#FLICK MY BEAN GHOBSTBUSTERS MOVIE#
Gohan, having lost feeling in his left arm, summons the support of his father for a Father-Son Kamehameha to keep up with Cell. The second most iconic example is the arc-ending one in Gohan vs Super Perfect Cell, which would last an entire episode.Round Two, Frieza pulling a Backstab Backfire after being cut in half by his own technique and saved by donated energy. Frieza wins by breaking out of the struggle and ramming him. Goku vs Frieza: Round One, Goku's Kamehameha vs Frieza himself, surrounded by a force-field.This example is usually what most fans think of when it comes to Beam O Wars in the series, and was used for the first intro to Dragon Ball Z Kai. Easily the most iconic example is Goku vs Vegeta, where Vegeta fires his Galick Gun in an attempt to destroy the Earth, while Goku uses his Kamehameha with a Kaio-Ken, eventually upping to Kaio-Ken x4 to win the clash (at the cost of messing up his body).In the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai we had Goku's Super Kamehameha vs Piccolo's Explosive Demon Wave.Interestingly, this case was Goku showing that he could keep up with Roshi using a move he barely learned, rather than a struggle for dominance like most others.

The first of the series was Goku's Kamehameha vs Master Roshi's, who invented the move.Nearly every major battle had at least one of these, referred to in video games as Energy Clashes: The Trope Codifier, if not the outright Trope Maker.One battle that stands out was when she fought the Snow Queen in her second movie. Sailor Moon often fights the Big Bad this way.Compare Air Jousting, Brawler Lock, Blade Lock, and Pummel Duel (the Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs variation of this) for more physical examples.
If a video game has Destructible Projectiles, a variant of this can occur. It does work for matter projectiles (partially, see below), but those are rarely used.ĭespite that it makes no sense even in fiction, physical projectiles or strikes are sometimes portrayed meeting midair and "pushing" each other until one side wins in much the same pattern used for beams.īeam-o-War is also known as a beam "struggle" or "clash" in certain circles. Of course, energy beams in fantasy and sci-fi are up for grabs in terms of how they react to one another, but even then there's the improbability of the beams being fired nearly simultaneously at perfect enough angles to result in a head-on collision with similar enough initial force to force equilibrium without planning such things beforehand. Lasers, for example, will simply pass through each other unimpeded, although their point of intersection may experience any constructive or destructive interference between the two beams depending on the characteristics (wavelength and phase) of the lasers involved. This has little justification in real-life science. They almost never think about sneaking behind their defenseless foe and beaming them (or stabbing them) In the Back.Ī slight variation of this trope will have one character creating a "shield", attempting to hold it up as long as they can, lest their opponent's beam of death destroy them. When more than two opponents are involved, they usually join their beam attack with their respective ally (or give them more energy) so that the "intersection" gets closer to the opponent.
Either one consumes the other and goes on to greet the enemy, one opponent collapses from the effort involved, or else they both explode. These two beams slam against each other in the middle, and begin "pushing" back and forth, essentially becoming an energy arm-wrestle.
One opponent sends out a beam of destructive energy intent on frying their opponent, and the opponent does the same. Yami Bakura, Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series note Caption: This isn't a joke - it really happensĪ very common trope in Speculative Fiction across all media.
