Future Trunks performs a series of rapid arm movements before placing his palms forward with the thumbs and index fingers touching each other to form a small diamond shape. He then fires a sphere of energy from his palms towards his opponent. This attack can be used with one hand, as he has demonstrated while using his sword in his other hand.

Tenkaichi series and other video games
The Burning Attack has been seen in various video games and almost always accompanying Future Trunks, such as Dragon Ball Z: Sūpā Butōden 2 and the Budokai Tenkaichi video game series. Trunks is also seen using this attack to help defeat Hatchiyack in one of the endings of the Saiya-jin Zetsumetsu Keikaku video games, although it is blue in color.

Dragon Ball Online
The Burning Attack also made its debut as the first offensive technique performed by Time Patrol Trunks Brief in Dragon Ball Online. When Time Patrol Trunks used the attack in a cinematic cut of the player's tutorial, he performed the traditional series of rapid arm movements and stance, however, the color (blue) and power differ because he performed it in his base form.
