Changes: Spirit Bomb

Revision as of 17:00, 3 August 2019

This article is about Goku's ultimate attack. For the attack used by Yamcha, see Spirit Ball. Directory: Techniques → Offensive Techniques → Energy Sphere

"Remember that the Spirit Bomb is a martial arts discipline that allows you to borrow energy from grass and trees, from people and animals, from inanimate objects and the atmosphere... And then to concentrate them and release them. If you can draw so much destructive power from a ball made on this small planet... ...Imagine what you can do with a Spirit Bomb formed on Earth! If you can also learn to tap into the astounding powers of the Sun... Well. Just be careful. Or you may destroy the very planet you're trying to protect!"
— King Kai, in "Closer... Closer..."

Future Trunks is the first person to create a Spirit Bomb unconsciously indicating that it is possible for someone to gather energy necessary to create one without having to train under King Kai or Goku indicating the possibility that other beings may have developed the ability to use the Spirit Bomb on their own.
- This may also explain the development of similar techniques such as Baby's Revenge Death Ball which allows him to collect energy from his Tufflized slaves in a manner similar to the Spirit Bomb.
Counting the Spirit Bomb used in Dragon Ball Z: The Real 4-D, Frieza is the only villain in the series to have been on the receiving end of Goku's Spirit Bomb twice, as he barely manages to survive Goku's Large Spirit Bomb on Namek in the anime and manga. In The Real 4-D, Goku uses the Spirit Bomb on Frieza again though unlike the Large Spirit Bomb it is powerful enough to overpower and kill Frieza (who had a power level of five point three billion).
Jiren is the only being so far that has been able to successfully both survive and repel the Spirit Bomb, with the only other beings to survive being Vegeta (although in this case, the spirit bomb was at only a fraction of its original power) and Frieza (who himself noted after surviving that that the Large Spirit Bomb almost killed him).

 The {{nihongo|'''Spirit Bomb'''|{{ruby|元|げん}}{{ruby|気|き}}{{ruby|玉|だま}}|''Genki-dama''|lit. "Energy Sphere"}} is a powerful attack invented by [[King Kai]]. It is among the strongest attacks in the ''[[Dragon Ball (franchise)|Dragon Ball]]'' series, but its strength depends on the number of organisms supporting its use. In the manga, it is used only a total of four times.
