Jeice's signature attack from the Ginyu Force, a fiery red energy sphere that he hurls at opponents like a deadly fastball, befitting his sporty persona.
Jeice forms a bright red or orange energy sphere in his palm, compressing ki into a dense, volatile ball before hurling it at his target. The technique draws comparisons to a cricket or baseball pitch, fitting Jeice's reputation as an athlete from Space Australia. The Crusher Ball travels at high speed and explodes on contact with devastating force.
The sphere's compact size and high velocity make it harder to deflect than larger, slower energy attacks. Jeice can also curve and redirect the ball mid-flight with subtle ki manipulation, adding an element of unpredictability to an already fast projectile.
Jeice debuts the Crusher Ball on Namek during the Ginyu Force's confrontation with the Z Fighters. He uses the technique alongside Burter's speed-based attacks as the two work in tandem to overwhelm Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta. The Crusher Ball serves as Jeice's primary ranged option while Burter engages in close combat.
Despite the Ginyu Force's fearsome reputation across the galaxy, their techniques prove insufficient against Goku upon his arrival. The Crusher Ball, while impressive against mid-tier fighters, barely registers against a warrior fresh from 100x gravity training. Jeice watches in horror as Goku dismantles his partner Burter effortlessly, and his own attacks fare no better.
The Crusher Ball has endured in Dragon Ball media primarily through video games, where Jeice is a consistently popular character thanks to the Ginyu Force's entertaining personalities. The technique typically appears as his primary special attack, rendered as a distinct red energy sphere that stands out visually from the blue and yellow ki blasts that dominate most characters' arsenals.
In the Budokai Tenkaichi series, Jeice can combine the Crusher Ball with Burter's attacks for devastating team combos, reflecting their partnership on Namek. The technique also appears in Xenoverse and Legends, where its fast execution speed makes it a practical choice for players who favor quick, aggressive combat styles.
