From the powerful Tsuru School moves he put to work during his bouts in the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai to the "Mafu-ba" he obsessively practiced to defeat Great Demon King Piccolo, let's take a look at Tenshinhan's various techniques!
Tenshinhan can freely fly through the air by manipulating his Ki.
He first took to the skies using this technique in the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai, quite literally looking down on his opponents!
First Appearance: Tale 119 (22nd Tenkaichi Budokai)
By unleashing a momentary burst of light, Tenshinhan blinds his opponents.
The dazzling brightness of this technique blinded not only his opponent at the time, Jackie Chun, but also Goku and all the other tournament spectators.

Dodonpa is a Tsuru School technique where Ki is focused into the user's fingertip and then released in a single focused beam.
In the 22nd Tenkaichi Budokai, Tenshinhan combined this move with his Buku-jutsu to launch an aerial attack against Goku.
First Appearance: Tale 128 (22nd Tenkaichi Budokai VS Son Goku)
This technique involves tossing your opponent high up in the air and then performing a dig-set-spike volleyball combo attack on them. The cute female volleyball player-esque voice is its trademark!
First Appearance: Tale 129 (22nd Tenkaichi Budokai VS Son Goku)
This technique allows the user to grow two extra arms by concentrating power into their back.
They can also be retracted at will!
First appearance: Tale 132 (22nd Tenkaichi Budokai VS Son Goku)
A secret technique of Tsuru School martial arts, the Kikoho is executed by focusing the user's Ki into a single point and then releasing it in one blast.
In exchange for its extremely high destructive potential, the user's life is shortened with each use.
Just one Kikoho was enough to blow away the whole Tenkaichi Budokai arena!
First Appearance: Tale 133 (22nd Tenkaichi Budokai VS Son Goku)
This secret technique involves the user releasing their life energy with both hands to ensnare their opponent and then sealing them in a container with a seal or talisman.
Tenshinhan learned it by watching Kamesennin perform the technique.
He practiced the Mafu-ba to use against King Piccolo, but as the electronic jar he planned to use to seal him away was broken, he never actually got to use it in battle.
First Appearance: Tale 151
This technique allows the user to split themself into four copies. The number of attacks one can perform is effectively quadrupled, but the power and speed of each copy is only one quarter of the user's full strength.
First Appearance: Tale 178 (23rd Tenkaichi Budokai VS Son Goku)
Tenshinhan fires a beam of energy from the eye on his forehead with this move. He used it in combination with his Shishin-no-Ken (Four Bodies Technique) to bathe an airborne Goku in four third eyes' worth of beams!
