"I seek power for Elec's sake alone. I follow his commands in order to make Heeters the supreme organization in the universe." |
Gas (ガス Gasu) is part of the Heeter family. A fighting prodigy, he serves as the family's muscle and is the central antagonist of the Granolah the Survivor Saga.
Concept and Creation[]
Gas and the other Heeters were created by Toriyama,[1] he helped Toyotarou with designs for them, putting special emphasis on getting their designs right.[1]
Gas' name comes from Gas.
Appearance[]
Gas was originally the shortest of the Heeter family, lacking both eyebrows and nose, with dark turquoise circles under his eyes, long purple dreadlocks, pointy ears and turquoise skin. He wears a white bodysuit under a red jacket with golden accents, a mind restraint similar to a headband with bones, a pair of blue boots with white soles and a golden buckle on each and a Heeter symbol on his chest.
40 years ago, he looked slightly younger with a shorter loosened hair due to his headband's lack.
After Elec wished him to become the strongest mortal in universe 7, he became more adult in appearance, having grown to be the tallest of the Heeters with a noticeable increase in muscle mass and a more mature face. Also, the flaps of the red suit he wears now extend from his hips all the way down to below his knees. Upon awakening from his rampage and gaining control over his full power, his forehead grew and thickened slightly with horns sprouting downwards from his temples.
Closeup of Gas' zombie-like state
After transforming once again by burning up his body's cells in need of power, his body turns decrepit, with a skinnier body and sunken skin while his clothes become noticeably more torn up on upper and lower parts of his red tunic. After taking a powerful blast from Granolah that was charged with his life energy, his body withered away drastically, with many wrinkles on his skin, and his sclera completely blackened out with white ring pupils and his left eyebrow always raised. Over the course of the following battle, he shed more and more flesh, with the left side of his mouth exposing his teeth.
Personality[]
Gas is a quiet individual who lets his actions speak louder than his words. Focused and extremely loyal to his family, Gas is usually the first one to jump in to defend them at the first sight of danger, especially his brother Elec, whom he follows and obeys without question. His loyalty to his family was strong enough that not even Goku's attempt at talking him out of his actions as well as citing past experience regarding brothers deterred him from attempting to conquer the universe for Elec, which eventually left Gas shocked at Elec revealing his true nature and calling him "worthless scum", however regardless he still remained loyal to his brother, immediately trying to achieve his goal of eliminating Frieza when the tyrant made his appearance.
Unlike previous foes in the series, Gas takes a very serious and pragmatic approach to fighting his enemies, usually trying to eliminate the threats as quickly as possible. With that being said, Gas is a very prideful individual. Due to his prodigious strength, he likes to fight enemies when he wants and on his own terms. This was first seen by his displeasure of Granolah working for the Heeters as a bounty hunter, as Gas believed he already provided enough value as the family's muscle. He was also displeased when Elec barred him from fighting Granolah the first time. He was also less than enthused at the prospect of using the Dragon Balls to artificially boost his strength, as he believed he had more than enough power already and was initially very reluctant to use his newly gained powers, although he would ultimately come around.
In spite of all this, one of Gas' major character flaws stems from his loss against the Saiyan Bardock during the invasion of planet Cereal 40 years prior. Despite the fact that the Heeter far outclassed the Saiyan, Gas was defeated. This loss seemed to have mentally impacted Gas, who has held a grudge since then, causing him to obsessively train and refine his abilities to avoid the same situation. While in his berserk form, during a short scuffle with Goku, he had a flashback of the moment of his defeat at the hands of Bardock, which caused him to recoil in fear. However, with some encouragement from Elec, Gas was seemingly able to overcome this trauma to some degree. Likewise, despite his hatred for Bardock, he seems to hold the grit and determination he showed in their fight in high regards, something that he does not see in Goku, much to his disappointment.
In the final hours of his lifespan, Gas was still unaware that his power was destroying his body, and even ignored self-preservation entirely, willing to fly into energy blasts to accomplish his goals of victory. It was only after overhearing Elec's claim that Gas' lifespan was running out that he stopped fighting, shocked by the revelation that he was dying, his loyalty dwindling. Upon Frieza's arrival, this shock faded as he remembered his older brother's goal to kill Frieza, still determined to follow the Heeters' plan, which ultimately cost him his life.
