Dragon Ball has some of the most famous techniques in anime. It's not just Kamehameha. Vegeta's Big Bang Attack, Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon, Frieza's Death Beam, the list goes on and on. All of these attacks have catchy names that come with powerful effects. But what about techniques that fall flat?
There are a lot of great-sounding techniques in the series that, when you think about it, just aren't that good. The names may sound strong, but when you compare them to some of the most powerful attacks in the series, these interesting techniques just fall flat.
Dragon Ball: 7 Techniques Stronger Than Vegeta's Last Flash
The Final Flash weed is insanely powerful, but these techniques are stronger.
Devilmite Beam
Maybe if a character like Piccolo came up with this move it would be more powerful than it was. Finally, Spike the Devil Man's Devilmite Beam sounds menacing, but comes with a massive caveat that renders it useless when we've seen it in the series.
Spike is one of Fortuneteller Baba's fighters and faces Goku when he and the gang set out to defeat Baba's fighters to find out the location of the Dragon Ball in the original series. The Devilmite Beam is supposed to use the opponent's negative thoughts and emotions against them, but when used against pure-hearted characters or well-balanced characters like Goku, it is completely ineffective.
Flame bullet

The Saiyans may have been a warrior race, but compared to other characters introduced throughout the series, most of them were nothing special. Sure, they would handle most of their goals when invading planets, but the average Saiyan has long since surpassed his power, even characters like Krillin and Tien.
Tora's Flame Bullet has a cool name, and while it was enough to burn and defeat an already damaged Toolo, you have to imagine that a fairly bland energy wave from a low class Saiyan wouldn't do much damage against most competent fighters, especially the other members of the Frieza Force.

Crash Launcher
Spopovic might have looked menacing, but that was about it. Never a real threat or challenge to any of the Z-Fighters, he was only able to subdue Gohan through the intervention of the Supreme Kai. While Babidi's magic allows him to greatly exceed his limits, he is nothing more than a grunt-level fighter.

Thanks to Babidi's magic, Spopovich is able to use ki blasts and uses a technique called Crash Launcher against Videl in the anime. While it's effective against someone who isn't used to fighting energy waves, it's just a regular energy wave in the end.
Mystic Flasher
Nail was the strongest native Namekian during the Frieza saga, and while he was shown to be a brave and resilient fighter, his luck ran out when he and Frieza crossed paths. Even though Nail was skilled in his own right, he was too weak to take Frieza seriously, with a huge difference in the two's power levels.
Nail used his Mystic Flasher against Frieza to stop time while Dende set out to give Gohan and Krillin the password to the Namekian Dragon Balls. Even though he tried to surprise Frieza with an explosion, he didn't even leave a scratch on the space tyrant. Maybe it would work better on one of the Frieza Force grunts, but from what we saw, it just didn't have any impact.
Double Sunday
Some fans still wonder what could have happened to Raditz. As Goku's brother, there are those who believe he could somehow return to the story, but the series has long passed him by. During his encounter with Goku and Piccolo on Earth, he seemed like a tough villain, but we quickly learned that he was quite weak, even for a little while. FROM antagonist.
Double Sunday is a catchy enough name for the attack, and while it did do some damage to Piccolo during their battle, it's nothing special compared to other Saiyan techniques. Maybe Raditz could improve if he lived and trained more, but as it is, Double Sunday is just another energy wave that didn't do much.
Wolf Fang Fist
Yamcha had one of the worst outs in Dragon Ball, going from being a useful ally to a minor support character and later becoming completely irrelevant when it came to combat. Yamcha has some interesting moves, but the one that has always stood out is his wolf fang fist.
It was actually quite effective in the early series, but looking at it now, it's not even close to doing much damage to the villains of the series. FROM Onward. Melee attacks are often overshadowed by more powerful ki-based attacks such as energy waves and orbs. The Wolf Fang Fist definitely has one of the coolest names in the series, but it's safe to say that it won't win anyone any battles.
Maximum Buster
As one of Frieza's right-hand men, Dodoria was one of the biggest obstacles that Krillin, Gohan, and Vegeta faced at the start of the Frieza Saga. He may have started off as an intimidating villain, but it wasn't long before Vegeta overpowered and defeated him.
Dodoria's Maximum Buster is a massive energy wave that looks like it does a lot of damage. But when he used it against Dende, Gohan and Krillin, the trio managed to avoid it. He used it again against Vegeta with the same result. It can do some damage wherever it lands, but Dodoria can't seem to hit it.
