Drumming was named in Dragon Ball Legends where it appears as the Special Quirk Skill Arts for Buu: Kid (DBL17-06S) which can reduce enemy Ki by 30. Additionally, 1-3 of the following effects will occur randomly: 15% to Damage inflicted for 10 timer counts, 15% to Damage inflicted for 10 timer counts, 15% to Damage inflicted for 10 timer counts. Additionally, Legends Limited Buu: Kid (DBL32-02S) does the Drumming gesture at the beginning of his Ultimate Move Arts Destruction Blaster and during its Legendary Finish animation after hitting his opponent with Planet Burst.
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, the Drumming animation is used after the user of Quick Sleep wakes up. Additionally drumming often appears in games as a simple animation for Kid Buu and Pure Majins in both Xenoverse 2 and Dragon Ball Online.
The Clone Buus are also shown to inherit the Drumming gesture in Dragon Ball FighterZ.
In Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle, it appears as Majin Conductor of Destruction Kid Buu's Active Skill, granting him ATK & DEF +20% for the rest of the current battle.
In Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension, Kid Buu pounds his chest when charging his ki.
Trivia[]
- This technique is comparable to the chest pounding gesture used by certain species of primate (such as Gorillas and even humans).
- In their Great Ape forms (as well as Golden Great Ape Goku in Dragon Ball GT) Goku and Gohan are known to use the chest pounding gesture as an allusion to behavior by both real world and fictional apes (such as King Kong).
- It seems this behavior is somewhat instinctual for Pure Majins even those who retain their "heart" (original personality).
