Ronnie Raymond/Martin Stein

The original Firestorm was only powerful by his integrated dual identity. High school student Ronnie Raymond and Nobel Prize-winning physicist Martin Stein were caught in a nuclear accident that allowed them to fuse into "The Nuclear Man" Firestorm. Due to Stein's being unconscious during the accident, Raymond was prominently in command of the Firestorm form with Stein a voice of reason inside his mind, able to offer Raymond advice on how to use their powers without actually having any control over their dual form. The arguing between the two was a hallmark of their adventures. Initially Stein was completely ignorant of their dual identity, leaving him concerned about his unusual disappearances and blackouts, but Ronnie was eventually able to convince him of the truth, allowing them to bond as separate individuals rather than as parts of a whole.

After the accident that created him, Firestorm took to defending New York from such threats as Multiplex and Killer Frost. The 1982 series began with the teenaged Raymond adjusting to his newfound role and later delved into the issue of the nuclear arms race and Firestorm’s role as an "elemental." The Fury of Firestorm slowly developed the lives of Raymond and Stein, as the teenager struggled with high school and moved towards graduation and the scientist found a life outside the lab after learning about his bond with Raymond. A second nuclear hero, Firehawk, was added as a love interest for Firestorm in 1984. The series also tried to create a sense of fun, something that Conway felt was missing during his years writing Spider-Man; the banter between Ronnie Raymond and Martin Stein contributed to this. Upon graduation from high school, Raymond entered college in Pittsburgh, where Stein had been hired as a professor. Afterward, together they searched for a cure for their bond.
9th Universe

The **9th Universe** (第（だい）９宇（う）宙（ちゅう）, *Dai-Kyū Uchū*; *FUNimation* "Universe 9"), regarded as "the makeshift universe" (姑息な宇宙, *kosuko na uchū*), is one of the remaining twelve universes in the multiverse.

## Overview

In Mortal Level — the average rankings of combat strength of the mortals in the 9th Universe — it places 1.86, the direct lowest under the 7th Universe. The universe was erased after their representative team was defeated in the Tournament of Power by the 7th Universe Team. It was later restored by No. 17's wish to Super Shenron.

## Rulers

### Kaiōshin

Rō was the Kaiōshin for the 9th Universe.

### Hakaishin

Sidra was the Hakaishin for the 9th Universe. Despite Sidra's role as a Hakaishin being to destroy planets, he was hardly able to decide on whether or not he should actually destroy anything.

Beauty Organic Spiral

* Briand de Chateau (Manga only)

The **Beauty Organic Spiral** is a manga-only Ki Manipulation Technique used by Ribriand.

## Usage

Ribriand uses this technique by forming a circle of life in the air, similar to the Galactica Doughnuts. She then brings down her arm, releasing the focused energy from her fingertips towards her opponent in a spiraling wave of life. While the strength of the technique is unknown, No. 18 reacted instinctively to dodge it, and Beerus himself stated that the techniques Ribriand was using were pretty strong.

Anti-Life Equation

Jason Rusch and Martin Stein meet Shilo Norman, and are attacked in succession by Orion of the New Gods and the Female Furies of Apokolips. Shilo informs Stein and Rusch that one quarter of the Life Equation is hidden within the **Firestorm Matrix**. The others are held by Earth's other three Elementals, (possibly the Red Tornado, Naiad, and Swamp Thing). Darkseid fears that the Life Equation might challenge him and his Anti-Life Equation. Orion wished to keep Professor Stein safe, and the Furies wished to secure the Matrix for Darkseid. With Gehenna as a "hidden partner" in the Matrix, Jason began his search for Stein.
Akumaito Beam

* Akkuman (Inventor)

The **Akumaito Beam** is the most powerful attack as well as signature technique of Akkuman.

## Usage

The Akumaito Beam is a unique technique created and employed by Akkuman. Placing his fingertips together, he releases a spiraling beam from his fingertips. When the beam hits the target, it expands the evil within the heart of an individual, using their negativity to literally blow them to smithereens. It does not, however, work on the pure of heart like Son Gokū. When the technique failed to affect Gokū, Uranai Baba compared his mind to that of an infant of an animal, implying the technique would not work on them either, most likely due to a lack of impure thoughts.

