![]() This is evidenced during Cell's introduction in the series, where the Z Fighters, prior to finding out who Cell was, described his ki signature as a combination of Goku's, Vegeta's, Piccolo's, Frieza's, and King Cold's ki signatures (the main components of Cell's biological makeup). It appears as if each organism has a distinct ki signature, much like fingerprints in the real world. Krillin was able to detect that Cell was concealing his true power after being kicked by him, and Korin was able to approximate Cell's true power from a distance. ![]() It is also possible for a skilled user to detect strength which is being concealed by the target. ![]() Trained warriors like the Gods of Destruction, can read an individual's spirit in their ki for any evil intent such as the intention to murder someone. The Namekians are able to sense whether the life force is good or evil, such as when the Ginyu Force arrived on Namek: Krillin senses their presence and thinks it is Goku, but Nail says "I, too, sense the presence of evil coming." The Namekian ki sense is displayed for the first time on-screen when Raditz approaches Piccolo on Earth: Piccolo reasons that the incoming power could not be Goku because "It's too horrible." Trained fighters also have the ability to sense whether or not a presence is good or evil, as Goku says "It's a horrible power, too! I'm trembling!" as he senses Raditz approaching Kame House, and later when he says that he senses evil when Black Smoke Shenron is summoned. Several more advanced versions of the technique exist, although all are treated as higher forms of the same base ability, allowing for more information to be available to the user than simply the current battle power of their opponent. The Dragon Team had to find them using more practical means. Some organic beings also seem to have ki of a different kind which cannot be detected by this ability, as all three members of the Trio of Danger had ki that could not be detected even by Goku's godly ki sense. Innocent Buu was unable to sense ki, but once he was absorbed by Evil Buu and evolved into Super Buu, this new Buu instantly knew how to sense ki, having tracked the Dragon Team all the way up to the Lookout.Īndroids have an artificial source of ki and cannot be found by the ki sensing ability. However, scouters have been shown to be very fragile, breaking when a fighter powers up too much, making the ki sensing technique preferred for those who know how to use it. Frieza and his army, who did not possess this ability, use a device called a scouter that can give numerical readings of a person's location and power level. Popo likens explaining it to someone as being like "describing sight to the blind." However, the manga and anime usually show a minor spark on their head to signify that the Z Fighter is picking up a power.ĭespite how common the technique is in later sagas, and how easy it is to learn for an adept martial artist, it actually appears to be a rare ability, as the Frieza Force was unaware of the technique until they faced the Dragon Team. No outsider knows the sensations associated with ki sensing, as Mr. Master Roshi was implied to have the ability to sense ki in the Japanese version, when he expresses some disturbance at how he could not sense General Blue's presence at all before the latter ambushed them. Once a fighter masters the skill, they can use it even when their other five senses are incapacitated. The technique appears to require a directional focus to find a particularly distant ki Goku was unable to find the location of New Namek without the assistance of King Kai to give him a rough direction. Particularly powerful ki can be sensed even across the distance between the living world and divine realms such as Other World Gohan is able to sense the increase in ki from Goku's Super Saiyan 3 transformation all the way from the Sacred World of the Kai. The distance from which an individual's ki can be sensed depends on the strength of the ki and the skill of the user. Ki sensing is the ability to sense the location, life force, and power level of anyone, the stronger and closer the target, the more powerful the sensation.
