If you thought that all the attacks present in the manga always go in favor of the fighter, you were very wrong! Anime isn't just about fights, it's also about laughter and sometimes flops on the part of the creators.
The Dragon Ball universe is far from being spared, so we have gathered for you the nuggets (in our opinion) of the Most Useless Techniques in DBZ !
If you haven't yet read our previous article, go for it! We're talking to you about the complete opposite, namely the TOP 5 Most Useful Attacks in DBZ .
The Most Useless Attacks in Dragon Ball Z
Now let's see the attacks that were the least useful to our heroes during the exceptional DBZ adventure!
5) Game Boy Bomb
Yes, Mr. Satan 's moves count as techniques. Although creative, the latter was not effective at all against Majin Buu . To defeat his powerful pink opponent, he gave Buu a game, which he rigged to explode. Against a normal human, maybe even someone like Yamcha or Chaozu, this technique would surely send them to King Enma.
Against supernatural fighters like Buu, Cell, Frieza, and even Goku, a hand-held bomb would barely be able to scratch them. Even the game on the console didn't look interesting! 📟
4) Super Speed Dash
The Super Speed Dash was used in the other world tournament by a small fighter named Tapkar from the West Quadrant. In his match against Torbie of the Southern Quadrant, Tapkar showed off his signature technique early on, dashing all around the arena with such speed that even Goku had trouble keeping up with him.
Unfortunately, the technique drained all of Tapkar's energy and he was forced to abandon the fight due to exhaustion. Fans were never given an explanation as to what killed Tapkar, but you can bet he was probably out of breath when he died!
3) Senko Ki Blast
After losing an arm to Androids 17 and 18 in an alternate time, Gohan was forced to rely on one-handed techniques. 17 and 18 attacked him at the start of their final battle, prompting him to use his Down Burst technique to attempt to disorient them while positioning himself in the air above them.
The reason this technique is useless is that there are other moves with the same effect (like Taiyoken or Teleport). The smokescreen caused by this energy blast is of no use against enemies who can track its movements by tracking its energy.
2) Flooding technique
In the other world tournament, a fighter named Arqua from the Quadrant used his favorite technique on Goku, enveloping the entire arena in a block of water. While fighting in the water gave Arqua an advantage, Goku simply jumped out of the water and fired a Kamehameha so powerful that it dried up the water, knocking Arqua out of the ring. 🌊
Perhaps if there was some sort of barrier (see entry above) around the water to keep opponents enclosed, this technique would become one of the most useful techniques in the entire franchise.
1) Cry of Anger
Dragon Ball Z is known for its screams, especially when characters are fighting or transforming. Fans will be shocked to know that screaming is actually a technique in this universe.
Kid Buu's first act was to let out a scream that caused natural disasters all over the planet. Uub also used this technique, but after moving the World Tournament arena tiles back up. He almost got kicked out of the ring after someone hit him in the back.
Although the effects of an angry scream differ depending on the user, in the end, it is just a scream, and no one has ever died from a scream. Not even in Dragon Ball Z!
