Technique Name Information
Aisuryuken
First Used By: Furyon[Frieza's part of the fusion] [Series 1, Part 36]
Everyone that can use it: Frieza
Type: Magic/Ki/Melee Attack
Element[s]: Ice, Blunt
Form[s] of Power Used: Ki, Magic

While training for his revenge on the Z-Fighters, and in retrospect the Misfits as well prior to Series 1, Frieza learns new abilities upon opening up his own approach to training methods and disevowing his father's methods, and learns to meld Magic and Ki into a powerful Ice-based melee attack that is as strong physically as Goku's Ryuken, but also with an Icy element. This move worked well in its debut, being used by Furyon against Naila as a deception tactic, and damaging them enough to almost leave them weak to a kill at one point, if it had not been for Piccolo's intervention afterwards.

Big Bang Attack
First Used By: Alex [Series 1, Part 3]
Type: Ki Formed Beam
Element[s]: Typeless
Form[s] of Power Used: Ki

Used by putting one's hand to a 90 degree angle of the wrist, the Big Bang is a slow moving, highly destructive attack. It can cause major damage and does not take very long to charge.
Body Press
First Used By: Virgil
Everyone that can use it: Anyone with a LOT of weight
Element[s]: Blunt, Crushing
Type: Melee

Larger and more weighed fighters can use their weight or fat to their advantage, especially if combined with Bukujutsu[below], to allow them to crush down on their enemy with great force. A stronger person can crush a much weaker person with this in one fell swoop, unfortunately this move is quite predictable by smarter adversaries, who love to take advantage of a miss with this to retailate themselves. Virgil is a main user of this move, and has the record of KOing Dan with it when he had gone insane in Part 9, however part of that had also been luck. Mr. Buu has also used it against Frieza in Part 32, but the effects only stunned and irritated Frieza, who broke free from it quickly.

Bukujutsu
(Fly)
First Used By: Piccolo [Series 1, Part 1]
Everyone that can use it: Most major characters
Type: Maneuvering
Form[s] of Power Used: Ki

With the concentration of ki energy, it allows the Z warriors and other Misfits[minus #17 and #18, who can fly naturally(Hikou)] to defy gravity and soar through the heavens. Almost every major character has this talent.
Burning Attack

First Used By: Vernon [Series 1, Part 22]
Everyone that can use it: Vernon
Type: Ki Formed Projectile
Element[s]: Typeless
Form[s] of Power Used: Ki

Even though the move is very flashy, it's relatively weak. The Burning Attack is primarily used as a distraction (say from...Trunks' sword). It's slow, weak, and easy to see. Perfect for shifting attention from a real threat.

Vernon also learns how to use this attack first out of the Misfits, using it against Jason at Fewcett Stadium during their training battle in Part 22.

Centaurus Flare

First Used By: Cellexnus[influenced by Dan's part of the fusion] [Series 1, Part 34]
Everyone that can use it: Cellexnus, Dan
Type: Surrounding Sugemo Attack
Element[s]: Typeless
Form[s] of Power Used: Sugemo

Another unique Sugemo techinque that is usable by Cellexnus by tapping into Dan's latent powers. This power forms a field of typeless energy, varying in strength, that completely surrounds the enemy and encloses on them. It ignores most attempts to block damage as well, and is almost impossible to dodge, unless you can use teleportation moves like Shunkan Idou, or have an extremely high amount of luck. The move is useful for make hits even on the fastest of targets, thus it's abilities can never be left out of an idea.

Changet Chump

First Used By: Jason [Series 1, Part 12]
Everyone that can use it: Jason
Element[s]: Blunt
Type: Melee


Jason's own unique melee power, and said to be a partial variation on the Body Press, the Changet Chump is done when Jason launches himself at his enemy's upper body and head, butt first. As you can imagine, this slams the target with massive force due to Jason's large size. However, like the Body Press, this is somewhat easy to counter or anticipate, so Jason normally uses it when he has the advantage of surprise.

