Death Storm

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, 2006 is an Exploding Wave used by Frieza in his second form.
==Overview==
Cackling, Frieza raises his clenched hand and opens it, momentarily changing the environment to black and white before releasing a massive Exploding Wave around him and creating a pillar of large-scale planetary destruction.
==Usage==
During his fight with Gohan, Krillin, Dende and Vegeta, after powering up into his second form, Frieza boasts that in his current state he possesses a dreadful power level of one million. When a startled Vegeta expresses disbelief, Frieza chuckles and uses the Death Storm to prove himself, blowing everyone away, though they manage to survive (Krillin lightly injured from a rock that scraped his head). The island they were standing on explodes, leaving only a small platform that Frieza remains on. The tyrant laughs, expecting them to dodge the attack but declaring it was only a minor display of his strength, as even Saiyans such as Vegeta would be capable of a technique like the Death Storm.Dragon Ball Z episode 78, "Fighting Power: One Million??"

==Trivia==
*The technique is similar to Nappa's Volcano Explosion (also known as Giant Storm) albeit Nappa only uses two fingers. In one of the English dubs and English translated manga, Frieza tauntingly remarks that even a Saiyan is capable of performing a technique like this, obviously referring to the weakness of a Saiyan's attacks in comparison to his. It was also a reference to Nappa's Volcano Explosion as they are Exploding Wave techniques.
**In Xenoverse 2, Frieza's regard of the Death Storm being a more difficult technique for "lowly Saiyans" but for him a simple display of his power is reinforced by Sonic Bomb being a Super Skill while Nappa's Giant Storm is his Ultimate Skill.
