Absorption (吸収, Kyūshū)^[2]^[4] is a technique used by certain characters, and a form of fusion.

Overview

Absorption is usually used when a victim possesses certain strengths or abilities that an attacker desires. The technique involves either engulfing a victim completely, or using a part of their body to suck the victim into their body, thus gaining their power and abilities.

Usage

Majin

Majin Buu

SouthSupKaiAdsorbed — Kid Buu absorbs the Southern Supreme Kai

Majin Buu fully engulfs and takes an opponent into his body, causing an increase in his physical and/or mental powers. Buu usually has a severed body part liquefy, or he has a piece of skin fall off of his body. The goo will then sneak up behind the person, and stretch itself to be large enough to accommodate the target. It will then leap onto the person, and try to smother as much of the target as it can on the first strike to make the capture easier. If Buu is lucky, it will completely cover the person directly on the first leap. Once the goo is on the person, it will quickly cover up any part of the person that was not covered when it first leaped. Once the target is completely covered, the goo will squeeze and solidify, trapping the person. It is seemingly impossible to escape it, no matter what the circumstances (such as Piccolo, who the goo took a long time to cover due to his armor and Gotenks' constant struggle with the goo) but with the possible exception of Vegito who allowed himself to be absorbed, and used a Saiyan Shield to protect himself.

Buu will then raise his finger up, and the goo will then launch up into the air with the person inside of it. The goo will then fly straight into Buu and cover him. During the transformation, Buu will become liquefied himself, meaning that he takes over the goo and has surrounded the person with his own liquefied body. He then begins to mold back into solid form, making sure the person is in the center of the goo. The person is shrunken and is put inside Buu's body in a pod. The transformation is long and usually accompanied by loud moans and groans, most prominently heard when Buu absorbs Gotenks and Piccolo. As Buu is absorbing those two, the Fusion vest can clearly be seen forming roughly on Buu's shoulder showing that Buu is using Gotenks as his main power source and whether these sounds are of Buu struggling to absorb two beings at once or just because of all the power that Gotenks has or that Gotenks is still struggling during the absorption.

BuuAbsorb — Super Buu absorbing Gotenks and Piccolo

Unlike Cell, who took in life essence only through his tail, Buu can perform this technique with any part of his body, even a severed limb, or he can simply liquefy his whole body and cover the victim with himself. When absorbing another being, Buu always takes qualities of their outward appearance as well. In the case of the Z Fighters, he always donned a garment of his strongest victim (first Gotenks' vest, followed by Piccolo's cape, and finally the top of Gohan's martial arts uniform). He also gains knowledge of their attacks, like Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon, Gotenks' Galactic Donut and Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack, and Gohan's Kamehameha.

Chronologically, Kid Buu first used it against South Supreme Kai. He later reused absorption against Daikaioh.

In Dragon Ball SD, Innocent Buu is shown to retain Kid Buu's absorption ability which he uses to absorb Videl, Krillin, Master Roshi, Yamcha, and Puar resulting in several what-if absorption forms. Save for Puar which makes Innocent Buu smaller and makes him resemble a Neko Majin, the absorptions of Videl, Krillin, Master Roshi, and Yamcha only alter his facial features.

In the story of Dragon Ball FighterZ, clones of Kid Buu will appear and absorb enemies to power up, taking their spot on the map as foes in the process.

Buu also has a secondary form of absorption through the usage of the Transfiguration Beam, this was displayed by Evil Buu when he reflected Good Buu's Transfiguration Beam back at him, and also later in GT when Good Buu turned Mr. Satan and Pan into chocolate to absorb them.

Android 21

Android 21's evil side is capable of absorption thanks to having Majin Buu's cells. Her method of absorption is the same as Majin Buu's secondary method of absorption (by using the Transfiguration Beam). When her evil side absorbs Cell she takes on a further transformation.

Majin Ozotto

Majin Ozotto is capable of absorption.

Fin

Fin is able to absorb others by coating himself over them. He does this to Gogeta to become Dark Gogeta.

