Special Ki Manipulation (Dragon Ball)

==Summary==
Ki (気 "Ki", lit. "Spirit"), also known as Chi/Qi, Yōki (妖気) or simply Energy (エネルギー 'enerugī'), is a famous and central power in the Dragon Ball franchise. In the Dragon Ball Heroes multiverse, Ki is expanded into many more unique, special types of Ki, used by different beings, races which is detailed below
==General Abilities==
All forms of Special Ki are down to their core, still Ki, just more special with more unique abilities; thus they all possess the same core abilities of normal Ki
Ki Manipulation (Heroes & Xenoverse Exclusive - Mastery level depend on users): All forms of Special Ki are still Ki, thus these ki at their core isn't different from normal KiAs the name of the page implies, all these powers are special types of Ki. Ki is energy so these powers are all under Universal Energy Systems, as the strength level of these powers increases parallel with the amount of energy, thus these power's haxes and hax resistance potency increase parallel with the energy itself
*Enhanced Energy Projection: Like normal Ki, Special Ki users can project special ki blasts to attack which will contain the effects of said special ki
*Enhanced Aura: Like with normal Ki Manipulation, Special Ki users can envelop themselves with an Aura made of Special Ki which also contains the special effects of said special ki. Some users can even spread its presence over a large area to affect the surroundings, reaching upSDBH Arcade Dark Empire Saga to the entire multiverse.Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultimate Mission X
*Enhanced Forcefield Creation: Like normal Ki, Special Ki users can use their special ki to create a ki shield, a barrier which can also protect them from harm like absorption, poison, lava & magma, etc...The ki shield made from these special Ki also possesses special abilities from these ki
Enhanced Statistics Amplification: All forms of Special Ki are still Ki, thus it can enhance the users' overall powers, and it also can enhance the potency of its users' abilities.See note 1 Special Ki also enhances one's statistics far greater than normal Ki, such as Dark Ki, with a small amount capable of boosting normal Shenron into Dark Shenron, who when awakening, his mere presence warp the entire multiverse
==Special Abilities==
In the world of Dragon Ball Heroes, many individuals possess multiple unique types of Ki with different abilities among them, which are detailed below:
<tabber>
|-|God Ki=God Ki (神の気 'Kami no Ki', lit. "Spirit of a God") a special type of ki used by godly beings. Divine beings naturally possess this type of ki, mortal can also have this ki if they train, or possibly obtains it through special ritual such as the Super Saiyan God ritual.With God Ki, all Gods like the Supreme Kai, Gods of Destruction, etc....... naturally utilize God Ki, and thus possess all of its powers, abilities and resistances. Special characters like Goku or Vegeta, due to being mortal with God Power, their God Ki can only truly manifest in God Forms, thus they only have resistance to Ki Sensing (or Extrasensory Perception) in their God Forms. However, due to also absorbing god power into base form, they still possess all other God Ki powers, abilities and resistances like when Demigra used Dark Ki (& Dark Magic) on Goku, he still resists it despite not in any god forms and at that time he didn't has access to god forms like SSG or SSB. Goku Black (SDBH)/The Crimson-Masked Saiyan is an exception due to Zamasu's soul (god) residing in Goku's (mortal) body, retaining all God Power's traits in all of his forms from base onward.
|-|Dark Ki=Dark Ki, or Dark Energy (ダークエネルギー), Demonic Power, Dark Demon Realm Power. Is a special Ki originating from the Demon Realm and is naturally possessed by members of the Demon race. Dark Ki is one of the most wicked, dark powers in the verse, and is the main central power of the main antagonist race. Some other beings that aren't Demon also capable of using this power to an extent, such as wizards if they spend their time learning.With Dark Ki, Demons (and from that Demon Gods and Dark Kings) naturally possess the full power of Dark Ki due to being the Demon Realm's true inhabitants, and thus they can utilize all of its effects. Other characters that received Dark Ki through other means (such as being granted it) can only use its basic power such as to amplify their power and corrupt their opponent or nullify powers, etc... They can only use all of its effects if they train to use Dark Ki better. However Dark Ki users, no matter what, still possess all of its resistances; and anyone that resists Dark Ki, can resist all of its harmful, offensive effects regardless of its user's mastery level
|-|Demon God Power=Demon God Power is the power of a Demon who has reached a Godly state, thus being appropriately named a Demon God.
Demon God Power is a power mixed with Dark Ki and God Ki, which in turn, enhances the Dark Ki potency of its user greatly. Currently, Demon God Power and the Dark Factor are only applicable to HeroesDue to Demon God Power can bypass both Dark Ki and God Ki resistances, this mean at least Demon God Power possesses 1 layer in it haxes. And since Demon God Power also allow its users to resists its own abilities, Demon God Power's resistances also possesses at least 1 layer
|-|Dark Factor=Dark Factor (暗黒因子), or Black Element is a very special type of power, the life-force of Dark King, possessed by Mechikabura himself and later Fu & Demigra. Having this power signifies a Demon being Dark King, ruler of the Demon Realm. This is the most wicked power, with its users wreaking havoc across the multiverse.Dark Factor is even greater than Demon God Power and can affects being who either possesses Demon God Power's abillities & resistances or resists Demon God Power's abilities, so Dark Factor's abilities is at least 2 layers. And since Dark Factor allow its users to resist its own abilities, Dark Factor's resistances is at least 2 layers
|-|Power of Destruction=Power of Destruction (破壊の力 Hakai no Chikara) is an incredibly powerful, specialized godly power, utilized by Gods of Destruction and those trained in their ways.Son Goku (Super Dragon Ball Heroes) is a special situation, as he is confirmed to be able to cast Energy/Power of Destruction, but not actually possesses Energy of Destruction. Thus while he can use most of the offensive abilities of Power of Destruction such as envelop himself in an Aura covered by the Energy of Destruction, its Enhanced Extrasensory Perception, Extra Power of Destruction's Resistances. However, he still resists Power of Destruction nonetheless because of his feat in Super, resisted Sidra's Power of Destruction.
|-|Evil Aura=Evil Aura (悪のオーラ Aku no ōra), also called Evil Ki is a special type of Ki unique to Evil Saiyans and is utilized by them. It is the trademark power of Cumber, and presumably, the origin of this powerEvil Aura capable of affecting being who possesses God Ki which in turn resist Dark Ki's abilities, thus similar to Demon God Power, Evil Aura's abilities is at least 1 layer. And Evil Aura also allow its users to resists its own abilities, Evil Aura's resistances is at least 1 layer

