The Continuous Energy Bullet (連続 気功弾, Renzoku Kikōdan; Literally meaning "Continuous Spirit Work Bullet") is an energy wave attack used by many fighters.
Contents
Usage
The user fires energy waves at a very rapid rate, causing a lightning speed effect. It is effective for quick, widespread, and massive amounts of damage, but it is very draining on one's own ki level. If the user is powerful enough, however, they are able to avoid the draining effects of this combination technique.
Many fighters in Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT are able to perform this attack, but its most prominent user is Vegeta (in fact, during his fight with Majin Boo, Son Goku refers to it as Vegeta's technique).
Power
The Continuous Energy Bullet is much more powerful than the average energy Ki Blast. Like other techniques, this attack can be increased further through transformations, concentration, and training. Its power, speed, force, color, and size depends on the user. This technique is usually used as a last resort or a desperation move (For example, when Vegeta started firing non stop blasts against Kid Boo) and typically motivated by frustration or rage. Great Apes and Golden Great Apes also had a Mouth Blast variation of this attack.
