The Masenko (魔閃光; Literally meaning "Demon Wave"), is a beam attack used by Gohan and Cell, but taught or taken by Piccolo. The attack is performed by the user placing both hands above their head with the palms facing the target and one hand in front of the other with the fingers going in opposite directions. When the user thrusts their hands forward, they call the name and fire a beam of yellow, white or orange energy. Gohan used this for the first time in the Saiyan Saga in response to Nappa killing Piccolo, to no avail, and he uses it a second time in the Frieza Saga to attack Frieza. In the Garlic Jr. Saga, Gohan uses Masenko beams to dispatch Garlic Jr.'s henchmen. Piccolo has supposedly used this move once before, but it could be mistaken for his Exploding Powerful Demon Wave technique, where he shouts "Masenko!".

Variations[]

Gohan uses some other variations of the Masenko.

  • Masenko Ball (超魔閃玉, Masenko Dama) : This is when Kid Gohan puts his hands above his head for the normal Masenko, but charges it longer until it forms a huge energy ball. He then throws it to his target, causing an incredibly large explosion. He used this attack in the Frieza Saga and in the Legacy of Goku series.
  • Super Masenko (超魔閃光, Chou Masenko) : This is a more powerful version of the Masenko used by Teen Gohan in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3.
  • Ultimate Masenko (最高の魔閃光, Saiko no Masenko): An even more powerful version of both the Masenko and the Super Masenko. Gohan starts concentrating, then fires a huge golden-yellow wave of energy that inflicts more damage than an average Masenko. It appears in the anime (yet not named and called by Gohan himself), and also appears as Gohan's ultimate move in Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit and Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World.
  • Explosive Madan (爆魔弾, Bakumadan): Adult Gohan fires a beam-like, short-ranged version of the Masenko. This move is seen in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and is one of his Blast 2 attacks in all his forms apart from his Great Saiyaman and Ultimate Gohan forms. However, unlike the normal Masenko, this attack cannot clash with any normal energy beam or energy ball. It does, however, manage to cancel them out. There is an upgraded version of the attack called Super Explosive Madan that is used by SSJ2 Adult Gohan. It takes on the form of a larger and more powerful version of the Explosive Madan with a yellow-orange flame-like appearance.
