Dashing Punch is a rush attack used by Broly in his Super Saiyan form. It is sometimes included as part of his Revenge Demon technique.
Overview
Upon assuming a semi-crucified pose while levitating, also utilizing either an aura or his energy shield, Broly attacks the opponent by rushing at them at high speed to land a punch.
Bio-Broly strikes Android 18 with a Dashing Punch
Broly uses this attack in retaliation for being knocked into a lake on New Planet Vegeta during his rage-induced battle against Goku late at night. However, Goku manages to kick Broly in the face in self-defense, which, outside of slightly bloodying his mouth, did not faze him at all and he continued the fight.
On Earth seven years later, after bursting out of his icy tomb, he uses the attack on Videl at Natade Village in response to Videl telling him off for recklessly endangering innocents in the vicinity. Videl barely manages to dodge his punch, with Broly proceeding to smirk at her, intimidating her before she is caught in a grapple and thrown. Shortly thereafter, he incorporates the Dashing Punch into the Revenge Demon technique he uses against Goten and Trunks, upon becoming infuriated at the former's presence and resemblance to Goku.
