In the vast Dragon Ball universe, where epic battles and extraordinary abilities are commonplace, one of the most iconic techniques is the ability to fly. This ability, which adds a new level of verticality to battles, was introduced by the character who started the series: Ten Shin Han.
During the early stages of Dragon Ball, especially during the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, the one and only Ten Shin Han proved to be a formidable opponent, demonstrating an amazing technique known as bukujutsu or the ability to fly. This ability not only amazed the characters in the series, but also opened up a new paradigm for battles.

The flying technique from this point on became a fundamental element of Dragon Ball confrontations. Famous characters such as Goku, Vegeta and many other martial artists have perfected this skill throughout the series. The ability to rise into the air not only provides a tactical advantage in combat, but also allows you to create memorable moments and spectacular movements.
It should be noted that the use of bukujutsu is not limited to basic fighters. Even minor characters, such as members of the Galactic Patrol, demonstrated flying abilities during their encounters. This distinctive element of the world created by Akira Toriyama evolved over time, naturally becoming part of the characters’ repertoire of abilities.
As the series progressed and new sagas and generations emerged, the technique of flight remained a symbol of the constant evolution of warriors. From the introduction of Ten Shin Han to its widespread adoption among the main characters, the ability to fly has left an indelible mark on the rich history of Dragon Ball.