Daichiretsuzan
First Used By: Frieza [Series 1, Part 31]
Everyone that can use it: Frieza, Cell
Type: Ki Formed Beam
Element[s]: Typeless, Blade
Form[s] of Power Used: Ki

One of Frieza's more shocking techniques, allowing him to cut large gashes in the surface of whole planets at once. He begins the move by pointing two fingers to the sky and slicing them at the air. The beam is invisible, and hard for most to dodge without sensing energy.
Death Ball
First Used By: Cell [Series 1, Part 30]
Everyone that can use it: Cell, Frieza
Element[s]: Typeless
Type: Ki Formed Projectile
Form[s] of Power Used: Ki

A staple of Frieza, he uses this attack repeatedly. It's a spectacular attack, growing from a singular point into a ball the size of a small moon. Unfortunately, it also moves with the speed of a small moon. It easily has enough energy to obliterate a planet. Cell uses this as a welcoming attack on the Misfits when they first attack him. Frieza also uses it 2 or 3 times, bombing the Department store with the other not-fighting Misfits in it, and then uses it again to try to attack them again upon learning he hadn't killed them, but Gohan severs his hand with a Kienzan before he can. The third time is when he tries to hit PAJ Nina with it, but she grabs it and shoves it back at him, damaging him severely.
Defense Down
First Used By: Paula [Series 1, Part 34]
Everyone that can use it: Paula
Type: Declines "Physical Defense" Stat
Form[s] of Power Used: PK

One of Paula's much more difficult to notice abilities with her PK, Defense Down allows her to temporarily alterate the durability of a targetted enemy, making block less physical damage. This is done by lessening the Physical Defense stat of the person, and not their powerlevel itself, thus enemies cannot easily figure out the change in their defense until they start getting belted on by someone. This can be used on a target up to 8 or so times per period of time to "layer" the effect. It is believed Paula can make someone's Defense down to around 42.5% of what it normally is, but she will not able to make it any lower, unless she trains it more. The effects wear off after about an hour of time, however, and the target's Defense will rise back to normal levels. Combined with "Offense Up"[below], this can turn the tides in a fight significantly.

Demon's Cage
First Used By: Frieza [Series 1, Part 33]
Everyone that can use it: Frieza
Element[s]: Fire, Dark, Edged
Type: Energy Absorbing Restrainment Field (does bonus damage to fusions proportional to the number of people part of the fusion)
Form[s] of Power Used: Magic

Another powerful move Frieza holds, supposably given to by the demon Lord he now serves. This moves summons a blood red cage of energy around Frieza's target, holding them in one remote area. Any PK, Ki, Magic or Sugemo attacks fired that hit the cage itself are absorbed and the energy is transferred to Frieza's own reserves, allowing him a cheap recharge. In addition, Frieza can command the bars to make cutting slash waves at his foe, leaving cuts and slashes on their body. This also appears to do bonus damage to fusions as well, as Gogeron takes heavy damage from a hit of this later. This move however is not a completely replacement of his Hokakudan[the restrainment field he used on Goku on Namek], because the user can still find a way to escape, plus Frieza cannot manipulate the position of the cage itself, or make it self-destruct.

Diaris Wave
First Used By: Paula [Series 1, Part 21]
Everyone that can use it: Paula
Element[s]: Holy
Type: Holy/Ki Energy Attack
Form[s] of Power Used: Ki

A special new move Paula learned in her battle with Alexmus on Harnga Island, she in fact uses this to finish him off. She gathers a serious amount of energy in her hands, and then puts her fists together, and fires off a large Holy-elemental blast of energy that tears into the enemy with great force. This move was also used twice further in the battle against Frieza, Cell and Alexmus, but it was not able to lay a killing blow this time around.
Final Flash
Final Flash

First Used By: Vegeta [Series 1, Part 3]
Everyone that can use it: Vegeta
Type: Ki Formed Beam
Element[s]: Typeless
Form[s] of Power Used: Ki

An ability still as of now unique to Vegeta, it is quite similar to the Kamehameha (although taking much longer to charge and causing more damage over a larger area). It is somewhat slow-moving, but one of the most powerful attacks in the DB series. In Misfits, he is currently still the only one who can use the attack, now able to use a foot variant of it against his enemies if needed for extra support.

