Super Spirit Bomb

"And now, as for you, Buu?! Well... I'M SENDING YOU TO HELL!"
— Goku in "You Are the Savior of the World! Everybody's Spirit Bomb Completed!"

Super Spirit Bomb (超元気玉, Sūpā Genki-dama, lit. "Super Energy Sphere")^[5] is a larger and more powerful version of the Spirit Bomb used by Goku.

Overview[]

Unlike the normal Spirit Bomb that absorbs power from the surroundings and environment, this is directly powered by the energy of the living beings and Goku needs them to raise their hands to accumulate their energy. It was first used with the energy of the newly revived planet Earth, Other World, New Namek, and the rest of the surviving planets of the sector, to be used as a final attack to defeat Kid Buu on the Sacred World of the Kai.

Usage[]

After Goku's Super Saiyan 3 power diminishes because of his exhaustion from the intense fight with Kid Buu, Vegeta orchestrates a plan to create a Spirit Bomb strong enough to destroy Kid Buu. The plan is to restore the then destroyed Earth and to resurrect everyone on the planet, so that every person can give their energy to the Spirit Bomb. The Dragon Team hear Goku's and Vegeta's voices and give their energy to the Spirit Bomb. However, the people of Earth are less willing to cooperate, due to their doubts about the voices except for old allies. Mr. Satan finally steps in to convince the people to give their energy to Goku so he can destroy Kid Buu. With Mr. Satan's encouragement and thinking he's the one fighting Buu, all of the people of Earth give their energy to the Spirit Bomb, making the Super Spirit Bomb. When Kid Buu uses Vegeta as a human shield to prevent Goku from launching the attack, Good Buu tackles Kid Buu out of the way and sends his Planet Burst reeling off-course, allowing Mr. Satan to step in and carry Vegeta out of harm's way. After remarking that Mr. Satan might be the hero of the world after all, Goku finally brings the Super Spirit Bomb crashing down on Kid Buu.

However, Kid Buu is strong enough to stop the attack and strong enough to push it back at Goku being too exhausted to stop it. Dende then uses Porunga's last wish to restore Goku's strength back to normal. With his strength back, Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan and pushes the Super Spirit Bomb back at Kid Buu. After several moments reflecting over the events that led to this moment and wishing he would come back as a better person so they can fight again, Goku destroys Kid Buu once and for all.

Variations[]

Universe 7's Spirit Bomb - A powerful version of the Super Spirit Bomb used by Goku in the Tournament of Power.

XN - Future Warrior helps Goku's Spirit Bomb — Goku and the Future Warrior's DUAL Super Spirit Bomb

DUAL Super Spirit Bomb - A more powerful team attack variation of the Super Spirit Bomb used by Goku and the Future Warrior in Dragon Ball Xenoverse. During the final struggle with Villainous Mode Kid Buu, as Kid Buu is pushing back the Super Spirit Bomb Goku created from the energy of the revived people of Earth, Z-Fighters, the Namekians, and citizens of Other World, the Future Warrior appears to lend a hand and adds some of their power to it as well before working in tandem with Goku to giving this more powerful Super Spirit Bomb one final push that ends up destroying Dark Kid Buu completely. Named in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, where it appears as GT Goku's Dual Ultimate Skill which can be purchased by the Future Warrior at the TP Medal Skill Shop & can be unlocked for GT Goku's custom skill via purchasing it in Partner Customization. If initiated by the Future Warrior/Conton City Hero, the Future Warrior/Toki Toki City Hero can join in when the two are teamed up in the story. In Dragon Ball Heroes, Akina and Goku perform this technique by combining the two Spirit Bombs they created.

Video Game Appearances[]

In Hyper Dimension, Goku uses the Super Spirit Bomb to end his Meteor Attack.

In Buu's Fury, Goku uses it as part of the story where the player has to push it at Kid Buu after it is formed.

In Budokai 3, Infinite World, and Budokai HD Collection, instead of pushing the Super Spirit Bomb, he launches a one-handed wave attack (similar to the Angry Kamehameha).

