Double Sunday

Raditz raises both arms skyward and gathers crackling purple energy into each palm, forming twin spheres of concentrated ki. With a violent forward thrust, he releases both spheres as parallel energy waves that barrel toward his target. The sheer spread of the attack makes it difficult to dodge entirely, and the combined destructive force of two simultaneous blasts can be devastating.

Double Sunday made its mark during the very first major battle of Dragon Ball Z. When Raditz squared off against Goku and Piccolo, the two warriors found themselves completely outmatched. During the struggle, Raditz launched the Double Sunday at the pair. Goku managed to throw himself clear, but Piccolo was not so fortunate. The blast tore his left arm clean off, leaving the Namekian in agonizing pain. Piccolo would later regenerate the limb after the fight, but the moment established Raditz as a terrifying opponent and set the tone for the escalating power levels to come.

Raditz also possesses a single-handed version of the attack known as Begone!, as well as the stronger Weekend variant. Despite Raditz's relatively short time in the series, Double Sunday has become one of the most recognizable Saiyan techniques in Dragon Ball games, appearing throughout the Budokai, Tenkaichi, Xenoverse, and Legends series. In many of these games, other Saiyan characters like Nappa, Bardock, and Turles can learn the technique through customization. The attack's name follows Raditz's weekday naming convention, alongside its powered-up counterpart Weekend.
