Human Extinction Attack (人類絶滅攻撃[7][8] Jinrui Zetsumetsu Kōgeki) also known as Assault Rain (アサルトレイン)[1][2][3][4] is a Continuous Energy Bullet used by Super Buu.

Overview[]

Super Buu raises his hand up in the air and charges a pink aura around his body. Then, he fires a massive barrage of pink energy waves up into the air to rain down on the opponent, inflicting a large amount of damage.

Usage[]

Super Buu uses this attack to kill all of the Earthlings on Earth. When Piccolo suggests to an impatient Super Buu that Buu could kill some humans while waiting to fight Gotenks (conditionally promising to his friends that he will wish the victims back to life), Super Buu walks around The Lookout to calculate the number of humans still alive and then proceeds to use the attack to lethal effect, killing everyone on the planet in a matter of minutes. Only Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu are skilled enough to dodge the blasts and escape from death. Mr. Satan and Bee are also spared due to the friendly Good Buu's influence on Super Buu.

    • Future Android 18 also uses that attack in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot as part of the -Trunks- The Warrior of Hope DLC. However, in Kakarot it is depicted as producing a spherical explosion around her and Future Android 17 rather than raining down multiple blasts like Human Extinction Attack.
  • King Piccolo uses a similar attack in Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo. Once he finishes, he uses an Explosive Wave.
  • Fused Zamasu uses a similar technique in the manga, though it didn't attack anybody due to no humans besides the heroes living anymore. Additionally, he performed said technique two-handed.
  • It is by far the most lethal energy barrage technique ever used in the series due to it wiping out most of the Earth's population with extreme precision. It is also one of the most lethal techniques in the series as it killed most of Earth's population with the exception of those on the Lookout, Mr. Satan, Tien, Chiaotzu, and Fortuneteller Baba.
