Mouth Energy Wave

Mouth Energy WavesDragon Ball Online, 2010 are several almost identical attacks used by different characters in the same way: by blasting a large amount of energy from their mouth. It is a very swift technique and quite powerful with exploding and piercing properties depending on the way it is used.
==Overview==
Mouth Energy Wave can be considered a generic term for any energy beam shot from the mouth.
==Usage==
It is used by several Namekian characters towards the later part of Dragon Ball. In the King Piccolo Saga, Tambourine uses it to destroy Goku's original Flying Nimbus,Dragon Ball episode 103, "Tambourine Attacks!" and King Piccolo uses it to destroy Shenron after having his youth restored.Dragon Ball episode 112, "King Piccolo's Wish"
Later in the Piccolo Jr. Saga, Piccolo uses this attack in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament as a sudden attack to pierce a large hole through Goku's right shoulder; he also uses it in the Vegeta Saga to quickly destroy the final Saibaman,Dragon Ball Z episode 24, "The Power of Nappa" as well as in Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest to destroy a Bio-Man (Explosive Breath Cannon). Arlian Guards use this against Nappa and Vegeta.Dragon Ball Z episode 11, "Terror on Arlia"
Saiyan Great Apes and Golden Great Apes are known to utilize it, though in some cases its usage appears instinctual as Great Ape Gohan was able to fire one during his first transformation despite his inability to consciously control his ki in his base form, though his usage of the technique instinctually as a Great Ape, is similar to Hidden Potential which Gohan could initially only subconsciously perform when emotional and/or in life threatening situation. However Great Ape Vegeta and Great Ape Nappa are able to utilize the technique while retaining their reason. Additionally Saiyans such as Nappa and Borgos are known to utilize variations of the technique in their base forms. The usage of the technique by Broly is likely due to the influence of his Wrathful state which allows him to manifest the power and berserker mentality of uncontrolled Great Ape without transforming into one. Similarly, Bio-Broly also utilizes the technique, presumably due to it fighting primarily via instinct and what little memories it retained from its source material. 
Dodoria uses it to try to kill Bardock,Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku, 1990 but the Saiyan survived, albeit heavily injured, as well as to kill one Namekian child, Cargo, in the anime (in manga, Frieza's Death Beam did the deed) and to kill a Warrior-type Namekian.
Semi-Perfect Cell uses a Mouth Energy Wave during his battle against Super Vegeta in an attempt to surprise him, although Vegeta survives.
Innocent Buu and Super Buu are known for using the technique many times. Super Buu's version is called Ill Flash. Gotenks has his own variant of this technique called Revenge Cannon making him the only member of the Dragon Team besides Piccolo and Great Ape Gohan to utilize a Mouth Energy Wave technique. 
In the movies: Angila, Lord Slug, Bio-Broly, Janemba, Broly, and Cell Max also use this kind of attack.
