OverviewEdit

When the opponent fires a couple of ki blasts, the user waves a single hand and slaps the ki blasts away, being free from harm.

Gohan reflects the Fusion Spirit Bomb thrown by Krillin towards Vegeta. On Namek, Goku uses it to deflect Jeice's Crusher Ball, and later to deflect Captain Ginyu's energy blasts. After being beaten by Gohan, Frieza gathers enough strength at the last minute to throw the Full Power Masenko back at Gohan. Goku deflects Frieza's Death Beam and Barrage Death Beam. Vegeta uses the technique to deflect a blast from Frieza. During the battle, in his final form, Frieza is able to decflect Vegeta's Final Burst Cannon with a kick.

Salza is shown deflecting Piccolo's Chasing Bullet, and later he deflects Krillin's Homing Energy Wave. Goku knocks Hatchiyack's second Revenger Cannon away from Gohan. Piccolo and later Super Saiyan 2 Gohan use the techique to deflect Cell's Special Beam Cannon. On New Namek, Gohan deflects a blast from a Cyclopian Guard in order to save a Namekian warrior and Super Saiyan Goku deflects Meta-Cooler's Finger Blitz Barrage. In the anime, a Cell Jr. is shown easily dispatching the Final Flash Vegeta fired at him.

Dabura uses this technique for deflecting the Gohan's Twin Dragon Shot in the anime. Super Saiyan 3 Goku deflects Majin Buu's ki blasts. Ultimate Gohan bounces an energy blast from Super Buu, and Vegito manages to catch Super Buu's one-handed Destroy Everything! sphere and kicks it back up into the air. In Supreme Kai's flashback, Kid Buu kicks Western Supreme Kai's Full Power Energy Ball away.^[3] Kid Buu manages to deflect Goku's True Kamehameha during their fight, although at the expense of his left arm and right hand.^[4] Two years after Kid Buu's defeat, during their battle, Gotenks deflects bullets of Aka's Super Wahaha no Ha attack to protect Tarble and Gure.^[5]

In his first appearance in the series, Ledgic deflects the Kamehameha that Goku fired at Gale and Sheela. Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta is able to channel some of his positive energy into Omega Shenron's Negative Karma Ball and kicks it up into space.
