Guldo Special

The Guldo Special is a two-step technique that compensates for Guldo's relatively low physical power with creative psychic ability. First, Guldo concentrates his psychic energy and fires a beam that surrounds the target in a purple, cloud-like aura, completely immobilizing them. This is the Paralysis portion. With his opponent frozen helpless, Guldo then uses his telekinesis to uproot a nearby tree and sharpen it into a massive stake. He launches this improvised weapon directly at his paralyzed victim with lethal intent.

It's a clever, if gruesome, strategy. Guldo knows he can't match most opponents in direct combat, so he uses his unique psychic abilities to create a situation where raw power doesn't matter.

Guldo deploys the technique against Gohan and Krillin during the early stages of the Namek Saga. After his Time Freeze ability fails to give him a decisive advantage against the two fighters, Guldo resorts to the Guldo Special, successfully paralyzing both of them in mid-air. He summons a massive sharpened tree trunk and sends it hurtling toward the helpless pair.

The stake is seconds from impaling Gohan and Krillin when Vegeta intervenes. In one clean motion, the Saiyan Prince severs Guldo's head from his body, killing him instantly. Guldo's head rolls on the ground, still conscious for a brief moment before Vegeta finishes the job with an energy blast. It's a brutal but efficient execution that immediately establishes Vegeta as a temporary ally with his own agenda on Namek. As Guldo himself quipped before the technique: "Shish kebab anyone? Personally, I prefer mine well done."

In the Budokai Tenkaichi and Raging Blast series, the Guldo Special is Guldo's Ultimate Blast, faithfully recreating the paralysis-to-impalement sequence. The Xenoverse games rename it to Paralysis and swap the tree trunk for an ice pillar that freezes the opponent on impact. Custom characters can learn the technique through Parallel Quests. In Sparking! Zero, it returns as part of Guldo's moveset, keeping the Ginyu Force's least physically imposing member relevant through the power of psychic trickery.
