  • Afterimage Technique
rdfs:comment
  • Zanzoken was created by Korin and first seen used during 21st Tenkaichi Budokai when Jackie Chun fought Goku. In an early English dub of Dragon Ball, he calls this technique "The Devil's Afterimage", but originally there was no 魔 ("Ma") character that marked all "devil" techniques. During 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai Jackie Chun used it against Tien as well. In the anime but not in the manga, Krillin also used it once against Goku when they were pitted against each other.

  • Zanzoken was created by Korin and first seen used during 21st Tenkaichi Budokai when Jackie Chun fought Goku. In an early English dub of Dragon Ball, he calls this technique "The Devil's Afterimage", but originally there was no 魔 ("Ma") character that marked all "devil" techniques. Jackie Chun is able to perform a "Tajū Zanzōken" (多重残像拳, literally, "Multiple Afterimages/Multiple Images Remaining Behind Skill"), where he spins around his opponent, leaving a lot of afterimages of himself. In this form, it is hard to tell which one is the real Jackie Chun. Goku adapted this technique in the 21st Budokai and was able to produce more afterimages than Jackie Chun, in an attempt to fool him with his own attack. During 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai Jackie Chun used it against Tien as well. In the anime but not in the manga, Krillin also used it once against Goku when they were pitted against each other. Later almost every character learns Zanzoken, and its usage is not even marked by anything, so it meets the same destiny as flight. In Dragon Ball GT, Goku and Vegeta used this to distract Omega Shenron while attempting fusion dance.