The **Beam Eyes** is a variation on the Kikōha that involves releasing a thin beam of life from one or both eyes.

## Usage

To use this technique, the user releases a destructive beam of energy from one or both eyes with a sharp glance. Like many technique, the force behind it is in proportion to the user's own power. The attack itself takes advantage of the innate abilities of the user, and this has best been exemplified by the fact that all the users have either been extraterrestrials or descended from a unique clan.

Beerus Ball

* Manga
* Holy Wrath
* Beerus (inventor)
* Champa (Manga only)

The **Beerus Ball** is a Ki Manipulation Technique utilized by Hakaishin Beerus, and one of his strongest offensive techniques.

## Usage

The Beerus Ball is a massive, sun-like energy sphere that Beerus forms over his head before launching it effortlessly at his opponent. The attack is shown to possess a ludicrous level of power, as simply being close to the Earth caused the surface of the planet to begin to churn and destruction to occur without even touching the planet's surface. From the surface of the planet, it eclipsed the very sun, and was the brightest thing in the sky. Son Gokū was unable to fully fend off the technique, even in his godly *ki* enhanced Super Saiyan form, and only when Gokū transformed into a Super Saiyan God was he able to nullify the technique. However, this exhausted his godly *ki* and left Gokū exhausted and unable to fight.

## Trivia

* While the attack was never named in the series proper, Akira Toriyama thought up a name for the technique during an interview.
* The Beerus Ball's name is similar to a type of mini keg known as the beer ball, a disposable plastic ball that usually holds 5.2 gallons of beers. This name falls in line with what Toriyama believed Beerus' own name to be a pun on: beer.

Fire Elemental

The Raymond/Arkadin Firestorm proved to be a transitional phase, as in 1989, writer John Ostrander fundamentally changed the character of Firestorm by revealing that Firestorm was a "Fire Elemental". Firestorm now became something of an environmental crusader, formed from Raymond, Arkadin, and a Soviet clone of the previous Firestorm, but with a new mind. Prof. Stein, no longer part of the composite at all, continued to play a role, but the focus was on this radically different character. New artist Tom Mandrakewould create a new look to match. It was during this phase that Firestorm met and befriended Shango and the Orishas, the elemental gods of Africa. He also met their chief deity and Shango's older brother Obatala, Lord of the White Cloth.

By the series' 100th issue, Stein learned that he was destined to be the true Fire Elemental and would have been were it not for Ron Raymond also being there by circumstance. Raymond and Arkadin were returned to their old lives, and Stein as Firestorm was accidentally exiled to deep space in the process of saving the Earth. He thereafter spent many years traveling through space as a wanderer, returning to Earth on only two occasions: the *War of the Gods* crossover event, and again in the JLA spin-off, *Extreme Justice* #5, where Stein cured Raymond of his leukemia and allowed Raymond to retain the original Firestorm persona on his own.

After the transition to the elemental Firestorm, all of the main characters from the series vanished from the comics for some time after the cancellation of the *Firestorm* comic in 1990. Raymond eventually returned in the pages of *Extreme Justice*. Raymond, who at the time was undergoing treatment for leukemia, regained his original powers after achemotherapy session. It took the combined might of the Justice League, led by Captain Atom, and the returned elemental Firestorm to restore Ronnie's health. Firestorm began to appear regularly in a number of DC titles, though lacking the guidance and knowledge necessary to use his skills wisely. In 2002, he returned to active duty with the Justice League and also appeared briefly in Kurt Busiek's heroes-for-hire comic *The Power Company*.
24th Tenka-Ichi Budōkai

* Mr. Satan wins the Adult Division.
* Mark (Known as **Mr. Satan**)
* Spopovich
* Jewel
* Killa
* Pintar
* Mighty Mask

**Junior Division**:
* Videl

The **24th Tenka-Ichi Budōkai** was a tournament in which Mark—known by his stage name, Mr. Satan—retained his title of the champion of martial arts.

## Overview

This tournament is only mentioned in the series. It is the tournament in which Mark, known the world over as Mr. Satan, became the champion of martial arts. It is also known that Videl competed in the first Junior division and won. Sometime during the tournament, Mark fought and defeated Spopovich.

