1ST APPEARANCE: DRAGONBALL Z: GOKU STRIKES BACK
The KEOKEN ATTACK is an ancient form of attack that was taught to GOKU by KING KAI. It increases ones speed and power by incredible amounts. By shouting "KEOKEN ATTACK" a person can activate the attack. THe person is then surrounded by an orange glow. The attack has several levels. A person can specify which level he/she wants to use by saying a number after the phrase such as "times 1", "times 2" and so on. A person is usually not supposed to go beyond level 3. The reason is the KEOKEN ATTACK can seriously damage a person's body due to the extreme energy build up that occurs at higher levels. GOKU has so far demonstrated that he can go has high as fifty.
GOKU first used the attack while battling NAPPA and VEGETA. He was able to beat NAPPA with it but VEGETA had already seen the attack in action and knew how to counter it. GOKU still uses the KEOKEN has an opening attack move. He has also learned how to launch KAMEHAMEHA WAVES while doing a KEOKEN.