Bio-Android

Cell

Cell is able to absorb energy or even entire beings through his tail, gaining all of the strength of the person he has absorbed. He has two methods of absorption: the first method is to stab his target with the sharp end of his tail. The tail will then extract all of the organic matter of the victim, leaving the clothing behind. The process appears quite agonizing for the victim. According to Cell, this is how he feeds, as he often licks his lips before consuming a large population or an android. He also states that the more he eats, the hungrier and stronger he becomes. While this form of absorption is unusable on mechanical beings and is much less versatile in comparison to Majin Buu's absorption technique, Cell's absorption via stabbing the victim with his tail is the only form of absorption used in the series that makes the victim completely unable to be freed, due to the victim being broken down into genetic material and then integrated directly into Cell's body. During his first confrontation with Piccolo, acid dripped from his stinger, indicating that the absorption might happen by injecting a digestive enzyme into the victim and absorbing the dissolving genetic extract.

CellSemiPerfectAbs18NV — Cell absorbing Android 18 to achieve his Perfect Form

In addition to the above variation, Cell has a second method of absorption in which he will absorb a person whole. Cell will open up the pointed end of his stinger, and it will become a giant sucker. Cell will bring the sucker down on the person, and the sucker will swallow them through Cell's tail into his body. This ia a horrifying experience for the victim as when he absorbed the androids, they can be heard screaming in muffled voices, begging for Cell to let them out. The person will then be held unconscious in Cell's body. This method was designed for Android 17 and Android 18, who, due to not being completely organic (as they were human before Dr. Gero modified them), had to be absorbed whole. This is Cell's preferred method, as it gives him full power, and is the only way for him to advance to his Semi-Perfect and Perfect forms, respectively attained by absorbing one and both of the cyborgs. Cell's absorption through his tail is named Tail Trap in the Dragon Ball Z Collectible Card Game.

CellAbsorbsYoungGoku — Cell absorbing Goku in Hell

After Cell's self-destruction, it was revealed that his cells had remembered the perfect form that he had achieved by absorbing Androids 17 and 18, and even though he no longer had the androids inside of him, he was able to regenerate into his final, Super Perfect form. Even though Cell's tail retracted after becoming Super Perfect Cell, it is shown in Dragon Ball GT that Cell can still bring his stinger out and absorb other people using this technique, though Goku was able to escape when Cell absorbed him. The tail, like any part of his body, can also regenerate when removed, making it impossible for him to be deprived of his absorption capabilities without him or his target being killed first.

In Xenoverse 2, it is shown that it is possible for Imperfect Cell to absorb both 17 and 18 at the same time. It is shown that if he were to absorb both Androids at once he would skip his Semi-Perfect form and automatically transform into his Perfect form, though in order to do so in the main timeline he must be even stronger than Android 16, which he is able to achieve in the altered timeline of Age 767 thanks to Towa increasing his power through Dark Magic (this may also explain how Future Cell absorbed the Androids in the altered timelines of Age 785 in both Xenoverse and Xenoverse 2 as Towa may have granted him a similar level of power to defeat Future 17 & 18 allowing him to absorb them before Future Trunks returned from the Cell Games).

Mira

Mira Towa absorption — Mira's absorption

Like Cell, Mira is apparently capable of absorbing energy and beings into himself to make himself stronger. In Warrior from the Demon World Saga of Xenoverse 2, Mira uses this ability to absorb his creator Towa along with Tokitoki's Egg which she had been carrying at the time which is said to possess enough power to create time for an entirely new universe. As a result of absorbing both his creator and the powerful egg, Mira is transformed into a Super Saiyan 4-like/Demon Realm race hybrid form along with some of Towa's clothing and a complete infinity symbol on his chest, resembling Towa's hairband. When absorbing, Mira essentially pulls the beings he wishes to absorb into himself. It is implied by Mira that by absorbing his creator he can further his own evolution beyond Towa's schematics, indicating that his Final Form may be the product of the DNA incorporated in him mutating and evolving due to integrating Towa into himself, allowing him to completely surpasses his limitations. However Mira is weakened when Tokitoki's egg is removed by Goku using the Dragon Fist, while his absorption of Towa remains intact.

