Fighting Style

Nappa is an absolute giant of a man at 6ft 10 inches and uses his natural height and strength to his advantage in battle. However, he can be seen as a bit of a flat-track bully, like Raditz, who enjoys fighting weaker opponents but doesn’t have the tactics or intelligence to adapt to stronger opponents.

Being a general in the Saiyan army, we assume that Nappa did most of his training on the battlefield and probably didn’t do much dedicated training. The same could be said of Vegeta at this point, but Vegeta had the ability to evolve as a fighter, which we don’t think Nappa would have done had he survived his battle on Earth.

Nappa may be brawn over brains, like for example when he thought he could handle one of Krillin’s Destructo disks, but he is an extremely effective fighter and definitely has the Saiyan killer instinct. He also proved himself to be extremely durable surviving a kamikaze attack from Chiaotzu. Sure, Chiaotzu isn’t exactly Jiren, but at the time in Dragon Ball Z, that was an impressive show of strength from Nappa. His Ki techniques are also like him, extremely powerful but slightly one dimensional.

Despite Nappa rising to the rank of General, he doesn’t appear to be a very good team player and showed a lot of insubordination towards his superior officer, Vegeta. First, needlessly blowing up the city and refusing to stand down when commanded by Vegeta. If he’d been a better listener and more of a team player, he’d still be alive and maybe could have gone through a similar character progression as Vegeta.

Signature Moves

• Volcano Explosion

  - A very powerful, city destroying technique, in which the user points his index and middle finger in the air towards their target. No Ki Blast is sent but a large explosion seems to come up from the floor in the intended area of destruction.

  

• Lightning Aura

  - An interesting Ki technique in which Nappa focuses all the energy around himself in the form of lightning. This gives Nappa increased strength causing his melee attacks to cause additional damage. While using this technique Nappa was able to punch Tien's arm clean off.

  

• Bomber DX

  - An exploding Ki technique, in which a Ki ball is thrown at the target like a baseball. The energy ball is charged in the hand between crooked fingers before being let lose at it's intended target. The Ki blast then explodes on the first thing it touches, causing a huge amount of damage.

  

• Break Cannon

  - An intense Ki Blast that the user fires from their mouth. Similar to other mouth blast techniques, Nappa opens his mouth wide, charges the Ki in his mouth in the form of a ball before letting it lose with a massive scream. Truly horrifying to hear, let alone be on the receiving end of.

  

All Transformations

• Nappa Great Ape (Ōzaru)

  - Although we don't see Nappa transform, we know from his tail that he'd be capable of transforming into a Great Ape at the sight of the full moon. This would give Nappa a roughly 10 times power boost, and he probably would have been able to beat Goku had he transformed like Vegeta did.
