Ko￣sengan

A precise laser-like beam of ki is shot from both eyes. Potency varies somewhat, but most are very fast and able to nullify weak attacks and small projectiles, as well as cripple opponents and other objects.

This attack is first used by Piccolo Daimao to kill one of the gate guards of the King of the World's castle when he and his servant Piano invade the base.

In the 23rd Tenka-ichi Budoai, Tenshinhan is shown to use a variation of this attack, firing a single beam from his third eye to stun an airborne Son Goku. In the same tournament, Piccolo uses it to nullify Kuririn's twin homing beams and again in an attempt to break a grapple with Goku. Piccolo later uses it near the beginning of Son Gohan's combat training to silence Gohan's complaints about harsh conditions, and again as a surprise attack to halt Gohan's offensive.

Freeza is shown using this attack in the Freeza story arc as a means to enter the hut of the elder Namek Saichoro and again later in his battle against Goku. As well, Dr. Gero used a powerful version of this technique to destroy a large section of South City.

Non-manga usage
In the anime, Nappa performs the koengan during the Vegeta Saga when attacking the Earth's military forces while he and Vegeta are waiting for Goku to arrive. Piccolo later uses this attack while grappling with Freeza. Kami-sama also uses this technique during the Garlic Jr. Saga of the anime in an attempt to slow down Garlic Jr.'s attempt to take over the lookout. Later Android #16 uses it against Imperfect Cell in order to free himself from a stranglehold.

Coola also uses this attack in the fifth Dragon Ball Z movie, in an attempt to strike Gohan. Goku gets in the way of the blast, however.

The Beam Eye can vary in colour from red to a bright blue-tinged white.
