To perform the technique, the user extends his right arm and fires a small, thin, very fast and concentrated laser-like beam of ki from his index finger, which barrels down and pierces through the opponent. The user is able to fire the attack very quickly, while maintaining precise aim. Due to having some of Frieza's and King Cold's cells, Cell is also able to perform the attack. He uses variations against Super Saiyan Gohan during their battle in the Cell Games (Barrage Death Beam), and later to execute Future Trunks (Full Power Death Beam).
