Overview[]

Dbz73-23 — Vegeta double kicks Ginyu in Goku's body up into the air

First, Vegeta dodges the opponent's punch and lays on the ground to double kick them up into the air. Then, he backflips up onto his feet and flies up into the air above the opponent. Finally, Vegeta knocks the opponent down to the ground with a Double Axe Handle, inflicting a high amount of damage.

Usage[]

VegetaDoubleAxeHandleGinyuGoku — Vegeta double-axe handles Ginyu in Goku's body

Vegeta uses this attack during his battle against Captain Ginyu as part of his Wild Hunt, while Ginyu is in Goku's body. While the Amazing Impact portion of the attack was successful, Vegeta's follow flying charge was interrupted when Ginyu attempts to Body Change with Vegeta, only for Goku to jump in between Vegeta and Ginyu to return to his original body, with Vegeta confused by what had just occurred due to his unfamiliarity with Ginyu's Body Change technique.^[4]

He later uses it again during his battle against Android 19; when Android 19 attacks Vegeta with a barrage of punches and a final headbutt, the Saiyan prince is unfazed and retaliates by smashing Android 19 across the ground with three powerful attacks. Android 19 attempts a surprise attack, but Vegeta dodges it and counters with the "Amazing Impact" rush (while dodging Android 19's attacks in the air), knocking the Android down into the ground and creating a huge crater.^[5]

Vegeta used a shorter version of the rush in the Tournament of Power to pummel and defeat Hop of Universe 9.^[6]
