Genki-dama

Kaio-ken
Allows Goku to gain a temporary boost in power and speed. However, if done too often, can damage/exhaust the user.

Super powerful "dragon-fist" technique. 

Instant transmission
Instant travel, even to other planets.




  Goten

Kame Kame Ha
Goten's own version of the Kamehameha.

Kamikaze Ghost Attack
Allows Gotenks to create several copies of himself (ghosts). Each ghost causes severe damage.

Chobakuretsumaha
Creates a large energy blast that destroys everything standing in its way. 

Gekiretsukodan
A large spherical energy projectile. 

Makankosappo
A yellow, straight energy blast (with a spiraling one around it). Takes a little while to charge.

A powerful energy projectile that is almost impossible to doge and can be done only after excessive charging. Self-sacrificing. 

Shinkikoho
Tien's improved version of the Kikoho. 

Shiyoken
Gives Tien up to 4 arms for better, stronger, faster attacks. 



  Trunks

Finish Buster
A quick and powerful move used to finish off still-breathing
opponents.

Burning Attack
Mirai Trunks' ultra-bright, yellow attack that (while weak) is very easily distracting.

Bakuhatsuha
A ball of energy generated around the person destroying everything in its area. 

Big Bang Attack
The Big Bang Attack is a large energy beam that is slow moving but extremely powerful. 

Final Flash
The Final Flash is a powerful blast oft-used to finish off opponents (hence the "final").

Soukidan
Energy projectile that can be controlled so that it follows the opponent. 



Others

Bukujutsu
Using one's ki to fly.

Chou Kame Hame Ha

Chou Masenko
Gohan's stronger Masenko, charged up. (The one he destroyed Cell with.)

Dodonpa
Using one's ki to fly.

Eye Beam
A beam shoots out from the user's eyes.

Frieza Beam
Beam shot fom the fore and middle fingers. (ex. Makankosappo, but it's red and equal in power.)

Fusion
As a last resort, two similarly-powered warriors may "fuse" with one another. This is done by correctly doing a special "fusion dance" and then touching fingers. After 30 minutes however, the fusion is worn out and the single all-powerful warrior is reverted again to two less-powerful warriors. 

Kakusandan
A ki blast that fires into the air and then bursts into numerous fragments that rain down upon enemies.

Kamaiya-Maya Wave
Less powerful version of Kame Hame Ha.

The person that uses this technique can travel the speed of light, thus making them invisible. 

Renzoku Senkoudan
Fires many, many ki packets that engulf the opponent and cause massive damage. 

Shunkan Idou

Taiyoken
Initially used by Tien, the Taiyoken causes an intense bright light that blinds everyone around.

Telepathy
Communication over long distances via the mind's power. 

Triple Strike
Tien and Krillin's technique to make 2 other duplicates of ones self, splitting their power, making it easier to surround the opponent in lots of punches. They use it on the fight with Nappa. Cell also uses it on Goku. 

Zanzoken
The ability to move so fast that the person leaves their image at a location while he is really elsewhere. "Blurring".
