Buster Cannon

Directory: Techniques → Offensive Techniques → Energy Wave

Buster Cannon (バスターキャノン, Basutā Kyanon) is an Energy Wave used by Future Trunks in his Super Saiyan form.

Overview[]

Future Trunks draws his hands back down to his sides and charges two blue energy spheres in his hands. Then, he combines them together in front of him to fire the energy wave at the opponent, inflicting a great amount of damage.

Usage[]

In Dragon Ball Z: The History of Trunks, Future Trunks uses this attack in his Super Saiyan form during his battle against Future Android 17 and Future Android 18. After being blasted away by Future 17 and Future 18, Future Trunks emerges from the explosion, and attacks and knocks the two Androids away. Future Trunks then flies up into the air and fires the Buster Cannon down at Future 17 and Future 18, creating a huge explosion. Future Trunks believes he has won but, as the smoke clears, Future Android 17 and Future Android 18 appear unaffected by the attack, much to Future Trunks' shock. Future Trunks described this move as his strongest move at that time.