The apparent second Mira is also able to absorb Towa. Mira can also absorb Fin to achieve a more powerful Super Mira form.

Those absorbed by Mira will be released once he takes enough damage.

Big Gete Star

The Big Gete Star is able to absorb and incorporate things into itself to upgrade itself. It started as a sentient computer chip but absorbed an entire graveyard of abandoned satellites, and later what remained of Cooler in order to upgrade itself. In a special scenarion in the Nintendo DS game Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2, it also integrates Android 17 and Android 18 into itself until Cell steals them.

Hirudegarn

StrangeTailAttack2 — Hirudegarn's absorption

Hirudegarn's method of absorption is to raise his gigantic tail, open it and trap his victims with threads. He then sucks their energy out of their bodies and into his tail up into his head, while growing stronger with each second. He uses this technique to absorb humans in Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon.

Commeson

Main article: Commeson

VegetaAbsorbed — Vegeta absorbed by Commeson

Commeson, the deadly weapon created by the inhabitants of Planet Potaufeu, has the ability to absorb people and create an exact copy of them. The person is absorbed, and their energy is completely drained, while a perfect copy resembling the victim's appearance is created. The copy has access to all of the victim's techniques, memories, and even has their same personality and beliefs, while leaving the victim entirely drained of their Ki.

In Dragon Ball Super, this weapon was introduced. Many past invaders of Potaufeu fell victim to this weapon, while under the false pretense that this was a miracle water named "Superhuman Water" which increased the drinker's power by a thousand-fold. The intergalactic criminal Gryll, who was after the Superhuman Water, and Vegeta, who was recovering a stowed away Trunks and Goten, fell victim to this weapon, and an exact copy of them was created. The victims of Commeson will have their bodies disappear within 3 to 5 minutes of being absorbed, and they will die unless their copy is defeated.

Machine Mutant

Luud

LuudAbsorbsFollowers — Luud absorbing several dolls

Luud absorbs the people he turned into dolls in order to collect their energy. To do so, he creates winds that bring the doll to his mouth. In the arcade game Dragon Ball Heroes, Luud instead fires a mouth blast that capture his victim and brings him/her to his mouth.

General Rilldo

General Rilldo is able to absorb the left over parts of the Sigma Force in order to turn into his Hyper-Meta Rilldo form.

Super 17

In the arcade game Dragon Ball Heroes, Super 17 has exclusive transformations where he absorbs either Android 16 or Cell to increase his power. He is called Super 17 (Android absorbed) and Super 17 (Cell absorbed) respectively. His appearance remains roughly the same, just that his muscles bulk up and, with Cell absorbed, he has black parts similar to those of Perfect Cell on his cheeks, shoulders, chest, and legs.

Naturon Shenron

Absorbing others is the primary tactic of Naturon Shenron, the Seven-Star Shadow Dragon. His absorption technique involves releasing a blue aura from his corrupted Dragon Ball, which draws a nearby organism into his body. In his only on-screen absorption, he reverted to his Dragon Ball form to trick his enemies into thinking he was beaten.

After absorbing a victim, Naturon grows exponentially into a more monstrous version of himself, inheriting small elements of his victim's appearance and some of their abilities. No matter what form he takes, Naturon Shenron always seems to keep his pink nose, as well as his horns, claws, and whiskers (but they change size and color depending on what he has absorbed). The victim remains suspended in Naturon's body, bound by tendrils of flesh, and Naturon can move them through his mass at will. Naturon appears to draw life energy out of his victim to sustain his form, as he claims that he can "burn out" his host bodies with sufficient exertion. The only way to remove Naturon's power is to either forcibly remove his victim or to "burn it out" with prolonged combat, after which Naturon will be forced to expel his victim and seek a new one.

