Video Game Appearances

The technique appears in Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension under the name Scatter Energy Bullets (拡散エネルギー弾, Scatter Energy Bullets) and in Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury under the name Banshee Blast. It was named Scatter Finger Beam in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, where it is a Blast 2 used by both Salza and Vegito. Also, Super Vegito has it as a full-powered Ki Blast.

In Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z, it appears under the name Spread Finger Beam and is one of Super Vegito's Super attacks. However it is performed a bit differently, instead of five finger beams it is more like five ki blasts fired from each finger, and has the ability to lock-on to a single enemy to multiple enemies.

"Fire Ki Blasts from each of your fingers! The Ki Blasts will fly towards the opponent as if to prevent them from escape."
— Dragon Ball Xenoverse Skill description

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, it appears under the name Split Finger Shot and is one of Vegito's Super Skills. The attack is performed in almost the same way it was in Battle of Z, five ki blasts fired from each finger though it cannot lock-on to multiple enemies and the energy is a whitish-blue color. It can also be obtained by the Future Warrior as a reward in Parallel Quest 37: "Potara Warrior".^[2]

In Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle, Super Vegito uses the Split Finger Shot as his counterattack.

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Split Finger Shot returns as one of Vegito's Super Skills which can be obtained by the Future Warrior by purchasing it from the Skill Shop after completing the Resurrection ‘F’ portion of the main story.^[3]
