| 4 | The [[Franchise/DragonBall Kamehame]] [[Franchise/StreetFighter Hadoken]] is a KiManipulation technique (or any FunctionalMagic equivalent) in the form of a burst of [[PureEnergy weaponised energy]], typically shot from the cupped hands of the main character after bringing their hands forward from behind their back or aside their hip, and varying greatly in size and intensity; from the "normal", utility EnergyBall attack (as it is with Hadoken) to a devastating beam worthy of a LimitBreak or FinishingMove (as it is with Kamehameha). |
| 5 | |
| 6 | A staple for {{Shotoclone}}s, along with the {{Shoryuken}} and HurricaneKick. Compare with {{BFG}}, which is often the technological version, and WaveMotionGun, for the HumongousMecha or spaceship-scale version of that. Also WaveMotionSword, the sword version. Contrast BeamSpam. Compare also BlastingTime, where the character "throws" the energy attack. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | The Kamehameha part of the trope's name comes from ''Manga/DragonBall'': creator Creator/AkiraToriyama named Roshi's ki attack after Kamehameha I (King of Hawaii), which was suggested to him by his wife. Meanwhile the Hadouken (Surge Fist/Wave Motion Fist) was inspired by the iconic Hadouhou of ''Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato'', or, as it's translated, the WaveMotionGun. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Compare with HandBlast, where the attack is not tied to the attacker's {{Ki|Manipulation}}, LifeEnergy or {{Mana}}. Depending on perception, both could be delivered by PowerPalms. |

| 17 | * The TropeCodifier, and first Trope Namer here, is the Kamehameha used by Kame Sen'nin (Master Roshi), Goku and others from ''Franchise/DragonBall'' [[note]]It can be translated into "Turtle Destruction Wave"; Kame and Ha translate into Turtle and Wave respectively, while Hame can be short for ''hametsu'', or Destruction, although it's a somewhat weird abbreviation[[/note]]. Originally a technique developed by Roshi, who famously used it to ''blow up the moon'', it started as a tremendous show of power that took him 60 years to master. Over time however several characters such as Goku, Krillin and Goten can perform it simply after seeing it, and for Goku it becomes his signature move when things get serious. Interestingly experts can steer the beam after firing it, which gives it an advantage over most other [[KiManipulation Ki Attacks]] in the series. |
| 18 | ** As such an iconic move it is subject to an incredible amount of similar moves and imitations. More than a dozen functionally similar moves exist just within the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise, like Goten's "Kame''k''ameha" (basically the same attack, except [[HilarityEnsues Goten has no control over where it goes]] because he mispronounced the name) and the Chocolate Kamehameha (a version used by the fusion of Majin Buu and Uub that [[TransformationRay turns who it hits into chocolate]]). Here are the more notable ones: |
| 19 | *** The ''Dodon Ray'', created by rival master [[TheRival the Crane Hermit]], focuses a more precise, explosive beam. It's initially demonstrated by Tao Pai-Pai, and it's treated as a big reveal that two other characters know how to use it. After {{Cyborg}} Tao's Super Dodon Ray fails to even singe Tien, this attack is never seen again. |
| 20 | *** Piccolo's ''Explosive Demon Wave'' turned East City and Papaya Island into flattened wastelands, and it nearly kills Imperfect Cell after Piccolo fuses with Kami. |
| 21 | *** Piccolo's second move, the ''Makankōsappō'', or ''Special Beam Cannon'', can pierce a hole through two Saiyans (a direct hit kills Raditz, as well as Goku who [[HeroicSacrifice holds Raditz still so Piccolo can actually hit him]]), and is considered Piccolo's signature move as he devised it specifically to kill Goku. |
| 22 | *** Vegeta has his ''Galick Gun'', which purple instead of blue or yellow; Vegeta only uses it occasionally after it failed to kill Goku in their first fight. When Semi-Perfect Cell tries to use it on Vegeta himself, [[TheWorfBarrage it doesn't work]]. It does work against Prum and Dr. Rota in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''. |
| 23 | *** The ''Masenko'' is another variation used by Piccolo and Gohan but the hands are positioned differently when charging (held over the user's forehead instead of behind themselves). |
