Galick Gun
A violet beam of royal Saiyan power that rivals the Kamehameha.
The Galick Gun is a signature energy attack famously wielded by Vegeta of the Saiyan race. Resembling a massive, violet-hued beam of concentrated ki, it serves as his primary offensive technique during the early stages of his introduction to Earth.

Lore & Background
The attack requires the user to cup their hands at their side, gathering a massive amount of spiritual energy before thrusting them forward. The resulting beam is not only destructive but also carries a psychological weight; it is often fired with a declaration of dominance. Throughout the series, Vegeta has utilized variations of this beam, sometimes altering its size or intensity depending on his battle state, yet the core mechanics and violet hue remain constant identifiers of the Prince's power.
In Their Own Story
The air didn't just crackle; it screamed. Vegeta stood atop the shattered crater, his boots grinding into scorched earth as he drew the planet's very atmosphere into a violent vortex of violet light. 'Haaaaaa!' The roar tore from his throat, shaking the canyon walls. With a sudden, brutal thrust of his palms, the Galick Gun erupted—not merely firing, but *unleashing* a roaring torrent of purple annihilation that carved a path through the sky, leaving ionized wind in its wake as it hunted down its target with ruthless precision.
Reader's Guide
The Galick Gun is less about balance and more about overwhelming force. To execute it, the user plants their feet firmly, cupping hands at the hip to violently compress ki into a swirling, violet core. Unlike the fluid gathering of the Kamehameha, this charge feels aggressive, often accompanied by a harsh, static-laden roar that warns of imminent destruction. Upon release, the arms thrust forward with a sharp, snapping motion, sending out a focused, high-velocity beam designed to penetrate rather than just push. While visually mirroring Goku's technique, the Galick Gun is depicted as jagged and more direct, embodying Vegeta's refusal to hold back.
