Spirit Sword (スピリッツソード) is a blade-shaped energy wave technique used by Vegito in his Super Saiyan form.
Overview
Spirit Sword in the manga
Vegito charges condensed energy in his right hand and forms into a sword-like blast that can be controlled to become longer or shorter. Because this sword is created by a single usage of energy and can continue to be used without dying out, it is one of Vegito's most devastating attacks.
Vegito uses this attack twice during his battle against Super Buu (w/ Gohan absorbed). Vegito catches Super Buu in the stomach upside down, but Super Buu manages to regenerate himself out of the Spirit Sword. Vegito uses the attack again to impale Super Buu's mouth, but the Majin regenerates again.
Appearances in Video Games
This technique is named Beam Sword Slash in the Butōden series, and Energy Sword (エネルギー手刀) in Dragon Ball Z: Buu's Fury (it is chargeable and Vegito swings it around him after releasing it). It is also used in Dragon Ball Z: The Legend.

The technique in Dragon Ball Z: The Legend
It was named Spirit Sword in the Budokai series and Dragon Ball Heroes (also used by the players' avatar). In Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai, Vegito can use this move in his base form and when he does, he fires it more like an energy blast than a sword slash.
The technique is named Beam Sword Slash in the Budokai Tenkaichi series and the Raging Blast games: it is Super Vegito's Ultimate Blast in Budokai Tenkaichi 1 and Budokai Tenkaichi 2, and one of his Blast 2 attacks in Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and the Raging Blast games.
Variations
- Spirit Cannon – The Energy Spear version of the Spirit Sword.
- Super Bajit Sword – The team attack version used in the video game Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2, where the sword-like blast is blue.
Trivia
- In the Yu Yu Hakusho series, Kazuma Kuwabara uses a technique identical to this one, whose name also is Spirit Sword (霊剣, Rei Ken).
