Seismic Power[1] is an Explosive Wave used by Broly and Kale in their Legendary Super Saiyan forms.

Overview[]

While transforming into a Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly powers up to such a degree that his screams and laughter cause an earthquake as well as a thunderstorm to appear. His body also ends up ripping apart from the face down as his ki glows intensely before violently exploding and causing a shock wave, resulting in three waves being emitted that alter the color of the environment before returning to normal.

Usage[]

In Dragon Ball Super, Kale uses a slightly different variant when assuming her berserker state.

Film Appearances[]

In Dragon Ball Z: Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly utilizes this technique successfully the following day to his encounter with Goku, shortly after Super Saiyan Vegeta's Photon Bomber failed to kill or even injure him. The power-up is enough to create an earthquake that causes some damage to the winding path between Paragus' Spaceship and castle. Thunder comes down while Super Saiyan A-type Broly enters a state of hysteria and transforms into a Legendary Super Saiyan.

In Dragon Ball Z: Broly - Second Coming, Broly used this to transform into a Legendary Super Saiyan again when confronting Gohan on Earth seven years later, as the latter had transformed into a Super Saiyan 2.

In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Broly ends up using the ability while forcibly undergoing his transformation into a Super Saiyan as a result of seeing his father's corpse. His variant was slightly different from that used by the original Broly, as the three waves were utilized before Broly formally transformed, and instead of his entire body shattering apart, only his eyes proceeded to shatter into blankness.

Video Game Appearances[]

Seismic Power was named in Taiketsu, where it is one of Broly's super attacks.

In Supersonic Warriors 2, Seismic Power was used in the intro animation for Broly when starting a match.

In Dokkan Battle, Seismic Power occurs in a transformation sequence for Nightmarish Impact Super Saiyan Broly.

Trivia[]

  • It is implied that Broly was attempting to use this technique to turn into the Legendary Super Saiyan during his fight with Goku late at night, although it was prematurely interrupted when his father Paragus barely managed to reassert control over him via his crown.
  • Although Bio-Broly was not known to have used this power up to turn into the Legendary Super Saiyan, it was implied that his version of the transformation nevertheless had meteorological effects due to it becoming overcast during the late stages of the film.
  • A similar effect to Seismic Power was seen when Bardock became a Super Saiyan.
