Four Body Technique

In the 23rd Tenka-ichi Budoai, Tenshinhan used this technique to divide himself into four separate beings, each with 1/4 of his power. Once again, it was used on Goku who, after a bit of initial trouble, knocked out the Tenshinhan's with a single hit each.

In the anime, Cell used it abruptly in his battle against Son Goku during the Cell Games Tournament. Also, both Piccolo and Kuririn are shown to using a similar move during the battle with Nappa to create 2 copies each, and later on in the anime Piccolo uses it again during his fight with Gohan in the Garlic Junior Saga. In the anime, Piccolo is often shown creating 1-3 copies with which to spar. None of these events happened in the manga.
