Hidden Blade

is a Rush Attack used by Mercenary Tao in his cyborg form.
==Overview==
Cyborg Tao disconnects his left hand to reveal a retractable knife, rushes full speed at the opponent, and performs a combination of punches and kicks.
==Usage==
Cyborg Tao uses this attack against Tien Shinhan after seeing that he cannot beat Tien fairly during their match in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament. Due to his use of this technique, Tao loses the match by disqualification for violating tournament rules banning the use of weapons. Despite being disqualified, Tao continues to fight, admitting that he does not really care if he actually wins the match and that he only participated so he could kill Tien and Goku. After Tien breaks his blade, Tao decides to use his Super Dodon Wave on Tien.Dragon Ball episode 136, "Tien Shinhan vs. Mercenary Tao"
