Technique Name: Gyakuten Makūhōidan

Description: Based on a traditional Namekian technique that Nero has studied; the Makūhōidan. Nero charges up and fires several energy spheres randomly in the opponent's direction, disregarding accuracy and with seemingly no intent on actually hitting anyone, and are suspended in the air around a foe. With his skill in ki control, Nero uses these energy spheres that he has set up not as an attack but as a defensive maneuver where he commands the energy spheres to return towards him in the wake of an attack to defend him and alter the flow of energy. If this technique is overcome, the altered flow of energy left behind by the clash can be used to both empower Nero's abilities and weaken that of his foe.
