Dragon Thunder is a technique used by Rage Shenron (5 Star Dragon) and Omega Shenron during the Shadow Dragon Saga in Dragon Ball GT. This attack is first used by the Giant Rage Shenron on Goku, stunning Goku fairly well. He also later used it briefly on Super Saiyan 4 Goku but to no effect. This same attack is used on SSJ4 Goku by Omega Shenron except it is shot down from the sky as a lightning bolt which sends the air-born Goku crashing down like a lightning bolt, but still not affecting him that much. In Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 and Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World this attack is simply Omega Shenron calling down thunder from the sky just like the first time he used it on Super Saiyan 4 Goku (Surpassed Limits).
Omega Shenron also uses this attack in a painful variation on Vegeta, where he extends his spikes long enough to stab Vegeta in the left shoulder and electrocutes him and nearly killing him. This is used as his Rush attack in Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and Budokai Tenkaichi 3 but unlike in the series the spikes impale the opponent on more than just one shoulder.
[edit] Trivia
- In the English Dub of Dragon Ball GT this attack is called "Dragon Thunder Clap" when used by Rage Shenron and the first time against Omega Shenron but the only time Omega Shenron uses this technique he only says "Dragon Thunder" but adds the addition of impaling his victim.
