About the "Sunlight fist"

Post by FuguTabetai »

Hi all,

I received this email from a reader:

In the classic manga Dragon Ball by Toriyama, there
was this character who had a special move "sunlight
fist", where he emits a great deal of light from the
eyes... this move cause temporary blindness to the
opponent. Later main characters in the manga also
copied this technique and used it to defeat many
people.

This "sunlight fist" reference is very frequently used
as Toriyama's Dragon Ball is quite famous. It's used
not only in other mangas but also in some comedic
writing... to describe blinding beauty, for example.

In TJTG page 198, Kurei's pose was exactly like
Dragon Ball's Sunlight Fist, except that the lights
are coming out of his eyes like aliens.. (so two
references in one)
