Kaioken

Kaioken ( 'Kaiōken', lit. "Fist of the King of the Worlds") is a technique invented by '''King Kai. However, Son Goku''' was the only person who could use it successfully. That is until somewhere along the way Cole discovered how to use the technique, and eventually, the Z-Defenders as well.

It is a power up technique that multiplies the user's Ki for a heartbeat. Thus increasing their power and speed and allowing them to inflict serious damage to opponents who are considerably stronger than them.

However, the Kaioken had a severe drawback. It takes a heavy toll on the user's body, making them more vulnerable to enemy attacks, making matters only worse.

Although, a few years back and while training with Sly to prepare for Kyoa's arrival. He figured out how to in fact, sustain the Kaioken for longer periods of time in battle with much less body exploding. Shortly after, so did the Z-Defenders and it became their go to power up for stronger opponents.

While in this state, the user's aura color becomes crimson. But for Cole's Variation, the aura doesn't always have to be there for it to turn on. The appearance of the user changes their overall look into red colors, each tone depending on what color their clothes are. Their eyes also turn red as a result of this.

Overview
So in order to utilize this technique to it's fullest. The key to the technique is actually not Ki. It all comes from a different type of energy your body produces, only at first, it's locked away. The way Son Goku was taught the Kaioken, he had learned to force this energy out. As a result of forcing such a powerful force out, it would threaten to destroy his body, which is why he could only use it for what felt like a "heart beat". So forcing it out really wasn't a good option. (However he has shown to sustain the form while in Super Saiyan God Blue). But there is a way to make the energy flow naturally through out your body. You body can produce this energy like a faucet, the user must then find away to find that spark of energy and learn to control that energy. Thus, longer time powered up, less body exploding.

Although, the user can in fact use the Kaioken for intense bursts like the original to produce more speed and attack power. However, this is forcing the energy out to output more than it originally should be, so trying to hold this for long periods of time can take a toll on the body and on their stamina.

The more the user trains in this state, as well as train in higher levels. The more you can access the full potential of Kaioken

[The Max multiplier for Kaioken is a Kaioken x20]

Drawbacks
However, even with the perfected utilization of the Kaioken, it's not without it's limitations and drawbacks. If the user goes over their limits than the level they're used to in Kaioken, it can cause a lot of strain on the body. Sagen experiences this in "A Battle of Life and Death". In an attempt to defeat Skull, Sagen goes Kaioken x4 to fend Skull off, but before he could even try to land a decisive blow, the strain on his body was too much for him to handle, Thus he powered down. Furthermore, while the Kaioken can be used in Bursts like the previous variant to deal out greater speed and strength. This takes a toll on the users body if sustained for too long, even in a level they are adapted to.

One good blow can make them power down from Kaioken forcibly. However, this doesn't mean they're out of the game yet.

Despite these drawbacks. There's is one bright side to it all. No matter what the multiplier, this variation of the Kaioken will not kill you. However, don't get careless. The more you try to push past your limits, the more strain you will receive, you may just end up burning yourself out before you even have the chance to do sufficient damage
