The Special Beam Cannon is used frequently in the anime by a number of heroes and villains alike. and as a mental projection created inside Super Buu's mind. In the anime, Piccolo uses it additional times when battling Garlic Jr. When Piccolo trains with several copies of himself in the episode ' The Heavens Tremble' all of the copies fire a Special Beam Cannon at the original Piccolo, only to have it blown away. He uses this same move while training with Gohan, only it is blue in color. During the battle with Nappa in the manga, Piccolo used the two handed version of the Special Beam Cannon (a technique he has only used once), alongside Krillin's Kamehameha in an attempt to kill Nappa, however the Saiyan dodges, in the anime Piccolo instead uses the Makosen. The second time is a direct hit Full-Nelson Special Beam Cannon, which according to Raditz's scouter is even stronger than the first, killing both him and Goku in one shot thus, the technique ironically fulfilled its intended purpose to kill Goku.ĭuring his training with Piccolo, Gohan transforms into a Great Ape, so Piccolo uses the Special Beam Cannon to destroy the spaceship Goku used to come to Earth, which was projecting the image of the moon in the sky that caused the transformation. The first time it is used, Raditz dodges and is only singed by it, though he noted the fact that it managed to shatter his Battle Armor's shoulder guard is something impressive. Piccolo uses the Special Beam Cannon in a battle for the first time in the battle against Raditz. Gohan firing his version of Special Beam Cannon

In the Ocean dub, the attack is referred to as being the speed of light, as Piccolo reasoned that Raditz had to be 'faster than the speed of light' to evade it, however this statement is not in the manga, and it is therefore unlikely that it is actually that fast. Piccolo can use clones to support the technique in order to hide and give himself time to fully-charge the Special Beam Cannon. While Piccolo is left exposed when concentrating the move, the completed attack will be incredibly strong, and can pierce through foes stronger than Piccolo himself. While the move can be used uncharged, its true strength and weakness lie in the time it takes to build up energy for the focused blast. It can also be used with only one arm (as when Piccolo used it for the first time), though a two-handed, larger, Kamehameha-like version exists, and can be fired quicker.

The resulting beam is quite powerful, drilling through most targets, and exploding on the ones it can't. One remains straight while the other coils around the straight beam. When ready, the fingers are extended forward, and two thin energy beams are unleashed from the fingers. Its speed changes to the power level of the user performing the move.

The move is performed by touching the index and middle fingers of one hand to the forehead and charging enough ki to attack.