## Trivia

* This tournament creates an inconsistency in the timeline. The date for this tournament is given in *Daizenshū 7*, one of the many anime databooks. However, its placement directly contradicts both the manga and previously established anime facts which state that there hadn't been a Tenkaichi Budōkai since the 23rd Tenka-Ichi Budōkai:
	+ *Daizenshū* states that the tournament occurs on May 7th, Age 767, placing it *before* the Cell Games.
	+ However, numerous characters comment *before* the Cell Games that there hasn't been a tournament since Gokū fought against Piccolo in the 23rd. In fact, the Cell Games were an attempt on Cell's part to revive the tournament.
	+ In later chapters, Videl claims that her father gained his champion's title immediately after Son Gokū (who got his during the 23rd). However, if *Daizenshū* is to be believed, this would place the tournament before the Cell Games, contradicting the manga and the anime proper. Because of this, the exact date of this tournament is unknown, though it likely actually took place during seven year timeskip *after* the Cell Games.

Big Bang Attack

* Type 2
* God Big Bang Attack
* God Heat Flash (Movie only)
* Vegeta (Inventor)
* Cell (Anime-only)
* Vegetto (Anime-only)

The **Big Bang Attack** is a Ki Manipulation Technique, and, alongside the Garlic Cannon and the Final Flash, is one of Vegeta's signature techniques.

## Usage

The Big Bang Attack is derived from the Garlic Cannon, however, the difference between the two techniques, beyond aesthetics, is the method of firing it, and the shape of the energy blast. To perform the Big Bang Attack, Super Saiyan Vegeta extends his hand, palm spread. He then emits ki from his palm, condensing it into a sphere that can deal heavy damage within its specific explosive range, in direct contrast to the Garlic Cannon, whose nature as an energy beam gives it a much wider range. When Vegeta first became a Super Saiyan, the Big Bang Attack was his strongest technique.

In the anime, Vegetto displays the ability to use this technique as well. Fitting its relation to the Gyarikku-Hō, Vegetto was able to control the shape of the technique, reshaping it from a sphere back into a beam. While firing the technique, Vegetto appears to be able to control it further, bending it as it moved before it collided with the fused evil Majin Boo. Despite its new shape, the technique retains the Big Bang Attack's tremendous power, further amplified by being used by Vegetto. Even after reducing Bu to pieces, the technique flew off planet and well into outer space before finally dissipating.

Baby would use this method while possessing Vegeta's body. Notably, he used the "Final Flash" pose for the technique, despite declaring the "Big Bang Attack".

## Trivia

* In the game *Dragon Ball Z Extreme Butōden*, Vegeta returns the Big Bang Attack to the energy beam format that the Garlic Cannon uses, similarly to what Vegetto performed in the anime. Here, it is called the "Big Bang Ray".

7th Universe Genki Dama

* Son Gokū

The **7th Universe Genki Dama** is one of the trump cards of Son Gokū: a Genki Dama which draws its *ki* from the 7th Universe Team.

## Usage

As with other examples of the Life Ball, Gokū gathers *ki* from those around him, in order to create a powerful energy sphere. In this case, he utilized the energies of everyone on the 7th Universe Team with the exception of Vegeta, forming the strongest Life Ball of its time. Despite all of its strength, it wasn't enough to defeat Jiren, and the Pride Trooper began to push it back towards Gokū. The latter had to combine it with that of the Twenty-Fold Super Saiyan Blue Kaiōken, but in the end, the blast was still reflected. Gokū wound up absorbing it, however, shattering the limits of his power and awakening a new form.

## Trivia

* Despite the Life Ball only harming those with evil in their hearts, Gokū still attempted to use it against Jiren. Gokū himself was nearly killed, despite it being established that he is pure of heart.

