JeicesCrusherBall

The Crusher Ball

In order to use the attack, Jeice concentrates a high amount of energy in his left hand and creates a mid-sized, red-colored energy sphere by turning his palm upward. Then, Jeice slams the sphere with his open right hand hurling the energy sphere towards the opponent, inflicting a high amount of damage.

Usage

Jeice was a pitcher in the Galactic Little League during his childhood, and it is there that he developed the Crusher Ball as his special technique.[9]

Jeice uses this attack once while fighting Goku on Namek. After swiftly evading Burter and Jeice's previous attacks, Burter suggests that Jeice uses the Crusher Ball as a distraction so Goku can leave his guard down. Jeice does so, however, Goku easily deflects the attack as if it were a beach ball.
