It later returns in Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2, though it is performed differently. It is Super Android 13's Ultimate Blast in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2. In Dragon Ball Heroes it is called Full Charge Deadly Bomber where it appears as Super Android 13 and King of Destruction Super Android 13's Super Attack.

Video Game Appearances[]

S.S. Deadly Bomber appears in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, where it is Android 13's ultimate attack in his base form and one of his Blast 2 in his Super form. It also one of his Super Attacks in Dragon Ball Heroes.

XV2 - S.S

Android 13 using S.S. Deadly Bomber in Xenoverse 2

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, as part of the Extra Pack 1 DLC, it appears as one of Android 13's Ultimate Skills. It can also be obtained by the Future Warrior as a reward in Parallel Quest 115: "Extreme Battle with Android 13!" which will randomly drop when Android 13 is defeated after the Ultimate Finish is triggered. In the game it functions identically to how it works in the film, homing in on the opponent after being fired, though it will explode if does not hit an opponent after a certain length of time has passed. It costs 400 ki or four ki bars to fire, though its slightly higher ki cost is to offset its powerful homing ability which makes dodging the energy sphere after it is fired difficult. Its homing ability is strong enough that it acts as a fire and forget Ultimate Skill, though it can be guarded or evaded using Evasive Skills. It can also be used by Super Baby 2 after unlocking it in Partner Customization.

Trivia[]

  • Both the name of the S.S. Deadly Bomber and Android 13's claim that it can destroy half the Earth only exist in the original Japanese version of the movie. In the English dub, the explanation about the S.S. Deadly Bomber was cut, instead, Android 13 simply mentions that Goku's crazy if he thinks he could even deflect the attack with his bare hands while indirectly making a reference to heat stroke.
  • Its naming scheme is similar to the name of Android 14's G.G. Atomic Blow in Dragon Ball Heroes and Android 15's F.F. Spark Cannon in Dragon Ball Heroes and Dragon Ball Legends.
    • Additionally all three techniques involve Energy Spheres (though F.F. Spark Cannon is a Energy Sphere Barrage, rather than a single Energy Sphere like S.S. Deadly Bomber & G.G. Atomic Blow).
