During the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, Goku uses the Solar Flare on Tien Shinhan himself, who is using the Multi-Form technique. Also during the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament, Krillin uses a personalized version called TaiyЕЌken Hansha (' Solar Flare Reflection' in English) in his match against Goku. The technique is used by Tien Shinhan during the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament (the Solar Flare is one of Tien's signature moves) and later on by Goku, Krillin, and Cell. Also, if the opponent is naturally blind it has no effect on them. This is also proven in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament when Goku uses the technique during his fight with Tien, which affects everyone but Master Roshi and the announcer. In the finals of the same tournament, Goku borrows Master Roshi's sunglasses to prevent Tien's Solar Flare and he is even capable of hitting Tien during the execution of the technique. This technique is rendered useless if the opponent is wearing sunglasses, as evident in the 22nd World Martial Arts Tournament when Tien Shinhan uses the technique against Jackie Chun, affecting him while Master Shen and the World Tournament Announcer are unaffected by the flash. Due to it being simply a flash of light, it works regardless of any gap in power between the user and the target. Goku uses the Solar Flare against Great Ape VegetaДespite the simplicity of the attack and its ' old' nature, the technique is still deemed extremely effective against some of the most powerful foes ever encountered by the Dragon Team. This technique is defensive rather than offensive, and is mainly used as way to gain the upper hand, or in order to make hasty retreat, or to set up for a more complicated attack without fear of interruption. The user then calls out the name of the technique, which provokes a white light to fire out and blind everything watching except the user, since they are projecting the light. The Solar Flare is performed by the user placing their hands close to the center of their face with the fingers spread toward their eyes.