| 24 | *** Vegeta's ''Big Bang Attack'' is second only to the Kamehameha in popularity. Operating and looking similar to a Hadoken, the BBA blows away almost anything in Vegeta's vicinity. |
| 25 | *** The ''Final Flash'' makes the Big Bang look ''tame''. Vegeta third signature attack, it's a giant golden beam that would've turned [[PlanetDestroyer Earth into space dust]] if the Prince of Saiyans hadn't changed its trajectory at the last minute. It's one of a very small handful of attacks even Cell admits would have killed him if he'd taken it directly, and it's large enough to be seen escaping Earth's orbit and explode in space. |
| 26 | ** [[AffectionateParody Parodied]] in an omake of ''Manga/WeddingPeach'', with Kame Hame Kame. |
| 27 | ** Parodied again in ''Anime/ExcelSaga'', with [[Creator/ShinichiWatanabe Nabeshin]]'s Nabehameha. |
| 28 | ** In ''Manga/{{Yotsuba}}'', Jumbo is told that Miura's parents are too busy to take her anywhere during the summer, so he takes her fishing. At the end of the trip, he finds out she's going to Hawaii in the fall, and goes comically berserk, yelling ''"Kamehameha!"'' at her -- which is an actually relevant name, given her destination. |
| 29 | * Raoh's ''Hokuto Goushou Ha'' and ''Tenshou Honretsu'' from ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''. His youngest brother Kenshiro has a more precise version that allows the striking of individual pressure points called ''Tenha Kassatsu'', best [[https://i.imgur.com/PWvcx70.mp4 demonstrated]] against [[spoiler:Souther]]. |
| 30 | * ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': |
| 31 | ** Ryoga has the depression-powered ''Shishi Hokodan'', and Ranma has the confidence-powered ''Moko Takabisha'', although the strongest version of the former is more like a giant SphereOfDestruction that falls on top of everything. For added fun, they actually look like Hadokens when fired normally. Except in the second NonSerialMovie, in which they are shown more like the Kamehameha. This is in fact a Japanese pun. "Ki" (using the same kanji) can mean "feelings". |
| 32 | ** Prince Herb of the Musk Dynasty simply emits massive, unnamed torrents of raw ki from his hands. |
| 33 | ** The final adversary in the series, the Phoenix King Saffron, possesses the ''Tenka Shunmetsu Kokyuudan'' (roughly, "Entire-Empire Instant Annihilation Shot") a giant heat ray capable of vaporizing mountains. |
| 34 | ** Hinako Ninomiya is not only able to drain the BattleAura from others with her special technique, but can, by holding her hands in front of her face, forefinger and thumb tips pressing, also expel the gathered energy as a crackling meteor of electrical energy, a move she calls the Happo No Yen Coin Return. |
| 35 | ** Parodied with the Happo Fire-Burst, the series' first touching upon this trope. Initially believed to be a powerful destructive ki attack, it's revealed at the story's climax that it's actually nothing more than Happosai lobbing around homemade bombs. Weirdly, though, they're still extremely powerful attacks. |
| 36 | * In ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', Yusuke Urameshi's attack, the Reigun, is a variation, wherein he usually fires a large blast from only one finger at a time, though he has at times full-palmed the blast, resulting in the partial destruction of no less than two stadiums and a fair portion of the surrounding landscape. |
| 37 | * ''Anime/StreetFighterIIV'' had the same long channeling when Ryu was first learning it before he could use at-will. And the flying part may be an homage to when Goku first fought King Piccolo in ''Dragon Ball''. |
| 38 | * ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': |
| 39 | ** The Tailed Beast Ball, the Tailed Beasts' signature BreathWeapon, is a dense sphere of chakra that once charged can be fired as a bullet-like projectile or a beam of energy capable of reducing large hills and most of the ground surrounding them -- and even entire mountains and cities -- into craters. And it only gets ''more'' dramatic from there. |
| 40 | ** The title character's signature Rasengan ''looks'' like it would be one of these, but the energy ball actually remains in his hand until slammed into a target. But when [[spoiler:his son Boruto]] learns the technique, he is able to fire it off as a projectile...[[AchievementsInIgnorance because he didn't realize the Rasengan wasn't supposed to do that]]. |