Biography[]
Background[]
The Heeters observe planet Cereal
Gas was with his siblings in the aftermath of the Frieza Force taking over planet Cereal. Upon encountering Bardock seemingly about to kill the survivors of the purge, Gas shielded himself and his siblings when Bardock turned on them, and then went to hunt him and the survivors down. Gas caught up with the group and battled Bardock. The fight resulted in Gas using his strongest form to have a chance. However, despite his strength, Gas was defeated by Bardock, despite his strength due to Bardock focusing entirely on victory to overwhelm him, forcing Elec to step in and shoot him, although not before both brothers strongly hinted at knowledge of a plan Frieza had in store for Bardock and the other Saiyans.
Gas came with Elec to see about the bounty hunter from Cereal who had been made a big deal about, with this turning out to be a young Granolah. Elec chose to recruit Granolah, much to Gas' disdain as he disliked the Cerealian and found him unnecessary.
Dragon Ball Super[]
Granolah the Survivor Saga[]
Gas restrains Granolah
Gas is present upon Granolah's delivery of Seven-Three to the Heeters, when Granolah aggressively approaches Elec seeking information upon being told Frieza has been brought back to life, Gas swiftly incapacitates him and then lets him go upon Elec's order. Speaking of Granolah's hotheaded nature, Elec notes the Heeters would be in trouble where he to surpass Gas, to which Gas and Macki retort that such a thing could never happen. Gas and his siblings go on to watch the data that Seven-Three has stored within him in order to learn of Zuno's location and reminds his family of the Namekians who used to live on Cereal when discussing the existence of Dragon Balls.
While the Heeters are enjoying entertainment, Granolah returns once again - having become the greatest warrior in the universe he seeks Frieza's location so he can kill him. With his new power Granolah easily beats Oil and then Macki, as Macki is tossed by Granolah via his scarf Gas intervenes to help his sister. However, any further fighting is halted by Elec, much to Gas' dissatisfaction. Gas then watched Elec question Granolah on his power before they learned Granolah used the Cerealian Dragon Balls to obtain it, at the cost of shortening his lifespan. Afterwards Gas has dinner with his siblings as Elec explains their plan going forward. When Oil and Macki are sent to Zuno, Gas expresses his belief that all of this is unnecessary just to deal with Granolah and believes he could have dealt with him, Elec reassures him, saying that while this might be true it could have been bad in the worst-case scenario and Gas will have his moment against Frieza.
Gas, the strongest warrior in the universe
Later Gas heads to Cereal with Elec in order to meet Macki and Oil, who have obtained the Dragon Radar and set up Goku and Vegeta to fight Granolah. As Granolah begins to overwhelm Ultra Ego Vegeta, Gas reports that they are about to reach the location of the first of the Cerealian Dragon Balls. After obtaining it they head after the second and during this trip Gas reflects on his encounter with Bardock 40 years ago, and his failure to kill the Saiyan. Macki tells Gas and Elec that Granolah and the Saiyans have stopped fighting, so Elec sends the two to join up with Oil to finish them off while he goes after the last Dragon Ball to wish for Gas to become the strongest in the universe. Elec is successful before Gas and Macki reach their foes. After Goku, Vegeta and Granolah react in shock to the immense power approaching them Oil and Macki proudly present Gas - now the strongest in the universe - to their foes. Gas fires off a beam that cuts the land and destroys Granolah's ship then quickly incapacitates Granolah and Goku with energy constructs. He soon recognized Goku as Bardock's son, something Oil confirms. After learning Bardock was dead, he settled for killing Goku and the remnants of the Saiyans. Before he can kill Goku, he is attacked by Granolah and the two battle, with Gas easily beating down his rival.
Having been healed by Monaito, Goku transforms into his Perfected Super Saiyan Blue form to try and buy time, but Gas easily takes him down too.
