Big Bang Attack

is a variation of Galick GunDaizenshuu 7, 1996 used by Vegeta in his Super Saiyan, Majin, and Super Saiyan Blue forms. Along with Final Flash and Galick Gun, it is one of Vegeta's signature attacks.
==Overview==
In order to perform it, Vegeta extends his arm, opens his palm and turns his hand up right. He then condenses his ki in his palm and launches a ki blast that proceeds to detonate in a massive explosion.
==Usage==
Vegeta uses the Big Bang Attack against Android 19, during the same battle that he first fights as a Super Saiyan, and the attack totally annihilates the evil android and leaves only his head remaining. Later, Vegeta tries to blast Android 18 with the Big Bang Attack (shaped into an Energy Wave), but Android 18 dodges the attack and the big Paper Clip truck behind her gets blasted on accident, apparently killing the Paperclip truck driver. Vegeta uses another Big Bang Attack later in the same fight but, though a direct hit, Android 18 is completely fine albeit her dress is damaged.
Semi-Perfect Cell is shown to use this attack when destroying a portion of Android 16's head soon after reaching his Semi-Perfect form, and later while facing Super Vegeta. Also, Cell uses a similar technique called Big Bang Crash when he destroys whole islands with it.
Majin Vegeta uses this attack at the World Tournament Arena to kill some civilians in order to force Goku to fight him. Vegito uses it against Super Buu, but it is shaped into an energy wave rather than a sphere, while retaining its enormous attack powerDragon Ball Z episode 270, "Rip in the Universe" (Super Vegito's attack is called Big Bang Attack in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, and Big Bang Flash in Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z). As a Super Saiyan 2, Vegeta also uses the energy wave variation of the attack against Kid Buu, but to no effect as the Majin is able to dodge the attack by reshaping himself around the beam.
In Dragon Ball Super, Vegeta prepares a Big Bang Attack in an attempt to kill Frieza (after beating him to a pulp) after his revival but fails due to Frieza to destroying the Earth with his Earth Breaker in a desperate last resort. However, Whis reverses time for Goku to kill Frieza instead with a God Kamehameha. Super Saiyan Vegeta also uses a Big Bang Attack against Auta Magetta in the Tournament of Power, but Magetta blocks it. Later on, during the fight against Agnilasa, Vegeta fires a Big Bang Attack at him, but Agnilasa easily deflects it. 
Baby, while possessing Vegeta, uses an altered variation of the move, wherein the attack is reshaped into a beam, and launched with the Final Flash stance. The attack power remains the same, but has the properties of a beam attack, rather than an explosive. Gogeta uses a variant of this attack called the Big Bang Kamehameha, combining the elements of both the Big Bang Attack and the Kamehameha.
In Super Dragon Ball Heroes, Super Saiyan Blue Gogeta uses a massive Big Bang Attack to hold off Hearts' God Meteor for a brief moment.
==Film Appearances==
In Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler, Vegeta also uses the technique against Meta-Cooler, nearly hitting Goku with the attack in the process, but the metallic monster teleports away and proceeds to kick Vegeta in his crotch.
In Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13!, Vegeta uses the attack against Super Android 13 to help Goku when the latter was preparing a Spirit Bomb to defeat the Android.

The Big Bang Attack has a few different colors in video games, whitish blue being the standard and usual color in video games, but in some games, it is yellow or orange.
In Ultimate Battle 22 and Shin Butōden, Trunks uses the attack.
In The Legacy of Goku II, Vegeta can increase the size and strength of his Big Bang Attack.
In Buu's Fury, at level three it turns into a red, yellow and white "bomb".
In the Budokai series, Vegeta will launch the Big Bang Attack at his opponent and destroy it with Welcome to Oblivion! to create a massive explosion.
In Supersonic Warriors 2, Vegeta uses a variation called Big Bang Burst.
In Battle Stadium D.O.N., it is one of Vegeta's unique moves in his base form and Super Saiyan form. It can only be done on the ground as a close-ranged explosion where Vegeta fires the attack below himself to propel into the air from the ground, akin to a Jumping Energy Wave.
In Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Majin Vegeta's Big Bang Attack has a different animation in which Vegeta charges the attack above his palm like carrying a ball instead of the usual pose.
In Burst Limit, Vegeta can use an enhanced version of Big Bang Attack called Super Big Bang Attack.
In Infinite World, Baby Vegeta can use the Big Bang Attack.
In Dragon Ball Online, the Big Bang Attack can be learned by Fighters at level 46.
In Battle of Z, it is one of Vegeta, Future Trunks, and Semi-Perfect Cell's techniques.
In J-Stars Victory Vs, it is one of Vegeta's special attacks and can be performed either in base form or Super Saiyan form with slight homing properties towards the currently-locked-on target. Before being nerfed in the + version, it used to be stronger and had better tracking to where it even was solid as an assist.
In Dokkan Battle, it is Super Saiyan Vegeta's Active Skill. It also appears as the non-playable enemy Clone Vegeta's Super Attack which he acquires from his source material's DNA. Additionally, Semi-Perfect Cell can use his Big Bang Crash variation.
In Xenoverse, Big Bang Attack is one of Vegeta's Super Skills. It also appears as one of Vegito's Super Skills in his 3rd skillset. Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta also uses it in his 1st skillset which is part of the Pre-Order DLC. It can also be obtained by the Future Warrior as a reward in Parallel Quest 17: "Challenger Hercule".
In Dragon Ball Fusions, it appears as a Special Move that can learned by Kid Trunks after he reaches Lv. 49. Cabba uses a variation of the technique called Big Bang Cannon and Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta uses a more powerful version called God Big Bang Attack. There is also a Special Move used by several characters called Planet Bomb (Not to be confused with Amond's Planet Bomb Exploding Wave technique) which is performed in an identical manner to the Big Bang Attack and Big Bang Cannon. There is also a stronger version of Planet Bomb called Super Planet Bomb.
In Xenoverse 2, Big Bang Attack returns as one of Vegeta and Vegito's super skills. Future Trunks (Dragon Ball Super) can use it as one of his Super Skills. After the 1.09.00 Update, it can be added to Vegeta's custom skillset after purchasing it in Partner Customization.
In Jump Force, it is one of Vegeta's techniques in his base, Super Saiyan, and Super Saiyan Blue forms. It is only accessible when fully enhancing his Energy Blast Volley ability as an automatic finisher to the barrage. However, the Big Bang Attack finisher will not properly combo if the whole sequence is done from too far away.
In Kakarot, it is one of Vegeta's techniques, launching an energy ball that explodes into a massive fireball on-contact or upon travelling a short distance.
In FighterZ, it is one of Vegeta's techniques in his Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan Blue forms. While it is a super and requires a stock of super meter to perform for Super Saiyan Vegeta, it is a regular special move for SSGSS Vegeta, although that means it is susceptible to most projectile counters.
==Trivia==
*In the original Funimation dub, the Big Bang Attack is never named, even in the uncut episodes. Instead, Vegeta sarcastically says "A little going-away present for you!" just as he fires the attack on Android 19.
**It is in fact named in the games and in Dragon Ball Z Kai.
*In the Japanese version of Dragon Ball GT, when Baby is preparing a Final Flash, he shouts "Big Bang Attack!". This led to his Final Flash being renamed to Big Bang Attack in various video games, such as the Budokai Tenkaichi series and Dragon Ball Heroes.
*The attack's name and state are also reminiscent of the .
*The attack's name was first used by Toriyama in Saving Soldier Cashman but bears no resemblance to this technique - Cashman's attack is a powerful kick.
