Big Tree Cannon

Directory: Techniques → Offensive Techniques → Energy Wave

Big Tree Cannon (ビクトリーキャノン, Biku Torī Kyanon)^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10] is a scaled down version of Vegeta's Final Flash used by Trunks. It is originally called Kiai Ho (気合砲, Kiai Ho lit. "Fighting Spirit Cannon") in the manga (however, it is unknown if it was a mistake or not, as it is very different from the regular Kiai Ho used during the series).

Overview[]

Trunks starts the attack by extending his arms to both sides of himself (in a manner reminiscent of his father's Final Flash) and forms two golden or blue energy spheres. Then, he brings his arms in front of him and holds out his hands with his index fingers pointed outward like a child pretending to use a gun and fires a large golden energy wave at the opponent, inflicting a high amount of damage.

Usage[]

Trunks (who is with Goten in a Mighty Mask disguise) first uses the Big Tree Cannon in an attempt to blast Android 18 out of the sky during the final match of the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament, but to his dismay, she dodges it.^[11]

It can be obtained randomly as a Raid Reward or by purchasing it at the TP Medal Shop's Artwork section. It should be noted that Trunks' aim is slightly off presumably a reference to it failing to hit Android 18.

Trivia[]

The technique's Japanese name, Bikutorī Kyanon (ビクトリーキャノン), can be translated as either "Big Tree Cannon" or "Victory Cannon". The Bikutorī Kyanon translated as "Victory Cannon" is used for Gotenks' Mouth Energy Wave technique in the Budokai series.
The name of the technique also is a pun on its user's name, Trunks and "Big Tree Cannon".
