Image Projection

Directory: Techniques → Supportive techniques

Image Projection is a supportive technique in which the user sends out an image of themselves to confuse the enemy. The image itself cannot perform physical tasks since it fades through everything. The image is used to distract the enemy, who thinks it is the actual fighter, giving the user a chance to perform an actual attack.

Appearances

Dodoria used it to kill a Namekian Elder.

Piccolo used this move against Android 17 during the island fight. He cast out the image and after it faded through 17, the real Piccolo slammed 17 away into a rock formation.

Son Goku used it against Perfect Cell during their fight in the Cell Games. He cast the image and after it faded through Cell, the real Goku punched Cell many times in the stomach and almost ringed him out. Cell recovered, however, and continued the fight.
