Destructive Wave

The Exploding Powerful Demon Wave is a very powerful blast shot from one hand, with the other arm supporting the one that is firing the attack.

It was Piccolo Daimao￣s most potent attack and he used it against Goku twice. The first time Tenshinhan intervened and carried Goku out of the way of the blast, but the second blast Piccolo Daimao￣fired hit the young warrior dead on and heavily injured him, as it was not as powerful as the first blast.

In the near ending of the 23rd Tenka-ichi Budo￣kai, Piccolo Junior is seen using this ability as a final attempt against Goku to blow him to bits. Piccolo later uses it, without effect, against Raditz when they first meet in the desert, and twice during his battle with Android #17.

Piccolo also has a variation of this attack, called Tsuihidan, which is fired the same way and tracks its target. It does not have the same power though, as it only had enough power to disable one of Piccolo's arms.

In the Budo￣kai series of videogames, it appears as a one-handed orange burst of energy.
