Spirit Control (スピリットのコントロール Supiritto no Kontorōru)[8] is an advanced Ki manipulation technique known primarily to the Yardrat race.

Overview

With enough Spirit Control, a simple finger beam becomes a massive energy wave

With enough Spirit Control, a simple finger beam becomes a massive energy wave

Spirit Control allows its user to achieve a multitude of potent abilities through their ki, including Instant Transmission (a basic ability), Cloning, Gigantification, Healing (an advanced ability) and Forced Spirit Fission (an extremely advanced ability). These abilities achieved through Spirit Control are used by shifting, splitting and growing the user's spirit.[8] Achieving good Spirit Control allows the user to sense ki from a much greater distance and utilize their energy to attack much more efficiently, though at first this newfound ability to use their ki properly causes the power to be somewhat uncontrollable; this was demonstrated by Vegeta, who tried to use a simple finger beam but ended up firing off a powerful energy wave.[9]

Usage

After the Frieza Saga, Goku learns Spirit Control from the Yardrats and with it learns how to apply it to use Instant Transmission.[10] Numerous other fighters have obtained the ability to use Spirit Control to utilize Instant Transmission through their interaction with Goku.

In the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga, Vegeta goes to Planet Yardrat to try and learn a new technique for defeating Moro, discovering Spirit Control from Pybara in the process.[8] By learning Spirit Control, Vegeta is able to augment his combat abilities, as demonstrated by Vegeta's Galick Beam becoming more powerful after his Spirit Control training.[9]

Video Game Appearances

In Dokkan Battle, though the technique is unnamed, the time-displaced Captain Ginyu is revealed to have learned Forced Spirit Fission through Spirit Control, presumably from his time on Planet Yardrat (as the Ginyu Force's space pods had originally set a course for there before being called to Namek by Frieza). He teaches Chiaotzu the same technique in hopes that Chiaotzu can return him to his original body, since Ginyu is unable to use Forced Spirit Fission himself. Chiaotzu practices by trying to defuse Aka.