Gas during his fight with Granolah
Thanks to Vegeta giving Granolah his Senzu Bean, the Cerealian returns to battle to face Gas once again. The two continue to fight with Granolah now able to hold his own with the aid of Oatmeel. However, it is revealed that Gas is still merely relying on his own arsenal of techniques rather than the new ones that have been given to him once the wish had been granted. Gas eventually decides to use these techniques including Instant Transmission and Hakai and begins to hold a clear advantage over his opponent. Granolah removes his vest and leaps into action again to prove an even match for Gas with Vegeta noting that even though Gas boasts speed and power, his use of Instant Transmission is sloppy in comparisons to Granolah, allowing to still have a chance at victory.
Gas lunges at Granolah
As the battle continues however, Gas adapts to Granolah's tactics and gains the edge once more, easily taking down Granolah's clones. However, this is revealed to have been a ploy by the Cerealian, who was discreetly charging a powerful energy blast, which he uses to knock Gas into the nearby river, as Macki and Oil go to Gas' side, Granolah recoils in pain from the accumulated damage from his clones. Elec suddenly arrives and takes off Gas' headpiece, having him unleash his inner nature and transform into a powerful berserk state. In this state, Gas overwhelmed Granolah while his siblings noted on his madness. Macki and Oil attempted to stop him, but he proceeded to knock them away before turning his attention to the Saiyans. He effortlessly beat Vegeta, forcing Goku to intervene. In the process, Gas had a brief recollection of his fight with Bardock and knocked himself away. As he raged in his form, Elec called out to him and snapped him out of his delirium by reminding him of his promise. Gas soon regained his wits and took control of his power, undergoing an awakening.
With his first display of power, he paralyses Goku and Vegeta, causing them to be unable to move just before breaking Granolah's arms after he attempts to kill his brother Elec. When Vegeta gives his last remaining energy to Goku due to being the only one left able to fight, Gas finds his next opponent.
Gas battles Goku once again
Gas attacks Goku with a multitude of special weapon-based energy techniques and puts him on the defensive. Following this he uses Telekinesis to throw buildings from the nearby ruined city at the Saiyan before striking him hard with a moving train. Goku flips up on to the top of the train and Gas joins him. Gas tells him that he was merely testing his power and didn't expect such techniques to kill him. Asking Goku to show his true strength, Goku charges once again with a barrage of physical strikes but fails to connect. Gas tells Goku that he does not seem to have the same fierce resolve that his father once had and questions if he really is his son. Goku is sent into the lake below and begins to suffocate underwater, however not satisfied by such a simple death, he returns Goku's counterattack right back at him.
Gas lands a mighty punch on Goku
As Goku wonders how he is going to be able to defeat his opponent, Gas spots Monaito using his Healing powers to partially restore Granolah. Gas makes a beeline for Monaito but before he is able to reach him, Goku grabs a hold of him and uses Instant Transmission to teleport them off of Cereal. On another planet, Jaco is doing his usual food shopping when Goku and Gas crash land nearby. After greeting Jaco, Goku confidently states that Gas has an inferior version of Instant Transmission compared to his own, a technique he has spent many years using. The two then continue to battle with Goku taking advantage of his teleportation skills, baiting Gas to teleport into embarrassing positions; getting a truck full of waste dumped on him, then dropping into a bath with the Galactic King.
Next, Goku and Gas are teleported into the Galactic Prison where Gas is mocked by villains from the past. Goku questions Gas's motives and his unquestioning obedience to Elec. Gas continues to attack Goku as he explains that he is grateful for Elec and plans to repay him by making the Heeters the universe's supreme organization.
Gas races back to Planet Cereal
On a volcanic planet, Goku appears nearby Whis and the Oracle Fish, followed shortly by a confused Gas. Goku reveals his ploy: he leaves using Instant Transmission back to the Galactic Patrol ship he just left. From there, he quickly chains together a sequence of Instant Transmissions before finally landing back on Cereal. Gas realizes that Goku has stranded him and is too far away to directly return to Cereal with Instant Transmission. Unable to follow Goku back along their route, Gas furiously asks Whis for the direction to Cereal, which he provides. Gas takes off into space at incredible speed.
Upon using Instant Transmission to return to Cereal, Gas faces Goku and Vegeta once more, making it clear that he intends to kill both of them before leaving Planet Cereal. Goku and Vegeta assume their Perfected Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego forms respectively, both filled with newfound resolve. While Gas is almost overwhelmed by their coordinated attacks. After managing to block and even repel a Beerus Ball from Vegeta, Gas pummels him, with Vegeta responding with a powerful counterattack, who is becoming more powerful from the damage inflicted.
