Directory: Techniques → Supportive Techniques

Para Para Boogie is a hypnotic song and dance technique used by the Para Brothers.

Overview

This technique is used to trap their opponents by causing them to lose control of their bodies and dance uncontrollably, thus making them defenseless against attacks.

Usage

Trunksgokupan — Trunks, Goku, and Pan dance against their will

The Para Brothers use this on Beehay against Goku, Trunks, and Pan and are able to knock them out, giving them the necessary time to retain the Black Star Dragon Ball which Goku, Trunks, and Pan had left in their spaceship. However, the Moumas scared the brothers and Goku, Trunks and Pan, regain control of their bodies and knock them out.

They later used this technique when Pan asks Dolltaki how to get out of the Machine Mutant Luud.
