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