Absolute Release Ball

* No. 21

The **Absolute Release Ball** are a special type of Kikōha that changes based on the number of skills that are absorbed by No. 21

## Usage

The technique releases various Kikōhas forward that differs, based on the power. The Absolute Release Ball can be used horizontally and obliquely forward. The greater number of times one absorbs with the use of Tasting Cut and Air Tasting Cut, the larger the size and power of the Energy Bullet will become. However, when releasing the stronger variation, everything No. 21 absorbs is released.
Arctic Clothing

* Son Gokū

**Arctic Clothing** are the winter apparel that Suno gives Son Gokū to wear, allowing him to endure the cold of the north.

## Usage

The Arctic Clothing are garments given by Suno to Gokū, when the latter arrived in Jingle Village. Because of the *gi* he was wearing, Gokū nearly froze to death, unable to withstand the frigid temperatures. With the new clothing he was wearing, specifically the furs they were made out of, the cold was entirely shut off, keeping Gokū warm. With these clothes, he laid siege to Muscle Tower.
Beam Gun

* Bulma
* Jaco Teirimentenpibosshi
* Merus

A **Beam Gun** (ビームガン, *Bīmu Gan*; *FUNimation* "Ray Gun") is a type of energy weapon used by members of the Galactic Patrol.

## Trivia

* Beam guns were likely based on blaster technology from *Star Wars*. Akira Toriyama is a noted fan of the franchise and has previously drawn Bulma wielding a *Star Wars* blaster, and Kuririn wielding a lightsaber.

## Usage

The Air Dance Collide is a simple physical technique used by Gokū during his final fight with Piccolo Junior at the Tenka-Ichi Budōkai. The technique combines the Air Dancing Technique with a very powerful headbutt. As the technique doesn't require the use of any of Gokū's limbs, he was able to use it even while rendered temporarily quadriplegic by Piccolo.

## Trivia

* Despite the fact that Gokū had a gaping wound in his shoulder in the original *Dragon Ball* manga and anime, *Dragon Ball Z: God and God* removed the wound for censorship purposes.

* Dabra
* Majin Boo (Good)
* Majin Boo (Pure)
* Pui-Pui
* Spopovich
* Vegeta
* Yakon
* Yamu
* Energy Absorber
* Killi Detector

**Babidi's Forces** (バビディ一味, *Bobbidi Ichimi*) was an organization composed of many warriors from across the universe, formed under command of the nefarious wizard Babidi. Babidi's minions are unwilling servants, their loyalty being the result of a mind control spell. This spell unlocks their potential and thus increases their power and places a large "M" on their forehead (the "Demon mark"; the kanji for Demon being 魔; Ma). The syndicate scoured throughout different parts of the galaxy to spot a potential planets with susceptible large traces of pure energy enough to resurrect Majin Boo.

## Trivia

* The names of Babidi's allies are based on popular magical words. Notably Bibidi, his son Babidi, and his creation Buu's names are a pun on the name of an incantation in the 1950 film *Cinderella*, "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo".
* In the original series, Bū is the only one of Babidi’s Forces ever referred to as *majin*. However, due to misinformation from the FUNimation's english dub fans have long referred to those Babidi controls with his magic as *majin* as well, most prominently with “Majin Vegeta”.  The name “Majin Vegeta” has only been used in video games and on FUNimation’s DVD releases.
* Akira Toriyama has stated that, if the 'M' typically used to symbolize Babidi's Forces meant anything, it would mean **Ma** (魔, '**demon'**), which is typically used in the word **madōshi** (魔道士, *mage*) and **majin** (魔神, *devil, genie, magical being*).

Barrier

* Vegetto
* Zamasu (Manga only)
* No. 21 (Game only)
* Lazuli (Game only)

The **Barrier** is a defensive Ki Manipulation Technique where the user created a barrier to defend themselves.

## Usage

The Barrier is a defensive ability that manipulates the user's life into a defensive barrier around their body to protect themselves. In this way, it can guard against life -attacks, as well as physical attacks, such as missiles. Vegetto's barrier was of such sophistication that he was able to avoid being absorbed by Majin Bū. However, to maintain a barrier, the user must constantly emit life for it to maintain structure. Additionally, the life they emit must be at least twice that of their opponent. Lapis, with his infinite energy generator, and Developed Form Cell, who gained this generator through absorption, can use this technique with relative ease. Vegetto, who was said to be the best in the Universe in terms of his strength, could use it with the same relative ease. This technique's final weakness is the fact that someone who is weaker cannot use it to defend against a stronger opponent.

