Spirit Bomb
A sphere of pure life energy gathered from all living things across the universe.
The Spirit Bomb, often referred to as Genki Dama, is a technique taught to Son Goku by Kami. It functions by gathering energy from all living beings—plants, animals, and people—rather than drawing solely from the user's internal ki. This makes it a last-resort attack that relies on collective life force rather than solitary strength.

Lore & Background
Goku learned the technique from King Kai, and it became his most powerful attack. The philosophy behind it is distinct; instead of generating ki internally, the user acts as a conduit for external energy. Throughout its history, the Spirit Bomb has been used in pivotal moments where hope seemed lost.
Reader's Guide
The Spirit Bomb functions by gathering energy from all living beings rather than drawing it solely from within oneself. Unlike standard energy blasts, this attack grows stronger based on how many allies contribute their power. While Goku remains its most famous practitioner, other Z Fighters have assisted in gathering the energy during critical moments. In later sagas, variations like the Super Spirit Bomb were developed to overcome faster enemies who could dodge traditional charges.
