The Bang Beam (バン ビーム, Ban Biimu) is an energy beam attack used by Vegeta.

Usage

Vegeta holds out his hand with his index finger pointing outward and his thumb pointing up like a child pretending to have a gun. He then utters, "Bang!" and a red, lightning fast bullet emits from his finger and strikes his opponent with deadly force.
