Revision as of 22:27, 10 May 2018
Directory: Techniques → Supportive Techniques
Telepathy (テレパシー Terepashī[1]) is a technique used by several characters throughout the Dragon Ball series.
Overview
It is a way to communicate with others using one's mind. Users can also read the minds of the ones they communicate with, similar to telepathic eavesdropping.
The ability to communicate telepathically does not seem to be hindered by time dilation, as Piccolo is able to talk to Goten and Trunks while they are in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber during the Fusion Saga, despite him being outside of it.
When Slug used it on Bulma, she seemed to become dazed and confused while he was searching her memories.
Mind reading notably has some difficulty being effectively used against people who have low intelligence. This is best demonstrated when Korin attempted to use his telepathy to read Maron's next moves in a Poker game, only to fail as "[Korin] has seen party balloons with more on their mind [than with Maron]."
Usage
King Piccolo using telepathy
Telepathy was first used in the series when Master Roshi reads the mind of Nam during the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament, thus learning of Nam's desperate search for water.
It is used by members of Master Shen's Crane School to communicate with each other during the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, and then by King Piccolo to communicate with his offspring.
Grand Elder Guru telepathically talking to King Kai
King Kai is possibly one of the most famous users of this technique, as he is able to speak with people all across the universe and countless people at one time, something the Supreme Kais thought was impossible. It can be assumed that he taught it to Goku while he trained with him in Other World, as Goku uses this to stop Krillin from finishing Vegeta after their battle on Earth.
Piccolo uses telepathy several times to communicate with Gohan. He also used to communicate Goten and Trunks, who were in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber during the Fusion Saga.
It was also used by Shin to read the mind of Piccolo while the two were facing each other at the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament.

In Dragon Ball FighterZ, Piccolo uses it to read Bulma's mind from afar to learn about the situation while recovering aboard her ship being saved by Goku and Krillin. Krillin attributes his skill with the technique due to his fusion with Kami, stating that Kami was an old hat when it came to reading minds.[2]
