#if the number wasnt obvious enough let alone the ‘snake like’ way all 7 move when controlled at once

So this may have been asked before but does Yantan have any special moves?

Actually you’re the first person to ask ever lol TOO BAD IT’S A TAD LONG 😭😭

OK! SO LIKE… I did think about this. I’ve sat on this for a while. I’VE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THIS FOR THE LONGEST SO THANK U FOR GIVING ME THAT OPPURTUNITY. It’s rather absurd but bear with me as i kinda prattle on this concept. Also the attack doesn’t have a name (yet). 

Yantan knows what Yamcha knows (for the most part), as for her own “special moves” she has one particular ki-based attack she made up. A very bastardized modification of Yamcha’s spirit ball because when she was younger he didn’t want to teach her the actual spirit ball. …yet. It was kind of advanced and complicated for her at the time so he didn’t wanna teach her when she wasn’t ready. Out of pettiness and without his knowledge she wanted to try it anyway. (Spoilers: she couldn’t get the hang of its destructive nature. It was too much for her back then) .

Then at some point after a weird leap in logic and imitation it became, ok if HE can make up his own attack then so can she!! AAHHH!! What she ended up doing was something more arguably more unstable than the regular spirit ball. Instead of this medium dense ball of ki from ones hand, it eventually became like 7 smaller, even denser balls of ki from her head. 

I don’t think I’m skilled enough yet to convey how it looks properly, so here’s a bunch of demonstrative scribbles between my janky explanations lol 

During early experimentation it was incredibly taxing to conjure those things at all. She’d practically be paralyzed from stress and since she didn’t quite master focus yet to control such unstable ki, they’d just…. hover above her head and explode shortly after being conjured up.  EVENTUALLY through a looot of trial and error she learns how to at least control one of them at a time. Unfortunately she still had to sacrifice movement, aaand those things would still explode if she didn’t get rid of them quick enough. (She’s addressed it’s impracticality but damn what determination does to a person) 

BY THE TIME SHE’S OLDER THOUGH she more or less has a better understanding of her attack. When she’s idle those ki orbs pretty much orbit around her and she’s able to move. (Also no more explosions). BUT! 

She can either control one at a time and retain her mobility but with lesser accuracy. (Cuz she has to also divide focus on keeping the other 6 idle) 

OR! Control all seven at once with better accuracy but sacrifice general mobility. (they always move in a snake-like line for this) 

She’s still learning how to refine it to be more effective buuuut YEAH. EITHER WAY their density does make it reasonably powerful, if a bit destructive without proper concentration. AND THAT DOES IT FOR ANY “SPECIAL MOVE” lol. At least for now. Thank u for your time! 💙😭💙
