Recoome Eraser Gun

Technique

Recoome's devastating mouth blast that charges pink energy and fires a massive beam capable of distorting a planet's landscape. Nearly killed Vegeta on Namek before Krillin intervened.

Pink Death from the Ginyu Force

The Recoome Eraser Gun is pure Ginyu Force showmanship turned lethal. Recoome charges a mass of pink energy in his mouth and releases it as an enormous beam that can erase practically anything in its path. The blast carries enough raw force to warp the terrain of a planet, carving massive craters into the landscape even from glancing contact.

True to Recoome's personality, the technique is as theatrical as it is destructive. He announces it with all the flair of a wrestler calling his finishing move, which makes it easy to forget that the beam behind the ridiculous name has genuine planet-altering power.

Krillin Saves the Day (and Loses Some Teeth)

On Namek, Recoome takes aim at a battered Vegeta with the Eraser Gun, fully intending to finish the Saiyan prince. Gohan pulls Vegeta out of the direct line of fire at the last second, while Krillin runs up behind Recoome and boots him in the back of the head. The kick disrupts the blast early but also knocks out most of Recoome's teeth in the process. The stray energy wave tears across the Namekian landscape and slams into a mountainous island several miles away, detonating in a colossal explosion that leaves a crater visible from high altitude.

It is one of those classic Namek Saga moments where the supporting cast pulls off a genuinely clutch save. Without Krillin's intervention, Vegeta dies on Namek long before Frieza ever gets the chance.

In the Afterlife and Beyond

In anime filler, Recoome uses the Eraser Gun again on King Kai's Planet during the Z Fighters' adventures in the afterlife. The technique has been a staple of Recoome's moveset across dozens of video games, appearing under names like "Eraser Cannon" in older titles and "Recoome Boom" in the Supersonic Warriors series.

Burst Limit features an Ultimate version called the Recoome Ultra Eraser Gun, and Dragon Ball Fusions includes powered-up variations like Recoome Eraser Cannon and Hyper Eraser Cannon. The technique has endured as one of the franchise's most recognizable mouth blasts, second only to moves from the likes of Great Apes and Omega Shenron.
