Finally, Super Saiyan Vegeta knocks his opponent down to the ground with a Double Axe Handle, inflicting a high amount of damage.

History

Anime

Super Saiyan Vegeta used this attack in his battle against Artificial Human No. 19. When No. 19 attacked Super Saiyan Vegeta with a barrage of punches and a head butt, the Saiyan prince was unfazed and retaliated by smashing No. 19 across the ground with three powerful attacks. No. 19 attempted a surprise attack, but Super Saiyan Vegeta dodged it and countered with the Amazing Impact rush (while dodging No. 19's attacks in the air), knocking the Artificial Human down into the ground and creating a huge crater.

Video games

Amazing Impact is named in the Buodkai Tenkaichi video game series and is one of Vegeta's Blast 2 attacks in his Super Saiyan form.

It later appeared in Dragon Ball: Raging Blast.

The attack is performed differently in each video game.

Trivia

• The appearance of this attack in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is taken from the rush that Vegeta uses against Commander Ginyu after Ginyu returns to his original body.