Goku takes down Gas
Faced with this dilemma, Gas declares that he will kill Vegeta with one blow. Before he can, Vegeta continues to attack, leading to a brutal clash in where Gas manages to knock Vegeta unconscious. After this, Goku intervenes and transforms into True Ultra Instinct, having decided it to be the most appropriate for his power. After seeing a vision of Bardock within Goku's expression, Gas is quickly dominated after being pinned down by one of his own weapons.
With Gas on the ground, Elec bluntly reminds him that their goal is to kill Frieza, not the Saiyans, and that Gas should find the resolve to die in battle instead of the "pathetic showing" of Gas' power. As Elec leaves a cryptic comment regarding Gas' inability to fight again in the future, Gas rises once more with a burst of energy, now in a decrepit looking form.
Gas rushes Goku
With his newly unleashed power, Gas quickly overwhelms Goku, even when using his new form of Ultra Instinct, as he uses Telekinesis to try and rip Goku's head off. Fortunately, Goku is able to barely use Instant Transmission to escape. Creating energy gauntlets around his fists, Gas quickly gains the upper hand against Goku, though the Saiyan still refuses to give up. Just as the two begin to fly towards each other for another bout, a blast of energy is shot in between them, finding the source to be a semi-rejuvenated Granolah. Quickly rushing in, the Cerealian grabs Goku, tossing him to the ground before asking him for assistance in gathering energy for one final attack. Goku agrees, and when the dust settled, Gas and the other Heeters see Granolah and Goku in his True Ultra Instinct form, ready to fight together.
Vegeta tries to buy some time for Granolah to charge his attack
As Granolah begins charging an energy sphere, Goku rushes in to buy the Cerealian time, barely blocking a punch from the Heeter and retaliating with a powerful kick that briefly stuns him. Upon recovering, Gas once more quickly overwhelms him, throwing the Saiyan to the dirt before stomping him further down with energy-enhanced feet. Seemingly defeated, Goku lays on the ground, injured. Seeing his chance, Gas quickly fires a blast of energy at Granolah, only for the Cerealian to be encased in an Energy Shield, courtesy of Goku, who affirms to Gas that they would never give up. Enraged, Gas begins firing an immense number of blasts at Goku, with the Saiyan being unable to dodge or block and being forced to take them head-on. Visibly exhausted, Gas turns to Granolah after the Cerealian comments that his attack isn’t finished yet, mocking him and charging another Ki blast, ready to end him once and for all. Just before he could, however, a newly conscious Vegeta rushes in, tackling him before ordering Granolah to continue charging. Seeing their brother in trouble, Oil and Macki fly over in an attempt to help, only for Monatio to block them and cause them to faint with Hypnosis.
Gas is defeated
Seeing Granolah nearly done charging his attack, Gas throws Vegeta aside while Elec comments that Granolah wouldn’t dare fire his full power blast towards the surface, as it would destroy Planet Cereal itself. Hearing this, Goku quickly enters Perfected Ultra Instinct, creating a giant avatar of himself made of ki. Desperately trying to free himself, Gas orders the giant to unhand him, with Goku seemingly obliging by throwing him all the way into the atmosphere. With this, Granolah finally is fully charged, Oatmeal assists him with aiming as the Full Power Energy Ball is fired. Unable to dodge in time, Gas can only prepare as the massive blast engulfs him, the sheer magnitude of it causing the entire planet to shake. Gas then falls back down to the ground, unconscious and seemingly defeated.
Gas near the end of his life
However, just as the other fighters believe the battle to be over, Gas re-emerges and surprises them by firing an energy beam at Monaito, critically injuring him. They turn to see Gas still standing, though his body is further shriveled and decomposed. Gas mocks Granolah over whether he's still interested in revenge, then proceeds to use his telekinesis to slam Ultra Instinct Sign Goku and Ultra Ego Vegeta together before kicking them to the ground. As Goku and Vegeta counterattack, Gas fires a large energy wave at the two Saiyans, then charges right through the energy wave to surprise them and kick them both in the face. Goku and Vegeta note how unconcerned he is with taking damage and his rotting body. Goku kicks Gas' arm, breaking it and causing a piece of his flesh to tear off. However, Gas uses his broken arm to punch Goku across the face, and the Saiyans are shocked that the Heeter can still move his arm at all.
