This is a more practical application of the Multi-Size Technique. Rather than increase the size of their entire body, the user increases the size of only specific body parts, typically the arms and legs. Because of the larger size, physical attacks made with the expanded limbs do greater damage than normal. The limbs' growth is very fast, giving users a way of taking opponents by surprise. In the anime, the expanded mass can also be used a powerful defense from blunt-force assaults, cushioning the impact to negate it.[2]
As with other techniques of the Akimichi clan, its chakra requirements are quite high,[1] to the point that, in Part I, Chōji takes one of the Three Coloured Pills before using this technique.[3]
Trivia[]
- In Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2, Chōji uses this technique under the name "Super Fly Swatter" (超ハエたたき, Chō Haetataki).
- In Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 4, he says "Super Expansion Jutsu", the English name for Super Multi-Size Technique. This doesn't occur in the Japanese dub.
