Galick Beam (ギャリックビーム Gyarikku Bīmu) is a Finger Beam variation of Vegeta's Galick Gun used in the anime.
Overview
The first version has the user extend his index and middle fingers forward, charging a white energy sphere while streaks of electricity surround his body. He then fires the energy sphere in the form of an energy wave at the target or opponent, inflicting a large amount of damage. The second method has the user simply hold out his hand with index finger pointed outward and strikes the opponent with deadly force.
Usage
Vegeta first uses the attack as a kid. While attacking a planet with his father and several soldiers, Vegeta uses the attack to vaporize an alien.[1] During training, Vegeta also uses the technique to destroy Saibamen.[2]
While on Arlia with Nappa, Vegeta uses the Galick Beam to kill Lesoy and later to destroy Planet Arlia.[3]
On Namek, Vegeta uses the second version in an attempt to murder Tsuno when the village elder refuses to give the village's Dragon Ball, but a Namekian villager defends Tsuno from Vegeta's finger blast taking the shot instead.[4]
While on New Namek, Vegeta uses a barrage of Galick Beam attacks when fighting alongside Goku during the two Super Saiyans' battle against a Meta-Cooler.[5]
While in Super Buu's body, Vegeta uses the Galick Beam (while Goku fires a Finger Beam as well) to free their sons and Piccolo.[6]
When his training on Yardrat was interrupted, Vegeta used a Spirit Control-enhanced Galick Beam against Yuzun.[7]
While on New Planet Plant, Baby Vegeta uses a barrage of Galick Beam attacks when fighting Goku during the Golden Great Ape's attempt to destroy the Super Saiyan 4 in battle.[8]
Video Game Appearances
The technique was named Galick Beam in Dragon Ball Heroes, where it is Kid Vegeta's super attack.
Galick Beam appears under the name Cyclone Shot in Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle as a super attack for Super Saiyan Vegeta. Additionally Kid Vegeta (DBZ) uses Galick Beam under the name Galick Gun in Dokkan Battle. In World Mission, Galick Beam is Kid Vegeta's Super Attack. Additionally the Galick Beam can also be learned by Elite Type Avatars.
Trivia
- Though it does not appear in the Xenoverse series, its alternate name Bang Beam is shouted out by Male Voice Option 8 (Curtis Arnott/Takahata101, voice of TeamFourStar's Nappa from the Dragon Ball Z: Abridged online parody series) in both games for Dodon Ray presumably as a reference to the similarities between it and Vegeta's Galick Beam.