Gas moments before Black Frieza takes his life
Elec urges his brother to finish the fight and explains that they had to sacrifice Gas' remaining lifespan to make him the strongest in the universe. When Gas hears this, he is confused by what his brother means. He looks at his reflection in the water and is shocked to see what has happened to his face. Elec shouts at Gas to finish the Saiyans off while he can before Frieza arrives. Suddenly, Frieza appears on the battlefield to the shock of everyone. Frieza calmly notes that it's been some time since he last saw Gas and asks the Heeter what business he had with him. Gas, remembering his main purpose, bulks his body and lunges towards Frieza and announces his plan to kill him. However, to his shock, Frieza unveils a new transformation and casually stabs Gas through the chest. With his lifespan having already expired, Gas' body quickly crumbles, leaving only his bones. Gas' defeat brings an end to the Heeters' crazy plans and avenges Monaito in the process. To add insult to injury, Frieza promptly destroyed Gas' skull and calls him nothing but dust.
Power[]
- Manga
While originally very weak and the weakest of the Heeters, he is praised by his older brother Elec, as a fighting prodigy that could one day surpass Frieza himself, soon enough becoming the strongest of the Heeters. Forty years ago, during the Saiyan invasion of planet Cereal, Gas fought against Bardock, however despite the tremendous gap in strength - to which Bardock was seriously injured even despite managing to block an attack from Gas', and with Bardock's own attacks being described as like "pinpricks against Katchin", Gas opted to use his first transformation stage due to Bardock's tenacity, to which he continued to beat the Saiyan down. However even after taking on his berserk second transformation in frustration at Monaito's interference, Gas was defeated as a result of Bardock's absolute focus on victory causing him to evolve and become far more powerful than before.
In the present day, Gas is far stronger than he was forty years ago, easily able to defeat Granolah in an instant. Later on, despite Granolah having used the Cerealian Dragon Balls to become the most powerful mortal warrior in all of Universe 7, and effortlessly defeated Oil and Macki, Gas still desired to fight Granolah. To which, Elec told Gas he thought he might have beaten or been equal to Granolah if they had fought.
Base form Gas matches Granolah's full power
Thanks to Elec's wish, Gas becomes the strongest in the universe, surpassing Granolah. He is able to easily beat down the injured Granolah, and then easily overwhelms a partially healed Perfected Super Saiyan Blue Goku, to which Macki remarks he may have not even needed the wish to defeat their foes. When fighting a fully restored Granolah, Gas initially struggles against the Cerealian as he was reluctant to use his newfound powers, relying instead on his original techniques. As the fight progresses, he starts to dabble with his new powers, but remains at a disadvantage due to his lack of experience with them, notably being unable to keep up with Granolah's use of Instant Transmission. However, as the fight continues the Heeter begins to refine his new skills, slowly regaining the advantage and fighting on even grounds[2] against Granolah, with their battle tipping towards a stalemate, forcing the Cerealian into a sacrificial gambit to land a critical blow on Gas. Eventually Elec steps in, taking away the headband that suppressed Gas' power, causing him transform into his berserk transformation, completely outclassing Granolah at this point and violently pummeling him across the battlefield with little effort, as well as Goku, Vegeta and even the other Heeters.
Transformed Gas takes on Ultra Instinct Goku and Ultra Ego Vegeta
With further coaxing and manipulation from his older brother, Gas managed to regain control over his mind and powers, regaining his first stage transformation in the process. Elec noted that now Gas had truly become the strongest warrior in Universe 7. In this awakened state, Gas was able to cripple Granolah and then handle Goku who was using Autonomous Ultra Instinct and Perfect Super Saiyan Blue with little effort, while also using the fight to test out his new powers. Likewise, he could fly across deep space at extreme speeds that surpassed that of spaceships, crossing from a faraway planet to Planet Cereal in a matter of roughly twenty minutes.
