Overview

Dbz73-23 — Vegeta double kicks Ginyu in Goku's body up into the air

First, Vegeta dodges the opponent's punch and lays on the ground to double kick them up into the air. Then, he backflips up onto his feet and flies up into the air above the opponent. Finally, Vegeta knocks the opponent down to the ground with a Double Axe Handle, inflicting a high amount of damage.

Vegeta uses this attack during his battle against Captain Ginyu, while Ginyu is in Goku's body. He later uses it again during his battle against Android 19; when Android 19 attacks Vegeta with a barrage of punches and a final headbutt, the Saiyan prince is unfazed and retaliates by smashing Android 19 across the ground with three powerful attacks. Android 19 attempts a surprise attack, but Vegeta dodges it and counters with the "Amazing Impact" rush (while dodging Android 19's attacks in the air), knocking the Android down into the ground and creating a huge crater.

Appearances in games

VBT311 — Amazing Impact in *Budokai Tenkaichi 3*

Amazing Impact was named in the Budokai Tenkaichi video game series, where it is one of Vegeta's Blast 2 attacks in his Super Saiyan form. The attack is performed differently in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Tenkaichi Tag Team, and the Raging Blast games. The appearance of this attack in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 was taken from the first part of the rush Vegeta uses against Captain Ginyu after Ginyu returned to his original body.

Vegeta also uses dropkick part the technique in Dragon Ball Z: W Bakuretsu Impact and Dragon Ball Heroes.

In Dragon Ball: Xenoverse, Vegeta will automatically perform the maneuver as his preset combo.
