The Universal Spirit Bomb (全世界の元気玉, Zensekai no Genki Dama ; Literally meaning "Universal Spirit Ball") is the final and most powerful version of the Spirit Bomb used by Goku. It draws its phenomenal power from energy sources across the whole universe. It was used as a final attack to defeat Omega Shenron.
After Goku and Vegeta lost both their fusion into Gogeta as well as their Super Saiyan 4 transformations, the battle against Omega Shenron seemed hopeless. However, as Omega was about to kill the Z-Fighters, Goku, who was thought to have been killed while trying to stop an energy ball from destroying the Earth, rises up from a crater and prepares the Spirit Bomb with the all the energy of the people on Earth. Even so, it is still not powerful enough to defeat Omega Shenron.
However, thanks to the help of King Kai, along with the other Kais, Goku is able to ask every person in the universe to donate their energy to the Spirit Bomb, thus creating the Universal Spirit Bomb. With the attack complete, Goku launches the Universal Spirit Bomb against Omega Shenron, completely destroying the Shadow Dragon and moving it upward into the sky where it finally bursts into a massive, black explosion. With all of the Shadow Dragons finally defeated, the Dragon Balls are restored to their normal states.
The attack is seen in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, where it is Goku (GT)'s Ultimate Blast, under the name, "Spirit Bomb." While it is the largest and strongest version out of all the other Spirit Bombs in the anime, however, it is the smallest version in the video game, possibly due to Goku's stature as a child.
The attack also appeared in Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World as Goku (GT)'s Ultimate Attack. However, just like Budokai Tenkaichi 3, the attack's name is changed to, "Spirit Bomb". It is not the strongest of the Spirit Bombs in this game, due to its usage only being available to his base form. It also appears in a cutscene in which Goku uses it to defeat Omega Shenron.
It should be noted that, in one of GT's infamous plot holes, while Goku is gathering energy for the bomb, he was immune to Omega's attacks. He was not in his Super Saiyan form, which means that you can rule out some of the energy from the bomb going into his body.
