Energy Blade is a sword technique used by several fighters by forming ki into a piercing energy blade around their hand.

Overview

The Salza Blade greatly resembles a lightsaber from the Star Wars universe, both in its inception, appearance, light emitted, and crackling sounds made.

Salza attacks Piccolo with the Salza Blade

Salza attempts to use his Salza Blade (サウザーブレード; Sauzā Burēdo) attack against Piccolo and manages to hold his own with this technique, forcing the powerful Namekian onto the defensive for a while. Salza slices through trees with equal finesse and ease while attempting to slice Piccolo. However, Piccolo dodges all of Salza's attacks. Piccolo eventually manages to grab the arm containing his attack and shorts it out, prompting a shocked Salza to ask who Piccolo is before Piccolo kicks him upward.

The different incarnations of Zamasu all use an Energy Blade variant - God Split Cut - as their primary technique.

Future Trunks uses a variant of this technique during the battle with Fusion Zamasu, generating a blade of ki from the hilt of his broken sword rather than his hand[7].

Variations

Appearances in games

Cooler himself is given this technique, named Sauzer Blade, as one of his special attacks in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World, and the Dragon Ball Collectible Card Game, despite it never being used by him in movies.

The Salza Blade technique appears used by Salza as his Ultimate Blast in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2, and Dragon Ball Heroes. It is also the attack Salza performs when Cooler summons him in Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2. In Raging Blast 2, Salza also uses weaker version of the Salza Blade as his signature technique: the "Energy Blade".

This technique is one of Jeice's super skills, under the name Sauzer Blade in Dragon Ball: Xenoverse. The Future Warrior can also obtain the skill through Parallel Quest 10: "Defeat Frieza's Army!"[2]

In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, this technique returns as one of Jeice's Super Skills and can be obtained by the Future Warrior (Xenoverse 2) as a reward in Parallel Quest 27: "Metal Cooler Riot". In order to unlock this Parallel Quest, the Future Warrior must speak to Metal Cooler in the Mushroom Desert portion of Conton City. Goku Black's version also appears as a Super Skill under the name Aura Slide.[3]
