Thunder Shock Surprise (萬國驚天掌; lit. "Man-land Surprising Heaven Palm") is one of Master Roshi/Jackie Chun's most powerful attacks. The user shoots a lightning blast towards the target using both hands, and traps the opponent within an electric field. According to Yamcha in the English dub, this technique turns all the energy in the user's body into 20,000 volts of electricity. This attack is named after a 1967 Japanese variety show "Bankoku Bikkuri Show".
Overview
The attack is extremely lethal and dangerous, and as such, Roshi prefers not to use it. Normally, the opponent cannot escape; however, Goku, was able to escape by transforming into a Great Ape at the sight of the full moon. Before using it against Goku, Master Roshi had only needed to use the attack once before while sparring with Grandpa Gohan.
Piccolo uses a very similar move against Great Ape Gohan when the latter is going crazy from his transformation into a Great Ape.[4][5]
Appearances in Video Games
The technique is one of Roshi's super attacks in the Butōden video game series, his special attack in Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure, and his Ultimate Blast in his base form in the Budokai Tenkaichi series. In the Budokai Tenkaichi series, it is named Mankoku Kyoutenshou, and screamed out by Roshi as "Lightning Surprise".
The attack is used by Master Roshi (as both Jackie Chun and himself) and by Grandpa Gohan during the boss fights against them in Dragon Ball: Origins. It is Jackie Chun's super attack in Dragon Ball Heroes.
Named Turtle Style Last Resort, it is used by Jackie Chun during the first boss battle of Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans.