Fusion Dance
First Used By: Alex, Clint, Jason, Vernon, Devin, Dusty, Dan, Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo [Series 1, Part 34]
Everyone that can use it: Goku, Vegeta, Alex, Vernon, Clint, Jason, Dusty, Dan, Piccolo, Devin
Type: Other

When two warriors find that they are overwhelmed by a greater power, they have little choice but to fuse into one. This is done by performing the fusion dance, which when done correctly, will create a being that is much more powerful than the two subjects. The dance is fairly simple: both subjects side-step towards each other with identical movements while saying the word "Fusion." When they get next to each other they touch index fingers. The fused warrior takes on the characteristics of both involved, but usually looks more like one than the other.

Only twice so far in Misfits has this been ever used a great deal. The first time was in Part 22 when Goku decided to teach everyone else the ability for future battles, allowing Clint ot think of 6-way fusion, forming Gogeron from Goku, Vegeta, Alex, Clint, Vernon and Jason. Later on in Part 34, they use it in an actual fight to fend off Cellexnus, at least until they are tricked with the Potara and forced into Cellexnus, becoming Cellgeron.

Frieza Beam
First Used By: Frieza [Series 1, Part 31]
Everyone that can use it: Frieza, Cell
Type: Ki Formed Beam
Element[s]: Typeless, Piercing
Form[s] of Power Used: Ki

A move that is almost invisible, by the weak and slow eye. The attack can blow up a whole mountain and still not be powered up. It also can easily pierce through targets like a speeding spear. This move is used much by Frieza, but Cell also has the ability to use this just as well.
Golden Hyper Armor
First Used By: Frieza [Series 1, Part 32]
Everyone that can use it: Frieza
Type: Magic-based Defensive Buff
Form[s] of Power Used: Magic

Frieza's magic training in Hell before Misfits has brought him great benefits in addition to the Aisuryuken. One of the most effective powers he holds is the "Jai'jegha-Haipa-Ermnor", or "Golden Hyper Armor" in the Ice-jin tounge. This powerful ability appears to coat Frieza in a golden hue over his entire body. However the power is not really a physical type of armor that increases his defenses, but more of a special magic that reduces all damages done to him by 3/4s[or 75%]. This allows Frieza to stand against much stronger enemies easily for a time, and gives him a major advantage against foes that are more close to his own powerlevel. He also uses it in preparation to his transformation to his newly acquired fifth form, disallowing the Misfits to stop him before attaining the transformation, where he became even more fierce than ever, and even made Super Saiya-jin 2 Mystic Gohan struggle with him for a long while. The only true downside to this power is that in addition to the initial cost to Frieza's magic reserve, it will also drain his remaining magic away at a steady pace, until it runs out, in which the armor will fade away until he can gather enough magic to do it again. Nina proves this by hit him with Magic-draining spells until he runs dry on magic energy, causing the armor to fade away, and almost resulting in her killing him once in the battle.
Henka Beam
First Used By: Mr. Buu [Series 1, Part 32]
Everyone that can use it: Mr. Buu
Type: Beam
Form[s] of Power Used: Magic

When you just can't wait to get to the candy store. This is one of Buu's unique attacks that gives him a burst of power. Basically, he converts a target into some sort of food item (usually candy) and devours them, absorbing their energy.
Hikou
First Used By: #17 [Series 1, Part 1]
Everyone that can use it: #17, #18
Type: Maneuvering
Form[s] of Power Used: Unknown

Hikou is the ability to fly around without the use of Ki. Only the androids can do this at this point in time.
Hokaku
First Used By: Nina [Series 1, Part 1]
Everyone that can use it: Nina, Dan[with Shrinking Machine]
Type: Size Manipulation
Form[s] of Power Used: Magic

The ability to shrink a target to a smaller size, reducing their fighting ability, and other various stats, and also making them easier to contain inside of a small object like a flask or jar. Nina has the ability to use it naturally, and it is the main reason Radditz had been taken back with her into her own time in Part 1. Also, Dan can use this with the help of his Shrinking machine.
 

Hollywood Pegasus

First Used By: Dan [Series 1, Part 36]
Everyone that can use it: Dan
Type: Piercing Holy/Dark Elemental Sugemo Attack
Element[s]: Holy, Dark
Form[s] of Power Used: Sugemo

Holly Pegasus is the first Sugemo attack Dan uses on his own, and without influence from Alexmus's own aura. He summons a large and wide storm of Holy and Dark elemental energy that expands out wards in width as it goes further ahead. The damage from this move can be quite devastating even if the enemy is resistant to these elements.

