Psychic Rock Throw

Directory: Techniques → Offensive Techniques

Psychic Rock Throw (サイキックロックスロー, Saikikku Rokku Surō) is a technique used by characters that practice and specialize in the use of telekinesis or psychokinesis.

Overview[]

Death Psychokinesis 9 — Frieza throws Katchi Katchin at Top

The performer uses telekinesis to lift a medium-sized to large boulder (tiles or debris) from the ground nearby, and then throws it at the opponent, inflicting moderate damage. If the object is made of a substance that is even stronger then regular stone, then the attack will do much more damage.

Usage[]

The technique is first used by Guldo, in the anime. Mad at Krillin and Gohan, who he paralyzed, Guldo uses his telekinetic abilities to fire several rocks at them.

Other characters that practice telekinesis are able to perform similar techniques, like Frieza who uses it as a diversion to capture Goku within his Imprisonment Ball during their battle on Namek.^[4]

Later, Majin Vegeta uses a similar technique to throw huge rocks on Majin Buu while he was powering up after his arrival on the battlefield.^[5]

Death Psychokinesis 8 — Frieza using his Death Meteor to lift Kachi Katchin debris during the Tournament of Power

During the Tournament of Power in the anime, Frieza uses the technique to hurl stones made of pieces of Kachi Katchin that had broken off the Tournament of Power Arena at Top. As he was using telekinesis to hurl the available Kachi Katchin debris, he was not disqualified by either the Zenos or Grand Minister for his use of the technique.

During the Black Star Dragon Ball Saga, Mutchy utilizes a variation where he uses his power to bring objects to life to animate several tiles which he telekinetically stacks on top of Trunks in an attempt to crush him under the combined weight of the step pyramid he made using the tiles.