In Supersonic Warriors 2, it appears as a Team Super Attack, inflicting great damage, depending on the Dragon Power of the foe the player is facing (if the damage is set to Extra-Heavy in the options menu, the attack can result in a one-hit knockout).

In Shin Budokai - Another Road, Goku can use this Spirit Bomb where he can turn into a Super Saiyan 2 or a Super Saiyan 3 while using it to make it stronger. He uses an ultimate Spirit Bomb in one of the game's two possible finales; it is made from energy of the people of Earth, Heaven, Hell, and other planets in order to defeat Future Kid Buu.

In Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and the Raging Blast series, when Goku uses this attack and it successfully hits the opponent, he transforms into a Super Saiyan, says "I hope you come back someday. See you later!" and blows up the Super Spirit Bomb (whereas the anime has Goku pushing the Spirit Bomb before recovering his power).

In Raging Blast 2, if two players were to use the move, it would show a big blast of blinding light; the attack can only be used by equipping the item "Everyone's Spirit", which turns the small Spirit Bomb into this one. The move cannot be blocked, and so the only way is to use an Afterimage Technique or just avoid it. It is harder to avoid it because of its enormous size. When it hits, Goku turns into Super Saiyan and says to the foe that he is tough, then he says, "See ya" and thrusts his arm forward, making the bomb explode, dealing lots of damage. It is somewhat homing but will home in for a short distance.

In J-Stars Victory Vs, it is Goku's Ultimate Attack (or Super Sure-Killing Art/Super Move in the Japanese version). Goku always reverts back to base form to perform it, and if it lands on either an ally or enemy (even if it doesn't connect cleanly), it transitions into an extra cinematic where Goku turns Super Saiyan to force more energy into the Spirit Bomb, making the explosion larger. While Goku's ally can be hit by the attack, they take no damage from it nor does it add up any hit counts while also being completely unblockable.

In Dokkan Battle, it is Goku's Standby Finish Attack.

In Xenoverse, it is one of Goku's Ultimate Skills. As part of the GT Pack 1 DLC, the Future Warrior can obtain this skill as a reward in DLC Parallel Quest Event: "Small But Strong!". Also, in the DLC there is a GT Goku Z-Soul called "Citizens of the Universe, lend me your energy!" which greatly increases the power of the Super Spirit Bomb and prevents the user from taking damage while the Super Spirit Bomb is being performed, which is a reference to GT Goku's Super Ultra Spirit Bomb.

In Xenoverse 2, it returns as one of Goku's Ultimate Skills and can be used by Cell (Full Power) and it can be added to Cell (Perfect)'s custom skillset. It can be obtained by the Future Warrior as a random reward in Expert Mission 16: "In the Realm of the Gods: Vegeta". During the main story, the Future Warrior and Vegeta buy time holding off Kid Buu•Supervillain for Goku to complete the Super Spirit Bomb with the assistance of Mr. Satan in getting the people of Earth to give their energy. Vegeta manages to get out of the way on his own and Goku is able to throw the Super Spirit Bomb and kills Kid Buu•Supervillain after turning into a Super Saiyan similar to the original history even wishing Buu comes back as a good person. GT Goku's Super Soul "This thing carries hopes of everyone on Earth!" when using Super Spirit Bomb temporarily boosts Ki Blast Skills by a large amount and during Super Spirit Bomb activates Health Auto-Recovery Mode, a reference to GT Goku's ability to endure attacks while preparing the Super Ultra Spirit Bomb.

In FighterZ, it appears as Super Saiyan Goku's Dramatic Finish when Kid Buu is KO'd as the final opponent on the Planet of the Kais stage with a neutral heavy attack causing a reenactment of Kid Buu's death via Super Spirit Bomb to occur. During the Android 21 Arc, Goku resorts to using a Super Spirit Bomb to defeat Android 21 (Evil) with the soul linked Android 21 (Good) holding off her evil counterpart while Goku gathers the energy. Fearing she will one day lose control of her hunger Good 21 entrusts the human soul to Android 18 before grabbing her counterpart and holding her down so she can't escape the Super Spirit Bomb while ensuring she herself is also destroyed.