==Potency & Range ==
The potency of these special Ki is at least Low Complex Multiversal (Low 1-C), Dark Ki is capable of affecting 5-dimensional hypertimeline, God Ki and Dark Ki can resist Dark's Ki abilities, then Demon God Power and Evil Aura can affect and bypass these resistances, in turn Dark Factor can bypass Demon God Power's and Evil Aura's resistances. Gods of Destruction in Heroes and Xenoverse with Power of Destruction can destroy history itself, or threaten even Time Gods.
The range of these special Ki correspondence to their potency and show the capabilities to easily affect the entire 5-dimensional hypertimeline thus their range is at least Low Complex Multiversal (Low 1-C). However Dark Ki can warp space-time and reach to the Crack of Time, thus some abilities from Dark Ki such as BFR, Portal Creation have beyond baseline Low Complex Multiversal range. They all also can each between dimensions so they too have Interdimensional range

|-|Specific Note=
|-|General Note=
*As per this cosmology page, Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Dragon Ball Heroes, along with others such as Dragon Ball Fusion and Dragon Ball Fighter Z exist within the same multiverse, universal power systems that are confirmed to exist throughout the shared multiverse like Dark Ki or God Ki can be used across games. Additionally, many skills and techniques belonging to Dark Ki and God Ki have appeared in both Xenoverse, Heroes and Fusions also displaying the same effects.
*Both Xenoverse's and Heroes's Dark Ki corrupt its victims and enhance their powers. However, in Xenoverse the effects result in Supervillain Mode while in Heroes they just get corrupted normally, however down to their core they function similarly.
*In contrast to popular belief that being stronger beats weaker hax and that it's a weakness of the hax in Dragon Ball, this is not the case here (at least for game verse). While you can overpower Dark Ki's resistances with stronger Dark Ki or resist Dark Ki's effects with stronger Dark Ki, or have God Ki's resistance to fight Dark Ki, it is established in the series that you specifically need Dark Ki to fight Dark Ki as a whole, just being stronger with normal ki doesn't help you against Dark Ki, unless you develop or have resistance to it first, like in the case of the Time Patrol, or have God Ki first. This also extends to Demon God Power, the Dark Factor, the Power of Destruction, and the Evil Aura. An example is CC Goku and CC Vegeta being stronger than their Xeno counterparts, but their Xeno counterparts are unaffected by Cumber's Evil Aura while CC Goku and CC Vegeta were affected.
*As the name of the page implies, all these powers are special types of Ki. Ki is energy so these powers are all under Universal Energy Systems, as the strength level of these powers increases parallel with the amount of energy, thus these power's haxes and hax resistance potency increases parallel with the energy itself.
*Due to the extremely long name of the series and its saga/arc, most of them are being written in short to reduce the length in the references section as follows: Dark Demon Realm Mission (DDRM), Universe Mission (UM), Big Bang Mission (BBM), Ultra God Mission (UGM).
