Saturday Crush (サタデークラッシュ) is an energy sphere attack used by Raditz.
Overview
Raditz fires the attack in the manga
Raditz holds his right hand high in the air and forms a pink energy sphere that he fires off at the opponent, inflicting a great amount of damage.
Raditz used this attack during his battle with Goku and Piccolo. While Piccolo charged his Special Beam Cannon, Goku fired a Bending Kamehameha down at Raditz. Raditz, however, neutralized the blast with his own ki and then fired the Saturday Crush up at Goku, striking him down to the ground.
