While Rōshi is in his transformed state, he can create a small volcano that explodes violently, sending molten rock flying up in all directions like a giant flower. The heat of the lava is enough to burn tailed beasts as strong as Gyūki.

Trivia

  • The summit of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits (花果山, Ja: Kakazan, Ch: Huāguǒshān) is the birthplace of Sūn Wùkōng, the main character of the Chinese novel Journey to the West. The mountain is located on a volcanic island. The Four-Tails, of course, is based on Sūn Wùkōng and the Dragon Ball series, which in turn is also based on Journey to the West.
  • When written as 火山, kazan means 'volcano'.
  • In an anime exclusive sequence, Rōshi, while offscreen, used what appears to be this technique just before being defeated by Kisame, the lava and Kisame's Water Release seen clashing.
  • According to the Fourth Databook, Son Gokū is a user of this technique.