Kamehameha
First Used By: Goku [Series 1, Part 1]
Everyone that can use it: Goku, Alex, Jason, Devin, Nina, Clint, Vernon, Gohan
Element[s]: Typeless
Type: Ki Energy Beam
Form[s] of Power Used: Ki

Devised by Muten-Roshi in the original Dragonball, the Kamehameha is an extension of one's Ki that is expelled through one's hands. Hand position is generally in the shape of an open clam. The direction of the blast can be controlled in mid-air, and combined with other techniques becomes quite devastating.

In Misfits, various characters learn the Kamehameha by seeing it used, much like Goku learned it from watching Muten-Roshi. Alex and Vernon are such examples, and use the attack frequently in battle. Clint, Nina, Devin, Jason and Gohan also have the ability to use this attack, but don't always use it, or they will use it combine with another elemental, such as Nina's Sei[Holy] Kamehameha attack, or Naila's Chou Sei Kamehameha, which came very close to destroying Cellegeron once.

Kienzan
First Used By: #18 [Series 1, Part 13]
Everyone that can use it: Goku, Vegeta, Vernon, Frieza, Gohan
Element[s]: Typeless, Edged
Type: Ki Formed Cutting Projectile
Form[s] of Power Used: Ki

A flat and circular plane of ki energy, thin as a knife, with the ability to slice through much that it hits, including sometimes even stronger targets. The kienzan is considered to be somewhat a trump card in any fighter's arsenal, as it can be used for their good or for their disadvantage, as Frieza learned in DBZ itself. Each person has their own unique type of Kienzans. Vernon's can split into several Kienzan by surprise, helpful against creatures like Cell, while Frieza's have the ability to seek out his enemies.
Loud Yell
First Used By: Dusty [Series 1, Part 5]
Everyone that can use it: Dusty, Jason, Alexmus
Element[s]: Typeless
Type: Unique

One of Dusty unique abilities is the power to raise his volume is such levels that it's considered inhuman, and before even becoming a Misfit. Dusty learned eventually to manipulate this ability to his advantage by using it as a stun move, much like Taikoyen, except against the foe's HEARING instead of their Sight. This can also overload Saiya-jin and especially Namkeian hearing, since they have much more enhanced hearing than humans do. Jason has also used a less powerful form on Dan once, and Alexmus has stolen the ability from Dusty and used it against Vernon in his first battle with the Misfits, allowing him to take Vernon's own abilities from him while he was stunned.

Makankosoppo
First Used By: Piccolo [Series 1, Part 21]
Everyone that can use it: Piccolo, Cell
Element[s]: Typeless, Piercing
Type: Drilling Ki Beam also with Addition Explosive Charge
Form[s] of Power Used: Ki

A highly condensed beam of energy, the Makankosoppo can pierce the strongest of armor. It is cast by putting ones first two fingers on the forehead. The Makankosoppo is faster than a bullet, but takes a few minutes to charge to a reasonable strength. Piccolo uses this once during the battle with Alexmus on Harnga Island, but Alexmus screams the blast back at him, taking Piccolo's arm off and causing him to back off for a while. Cell also has the ability, and uses it while in the form of Furyon during part 36, in an attempt to kill Gohan and the injured Naila once and for all, but fails.
Meku Claw
First Used By: Clint [Series 1, Part 30]
Everyone that can use it: Clint
Type: Attack Counter Ability
Form[s] of Power Used: Sugemo

In Alex's words, stated to be one of the most 'deceptive' techinques created by Clint, he learns this relatively early in Misfits, but doesn't understand it's truer uses until much later. When Clint does this, he crosses his arms into an 'L' shape, but tilts them to his left about 45 degrees. When done, any energy based attack moving towards him is halted in advance, regardless of its' strength, and then Clint can gain control of the attack, by rotating his crossed arms 90 degrees right, sending the attack back at his enemy with up to as much as five times the original strength. He also adds a tracking attribute to the attack, so his foe cannot dodge it so easily. This can turn powerful enemy attacks into their own demise if utilized right.
Offense Up
First Used By: Paula [Series 1, Part 34]
Everyone that can use it: Paula
Type: Raises "Physical Attack" Stat
Form[s] of Power Used: PK

