Planet Burst (プラネットバースト) is Kid Buu's most powerful technique. It is referred to as his "Earth-Destroying Single Blow" (地球崩壊の一撃, Chikyū Hōkai no Ichigeki) in official books.

Overview

Screenshot 26 — Kid Buu throws his Planet Burst

First, Kid Buu raises one hand in the air and gathers his energy in the form of a giant, bright-pink energy sphere. Once it is ready, he launches the energy sphere at the opponent, inflicting a huge amount of damage. Goku notes that in its first use, it is strong enough to blow the Earth up at least ten times.

Kid Buu uses this attack to destroy the Earth after his previous attack is deflected by Vegeta's Final Burst Cannon. He also uses it to destroy other planets to track down Goku and Vegeta, and uses miniature versions during his battle with Goku in his Super Saiyan 2 form on the Supreme Kai Planet.

Appearances in games

The technique is used in Dragon Ball Z: The Legend. It is named Powerball in Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout, and Vanishing Ball (バニシングボール) in the Budokai series, Dragon Ball Heroes, and Dragon Ball: Xenoverse. It is used in the Budokai games as a part of Buu's ultimate attack, the Warp Kamehameha, where he sets off the attack with a Kamehameha.

It was named Planet Burst in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, where it is Kid Buu's Ultimate Blast; it was originally called Death Ball in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi, and it was renamed Planet Burst in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, the Raging Blast games, Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi, and Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z.

In Dragon Ball: Xenoverse, it appears under the name Super Vanishing Ball and is one of Kid Buu's Ultimate Skills. Kid Buu also has two variations of the technique, one is a weaker version called Vanishing Ball that appears as one of Kid Buu's Super Skills and the other is Teleporting Vanishing Ball which is another one of Kid Buu's Ultimate Skills. The Future Warrior can also obtain it as a reward in Parallel Quest 38: "Blast the Super Spirit Bomb!". The Future Warrior can also obtain the two other variations: Vanishing Ball in Parallel Quest 38: "Blast the Super Spirit Bomb! and Teleporting Vanishing Ball in Parallel Quest 48: "Gathering of the Great Evil Alliance". During the game's story, in an altered history of the Majin Buu conflict, Super Buu under the influence of Demigra's Dark Magic uses the technique to destroy Earth. Fortunately the Future Warrior manages to correct history somewhat when Kid Buu also under the influence of Demigra's Dark Magic uses the technique to destroy the Earth.
