Kiai Defibrillation is a variant of a standard Kiai designed to resuscitate someone whose heart has stopped beating.
Overview[]
This is performed by placing one or both hands over the target's chest and performing chest compressions while releasing Kiai or weak energy blasts directly at the target.
Usage[]
Piccolo attempts this on Goku, who had just been killed by Hit's Time Release. However, Piccolo stops as he senses the Ki Blast Goku fired before his death.[1] He likewise uses it on Gohan after bringing him on the verge of death via a chokehold during their training.[2]
In the Tournament of Power, Goku uses a Super Saiyan Blue-empowered, godly ki infused version of the technique on Master Roshi after he is incapacitated after defeating Ganos.[3]
Film Appearances[]
In Dragonball Evolution, Roshi uses the Kamehameha to revive Goku, who was shot and mortally wounded by a shape shifting Mai.
In Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’, Piccolo uses it to revive Gohan after he is critically wounded by Frieza.
