Vegeta's one-handed green energy wave from Dragon Ball GT, fired against Super 17. A spiritual successor to the Final Flash, developed after years of continued training.
Unlike the two-handed Final Flash, the Final Shine Attack is fired from a single hand. Vegeta extends his right arm to the side and charges a bright green energy sphere in his palm. When the sphere reaches critical mass, he thrusts his hand forward and releases it as a huge green energy wave. The technique is faster to deploy than the Final Flash due to requiring only one arm, though it still packs devastating destructive power. The distinctive green color sets it apart visually from Vegeta's other signature attacks.
Vegeta debuted the Final Shine Attack during the Super 17 Saga of Dragon Ball GT. When the combined Android threat of Super 17 proved impervious to conventional attacks, Vegeta powered up and unleashed the green beam at point-blank range. The blast tore through the city landscape and created a massive explosion. However, Super 17's energy absorption ability rendered the attack useless, as the android simply absorbed the beam and added its power to his own. Despite its failure against that particular opponent, the technique demonstrated that Vegeta had continued developing new moves even in the GT timeline, building on the principles of the Final Flash while creating something distinctly new.
The Final Shine Attack gained significant popularity through its appearances in Dragon Ball video games, particularly the Budokai Tenkaichi series and Xenoverse games, where it serves as one of Vegeta's ultimate attacks. In Dragon Ball Heroes, both Xeno Vegeta and Xeno Vegito have used the technique, and Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta can access it as well. The attack has also been given to player characters in the Xenoverse series, making it a widely available skill. Despite originating in GT, which has a complicated relationship with the main canon, the Final Shine Attack has earned its place in Vegeta's arsenal through sheer popularity and visual appeal.
