TIEN SHINHAN
TS
The three-eyed star pupil of the assassin Crane School who debuts as a cold, brutal rival to the Turtle School. Capable of flight, sprouting extra arms, and firing the life-draining Tri-Beam (Kikoho), Tien breaks Yamcha's leg in cold blood before fighting Goku in the 22nd Tournament finals. Rejecting Master Shen's dark assassin path, Tien transforms into an honorable warrior and vital defender of Earth.

ORIGINAL DB TECHNIQUE DEBUT DIRECTORY //
Open page →Crane Bukujutsu (Levitation)
Open →Bukujutsu · Ki-Based Aerial Flight · Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu
The foundational art of levitation popularized by the Crane School at the 22nd World Tournament. By controlling internal energy currents, the practitioner floats upon their own ki aura, unlocking complete three-dimensional movement through the sky without mechanical aid.
Four Witches Technique
Open →Shyouken · Anatomical Arm Sprouting · Tien Shinhan
A unique Crane School secret art where the practitioner manually sprouts two fully functional arms from their shoulder blades. Drastically increases blocking coverage and close-quarters striking density, effectively doubling the user's taijutsu output.
Tri-Beam
Open →Kikoho · Vitality Conversion Blast · Tien Shinhan
Tien Shinhan's ultimate artillery technique. Framing the target through a geometric hands-triangle, the caster converts direct physical stamina and vital life energy into a massive, square-shaped concussive force. Extremely dangerous to the user, with over-use resulting in immediate death.
Dodon Ray
Open →Dodonpa · Focal Piercing Beam · Mercenary Tao, Chiaotzu, Tien Shinhan
The signature energy art of the Crane School. Unlike the wide blast trajectory of the Kamehameha, the Dodon Ray condenses ki into a thin, searing needle fired directly from the index finger, maximizing penetration and burning power.
Solar Flare
Open →Taiyoken · Photonic Blinding Flash · Tien Shinhan, Son Goku, Krillin
A non-lethal tactical masterpiece invented by Tien Shinhan. The user places fingers near the eyes and releases internal energy as a sudden, intense burst of white light. Temporarily blinds anyone looking in the user's direction, creating a flawless opening for escape or counter-attack.
