Imprisonment Ball

is a technique used by Frieza in his final form.
==Overview==
Frieza appears behind the opponent and holds his hand out, ensnaring them in an inescapable golden sphere of energy. He then toys around with this containment like a soccer ball. When Frieza is finished beating the victim around, he kicks the ball away, where it detonates on contact with anything other than Frieza himself. The resulting implosion is so immense it creates a vacuum that sucks in anybody nearby.
==Usage==
Frieza uses this attack during his battle against Goku on Namek. When Goku blasts through a large landmass Frieza threw at him, Frieza appears behind him and captures him with the Imprisonment Ball. Frieza spends time smacking Goku around and fires an enormous energy wave at the sphere, blasting it crashing into Planet Namek. However, it is revealed that in the instant between the impact and the explosion, Goku is fast enough to escape not only the explosion, but the vacuum as well.Dragon Ball Z episode 88, "Clash of the Super Powers"
In the anime version of the Tournament of Power, Frieza utilized an Imprisonment Ball to paralyze Top. While it held him long enough for Frieza to deliver a barrage of attacks, Top broke free by powering up.Dragon Ball Super episode 126, "Surpass Even a God! Vegeta's Sacrifice Strike!"

However, this prevents the user from firing volleys of standard Ki Blasts like other characters.
