Spirit Shot (双龍弾) is an energy technique in which the user fires a blast of energy at the target. It is a version of the Kiai blast used by Goku.

OverviewEdit

Goku crosses his forearms out in front of him, then throws his arms out creating an enormous force that blows his opponents away.

Goku initially uses it in his battle against Jeice and Burter on Namek. After the Purple Comet Hurricane fails, Goku lands a hard blow in Jeice's face. When Jeice and Burter begin to retaliate, Goku blasts them both away with Spirit Shot before they can ready their attack. The attack does not cause them any damage but thoroughly humiliates the pair and prevents them from attacking Goku. Goku later uses this technique on Earth against Cooler's Armored Squadron in the movie Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge.

Appearances in Video GamesEdit

The technique is used in the Budokai video game series: it is named Ki Blast Cannon in Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World, Spirit Shot in Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai, as well as Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit and Dragonball Evolution: The Game, and Kiai-hō (気合砲) in Dragon Ball Heroes.

It is a normal Kiai technique used by Goku in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, the Raging Blast games, Dragon Ball: Zenkai Battle Royale, and Dragon Ball: Tap Battle.

Future Trunks uses a technique very similar, called Aura Saber (オーラセイバー), in the arcade game Dragon Ball Z 2: Super Battle.