After Goku and Vegeta were healed by Monaito they teamed up against Gas with a new resolve to focus entirely on victory as Bardock had. Despite both using Perfected Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego respectively, Gas still held the upper hand against the two, overwhelming the duo even when both worked in tandem to finish him with Vegeta's Beerus Ball. Elec believes this is due to the fact that Gas was granted his power after the Saiyan's acquired their most powerful forms.
When Vegeta continued the fight alone, Gas continued to hold the edge at first. But as the fight continued, the scales tipped in the prince's favor due to Ultra Ego converting the massive damage he took into additional strength. Eventually Vegeta grew strong enough to make the Heeter recoil in fear at the prince's failed last attack as the latter collapsed from the injuries taken. When facing Goku once more, who had opted for True Ultra Instinct, Gas struggled against Goku, with the Saiyan noting that at this point he held a slight edge against Gas. However, upon a second intervention from Elec, who proceeded to verbally abuse and manipulate Gas, the younger Heeter procced to tap into his new power further, causing him to assume an elder, decrepit form.
In this new form, despite his much older and somewhat frail look, Gas' strength, speed, skill, and reflexes are further augmented. He proceeds to overwhelm Goku's empowered Sign form with a variety of new and improved abilities and nearly finish him, before Granolah interrupted the fight with a surprise attack. It would take the combined efforts of Goku and Vegeta to slow Gas down long for the weakened Cerealian to shot Gas down with a charged ki blast.
Despite their combined efforts, Gas managed to withstand Granolah's final attack, though his body had further deteriorated as a result. Gas is capable of fighting against both Goku's empowered Sign form and Vegeta's Ultra Ego, yet due to his shortening lifespan, Goku and Vegeta perform better than before. Vegeta's punch is capable of ripping off part of Gas' face, and a single kick from Goku breaks the Heeter's arm and his flesh. As Frieza arrived, Gas bulks up his body and attempts to kill Frieza, but the emperor easily kills Gas with a single punch. It was then revealed that Frieza was exempt as a factor from Gas’ wish, due to being in a separate dimension at the time and likewise drastically increase his might from ten years' worth of training in said dimension.
As noted by Vegeta during the Super Hero Saga, he, Goku, Jiren, Broly, Moro, Gas, and Frieza all possess power on par with each other, however Gas is capable of wielding it to a higher degree than Goku and Vegeta due to operating in a Relaxed State.
- Statements by guidebooks and authors
Prior to Elec's wish to Toronbo, Gas' strength surpassed the likes of Nappa and the Ginyu Force and was about on par with Abo and Kado from Dragon Ball: The Return of Son Goku and Friends!.[3]
Abilities[]
- Flight – The ability to fly with the use of ki. Gas can fly through interstellar space at high speed, flying across the Universe in twenty minutes.
- Ki Sense – The ability to sense the energy of other beings.
- Pure Progress - As Gas gains battle experience from fighting powerful foes and being pushed to his limits, his moves become sharper and his strength grows, akin to how a Saiyan's battle prowess grows from fighting. His growth rate and adaptability are quite impressive, as he adjusted to his new powers at a quicker pace than Granolah, who also gained the same powers from the Dragon Balls. It is unclear if he had this ability naturally from his prodigious talent or if it was gained as part of the powers wished from the Dragon Balls.
- Relaxed State - The user stays in a relaxed state until the moment they need to attack, rapidly releasing their full strength in bursts to maximize offense for a short moment and thus allowing them to command 100 percent of their power, then dropping back down to avoid wasting energy. This results in a very efficient fighting style for the user and allows them to confuse opponents who believe their lower power to be their limit.
- Magic Materialization - Gas' signature technique and primary method of fighting is his ability to conjure things out of thin air which he uses to produce a vast arsenal of melee and medieval style weapons including: a pitchfork-like weapon, a pike, a swordstaff, a jousting lance, a javelin, a large battle axe, a size-altering morning star, a giant mallet, a meteor hammer-like weapon, a wrecking ball, a scimitar, multiple kunai, as well as several wrist-mounted swords, claws, four pronged propeller-like blades and multiple types of shields. Gas can also create multiple large, spiked walls which can use to crush his targets between. He is also able to manifest new clothing to replace his damaged ones. Gas spins his four-pronged propeller-like blades through willpower, an ability unique to Gas.[3]
- Restraining Technique - Gas forms Gravity Cage-like cubes around his opponents' limbs to force them to the ground.
