Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Flight: The ability to fly with the use of ki.
*Ki Blast: The most basic form of energy wave.
*Power Up: Ginyu is among the few members of the Frieza Force capable of increasing his power by powering up. Ginyu is also capable of lower his power level as he tells Goku that he too is capable of changing his battle strength at will. Ginyu can also use this ability while inside Goku and Tagoma's bodies, though he was unable to access Goku's 180,000 power level as he lacked Goku's knowledge of the Kaio-ken and thus was only capable of raising it to 23,000. However, due to Tagoma being a member of Frieza's army who had trained with Frieza himself, Ginyu was able to use Tagoma's power to its fullest thanks to his knowledge of this ability (his understanding of which may have improved during his time on Earth as a frog as he was potentially able to learn more about it by spying Goku and his friends over the years).
*Body Change: Ginyu traps his foes in a strange purple aura, making them unable to move, he then switches bodies with them.
*Full-Nelson: A hold he performed on Goku. Ginyu broke the hold because he was able to place it only due to Jeice's intervention.
*Galaxy Dynamite: Captain Ginyu fires a barrage of multiple energy blasts in succession that have greater power than the normal energy blasts. Ginyu can also fire a red version of the technique that fires small energy balls that explode like grenades on contact.
*Got You!: A physical technique he used against Goku. Named Dynamite Punch in Dragon Ball Z: Legendary Super Warriors.
*Milky Cannon: Ginyu's signature attack where channels his energy into his hand and then fires a purple beam capable of easily destroying islands.
**Dynamite Pressure: A variation of the Milky Cannon used by Ginyu while he is in Goku's body.
*Ginyu Smash: Ginyu created an energy sphere in front of him from his two hands joined together, then he slams the sphere with his open hands or a kick, hurling it towards the opponent. It is one of his super attacks in Dragon Ball Z: Buyū Retsuden.
*Self-Harm: Ginyu generally uses this technique before performing the Body Change. It is one of his Blast 1 in the Budokai Tenkaichi series. It is called Holstein Shock in Dragon Ball Xenoverse.
