**Intelligence:** At his time, the most renowned martial artist in the world. Often correctly predicted the outcome of fights. Great at training others and has centuries of life experience

**Weaknesses:** Roshi needs oxygen to breathe, he is subject to disease and presumably poison, and cannot fly | It is difficult for him to sustain his MAX Power form due to his age, and his strongest attack has a long charge time and he can only use it once before being completely drained.

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Evil Containment Wave:** Roshi can seal away demons by sucking them into a container. This technique requires life energy so those who use this technique will die even if its successful or not. This may no longer be the case, as Roshi seemed confident in using it for the Tournament of Power.

* **Kamehameha (Turtle Destruction Wave):** A powerful beam of ki. Roshi is the inventor of this technique, which took him 50 years to perfect. When in MAX Power mode, it has the power to destroy objects the size of Earth's moon.

* **Zanzoken (The After-Image Technique):** Roshi moves at super speed, and leaves a lingering illusion of himself behind, confusing opponents. Can be done multiple times, leaving many images.

* **Drunken Style:** Roshi uses Drunken Kung Fu, which is pretty much copied straight from reality. Roshi staggers about acting drunk and attacks the opponent with unpredictable attacks. He used it against Goku in the 21st Budokai because he couldn't copy it because he'd never been drunk.

* **Saimin no Jutsu (Hypnosis Technique):** Roshi can hypnotize others, although it takes a while to work. He has shown the ability to put people to sleep and trick a werewolf into seeing the moon when it wasn't there.

* **Bankoku Bikkuri Sho (Thunder Shock Surprise):** He can release a burst of electricity that can shock, KO, or even kill a superhuman enemy. However, it takes him a moment to convert his ki into electrical energy.

**Note:** While Master Roshi's feat of destroying the moon is often considered an outlier, it is backed up by multiple official sources. While many claim that this contradicts King Piccolo's and Piccolo Jr's **City level+** and **Small Country level** showings, King Piccolo's feat was implied to be extremely casual, so him blowing up the whole world if he wanted to wouldn't be too farfetched. Additonally, Goku's Super Kamehameha was stated to be able to shatter the moon, further supporting Master Roshi's moon-busting feat.

**Note #2:** Roshi surviving Tagoma's kick is an outlier.