Naturon Shenron used his absorption technique to absorb a mole. After seemingly being defeated, he switched to Pan. After losing Pan, he tries to absorb a crow but Super Saiyan 4 Goku stops him.

Ahms

Ahms can absorb others by firing a beam out of itself, if Ahms absorbs multiple targets at once it will take on a composite form.

Mechikabura

Mechikabura is capable of absorption using the Chaos Ball in order to improve his time power. In the game when absorbs a black hole containing tens of millions of years worth of space-time, allowing him to achieve the Time Power Unleashed form. In the manga he absorbs the Demon Gods: Dabura, Putine, Gravy, Salsa and Shroom to take on his Time Power Unleashed form, and later goes on to absorb Demon Goddess Towa as well as parts of the Time Nest.

Trivia

In Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Baby's ability to possess people is referred to as absorption. With the pre-battle summary saying Baby absorbed many of Goku's friends, and with Baby stating that he absorbed Vegeta.

+;Super 17
 In the arcade game ''Dragon Ball Heroes'', [[Super 17]] has exclusive transformations where he absorbs either [[Android 16]] or Cell to increase his power. He is called '''Super 17 (Android absorbed)''' and '''Super 17 (Cell absorbed)''' respectively. His appearance remains roughly the same, just that his muscles bulk up and, with Cell absorbed, he has black parts similar to those of Perfect Cell on his cheeks, shoulders, chest, and legs.
-===Naturon Shenron's absorption===
+===Naturon Shenron===
 Absorbing others is the primary tactic of [[Naturon Shenron]], the Seven-Star [[Shadow Dragon]]. His absorption technique involves releasing a blue aura from his corrupted [[Dragon Ball (object)|Dragon Ball]], which draws a nearby organism into his body. In his only on-screen absorption, he reverted to his Dragon Ball form to trick his enemies into thinking he was beaten.

 Naturon Shenron used his absorption technique to absorb a [[mole]]. After seemingly being defeated, he switched to [[Pan]]. After losing Pan, he tries to absorb a [[crow]] but [[Super Saiyan 4]] Goku stops him.
-=== Mira's absorption ===
+===Ahms===
+[[Ahms]] can absorb others by firing a beam out of itself, if Ahms absorbs multiple targets at once it will take on a composite form.
-Like Cell, Mira is apparently capable of absorbing energy and beings into himself to make himself stronger. In [[Warrior from the Demon World Saga]] of ''Xenoverse 2'', Mira uses this ability to absorb his creator Towa along with Tokitoki's Egg which she had been carrying at the time which is said to possess enough power to create time for an entirely new universe. As a result of absorbing both his creator and the powerful egg, Mira is transformed into a Super Saiyan 4-like/Demon Realm race hybrid form along with some of Towa's clothing and a complete infinity symbol on his chest, resembling Towa's hairband. When absorbing, Mira essentially pulls the beings he wishes to absorb into himself. It is implied by Mira that by absorbing his creator he can further his own evolution beyond Towa's schematics, indicating that his Final Form may be the product of the DNA incorporated in him mutating and evolving due to integrating Towa into himself, allowing him to completely surpasses his limitations. However Mira is weakened when Tokitoki's egg is removed by Goku using the [[Dragon Fist]], while his absorption of Towa remains intact.
+===Mechikabura===
+Mechikabura is capable of absorption using the [[Chaos Ball (Mechikabura)|Chaos Ball]] in order to improve his time power. In the game when absorbs a black hole containing tens of millions of years worth of space-time, allowing him to achieve the [[Time Power Unleashed]] form. In the manga he absorbs the [[Demon God]]s: [[Dabura]], [[Putine]], [[Gravy]], [[Salsa]] and [[Shroom]] to take on his Time Power Unleashed form, and later goes on to absorb Demon Goddess Towa as well as parts of the [[Time Nest]].
 ==Trivia==
 *In ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2]]'', Baby's ability to possess people is referred to as absorption. With the pre-battle summary saying Baby absorbed many of Goku's friends, and with Baby stating that he absorbed Vegeta.