One of Paula's much more difficult to notice abilities with her PK, Offense Up allows her to temporarily alterate the strength of herself or a targetted ally, making them do more physical damage. This is done by raising the Physical Attack of the person, and not their powerlevel itself, thus enemies cannot easily figure out the change in the target's attack until they start getting belted on by them. This can be used on a person up to 8 or so times per period of time to "layer" the effect. It is believed Paula can make someone's Attack up to around 225% of what it normally is, but she will not able to make it any higher, unless she trains it more. The effects wear off after about an hour of time, however, and the person's Attack will drop back to normal levels. Combined with "Defense Down"[above], this can turn the tides in a fight significantly.

People's Elbow
First Used By: The Rock
Everyone that can use it: The Rock, Dusty
Element[s]: Blunt
Type: Melee

Oh come now, if you don't know what THIS move does, you've been living under a rock for the last 5 years. This move is a speciality finisher move used by the Rock, first developed in his wrestling matches. It is basically a much more powerful form of an elbow drop. Sometimes the Rock can put ki into the move to do extra damage. Usually if he has his elbow pads on, he'll even take them off before using the move.

PK Freeze
First Used By: Paula [Series 1, Part 33]
Everyone that can use it: Paula
Type: Ice/Wind-Elemental PK Energy Attack
Element[s]: Ice, Wind
Form[s] of Power Used: PK

One of the first PK attacks shown to us in Misfits, Paula can summon a large blast of artic cold winds that can freeze enemies within seconds of impact. It also does a hefty amount of damage if the enemy is weak to ice-elemental attacks.

PK Fire
First Used By: Paula [Series 1, Part 34]
Everyone that can use it: Paula
Type: Fire Elemental PK Energy Attack
Element[s]: Fire
Form[s] of Power Used: PK

Paula's psychic ability to use the element of fire to her own advantage. Paula can spread a wave of continuous fire at enemies, roasting them alive. She can also manipulate the attack into a more concentrated and stronger attack, except that it has much less spread and can usually only hit one enemy. Flammable and Fire-weak enemies are easily devastated by this move.

PK Shield
First Used By: Paula [Series 1, Part 35]
Everyone that can use it: Paula
Type: PK-formed Ki, PK, Magic and Sugemo blocking energy Shield
Element[s]: None
Form[s] of Power Used: PK

First revealed to us in the battle against Alexmus, Frieza and Cell, the PK Shield summons a pink field that envelops the body of the user. Depending on the level of power, it has the ability to deflect various energy attacks belong to the four types of mystic power in Misfits. However weaker leveled shields can be easily destroyed by a strong strike of lightning. Paula is the first user of the ability, and also the first Misfit to use it, giving her advantages against otherwise nasty attacks. It also has the ability to sometimes DEFLECT energy attacks back at enemies. However physical blows, and man-made laser/energy weapons will not be blocked by the shield, thus Paula must still be on alert against those types of attacks.

Polymorphism
First Used By: Shenron [Series 1, Part 16]
Everyone that can use it: Shenron
Type: Unknown
Form[s] of Power Used: Magic

During a more chaotic time in Misfits, Shenron had taken to playing practical jokes on his fellow Misfits. One such trick was to turn Alex into a Rhinoceros, Vernon into a fish, and Vegeta into a Hamster. He had specific reasons of why he turned them into the creatures above, but he no doubt has the power to screw with the form of a near-equal or less level creature, hence the name of the attack.

Rock Bottom
First Used By: The Rock
Everyone that can use it: The Rock, Dusty
Element[s]: Blunt
Type: Melee

Oh come now, if you don't know what THIS move does, you've been living under a rock for the last 5 years. This move is a specialty finisher move used by the Rock, first developed in his wrestling matches. The move is basically a much more powerful form of both a clothsline and a powerbomb/body slam. The Rock can use this on an airborne foe for devastating amounts of damage if he is strong enough.

