"This is the end, Saiyan!"
— Goku Black before launching a Black Power Ball at Future Trunks.

Black Power Ball (ブラックパワーボール, Burakku pawā bōru) is an Energy Sphere used by Goku Black. This is one of his signature attacks.

Overview

File:Black as Mai threw a flash grenade him.png

Black charges the attack before being hit by Mai's flash grenade

The Black Power Ball is charged by one hand, creating a golden energy sphere with a core of black energy, creating a devastating explosion upon impact. When fired, the energy ball is completely golden with a black outline. Black uses Black Power Ball in creative ways, such as a hailstorm.

Usage

Goku Black uses this attack against Future Trunks several times during their battles in the future. One of which nearly killed Future Mai in his latest encounter. He also uses this attack several times against Goku when Black followed Trunks back in time, and used it to destroy Future Trunks' time machine.

After imprinting Goku's fighting style, the Black Power Ball becomes far more powerful, increasing its destructive capabilities. As Super Saiyan Rosé, the Black Power Ball takes on a pink color instead of being golden and can be converted into an Energy Wave. This version is called Divine Retribution.

Future Zamasu is also shown to use this attack, God Splitter, albeit in an indigo color.

Variations

Future Zamasu's Energy Ball and Goku Black's Power Ball as a Super Saiyan Rose respectively — Divine Retribution and God Splitter shown respectively.

- Heavenly Arrow - A energy barrage variant used by Future Zamasu combining God Split Cut and God Splitter, the former using the latter as a medium.
Divine Retribution - Goku Black's version of the Black Power Ball in his Super Saiyan Rosé state.
- Sudden Death Beam - A combination of Goku Black's Divine Retribution and Instant Transmission used by Goku Black in his Super Saiyan Rosé form.
Continuous Black Power Ball - A rapid fire version of the technique, appearing as small golden ki blasts with black outline.
- Human Extinction Attack - An aerial hailstorm-like energy barrage version of Continuous Black Power Ball.
Holy Light Grenade - A more powerful version of the Black Power Ball, being larger and orange or purple in appearance.

As [[Super Saiyan Rosé]], the Black Power Ball takes on a pink color instead of being golden and can be converted into an [[energy wave]], with properties similar to a [[kiai|''kiai'']].

-Future Zamasu is also shown to use this attack, albeit in an indigo color. However, the true scope of its power remains unknown as he is only shown using the Energy Ball to combine with Black's. When Black and Zamasu combine their Energy Balls the attack looks like a giant falling meteor, either orange or purple in color, depending on whether or not Black is in his Super Saiyan Rosé form. Its destructive power is also increased exponentially.

-Fused Zamasu later uses this attack against Goku and Vegeta twice in the manga. Once in attempt to finish the Dragon Team off, which was to no avail. And another in attempt to finish Goku off when he fought Fused Zamasu alone, in which [[Vegito]] blew off before he could throw it. Later on, Fused Zamasu uses a stronger varation of the Black Power Ball, [[Holy Wrath]], at one point to combat [[Completed Super Saiyan Blue]] Goku but it was tossed away by the latter in the struggle. In the anime, Fused Zamasu used a Combined Black Power Ball against Future Trunks after breaking his sword, then using Holy Wrath in attempt to finish him off.
