Explosive Madan (爆力魔閃 Bakurikimasen, lit. "Explosive Power Demon Flash") is a short-ranged version of the Masenko used by Gohan.
Overview
Gohan uses an Explosive Madan against Frieza's Soldiers
First, Gohan raises his hands above his head and charges yellow energy in his palm. He then thrusts his hands forward and fires a short, but giant yellow shock wave of energy at the opponent, inflicting a high amount of damage.
Usage
Gohan uses the Explosive Madan during his battle against Dabura. As the demon king uses multiple Cape Swings to keep Gohan away, Gohan flies underwater, swims to directly beneath Dabura, and fires the Explosive Madan. As Dabura prepares to counter, Gohan appears above Dabura. Despite Dabura's attempts to block him, Gohan punches Dabura away and narrowly avoids getting hit by his own attack.
Film Appearances
In Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’, Gohan later uses this attack against multiple Frieza Soldiers.
