Revenge Death Ball

Technique

Baby's ultimate attack, a dark energy sphere fueled by the negative emotions of every being under his mind control. Essentially an evil Spirit Bomb that can be replicated at will after the initial charge.

The Evil Spirit Bomb

The Revenge Death Ball is Baby's answer to the Spirit Bomb, and the parallel is intentional. Where Goku gathers positive energy from willing donors, Baby harvests the dark, negative energy from every person under his parasitic control. The resulting sphere is a volatile mass of deep blue energy crackling with electricity, powerful enough to shake the fabric of dimensional space itself.

Unlike the Spirit Bomb, the Revenge Death Ball does not require re-gathering energy each time. Once Baby absorbs the initial wave of negative emotion, he can produce the attack repeatedly, potentially even amplifying it. However, the sphere is highly unstable; it detonates on contact with anything, including the ground, which prevents it from drilling through a planet the way Frieza's Death Ball can.

A Saga of Near-Misses

Baby Vegeta first unleashes the Revenge Death Ball against Goku on Earth, and the blast's aftershock is so powerful that it rattles Kibito Kai mid-teleportation, nearly causing him to drop Goku in the dimensional gap. The second use targets Uub, but Good Buu throws himself in front of the attack and inhales the entire sphere, saving his friend. A third attempt fizzles when Baby tries to charge it but gets interrupted by the Golden Great Ape attacking him mid-formation.

The final use against Super Saiyan 4 Goku proves utterly futile. By that point, Baby's entire arsenal has become irrelevant against the overwhelming power of the fully realized SS4 form. The Revenge Death Ball, for all its dimensional-shaking potency, bounces off Goku like a minor annoyance.

Variations and Legacy

Baby develops two enhanced versions: the Flaming Death Ball, which wraps the sphere in a fiery coating for a more explosive impact, and the Revenge Death Ball Final, a dramatically larger version used in his Golden Great Ape form. The base version has appeared in numerous games, from Budokai Tenkaichi to Sparking! Zero, typically serving as Super Baby 2's Ultimate Attack. In Xenoverse 2, players can learn the technique as a reward from the "Multiverse Match of the Century" Parallel Quest.
