"This is gonna be a lot of fun for me."
Nappa in "The Darkest Day"

Volcano Explosion (クンッ Kun)[12][13][14] is a technique used by Nappa.

Overview[]

Nappa rises his right hand with his index and middle fingers up, releasing a white Exploding Wave.

Usage[]

In the anime, Nappa uses this technique to wipe out all of King Moai's guards on Arlia.[15] He later uses the Volcano Explosion to destroy East City as the first thing he does when he arrives on Earth with Vegeta.[16] Later that day, in the anime, Nappa uses the technique to destroy a city out of boredom during the three hours wait for Goku. However, in this case, the attack seems to invert gravity and leave the victims in suspended animation, or at least painfully being destroyed, before the attack destroys everything.[17] A little later, in the anime, he uses this technique against Goku.[18]

Frieza somewhat references Nappa's use of this technique after performing his Death Storm, by stating that it was nothing, as even Saiyans could do it (as both techniques are Exploding Waves).[19]

  • Flame Pillar - A stronger version used by Nappa and Natz as a Special Move in Dragon Ball Fusions.
  • DUAL Giant Storm - A team attack version that appears as Nappa's Dual Ultimate Skill which he teaches to the Future Warrior in Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 after the 1.09.00 Update. It was developed by Nappa after noticing how he and the warrior's ability to work together had reached a new peak lately and decides they should combine their attacks together resulting in this two-person team attack.
