Class

Energy Wave

Mouth Energy Waves^[9] are several almost identical attacks used by different characters in the same way: by blasting a large amount of energy from their mouth. It is a very swift technique and quite powerful with exploding and piercing properties depending on the way it is used.

Overview

Mouth Energy Wave can be considered a generic term for any energy beam shot from the mouth.

Usage

TambourineDestroysKintoun — Tambourine firing a Chou Makouhou (first usage of the technique in the *Dragon Ball* series)

It is used by several Namekian characters towards the later part of Dragon Ball. In the King Piccolo Saga, Tambourine uses it to destroy Goku's original Flying Nimbus,^[10] and King Piccolo uses it to destroy Shenron after having his youth restored.^[11]

Later in the Piccolo Jr. Saga, Piccolo uses this attack in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament after using his Giant Form and again as a sudden attack to pierce a large hole through Goku's right shoulder; he also uses it in the Vegeta Saga to quickly destroy the final Saibaman,^[12] as well as in Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest to destroy a Bio-Man (Explosive Breath Cannon). Arlian Guards use this against Nappa and Vegeta.^[13]

Dodoria uses it to try to kill Bardock,^[14] but the Saiyan survived, albeit heavily injured, as well as to kill one Namekian child, Cargo, in the anime (in manga, Frieza's Death Beam did the deed) and to kill a Warrior-type Namekian.

Semi-Perfect Cell uses a Mouth Energy Wave during his battle against Super Vegeta in an attempt to surprise him, although Vegeta survives.^[5]

Innocent Buu and Super Buu are known for using the technique many times. Super Buu's version is called Ill Flash.

In the movies: Angila, Lord Slug, Bio-Broly, Janemba, and Broly (DBS) also use this kind of attack.
