You'll see the word "ki" again and again in this list, and in case you're not too familiar with the concept, I'll try to explain it here and hopefully clear things up. "Ki" is a Japanese concept that is very difficult to exactly explain in English. It is somewhat of a personal energy/life force, although I think it goes beyond that; I'm not going to try to explain further, partially because I don't completely understand myself. :) In any case, in the DB/DBZ series, ki plays a very large role, most notably that is the source of energy that is used to produce those gigantic energy blasts, and is what allows the characters to fly. The characters also learn to "sense" ki, so that they can roughly tell how powerful someone is, who they are, where they are, whether or not they are hurt or dying, whether they are good or evil, etc. So if you see "ki attack" or "ki technique," it is a technique that is used with ki rather than physical techniques like special punches or kicks, etc.
Ki: Means energy.It is the internal energy you generate when you attack
something.
Ki-ai: The shout made when foccusing the Ki.
Ha: In the following attacks, 'ha' appears in the name occasionaly. While 'ha'
can translate to 'wave', it is also ki-ai people make when focussing
their bodies on an attack. Usually, 'ha' doesn't really have
meaning, it's just a loud sound made when your fighting.
Ken: This can
mean either 'fist' or 'technique.' As in Hokuto no. Ken: It can mean
"Fist of the Northstar" or "Northstar Techniques.
Akumaitokosen: This is a special energy
wave designed explicitly for a quick kill of one's opponent. When
the wave strikes its victim, the evil in his heart expands and
causes his heart to explode. Of course, the victim then must have
some evil in his heart for the attack to work.
Bakuhatsuha: By raising two fingers, the
user of this attack can create a large explosion that will totally
decimate the surrounding area or the ground under an
opponent.
Bakurikimaha: An ultimate ki attack,
this is is an extremely powerful ki blast shot from one hand, the
other gripping the shooting hand's wrist for
support.
Barrier: This purely defensive technique
forms a Ki-shield around the body that protects the user from Ki or
similar attacks. There are two forms of this maneuver. One is a
spherical shield that surrounds the body, the other is more of a
coating of the body.

Bang Attack: Big Bang attack is a huge ki bolt of incredible
destructive power. The person holds one flat palm forward towards
his enemy and launches the bolt.
Body Change: This technique is used by the leader of the
Ginyu-tokusentai, Ginyu. Ginyu spreads his limbs out, shouts
"Change!" and shoots out a bolt of energy, and if it hits its
target, Ginyu changes bodies with that person. Ginyu then gains the
strength and speed of his target, but not his special techniques or
ki. After changing bodies, Ginyu can still do a Body Change. Ginyu
will change bodies with the first person to hit his change beam, and
thus if someone gets in the way of his intended target, Ginyu will
change bodies with that person instead.
Bukujutsu: The ability to fly with one's ki.
Burning Attack: A powerful energy blast shot from both
hands. It is done when holding both hands forward, while doing some

though. The Fusion lasts for 30 minutes before the fused person
becomes two again.
