Usage

First, Legendary Super Saiyan Broly strikes his opponent down with a massive clothesline. Next, he grabs his opponent by their shoulders and picks them up to vertical kick them up into the air. Next, he teleports in front of his opponent as he grabs them by their head and flies down to smash them across the ground. Finally, Legendary Super Saiyan Broly picks up his opponent by their head and uppercuts them to knock them away up into the air, inflicting a huge amount of damage.

History

Legendary Super Saiyan Broly used parts of this attack in his battles against Son Goku in Dragon Ball Z: Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan. While fighting against Legendary Super Saiyan Broly on New Planet Vegeta, Goku kneed Legendary Super Saiyan Broly in the chin. Legendary Super Saiyan Broly was unaffected, however, and attacked Goku with the Gigantic Hammer rush's shoulder grab and vertical kick, kicking him up into a cliff. Later, after easily withstanding Goku's Super Kamehameha, Legendary Super Saiyan Broly attacked Goku with the Gigantic Hammer rush's head grab and stomach punch, injuring and temporarily knocking him out of the fight.

Legendary Super Saiyan Broly also used part of this attack, the Gigantic Spike, during his battle against Son Gohan in Dragon Ball Z: Broly: Second Coming. Gohan flew up to punch Legendary Super Saiyan Broly, but he was unaffected and attacked Gohan with the Gigantic Hammer rush's head smash, smashing him into the ground and causing the ground to collapse.
