Directory: Techniques → Offensive Techniques → Continuous Energy Bullet

Barrage Death Beam (連続デスビーム, Renzoku Desubīmu)^[8]^[9]^[10] is a variation of the Death Beam used by Frieza and Cell.

Overview[]

First, the user extends his index finger at the target as if he were to fire the Death Beam. Then, he fires multiple Death Beams at a very fast rate, inflicting a great deal of damage.

Usage[]

FriezaSSGokuBarrageDeathBeam — Frieza uses the Barrage Death Beam against Super Saiyan Goku

Frieza uses this attack a few times in his final form during his battle on Namek. The first is when Goku arrives on the battlefield where Gohan, Krillin and Piccolo witnesses Vegeta being tortured by Frieza. Frieza starts off by firing one Death Beam at Goku, but the Saiyan easily deflects the blast. Frieza then fires the Barrage Death Beam, thinking Goku would not be able to deflect them. However, Goku uses just one hand to easily deflect all of the Death Beams away from his friends, much to Frieza's surprise.^[11]

Frieza later fires the Barrage Death Beam again at Goku. However, the newly transformed Super Saiyan easily dodges the beams, which destroy the remaining islands and other rock formations, only allowing the most powerful beam in his barriage to hit him in the face to demonstrate it would not have had any effect on him anyways after baiting Frieza into attacking by sarcastically retorting the tyrant forgot to add please to his request.^[12] Frieza later uses the attack while toying with Gohan when they thought Goku was dead.^[13]

Cell can use the Barrage Death Beam in his Perfect form, mostly due to having some of Frieza's cells inside the Bio-Android. In the Cell Games, Cell uses the Barrage Death Beam while fighting Super Saiyan Full Power Gohan, though the young Saiyan is able to dodge them.^[14]
