Directory: Techniques → Offensive techniques → Ki → Energy spheres

Destroy The Planet! (この 星 を 消す!, Kono Hoshi o Kesu!) is an energy sphere] attack used by Freeza in his Final Form.

Usage

First, Final Form Freeza puts the palms of his hands together in front of his chest and brings them apart as he forms a red and orange sphere of energy. Next, he raises it upward and charges it with more power, making it bigger and more powerful with additional streaks of black electricity. Finally, Final Form Freeza fires the attack at his opponent, inflicting a massive amount of damage. When thrown into a planet, it is shown that it tunnels into the ground until it destroys the planet's core.

History

Dragon Ball Z

Final Form Freeza used this attack in his battle against Son Goku in his Super Saiyan form in an attempt to destroy Planet Namek so that Super Saiyan Goku would not be able to breathe in space. The planet was not entirely destroyed because Final Form Freeza held back too much power, but the tyrant revealed that Planet Namek would explode in five minutes. Final Form Freeza then powered up to his 100% Power form and he and Goku continued their battle.

Video games

Destroy The Planet! is named in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and is Freeza's Ultimate Blast in his Final Form.

It also appeared in Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout as one of Freeza's attacks.

Trivia

• Freeza noted that Planet Namek would explode in five minutes after using the Destroy The Planet! attack. However, the remainder of the battle between Goku and Frieza took eight episodes, indicating that five minutes should have passed earlier in the battle. This is also known as one of the biggest examples of filler in the entire series.
• Ironically, when Freeza uses Destroy The Planet! in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, it does not destroy the fighting stages. While this would normally be a given, there actually are attacks in the game that, when used, "destroy" the stage and transform it into a ruined state.
