Broly's signature energy sphere, a concentrated ball of green ki that he can fire from his palm or chest. Its power scales with Broly's rage, capable of destroying entire planets at full strength.
The Eraser Cannon begins with Broly gathering a sickly green energy around his body and compressing it into a sphere in his palm. He then launches the orb forward with a casual wave of his hand, sending it hurtling at his target. The technique's power is directly tied to how much energy Broly pours into it: a casually thrown Eraser Cannon can level a city block, while a fully charged one threatens to crack a planet in half. In some instances, Broly fires the sphere from his chest rather than his hand, adding another layer of unpredictability to his already chaotic fighting style.
The Eraser Cannon first appeared during Broly's rampage in the first Broly film, where the Legendary Super Saiyan used it liberally against Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, and Trunks. The sheer volume of Eraser Cannons Broly threw around during the battle devastated the landscape of New Planet Vegeta. His clone, Bio-Broly, demonstrated the technique as well in the fourth Broly film, firing Eraser Cannons at Android 18 during their confrontation in Jaguar's laboratory. Kale from Universe 6, who shares many characteristics with the original Broly, uses her own variant called the Gigantic Impact.
The Eraser Cannon serves as the foundation for much of Broly's moveset. The Eraser Shot fires a dozen small Eraser Cannon bullets in rapid succession. The Eraser Shot Volley alternates between hands for a wider spread. The Blaster Meteor surrounds Broly in explosive energy before releasing Eraser Cannons in every direction at once. At the top of the escalation sits the Omega Blaster, the most powerful version, which Broly used against Gohan and Goten in Broly: Second Coming. The Omega Blaster was so powerful that it took the combined Family Kamehameha of Goku, Gohan, and Goten to overcome it and blast Broly into the Sun.
