Continuous Energy Bullets (連続気功弾 Renzoku Kikōdan, lit. "Continuous Energy Cultivation Bullets"),[23][24] or Continuous Energy Waves (連続エネルギー波 Renzoku Enerugī-Ha), are a combination of many energy waves, much more powerful than the average ki blasts, and fired at a very rapid rate. This technique is usually used as a last resort or a desperation move, typically motivated by frustration or rage.

Overview[]

The user usually brings their arms to their sides, charges up ki, and then they throws their hands forward one after another as they rapidly fires many energy blasts. It is effective for quick, widespread, and massive amounts of damage, but it is very draining on one's own ki level. However, if the user is powerful enough, they will be able to avoid the ki drainage effects of this combination technique. Like other techniques, this attack can be increased further through transformations, concentration, and training, and its power, speed, force, color, and size depend on the user.

Usage[]

The Continuous Energy Bullet is a widely used attack in Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and Dragon Ball GT. Vegeta is its most prominent user, having used his Lucora Gun so many times that when Majin Buu uses a Continuous Energy Bullet against Goku, Goku refers to it as Vegeta's move.

Piccolo uses his version of the Continuous Energy Bullet against Goku.

Vegeta uses the attack in an attempt to finish off Gohan during his battle on Earth, Gohan is able to run and avoid the blasts, but the explosions they cause send him flying headfirst into a cliff.

Cui used this against Vegeta as a part of his Ah! Lord Frieza! technique.

Vegeta later uses the Super Energy Wave Volley against Zarbon in his Monster Form state.

Gohan uses his version of this attack, the Gekiretsu Madan, against Frieza.

Piccolo uses Scatter Shot against Frieza.

After Frieza dodges Vegeta's various energy wave attacks, Vegeta re-uses the Super Energy Wave Volley, however, the tyrant is easily able to dodge every explosion. Vegeta finally stops the attack just as Frieza teleports in front of the Saiyan prince, which in a moment of despair is forced to appeal (futilely) to the Final Burst Cannon in an attempt to annihilate Frieza. After that, Frieza gives Vegeta a beating.[25]

During their match in the Cell Games, Goku uses his Continuous Kamehameha version against Cell, who blocks it with his Perfect Barrier.

Vegeta also uses the attack against Cell after the Maximum Flasher, enraged that Cell killed Future Trunks.

Liquiir uses his version during his brief sparring match with Iwan and Arak to test the durability of the Tournament of Power Arena within the Null Realm as ordered by the Grand Minister.

In Dragon Ball GT, Majuub uses the Super Energy Wave Volley against Baby, as well as does Pan as part of her Reliable Friend technique. Baby Vegeta uses this and forms them as Continuous Super Galick Gun.

Trivia[]

  • It is a running gag in the series for a victim of the Continuous Energy Bullet techniques to reveal themselves out of the smoke left by the blasts and appear unphased, with the one who used the attack to look surprised. For example, Vegeta's enraged attack against Cell when Future Trunks was killed. However, a few techniques have been successful at hurting them:
  • Krillin's Scattering Bullet is the first lethal Continuous Energy Bullet technique when it killed three out of the four remaining Saibamen.
  • Super Buu's Human Extinction Attack is the most lethal variant of the technique, killing countless Earthlings that survived Innocent Buu's rampage.
  • A video made by the YouTube channel Lonely's archives created a popular meme out of the technique by taking the Japanese voice clip of Goku saying "That's Vegeta's technique!" and playing it over instances of other characters using a Continuous Energy Bullet, leading to many internet users referring to the attack as "Vegeta's Technique."[27]