## Trivia

* Despite his Barrier only being used to prevent absorption, and not having been used in combat, Vegetto's Barrier skill in many video games functions similarly to the standard barrier used by Lapis; a spherical defense that protects against attacks.
* The Son Gohan from the future has shown the ability to use the Barrier in video games despite never having used the skill in the manga or animated specials; this also applies to the Makankōsappō.
* Despite not being listed as user in the *Daizenshū*, Majin Bū used a barrier in anime filler to protect himself from attacks; however, due to his own magical skills, it is highly likely the barrier was more related to Barrier Sorcery.

## Trivia

* In the anime, Karin claimed to be the inventor of the technique.
* Despite being a different technique with a similar result, Afterimage Sorcery is typically grouped together with the Afterimage Sorcery in games.

These storage capsules were developed by Doctor Gero, specifically for the use of his artificial humans. They're cylindrical in shape, resembling the stasis capsules Bulma once created to store the bodies of the deceased. Roughly larger than the average human, as one was capable of storing Android 16, and each stasis capsule has the Androids' serial number registered at the side. The capsules are known for suspending the artificial humans' functioning, preserving them until Gero needs to make use of their abilities, or to activate them for the first time. While there is no known difference between the capsules used to contain cyborgs and the capsules used to contain purely mechanical Androids, if the pipe leading to the Capsule is cut, it has a negative effect on the Android that is stored within.
The New 52

After the events of the 2011 "Flashpoint" storyline, as part of The New 52, reality is altered so that Firestorm's personal history is completely restarted. Ronnie is now introduced as a high school senior and the captain of the football team. During a terrorist attack on their school, Ronnie's classmate Jason Rusch produces a vial given to him by Professor Stein, which contains the "God Particle," one of Stein's creations. The God Particle transform both Jason and Ronnie into Firestorm, and the two teens briefly battle each other before accidentally merging into a hulking creature known as the Fury.

They are both considered for recruitment into the Justice League (sharing the identity of Firestorm with Ronnie being the brawn and Jason being the brains) along with several other heroes. They play a large part in the events leading up to the Trinity War, the three-way battle between the Justice League (the original headed by Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman), the Justice League of America (the A.R.G.U.S. sponsored team lead by Steve Trevor, Green Arrow and Amanda Waller), and Justice League Dark (the paranormal team consisting of John Constantine, Zatana and the Phantom Stranger). When Superman is framed for the death of Dr. Light and the League is taken into custody, Amanda Waller has Firestorm experiment on their ability to create certain elements: specifically, the mass production of kryptonite. It turns out that the two are indeed capable of using their powers to create it, but with some difficulty. However, this ultimately becomes moot once the Trinity War leads to the invasion of the Crime Syndicate, who supposedly kill off the Justice League. In fact, the League is trapped inside Firestorm by his Earth-3 counterpart, Deathstorm (a combination of Martin Stein and a corpse he experimented on), with only Batman and Catwoman escaping the initial fracas. The Leagues are presumed dead for a time, but are eventually freed from captivity after the Syndicate is defeated by Batman and Lex Luthor's Injustice League, Batman using Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth to draw her and the others out of Firestorm.

Death

Raymond was killed during the *Identity Crisis* mini-series. During a battle with a villain called the Shadow Thief, Raymond was impaled by the Shining Knight's sword, which the Shadow Thief had stolen. The magical sword ruptured the nuclear man's containment field, resulting in Firestorm's body exploding and his residual essence funneling into the body of Jason Rusch, the new host of the Firestorm Matrix. His name was featured posthumously on Rip Hunter's chalkboard in *Booster Gold* (vol. 2) #1 in the statement "Ronnie Raymond + X = Firestorm".
Justice League

While apprehending Killer Frost in the commission of a heist, Jason is severely wounded by Lex Luthor, the Joker, and Cheetah. While still recovering, he goes to aid the captive members of the Justice League. Upon freeing the members of the League, he joins the battle against the Injustice League. After this victory, Firestorm is drafted into the League by Batman.

