Notes about "Ki" |
You'll see the word "ki" again and again in this list, and in case you're not too familiar with the concept, I'll try to explain it here and hopefully clear things up. "Ki" is a Japanese concept that is very difficult to exactly explain in English. It is somewhat of a personal energy/life force, although I think it goes beyond that; I'm not going to try to explain further, partially because I don't completely understand myself. :) In any case, in the DB/DBZ series, ki plays a very large role, most notably that is the source of energy that is used to produce those gigantic energy blasts, and is what allows the characters to fly. The characters also learn to "sense" ki, so that they can roughly tell how powerful someone is, who they are, where they are, whether or not they are hurt or dying, whether they are good or evil, etc. So if you see "ki attack" or "ki technique," it is a technique that is used with ki rather than physical techniques like special punches or kicks, etc.
Ki: Means energy. It is the internal energy you generate when you attack something.
Ki-ai: The shout made when focusing the Ki.
Ha: In the following attacks, 'ha' appears in the name occasionally. While 'ha' can translate to 'wave', it is also ki-ai people make when focusing their bodies on an attack. Usually, 'ha' doesn't really have meaning, it's just a loud sound made when your fighting.
Ken: This can mean either 'fist' or 'technique.' As in Hokuto no. Ken: It can mean "Fist of the North star" or "North star Techniques

Akumaitokosen: This is a special energy wave designed explicitly for a quick kill of one's opponent. When the wave strikes its victim, the evil in his heart expands and causes his heart to explode. Of course, the victim then must have some evil in his heart for the attack to work.
Bakuhatsuha: By raising two fingers, the user of this attack can create a large explosion that will totally decimate the surrounding area or the ground under an opponent.
Bakurikimaha: An ultimate ki attack, this is an extremely powerful ki blast shot from one hand, the other gripping the shooting hand's wrist for support.
Barrier: This purely defensive technique forms a Ki-shield around the body that protects the user from Ki or similar attacks. There are two forms of this maneuver. One is a spherical shield that surrounds the body, the other is more of a coating of the body.
Big Bang Attack: Big Bang attack is a huge ki bolt of incredible destructive power. The person holds one flat palm forward towards his enemy and launches the bolt.
Body Change: This technique is used by the leader of the Ginyu-tokusentai, Ginyu. Ginyu spreads his limbs out, shouts "Change!" and shoots out a bolt of energy, and if it hits its target, Ginyu changes bodies with that person. Ginyu then gains the strength and speed of his target, but not his special techniques or ki. After changing bodies, Ginyu can still do a Body Change. Ginyu will change bodies with the first person to hit his change beam, and thus if someone gets in the way of his intended target, Ginyu will change bodies with that person instead.
Bukujutsu: The ability to fly with one's ki.
Burning Attack: A powerful energy blast shot from both hands. It is done when holding both hands forward, while doing some strange arm moves, and then put both hands forward again, index fingers and thumbs touching. Then release the blast.

The Fusion lasts for 30 minutes before the fused person becomes two again.
Fusenko: You draw in your breath while falling down, puffing yourself up and slowing your fall.

Mafuba: It is a swirling blast of energy shot at the intended demon. Once caught in the blast, the blast is directed into a jar, bottle, or other imprisonment container, thus imprisoning said demon. However, if the container is opened, whoever is trapped inside will be freed.
Makankosappo: A penetrating blast shot from two fingers. It is actually two blasts, one going straight ahead and the other coiling around the first for drilling power. This attack drills through everything it hits, and eventually blows up when it hits something big enough.
Makosen: It gathers Ki into both of your arms, then fires a blast from each one after the other.
