The Tenku pekeji-ken (天空 ペケ字拳, Tenkū pekeji-ken; FUNimation "Cross Arm Dive"; Literally meaning "Sky Cross Shaped Fist") is a rush attack used by Namu. First, Namu kicks his opponent into the air. Next, he punches his opponent into the ground, landing on their back. Then, he jumps high into the air and makes a cross with his arms and falls down toward his opponent at full speed. Finally, Namu slams onto his opponent with full strength, inflicting a huge amount of damage.
History
Dragon Ball
The Tenkū pekeji-ken is Namu's Ultimate Attack. Namu used this attack as a final resort in his match against Son Goku at the 21st Tenkaichi Tournament. After Namu was apparently saved in his match from Goku's Tornado! (because the latter fell on his back due to dizziness), Namu decided to finish the match before he lost. He proceeded to jump 40 feet into the air and did the Tenku pekeji-ken's slam on Goku, knocking the young Saiyan unconscious. Namu explained that the Tenku pekeji-ken knocked the opponent out for about 10 days, therefore Goku had no hope of winning. As the Tenkaichi Tournament Announcer proceeded to count to 10, Goku's friends were worried that Goku really was unconscious. As the number 9 was counted, Bulma Brief yelled out, "Dinner Time!" and Goku immediately woke up, much to the shock of Namu, the Tenkaichi Tournament Announcer, and everyone else in the audience.