During the team's encounter with the planet destroying villain Starbreaker and the black-ops team the Shadow Cabinet, Jason eventually faces Carl Sands, AKA Shadow Thief, the villain who killed Ronnie Raymond and inadvertently caused Jason's transformation into Firestorm. Sands mocks Jason for being an unworthy successor and nearly kills him like he did his predecessor, but Jason rejects the villain's insinuation that he is inferior, and emerges victorious. Jason instead uses his abilities to seal Sands' mouth shut with duct tape, preventing him from utilizing the shadows within his body, thus rendering him powerless. He later assists Icon and the rest of the Justice League in the final battle with Starbreaker.

After this, Jason plays a minor role in the mini-series *Justice League: Cry for Justice*. A short time later, Firestorm is seen helping search for survivors alongside Animal Man and Starfire after Star City is destroyed by Prometheus.
Blackest Night

In the 2009 - 2010 *Blackest Night* miniseries, Ronnie Raymond is called by a black power ring to join the Black Lantern Corps. In the following issue, his reanimated corpse is shown confronting Barry Allen and Hal Jordan alongside Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Elongated Man, Sue Dibny, and J'onn J'onzz. He then attacks Jason Rusch (the current Firestorm), and absorbs him into his own version of the Firestorm matrix. Then, using Jason's unique abilities, turns Gehenna into table salt, simultaneously ripping her heart out with a smile. He uses the Firestorm Matrix to absorb Jason's anger over Gehenna's death, providing the Black Lanterns with even more emotional energies He goes on to attack Barry Allen and co. at the Justice League satellite. Jason then briefly asserts himself, allowing the heroes to escape. Regaining control, Ronnie proceeds to absorb Jason's willpower. Like other Black Lanterns, the undead Firestorm mimics the personality of Ronnie Raymond, often wisecracking and exhibiting other stereotypical teenage behavior. In the final battle against Nekron, Ronnie is restored to life alongside Jason, the two separating from Firestorm. Ronnie is confused, asking Atom where Professor Stein is while Jason is upset with Ronnie killing Gehenna. Ronnie, however, apparently has no memory of doing so.

52

In the 2006 miniseries *Infinite Crisis* it was revealed that Martin Stein, alive in space as the "Elemental Firestorm", had sensed the presence of Jason within the Firestorm Matrix, but was unaware of the final demise of Ronnie Raymond. When Jason, as Firestorm, was gravely wounded in the line of duty, Stein linked with him in a variation of the merge, promising Jason a new Firestorm body to let him return into battle (although Martin had been unable to save Mick) and asking him about the fate of Ronnie.

Accepting Martin's proposal, Jason asked Stein to become the permanent second member of the Firestorm matrix. Sensing his "errors", including Mick's death, were the result of his youth and lack of experience, he sought the experience and maturity of Stein. Martin refused at first, but finally accepted Jason's request, thus ensuring both a new Firestorm body and the reconstruction of human bodies for both Rusch and Martin.[1]

It was revealed in *Infinite Crisis* that if the Multiverse had survived up to the present, Jason would have been a native of Earth-Eight.
Babidi

* Bibidi (original/'father')
* Barrier Sorcery
* Manipulation Sorcery
* Papparapā
* Rupturing Sorcery
* Shooting Slime through Sorcery (Anime only)
* Babidi's Spaceship
* Babidi's Crystal Ball
* Energy Meter
* Energy Suction Device

**Babidi** (バビディ; *Viz* "Bobbidi") is an extraterrestrial mage, and one of the doppelgängers of the wizard Bibidi. Proclaiming himself the wizard's son, Babidi scoured the universe for the creature Majin Boo, believing it to be his original's creation, with the intention of unsealing it to lay waste to the universe. Eventually, he succeeded, reviving Majin Boo, an act that ironically led to his own demise.

## Background

Babidi is one of Bibidi's many dopplegänger's — body doubles that the mage would create when a task required more than a single person. Babidi was an existing dopplegänger when Bibidi died, and the only remaining dopplegänger alive to inherit Bibidi's vast magical powers. Babidi would eventually force Dabra to submit to his magical abilities and serve as his henchman, in addition to recruiting a multitude of other powerful fighters from throughout the universe to serve as his forces in a bid to revive the terror, Majin Boo.

