The best non-combat techniques in Dragon Ball

Dragon Ball One of the most popular shonen anime needs no introduction. Fans love Goku's adventures as he transforms from a goofy young boy to the strongest warrior in his universe who has repeatedly saved the world with his heroics.

This fighting shonen has many techniques that fighters use to gain an edge in battle, but other abilities can be used outside of battle and are very useful as well. They may not be as flashy as many of the fighting techniques fans have seen in the series, but longtime fans have Dragon Ball Learn how useful these non-combat abilities are regardless.

7 prediction

See things in the future

• Notable Users: Lucky Dad, Burdock

Lucky Baba doesn't get much screen time after his moment of prominence Dragon BallBut that shouldn't negate his useful future power. She helped Goku find A Dragon Ball at the beginning of the series and predicted that this child would one day save the world, which turned out to be true.

Another unlikely person to gain future powers is Goku's father, Bardock. After being blinded by an alien he thought was dead, Bardock gained the power of the future which enabled him to witness Frieza's betrayal in a vision. It's a shame he wasn't supported by the Saiyans, who lost their lives and their planet not long after.

6 Telekinesis

Object manipulation from a distance

• Notable Users: Cell, Frieza, Grand Minister

Telekinesis is a power that is rather underrated Dragon Ball But used more often to great effect. In battle, this power was once used by Frieza to chuck a bunch of rocks, giving the Z Warriors their power. As one might expect, this technique is also very useful outside of combat.

Cell uses telekinesis to create the Cell Game Arena, and it can be argued that the Grand Minister used the same technique to create the arena that serves as the stage for the Tournament of Power. It might not be the flashiest power around, but that's the case for most non-combat abilities.

5 Telepathy

Communication is easy

• Notable Users: Piccolo, Goku, King Kai

Telepathy is a useful power Dragon Ball which is mainly used by piccolos and namekians. The former shows how fun this power can be by revealing how he overheard everything Future Trunks told Goku during their fateful meeting on Earth.

Even Goku in his damaged state is forced to use this technique to deal with both Krillin and Gohan when they show up to stop Vegeta. However, the person who uses this technique the most is undoubtedly King Kai, who trains on his planet and acts as a relay for anyone in Heaven who needs to interact with someone on Earth.

4 That sense

Makes finding powerful fighters easy

• Notable Users: Almost everyone

One of the most prevalent abilities in the Dragon Ball Martial artists and superpowered fighters rely on that sensing time and time again. This is a simple ability that helps players detect other powerful energies, helping them find allies or enemies depending on the context.

The fact that Saiyans and the Frieza Force cannot sense ki is a major handicap that allows Earthlings and other martial artists to avoid being spotted by Scouters. Ki sensing is used in an interesting way during the Android Saga when characters are unable to sense their enemies due to their synthetic nature.

3 the flight

Makes traveling much easier

• Notable Users: Almost everyone

Flying is a basic move that any warrior worth their salt should learn. This is one of the first things Gohan taught Videl, who needed to learn this move if he wanted to progress as a powerful martial artist.

Fans of the series know how important flight is in any situation. Its applications in combat are obvious, but any character who needs to move from one location to another as quickly as possible will rely on their power of flight to cover this distance as quickly as possible.

2 solar flare

A great technique for distracting enemies

• Notable Users: Goku, Krillin, Cell

One of the most prestigious Dragon Ball Techniques that always work as powerful distractions are solar flares. It turns the user's ki into a blinding flash of light that can catch enemies unaware and leave them open to a counterattack.

in Dragon Ball ZThis technique is often used by underpowered fighters to outmaneuver their pursuers. However, Cell uses this technique to distract his enemies, giving him enough time to discover Android 18 and achieve his best form.

1 Instant transmission

Getting from one place to another is a breeze

• Notable Users: Goku, Vegeta

One of the best Dragon Ball Techniques often used by Goku for non-combat purposes are tricks he learned in Yardat. Sure, his instant transmission might be the highlight of his fight against Kamehameha Cell, but the bulk of the technique's use is reserved for Goku moving from one place to another in a flash.

A big reason why fans want an official sequel Dragon Ball Super Due to recent developments in the manga, fans want to see it animated. After going to Yardat to train, Goku's rival also learns Instant Transmission, along with a few other abilities that broke the internet when Vegeta's new powers came to light.
