Rapid Movement

Daizenshuu 7, 1996 is a technique used by the Dragon Team and their opponents in the Dragon Ball franchise.
==Overview==
The fighter moves with great speed, which creates the illusion of teleportation.
==Usage==
It is one of the most frequently used techniques in the series, used for more advanced movement and dodging, and as a base for other Movement Techniques such as the Afterimage Technique.
==Variations==
*Assault Vanish - A variation used by Gogeta that allows the user to warp instantly behind their opponent or stay invisible longer before reappearing in the same location. The technique can even be utilized during a Boost Dash however it consumes both the users Ki and stamina. Named in Xenoverse 2, as part of the Extra Pack 4 DLC, where it appears as one of SSGSS Gogeta's Super Skills.
==Video Game Appearance==
The technique is also used in several Dragon Ball video games, notably Dragon Ball Z: Sagas and the Budokai Tenkaichi series.
In Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2, it is Goku's Signature Attack under the name High Speed Movement.
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, it is known as Vanish or Vanishing and is used to evade attacks and/or pursue a knock backed opponent. It is also as part of various super, evasive, and ultimate skills. This game also introduces variations of it such as Instant Rise.
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, it is known as Z-Vanish or Z-Vanishing and works mostly the same way it did in Xenoverse. As part of the Extra Pack 4 DLC, a Super Skill variation called Assault Vanish appears as one of SSGSS Gogeta's Super Skills. Additionally, the Future Warrior can randomly obtain it in New Parallel Quest 131: "Fight of the Fusions! Vegito vs Gogeta".
In Dragon Ball Legends, it is named Vanishing Step and is a game mechanic where the user sidesteps at the right moment which will cause the user to avoid the attack via moving rapidly to the side. However, while this allows the user to avoid most straight on attacks and Arts, one is still vulnerable to Arts that have an area of effect around the user (such as Assault Rain, Giant Storm, and Death Storm). Kakarot Goku utilizes rapid movement as a mechanic of his Strike Arts as he will vanish as he delivers each of his strikes though it is mostly a visual effect. However, to perform a Vanishing Step, the user must have a full Vanishing Gauge which refill after one use, with certain equipment, Arts, or Abilities effecting its recovery speed. Switching characters or getting hit will also restore it. Due to the lack of a guarding mechanic in Dragon Ball Legends, Vanishing Step is the main defensive game mechanic along with Cover Change and switching characters. If the user doesn't have enough vanishing gauge, then they will perform a normal sidestep which can still be useful for avoiding some attacks like Tap Blasts.
==Trivia==
*In the episode "Deadly Beauty", Turtle when defending Maron from two men intending to take advantage of her briefly used a similar move to Rapid Movement to stand between them and form a defensive pose.
