The afterimage techqiue was a signature move in dragonball, and though i saw it in dragonball z and gt it was never mentioned again. You would think goku would have mentioned this no? Or taught it to gohan? It truly is a great technique and they coud have done more with it in dbz i think. The only explanation I can come across is it doesnt work because everybody can read power levels now?? |

Goku used it when he was fighting Cell as a Mastered Super Saiyajin quite a few times and it worked effectively. In order to leave the "afterimage" behind it requires energy to sustain it for however long the user chooses, unless the "afterimage" is interfered with by an outbound source, the enemy. Since its a very quick technique the person that it is used on does not realise it has been done unless they see them perform it and move position. In which case you have to be faster to do so. Since its such an instantaneous movement the user leaves behind a big trail of "fresh" energy. Ultimately the user is tricked into believe a fake source of energy. It is a very good technique as it was used to even fool Omega Shenron and it worked. I really dont know why. Goku uses it here and there in DBZ but i dont think anyone else does. Why or did he teach Gohan? Probably but for some reason Gohan didnt use it. I would imagine it takes a great deal of concentration to perform it effectively 100% to ultimately get your opponent off guard. Of course it can be used loosely but if its a serious battle then there's no room to slip up. |

they are probably constantly using it when the fights get "too fast for the eye to see" ie goku vs cell etc. |

During Cell Saga, well the Tournament when Goku was fighting Cell, he used it for strategy. You have to think of the Timeline difference between Dragonball and GT, more moves were improved, better techniques(Instant Transmission). After Image, was not needed when they improved theyre abilities! |
