“Special Beam Cannon“—every DragonBallfan can hear those words while imagining Piccolo using his index finger near his forehead, charging Ki before he says them. Of the several energy attacks used in the series, this technique holds a special place in the hearts of fans.
As one of Piccolo’s signature attacks, it was obvious for Spike Chunsoft to include it in their upcoming game. But there’s a catch, and an interesting one. It appears to be a penetrating beam in the series, however,Sparking Zerobended it, literally.
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero is Does Makes it Look Cool
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zerogets a lot of things right, and twisting too. Though Piccolo’s signature attack doesn’t really bounce off the ground, it does in the latestBandai Namcogame. And it looks spectacular.

In the latest clip that began making the rounds on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Piccolo is seen using the Special Beam Cannon, which, upon hitting the ground, acts in the aforementioned way before causing the destruction.

Some fans believeSpike Chunsofthas “fixed” it in some way.
Omg they finally fixed it. Nice.
Though it has never been showcased in the anime or manga, fans still finds it “cool“.
OMG , that is ultra cool !
It indeed is, asDragon Ball: Sparking Zeromakes everything looks like a visual spectacle.
Piccolo Did Succeeded in his Mission, Though in an Odd Way
We saw him using the technique during the Saiyan arc against Goku’s brother Raditz inDragon Ball. That is one interesting instance to think about as he originally invented the Special Beam Cannon to kill his then-archenemy. He eventually succeeds in this, though in an odd way.
The upcoming game will feature episodic battles where Goku will have a choice to either work with Piccolo or not. That would be interesting to see as if Goku chooses the latter, Raditz may end up dead in some other way. Maybe it’ll be the Turtle Destruction Wave that’ll go through him.

Sadly, Piccolo himself became victim of the technique when Moro pierces him with it. Nevertheless, that is an instance seen in manga and it never came to fruition in the anime.
InXenoverseSpecial Beam Cannon is one unblockable attack. The beam can pass though solid objects too. That was one wrong depiction of it and chances are thin that Spike Chunsoft would have done something like that.
The technique has been used multiple times in the anime, what is your favorite Special Beam Cannon moment from it? We would like to know about it in the comments section below.