- Ki Transfer - When utilizing a weapon, Gas often opts to transfer ki into it for combat purposes, surrounding it in a purple energy.
- Energy Shield - Gas is capable of quickly creating a domed barrier of energy around himself and others.
- Ki Blast - The most basic form of energy wave.
- Continuous Energy Bullet - Gas rapid fires ki blasts.
- Energy Sphere - By raising both hands, Gas can generate a large sphere of ki to throw at his opponents.
- Full Power Energy Wave - Gas fires a powerful wave of energy.
- Finger Beam - From his fingertip, Gas fires a powerful beam of energy which slices through whatever is hit by it.
- Scatter Finger Beam - Gas fires energy beams from all of his fingertips.

- Ray Blast - Gas unleashes blasts of energy in all directions. After unleashing his inner nature, this becomes a feature of his aura.
- Electric Shock - Gas grips his foe and sends an electric pulse through their body.
- Telekinesis - A technique that allows the user to manipulate objects and other people with the power of one's mind. After being gaining full control over the powers wished by the Dragon Balls, Gas becomes able to levitate much heavier objects than before such as several buildings and trains. He can also do this with a much higher degree of finesse for prolonged periods of time, as he did not require hand gestures to control the objects pathing, nor did his fight against Goku break his concentration at any point. He can go so far as to use this ability to twist his opponent's head off.
- Psychic Rock Throw - Gas is capable of tossing large buildings via telekinesis.
- Spirit Control - After empowered by the Dragon Balls, Gas gained proficiency in Spirit Control.
- Instant Transmission - After Elec's wish for Gas to become the strongest warrior in the Universe, Gas gains the ability to teleport instantly but Vegeta notes that his initial usage of it was sloppy. However, in his fight against Granolah he managed to adjust his skill with the technique to that of the Cerealian's own in a relative short amount of time. Gas is able to teleport his target from one location to another by first pointing at them and then at the destination he wants to move them to. Later in his second fight with Goku, his skill seemingly grew even further to the point of being able to track and follow him across planets.
- Cloning - The ability to evenly divide one's physical might to create tangible, self-thinking copies of oneself. While not displayed personally, Granolah gained this ability after wishing to become the most powerful warrior in Universe 7. To which, Gas gained all the same abilities with the same wish.
- Hakai - After Elec's wish for Gas to become the strongest warrior in the Universe, Gas gains the ability to reduce things to dust, as Granolah did. He can use it to create a powerful explosion, obliterating matter.
- Magic - Upon becoming the strongest in the universe, Gas gained the ability to perform feats of magic. Notably, Gas is able to cast a spell that makes the target's body become heavy and slowly crushes them through sheer power.
- Life Energy Manipulation - The magic ability to manipulate life energy. While not displayed personally, Granolah gained this ability after wishing to become the most powerful warrior in Universe 7. To which, Gas gained all the same abilities with the same wish.
- Fire and Flames - The ability to manipulate the life energy of the planet for offensive and defense usage. While not displayed personally, Granolah gained this ability after wishing to become the most powerful warrior in Universe 7. To which, Gas gained all the same abilities with the same wish.
- Life Energy Manipulation - The magic ability to manipulate life energy. While not displayed personally, Granolah gained this ability after wishing to become the most powerful warrior in Universe 7. To which, Gas gained all the same abilities with the same wish.
- Vacuum Survival - Gas is proven able to fly into outer space unaided, not requiring air or protective gear.
- Regeneration - By burning his cells, Gas is able to regenerate his damaged body. Doing so first to fix his horns after Goku broke them, and then to fix his arm as he powered up to fight Frieza.

- Energy Blade - When utilizing one of his conjured weapons, Gas sometimes surrounds it with ki to augment its attacking power.
- Giant Form - Gas manipulates his ki to form giant spectral arms and legs he can use to attack his opponent with.
