==Usage==
Goku uses headbutts several times in the series. Notably, he uses the attack combined with a Reverse Kamehameha during his match against Tien Shinhan in the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament. He also uses a headbutt to defeat Piccolo and win 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament. His tendency to use them was such that Master Roshi, when recalling his defeat of the Red Ribbon Army to Maron, mentioned that "using his head" was what Goku did best. Hero performs headbutts earlier in the tournament, to defeat Yajirobe and later during his match against Yamcha. In the latter case, he did it in reverse in order to have it appear as if it were an accident due to him appearing to have ducked to avoid a high kick from Yamcha, due to hitting the groin being a disqualifiable offense.Dragon Ball episode 138, "The Mysterious Hero"
