Which one was that? The Buu Saga one?

No. That was the last Budokai of Dragonball before the Saiyan saga; it's the only one that Goku won.

[up][up][up][up] Chi-Chi, Tao Pai Pai, Piccolo Junior, Tenshinhan, Kuririn, God, Goku.

I think that's everyone.

I'm pretty sure Tien, Goku, and Krillin all had techniques they learned from someone. And wasn't Tao a student of the Crane school? Or was he the Crane Master's brother?

[up][up]

Actually, with the exception of Tien's Multiform, pretty much all of the people you mentioned inherited the techniques they used from someone else.

Most of them may have put their own spins on it, but they still learned it from another person. Piccolo might also be an exception: does inheriting the abilities of your previous incarnation / father count.

Oh, and I guess Kami as….no wait. He learned the Mafuba from watching either Roshi, Mataito, or Tenshihan. I'd forgotten. The rest of what he knows is probably original though.

[up] Tao was the younger brother, and considering that Chiaotzu knew the Dodon wave, it's can be implied that Tao learned it from his brother (though he could have invented it and taught it to the Crane hermit, who then taught it to Chiaotzu).

I thought it wasn't about "not having techniques learned from someone" and having "techniques that weren't learned from someone". So Kuririn counts for his homing blasts, etc.

Well lets say Techniques they invented themselves then. I think that will be clearer.

Okay.

Chi-Chi - her stance is apparently her own. It's a technique, right?

Tao Pai Pai - He invented the Dodonpa.

Piccolo - Arm stretching, Mafuba counter, giant form.

Goku - Invented his own form of flight (apparently), Super Kamehameha (if this doesn't count, no ki attack should since they're all based on the ki manipulation they learned)

Kuririn - Homing blasts

God - Body posession, shockwaves

Tenshinhan - Four witches, eye beams, body splitting

….. I get the feeling your doing it on purpose, but you forgot Yamcha and his Soki-Dan.

I thought as much.

Nonetheless, the list is good. There were more there than I figured.

As pope of this thread, Saiga has excommunicated Yamcha.

I like the pro wrestling analogy.

I just remembered: Goku invented the Jan-ken. So yeah, definitely invented his own techniques by the 23rd Budokai.tongue

It's probably not a separate technique, or something that required invention. Just had to think of, and maybe practice, doing so.

I'm afraid I have to ask, who would the DB villains be in terms of pro wrestlers?

I just remembered: Goku invented the Jan-ken. So yeah, definitely invented his own techniques by the 23rd Budokai.

No he didn't. When he was fighting Jackie Chun / Master Roshi, Roshi countered it and implied that he was familiar with the move.

So either Roshi made it, but didn't use it, or Gohan invented it and used it in a fight against Roshi.

So you lose Saiga. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!