- Ki Attack Alteration and Redirection – A technique where the user uses their ki to catch an opponent's ki blast, then alters it and fires it again as their own attack. Gas was able to turn Goku's Kamehameha into an energy sphere to throw at the Saiyan.
- Tornado Generation - Through unknown means, Gas is capable of whipping up a tornado.
- Inner Nature Unleashed
Gas fully transformed and berserk
Gas is capable of transforming into the Inner Nature Unleashed state,[4] when Gas loses control of this power, he immediately takes on the full extent of this power and transforms into a berserker. It causes his muscle mass to grow tremendously, his eyes to go blank, his incisors to become fangs, and horns to grow hanging downward from his temples. In this state, he becomes a rampaging brute who cannot discern friend from foe.
Two levels of this state appear: Even just this portion of power is difficult to control and so when Gas completely lost control in battle with Bardock 41 years ago, he lost control of this power from then on and had to wear a restraint to avoid unleashing it.
- Powered Up By Dragon Balls
.jpg){kind=link}
Gas as the universe's strongest
Thanks to Elec's wish to Toronbo, Gas took on a Powered Up By Dragon Balls state,[4] instantly transforming into the most powerful warrior in Universe 7.
As a result of the wish making him fully developed rather than enhanced, Gas appears much adult-like, becoming considerably taller and muscular with a more mature face. In this state, he surpasses the likes of Granolah, Vegeta, and Goku. In just his base state his power and abilities are comparable to Granolah's Full Power state.
- Awakened Form
Awakened Gas
Gas is capable of unleashing his inner nature to take on his Awakened Form,[4] however due to losing control of it and transforming into the berserk Inner Nature Unleashed state, Gas lost the ability to use this form for decades. This form is a slightly more muscular version of his base form but with horns, which initially uses a portion of this state's full power, however upon regaining the form Gas became able to access the power in full.
Gas regained this state upon facing Bardock's likeness in Goku and hearing his brother's words of encouragement, Gas underwent an awakening: finally able to control his true unleashed power, regaining his self-awareness and emotional control and regaining the ability to use the form without going berserk.
- Aged Form
Gas' transformation via burning through his cells
By steeling his resolve and unleashing everything, Gas takes on a new form,[5] an Aged Form.[4] In this state Gas' physical appearance becomes decrepit - with a skinnier body and sunken skin - but becomes far more powerful. Gas burns through his body's cells like fuel in this state, which is the reason for the drastic increase in power alongside the decrease in physical health. Goku notes that it leaves his power and body completely out of sync with each other. However, the feeling of doing this keeps Gas in a state of ecstasy rather than pain.
Gas pushed even further to a zombie-like state
It is later revealed the form was a side effect of the earlier wish to the Cerealian Dragon Balls for Gas to become the strongest being in existence due to the life-shortening nature of the wish. When he rematches Goku and Vegeta, the form was taking a significant toll on him, warping his appearance even more to the extent he appeared and acted zombie-like, with his only realizing what he had become after both Macki yelled it out to him in a desperate attempt to save him as well as catching a glimpse of his reflection in the river. Another benefit to this form is also revealed - no matter the damage Gas takes he can keep on fighting, even being able to move and punch using a broken arm.

List of Characters Killed by Gas[]
- Dragon Ball Super
- Monaito (Possibly) - Presumably killed when Gas fires a Ki Blast from behind, mortally wounding him. It is uncertain if Monaito was revived from death or near death.
Trivia[]
- Toyotarou's favorite among Gas' weapons are his handheld four-pronged propeller like-knives.[3]
- Gas' ability to utilize Restraint Cubes is similar to Hearts' signature Gravity Cage ability.
- Gas has a few similarities to Broly:
- Both are really quiet and calm for most of the time (at least in their base forms).
- Both were highly manipulated by the evil plans of one of their relatives (Paragus in Broly's case and Elec in Gas' case).
- A major difference, however, is that Elec pretended to care for Gas and only let out his true feelings of contempt for him late into their lives, while Paragus was implied to still ultimately care for Broly's well-being and regretted his manipulative and abusive treatment of Broly before dying at Frieza's hands.
- Both have berserk, bulky, blanked eyed forms (Legendary Super Saiyan in Broly's case and the Inner Nature Unleashed in Gas' case).
