Galick Gun

is an Energy Wave that is one of Vegeta's signature attacks, similar to the Kamehameha.
==Overview==
To utilize it, Vegeta curls his fingers and places both his hands together at chest level facing the same direction (so that the palm of one hand is on the back of the other). Then, once enough ki is gathered, he shouts "Galick Gun!" (or in the Japanese version, "Galick Hō!") and thrusts both hands forward to fire a powerful blast of energy. The result is a powerful, huge, fuchsia-colored ki beam that emanates from his hands and body. It is capable of destroying large planets if enough power is put into it.
==Usage==
During the Vegeta Saga, after being humiliated by Goku's Kaio-ken Attack, Vegeta grows enraged at the sight of his own "noble blood" being spilled and soars into the sky, declaring he will blast Earth to smithereens with an Earth Splitting Galick Gun. Realizing the new extent of danger, Goku counters it by launching a x3 Kaio-ken Kamehameha. To Vegeta's surprise, the two attacks are evenly matched - until Goku raises his Kaio-ken multiplier to x4 and outmatches the Galick Gun, blasting Vegeta into the atmosphere.Dragon Ball Z episode 31, "Saiyan Sized Secret"
Vegeta uses a Galick Gun similar to the Final Burst Cannon during the battle against Frieza in his second form. While Frieza attacks Gohan, Vegeta fires an energy blast at Frieza and then he pulls his hands back to his sides and charges energy in each hand, followed by firing one large Galick Gun wave, creating a huge explosion. However, as the smoke clears, Frieza is unharmed and unfazed by the attack, much to Vegeta's shock.Dragon Ball Z episode 79, "Gohan Attacks"

Vegeta's Fierce Battle Commences!" Later, Future Trunks uses it to counter Fused Zamasu's Holy Wrath. Then Vegeta combines his own Galick Gun with Future Trunks' Galick Gun, creating a Father-Son Galick Gun.Dragon Ball Super episode 65, "Final Judgement? The Ultimate Power of an Absolute God" Later, against Infinite Zamasu, Goku charges a Kamehameha, Future Trunks charges a Galick Gun, Vegeta charges a Final Flash, and the three Saiyans combine their attacks into one and fire it at the sky, but the attacks are easily nullified.Dragon Ball Super episode 67, "With New Hope in His Heart - Farewell, Trunks"

In Super Saiya Densetsu, Vegeta uses a crimson Galick Gun in his Super Saiyan form in the secret boss fight against him.
In Budokai 2, Super Buu can use Galick Gun after absorbing Vegeta.
In Supersonic Warriors, Vegeta performs it like in the anime.
In Supersonic Warriors 2, Vegeta performs Galick Gun by throwing his hand backwards then forwards like Final Burst Cannon.
In Burst Limit, Vegeta uses a red/pink colored Galick Gun in his base form.
In the Raging Blast series, Vegeta uses a crimson-colored Galick Gun as his Ultimate Blast in his Super Saiyan 3 form.
In Dragon Ball Online, Vegeta uses Galick Gun in a cutscene.
In Xenoverse, it is one of Vegeta's super skills and can be taught to the Future Warrior if they choose Vegeta as a master. It is specifically mentioned as being 'weaker' than the Kamehameha, however, it requires less time to charge, as it lacks an 'incantation'. There is also a Z-Soul called "I'll turn you and your planet into space dust!", that can increase the power of the Galick Gun, though the user will lose a large amount of health whenever the skill is used. The Galick Gun also has a stronger counterpart, which appears as DLC, the Galick Beam Cannon which was developed by Mira.
In Dokkan Battle, it is one of Vegeta's super attacks.
In Dragon Ball Fusions, Trunks, Bulla, Gotenks, EX Gotenks, EX Gohanks, EX Trunks, Bulpan, EX Gogeta, Pinita, Vegenks, and Yamta can use it as one of their Special Moves. It can also be used by Pinich and Tekka if Saiyan is their selected race. Additionally, Trunks can also learn two stronger variations, Super Galick Gun and Hyper Galick Gun. It can also be learned by the Dragon Ball Super incarnation of Future Trunks along with Super Galick Gun and Hyper Galick Gun. There is also a variation called Galick Kamehameha that can be used by EX Gogeta and EX Gotenks.
In Xenoverse 2, it returns as one of Vegeta's Super Skills which can be learned by the Future Warrior by completing Vegeta's initiation test to train under Vegeta as a master. The Galick Gun's attacking stance also appears as an unlockable Emote Option. Additionally, there is a stronger version called the Earth Splitting Galick Gun which appears as one of Vegeta's Super Skills and can be unlocked randomly by the Future Warrior in "Parallel Quest 11: Burst Open and Mix!". Interestingly, during the Future Warrior's training under Goku, he tells them that Vegeta mentioned how similar his Galick Gun is to the Kamehameha, causing Goku to surmise that he could learn to use the Galick Gun as well, though he admits Vegeta would probably be furious if he did. After the 1.09.00 Update, Galick Gun can be added to Gotenks' custom skillset after purchasing it in Partner Customization. Additionally, three Galick Gun-based skills can be added to Perfect Cell's custom skillset, Galick Gun, Earth Splitting Galick Gun, and Super Galick Gun. Earth Splitting Galick Gun can also be added to Vegeta's custom skillset while Super Galick Gun and Galick Gun are available by default.
In FighterZ, it is a Super attack used by both SSGSS Vegeta and base form/Saiyan Saga Vegeta, and both are used in nonstandard ways compared to other beam supers in the game. SSGSS Vegeta fires his Galick Gun diagonally upward as an anti-air super, while base Vegeta always jumps into the air (or flies further upward if he is already airborne) and fires his Galick Gun diagonally downward. Galick Gun is also used by base Vegeta in the Dramatic Finish between him and base Goku, which recreates the famous beam struggle between Vegeta's Galick Gun and Goku's Kaio-ken Kamehameha. SSGSS Gogeta can also utilize the Galick Gun as his Down Special Attack.
In World Mission, the SH4-29 Vegeta card has a CAA Super Ability Subspace Summon T called Royal Family Galick Gun T which allows SSGSS Vegeta to summon his brother and father to perform the Royal Family Galick Gun.
In The Breakers, it can be used by the Survivors through the Transphere and the Vegeta's Gloves Survivor item gives the wearer a few uses of Galick Gun without having to transform.
==Trivia==
*In keeping with the pun on vegetables, the attack's name is derived from the English "garlic" (spelled "gaarikku").
*In the 4Kids version of Dragon Ball Z Kai, this attack is renamed "Galick Blast", similar to the Spirit Bomb being renamed "Spirit Blast". This is because of the name being similar to a firearm.
*Similar to how Kamehameha is associated with members of the Son family, the Galick Gun is associated with members of the House of Vegeta. Interestingly, while the Original Kamehameha was invented the Earthling Master Roshi (with the Super Kamehameha & several other variations being invented by Goku), Vegeta's Galick Gun was apparently invented by the Saiyan Prince.