Sagitta Halt
First Used By: Dalexnus[influenced by Dan's part of the fusion] [Series 1, Part 32]
Everyone that can use it: Dalexnus, Dan
Type: Time Alteration
Form[s] of Power Used: Sugemo

Learned from tapping into Dan latent powers while fused with him, Dalexnus is able to use this move a good deal against the Misfits, and the power it a major player in Dalexnus's ability to survive, and also used later a few times while he part of Cellexnus and Furyon. This move allows him to slow down the flow of time substantially around one enemy, causing them to lag in reaction, drastically cutting down their speed. In fact, he is able to even slow down Paula and Naila pretty well by using it on them, enough to causing the tides of battle to go back and forth many times. However the main weakness is that the opponent must normally be in the user's line of sight, so if the enemy can disrupt their concentration, or get out of view, they will get free of the move.
Shunkan Idou
First Used By: Devin [Series 1, Part 31]
Everyone that can use it: Goku, Devin
Type: Maneuvering

The ability of a creature to move from one location to another without the passage of time. This particular technique requires a person to lock on to. Anyone touching the subject when they are phasing to a new location will be teleported as well. As of now, only Goku and Devin are capable of using this move, allowing them to cover a great distance in little time.
Sleepiness Bubble
First Used By: Alexmus
Everyone that can use it: Alexmus
Type: Containment
Form[s] of Power Used: Magic

Alexmus's unique power that allows him to trap targets inside of a bubble of energy that on contact encapsulates the target, and weakening them to 10% of their normal powerlevels, and also discharges a gas that puts the victim into a deep sleep. The gas only works upon contact, and will not work again if the victim wakes up. Alexmus used these bubbles to capture Paula and Nina in Part 20, when he realized he needed to capture them for his Lord. Unfortunately, they are not well suited to extremely quick jumps in powerlevel, as demonstrated when both finally broke out of them in anger to Alex's defeat in Part 21.

Stone Cold Stunner
First Used By: Stone Cold
Everyone that can use it: Stone Cold, Dusty
Element[s]: Blunt
Type: Melee

Oh come now, if you don't know what THIS move does, you've been living under a rock for the last 5 years. This move is a specialty finisher move used by Stone Cold, first developed in his wrestling matches. Stone Cold suddenly kicks the enemy in the stomach hard, stunning them shortly, while he wraps his arms around his foe's head, and then slams then down into the ground with massive force. With his stronger power, he can break a much weaker enemy's neck in a single blow if he executes the move right.

Tail Absorption
First Used By: Alexmus [Series 1, Part 20]
Everyone that can use it: Alexmus, Cell
Element[s]: Piercing
Type: Unique

Both Alexmus and Cell possess a tail that allows them to stab into their adversaries and drain them of their lifeforce, or even completely sucking the victim into them. Cell's tail was a vital tool to his survival in the original DBZ, allowing him to absorb humans, and then #17 and #18 to reach his perfect state. Alexmus's tail on the other hand simply steals away some of his foe's lifeforce, and the knowledge of various abilities of his victim. Because of this, he was able to absorb Clint's power to emulate SSJ3, giving him a boost to his power to later overtake Dusty, Vernon, and then even Goku and Vegeta in similar ways, gain their moves, including SSJ4, Dusty's screaming powers, and the ability to both mask and sense ki signatures. He also does this to Devin and Jason also, and is rumored to the the reason he knows the Darkness Flash, and better knowledge of the Changet Chump later during his rematch with the Misfits alongside Frieza and Cell. He tries to absorb Alex's powers in that fight, but fails dues to Alex's determination.

Taiyoken
First Used By: Vernon [Series 1, Part 15]
Everyone that can use it: Vernon, Goku, Alexmus, Cell
Type: Unique
Form[s] of Power Used: Sugemo

Cast by fanning ones hands over the face. Generates a tremendous amount of light, temporarily blinding any nearby enemies. It's a fairly easy trick, and many of the Z warriors use it. Goku also learns to combine it with Devin's newly learned Darkness Flash, causing Cell great mental and spiritual pain, and causing him to lose most of his power for the time being.

Zanzoken
First Used By: Goku [Series 1]
Everyone that can use it: EVERYONE :P
Type: Maneuvering/Speed

Dematerializing and quickly moving to another spot close by. Leaves a silhouette of the person for a short period of time in their original location, causing the "blur" effect. Most major characters in Misfits have this ability. This is also known as the original Afterimage Jackie Chun first introduced in the original Dragonball series. Most DBZers commonly call this "teleporting", but in truth, it's not teleportation at all, it just looks that way to the naked eye.
