Earth-Splitter (地球割り) is an ability used by Arale Norimaki. Arale punches the ground beneath her, causing the entire planet to split in half.

Overview

Earth-Splitter in Dragon Ball: Origins 2

Arale first uses this technique in Dr. Slump, to impress Sourman after the latter smashed clay tiles with his fist. The Earth-Splitter is used in Dr. Slump for comic relief rather than as an offensive technique. Arale usually uses a weaker version of the Earth-Splitter to make fissures to create small openings in the ground, or as an attempt to stop someone.

In Dragon Ball Super anime, Arale uses it again for comical relief while confronting Vegeta and Goku under the effects of Playtime X, though Vegeta sees it as further proof Arale is a gag manga character not bound by the laws of physics as such a technique would normally have negative consequences.

Unlike Frieza's Earth Breaker and other planet destroying techniques, Earth-Splitter never causes serious damage to the Earth and is simply an over-the-top gag technique used to comically show how insanely physically strong Arale is thus not meant to be taken seriously.