## Abilities

While physically weak, lacking strength or even the ability to utilize *ki*, Babidi was frighteningly powerful in terms of the magical arts. His skills were such that he was able to cause even Shin to view him as a threat, and while other mages exist throughout the vast Universe, Babidi's own magical power is outstandingly strong by comparison.

## Trivia

* Babidi's name is a pun on the magic phrase from the movie *Cinderella*, "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo". His original, Bibidi, and the creature Majin Boo, all derive their names from different portions of this phrase.
	+ In the VIZ English localization of the manga, his name is spelled "Bobbidi", to be more in line with the phrase his name originates from. Similar changes were made to Bibidi, Majin Boo, and Dabra.

Balloon Transformation

* Kuririn

The **Balloon Transformation** is a unique technique used by Kuririn.

## Usage

A counter technique used by Kuririn. When he's about to be struck by an attack from the ground while he is falling from the air, he inhales large amounts of air to somwhow inflate his body, decreasing the speed of his fall just enough to avoid his opponents attack. The key to using this effectively seems to be matching the timing of the inflation to the timing of the strike. .

The Beyond

The Beyond is a place between the living and the Golden Meadow. Pegasi enter it if their death is caused by the destroying silver starfire.

Known pegasi that were in the Beyond:

* Thundersky

* Silverlake

* Several warriors from Frostfire’s Black Army

* The majority of the Lake Herd army
* Ashrain
* Rockwing
* Sandwing

Arm Break

* Nappa (Inventor)

The **Arm Break** is a Physical Martial Arts Technique used by Nappa with his *Lightning Aura*.

## Usage

This is a powerful technique used by Nappa when fully releasing his *ki*. Augmenting his physical blows with his aura, the Saiyan rushes forward and cleanly slices off the arm of his opponent with physical force alone, causing great pain. He intended to use it to decapitate Tenshinhan, but the Earthling's tenacity denied him the chance.

## Trivia

* This technique has received various degrees of censorship in other media. Within the anime, Tenshinha's arm *was* snapped off, however, the blood was removed and the arm was only shown snapped off after the immediate blow, and not the moment of impact. Within the *Raging Blast* video games, due to limitations, the arm are not removed, but the victim can be seen to be in great pain.

* Darbra

**Afterimage Sorcery** is a Unique Technique that creates a transparent afterimage.

## Usage

Afterimage Sorcery is a magical skill, similar in essence to the Afterimage Fist, that allows the user to confuse their foe by creating a transparent, 3-D image of themselves. While similar in essence to the Zanzōken, its execution is different, as the technique itself is sorcery.

Azure Dragon Sword

* Bear
* Yamcha

The **Azure Dragon Sword** is the weapon of choice used by the Bear and later on, Yamcha. Both use them against Gokū during the latter's early adventures with Bulma.

## Usage

When the Bear first unsheathed his own Azure Dragon Sword to bear, it is noticeably thicker and longer than even a grown man making it easily a weapon that could surpass any ordinary human's. It's size doesn't disallow it to be moved at high speed as noticed during his brief fight with Gokū.

Yamcha later used the same sword but had a few aesthetic differences compared to the Bear's. It was also a match for Gokū during his own brief scuffle.

* Arak
* Cukatail

This palace is the home of the Hakaishin Arak, and his guide, Cukatail. It is a large temple built in the center of the island, jutting into the sky.

Barrier Sorcery

* Barrier
* Babidi
* Majin Bū (Anime only)

**Barrier Sorcery** is a defensive magical skill utilized by Babidi.

## Usage

The Barrier Sorcery is a defensive art where Babidi raises both hands above his head, and, through the incantation of "Barrier!!", generates a circular around to encase his body. The barrier is surprisingly durable, tanking *ki* attacks from even the tremendously powerful Majin Bū. However, the barrier appeared to be weak to physical blows, and the energy consumption of this technique is very high, so Babidi only uses it when in critical danger.

## Trivia

* Despite not being listed as user in the *Daizenshū*, Majin Bū used a barrier in anime filler to protect himself from attacks; due to his own magical skills, it is highly likely Barrier Sorcery was what he used.
