Merry-Go-Round Gum (グルグルガム Gurugurugamu)[2] is an ability used by the Giras.
Overview[]
The user shoots a tough, sticky and gooey gum like substance out of their mouth towards their target which wraps around them. Giran states that the gum is so strong that not even he can break it and the more the victim struggles, the tighter the gum gets. However, if a victim is strong enough, they can possibly break out of it.
Usage[]
In the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament, Giran uses it on Goku, who breaks free.[3]
Also, Goku easily destroys a dam made of Merry-Go-Round Gum with a powerful Kamehameha.[4]
Giran uses it on Tambourine, who easily breaks free.[5]
Video Game Appearances[]
In Xenoverse 2, it is named Go-Go Gum and can be purchased by the Future Warrior at the Skill Shop after defeating Kid Buu in the main story. Most of the Future Warrior's voice options will refer to the technique as Merry-Go-Round Gum when performing it. It should be noted that originally bound opponents were left wide open by the attack, though eventually the skill was patched via an update so that the gum only binds the opponent inflicting damage as they struggle. Its in-game description was even modified to reflect this change so that it no longer mentions that a bound opponent will be wide open to attack as while being bound by the attack the opponent becomes immune to any damage beyond that inflicted Go-Go Gum itself.
