10 Weakest Dragon Ball Attacks The Main Characters Need To Stop Using
----- ADS-----
Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball begins as a fantastical anime that still features relatively grounded martial arts. Goku may engage in unconventional training and face larger-than-life opponents, but his fighting style and combat usually rely upon smart strategies and martial arts fundamentals. Dragon Ball grows progressively heightened in this regard, especially when Dragon Ball Z comes around, and it’s easy to forget that Goku can’t even fly until Dragon Ball’s final episodes. Dragon Ball becomes increasingly reliant on powerful ki attacks and radical transformations that celebrate a more sensational style of action.
Many of these energy attacks have become staples of the series, such as Piccolo’s Special Beam Cannon, Krillin’s Destructo Disc, Goku’s Spirit Bomb, and more general maneuvers like the Kamehameha and Solar Flare. These are valuable tactics and it makes sense for them to grow more powerful and stay in rotation. Alternatively, there are other attacks that are much weaker, riskier, or just fail to justify themselves that continue to pop up in battle, despite better judgment telling individuals that it’s long overdue to retire these techniques.
To be clear, the Evil Containment Wave is an incredibly powerful attack that kept Demon King Piccolo at bay for hundreds of years. However, its application has been much spottier in recent years throughout Dragon Ball. The Evil Containment Wave is a complex technique that can lock away wicked individuals, provided that there’s a vessel and seal to finish the procedure. The Evil Containment Wave requires an incredible amount of energy and concentration, and it’s likely to kill its user if it’s not successfully done. This is exactly what happens when Master Roshi tries to use it against King Piccolo in the original Dragon Ball and this extreme liability often doesn’t seem to be worth it.
