Double Buster (ダブルバスター) is a Full Power Energy Wave technique used by Trunks.

197-13 — Trunks charges the Double Buster

Trunks uses this attack while facing against his best friend Goten in the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament, calling it "Kikouha" (Energy wave). Gohan and Krillin, who are worried of the attack causing chaos in the World Tournament arena, try to prevent Trunks from firing it. Not listening the two Z Fighters, Trunks fires the attack at Goten, who dodges the attack. In the last moment, to the relief of Gohan and Krillin, Trunks guides the attack to avoid hitting the crowd, sending it into the air.
