Cho￣ Bakuretsu Maha

Piccolo's trump card in his fight against Son Goku near the end of the 23rd Tenka-ichi Budo￣kai; a massive explosion is created with the user as the nexus. While having a very large radius, the attack did little damage to Goku (who fended against the attack) and left Piccolo almost completely drained of ki.

Vegeta also uses a similar attack in the late stages of his first battle with Goku, Kuririn, Son Gohan, and Yajirobe. He utilized it as a final self-destruction technique against Majin Buu when he was possesed by Babidi as Majin Vegeta.

This attack is similar to the "Jibaku" technique, except that it doesn't also kill the user of the technique.

Non-manga usage
In the Dragon Ball movie "Return of Cooler", Piccolo also uses this attack to destroy a large number of Cooler's robot soldiers.
