==Video Game Appearances==
It appears in the video games Dragon Ball Z Side Story: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans (spelled 激烈光弾, lit. Raging Fury Light Bullet; the "retsu" kanji is different), the Butōden series, the PlayStation version of Dragon Ball Z: The Legend, Dragon Ball Z: Legendary Super Warriors (named F.Lightbomb), Budokai series, Supersonic Warriors series, Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans, and Dragon Ball Heroes.
In the Budokai Tenkaichi series, the Light Grenade is one of Piccolo's Blast 2, while in the Raging Blast series, it is his Ultimate Attack; in the Raging Blast series, when someone is hit by this attack, it changes from an energy ball to a large energy blast, like it was in the original series.
Semi-Perfect Cell can use this technique in Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2, and Super Buu can use it after absorbing Piccolo in the Budokai series. King Piccolo can use it in Budokai 3, as he is an alternate costume for Piccolo.
In Dragon Ball Online, the technique is named Violent Slice and is learned by Shadow Knights at level 46. Additionally, an unnamed Dark Warrior youth is seen performing the technique in a promotional cinematic for the game.
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, the Light Grenade is one of Piccolo's Super Skills. Piccolo will teach this skill to the Future Warrior after they complete his third master training mission. Pressing the button repeatedly allows the user to charge it up in order to fire it at maximum power.
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, it returns as one of Piccolo's Super Skills where it can be charged up to two additional stages. When fully charged, the technique does damage that rivals Ultimate Skills, dealing more damage than a Full Power Energy Wave making it one of the few Super Skills with damage potential greater than Ultimate Skills. The Future Warrior can learn the technique during School Quest: "Lesson 2" of Piccolo's Training. After the 1.09.00 Update, it can be added to Adult Gohan's custom skillset after purchasing it. It can also be added to Majin Buu (Gohan Absorbed)'s custom skillset after purchasing it. As part of the Hero of Justice Pack 2 DLC, Piccolo (Power Awakening) has a special Ultimate Skill variant of Light Grenade which has a slightly different animation to the Super Skill version.
The technique also does return in Dragon Ball FighterZ, which makes it Piccolo's Level 3 and is a multi-hitting projectile attack that does a lot of damage.
In Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, Light Grenade is one of Piccolo's Super Attacks that can be acquired through Mental Simulation Training at Training Grounds once certain criteria are met. Additionally, he can also acquire two variations with homing capabilities Guided Light Grenade and Super Guided Light Grenade which can also be acquired through Mental Simulation Training once certain criteria are met.
