SOLAR FLARE
USED BY: TIEN (primary user), GOKU, KRILLEN
1ST APPEARANCE: DRAGONBALL Z: PENDULUM ROOM

SOLAR FLARE is a technique in which the user puts his hands in front of his face and by shouting "Solar Flare", is able to blind his opponent. This technique was first taught to TIEN. The origins behind this move are unknown.

Besides TIEN, GOKU has also used the move in battle. He used the move to blind VEGETA so he could have a chance to launch a SPIRIT BOMB. While on NAMEK, KRILLEN used SOLAR FLARE to blind DODOORIA.

In some cases, a weak opponent can be physically hurt by SOLAR FLARE. The length of time a person is blinded depends on their strength and sensitivity to light. Unlike some moves, it has a short-charge up time.