| 41 | * In a strange combination with the WaveMotionGun, ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' has the Sekiha Tenkyoken, the ultimate attack of the School of the Undefeated of the East, which practitioners can perform on foot (where it appears to be a gigantic hand) and while piloting their MotionCaptureMecha (where it more closely resembles this trope). |
| 42 | ** Domon combined the Exploding God Finger/Erupting Burning Finger with the Sekiha Tenkyoken, which, like everything else in that series, is surrounded by HotBlooded screaming. In the final episode, Rain and Domon attacked the Devil Gundam's core with the "Erupting Burning Finger Sekiha [[ThePowerOfLove Love-Love]] Tenkyoken". |
| 43 | * ''Franchise/SailorMoon'', as Princess Serenity, evokes this whenever she uses the Mystical Silver Crystal. [[HoldingBackThePhlebotinum That is, when it doesn't decide to bail on her.]] |
| 44 | ** Her live-action counterpart in ''Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon'' has an even more powerful attack -- which [[spoiler:is responsible for the complete death of the Moon Kingdom]]. |
| 45 | ** Sailor Saturn from the later seasons of TheNineties [[Anime/SailorMoon anime]] has an explicit planet-killer attack, which also automatically kills ''her''. Needless to say, this is Only Works Once. (See Mystical Silver Crystal.) |
| 46 | ** Tuxedo Mask himself as this as his own signature attack in both the manga and ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal'', and can do it with ''one hand''. |
| 47 | * ''Manga/SaintSeiya'' has the ''Athena Exclamation'', which has three Gold Saints doing this move together. Appropriately, it's known as the most powerful technique available to Saints, and a DangerousForbiddenTechnique both because it can cause extreme devastation as well as because it's considered dishonorable - due to it involving THREE Saints united against a single enemy. |
| 48 | ** ''Anime/SaintSeiyaOmega'' has Orion Eden's ''Orion Extermination'' technique, in which Eden summons a thunderbolt that hits his hands, whose energy he gathers and then unleashes it in a huge blast of Cosmo from his hands together. The end result looks a lot like Vegeta's Final Flash. |
| 49 | * ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': |
| 50 | ** The Cero is the standard weapon of [[TheHeartless Hollows]] at Menos level and higher, being a charged beam of destructive spiritual energy. Menos use it as a BreathWeapon of sort, although they charge it in front of their mask's teeth or inide their mouths. Higher-tier Hollows start customizing it in color, and Arrancar can unleash these attacks from just about any body part of choice. Nnoitra Gilga [[https://i.gifer.com/L2.gif likes to stick his tongue out and fire it from the tip]], for example. |
| 51 | ** [[TookALevelInBadass Ramped up]] by Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez during his final confrontation with Ichigo, unleashing a variation of the attack that only Espada-level Arrancar can use: the Gran Rey Cero. |
| 52 | ** Ulquiorra's Cero Oscuras is stated to be an extremely powerful variant used only by Espada-level Arrancars in their [[OneWingedAngel Resurreccíon]], [[spoiler:but is completely outclassed by Hollow Ichigo's standard Cero, which is able to effortlessly overhelm it.]] |
| 53 | ** Ramped up even more with [[spoiler: Coyote Starrk]], who has mastered the technique. He [[spoiler: doesn't even need a pose to fire his off.]] His Resurrección logically takes it up a notch [[spoiler: as now he's carrying two guns and fittingly providing the page quote for BeamSpam.]] |
| 54 | ** [[spoiler:Adult Nel's]] has Cero Doble, which fires the opponent's Cero (after she ''swallows it!'') back, along with her own Cero added for extra power! [[spoiler:Pesche and Dondochakka's Cero Sincrético follow a similar idea, combining both of their Ceros and condensing them into a swirling ball of destruction]]. |
| 55 | ** It also happens that Hado #88, Hiryugekizokushintenraiho is a form of this. |
| 56 | ** [[JokeCharacter Don Kanonji]]'s "Kanon ball" is akin to a miniature Hadoken...that travels at ludicrously slow speed. But once it finally hits something, it explodes with surprisingly strong force. |
| 57 | * ''Anime/YuGiOh'' and ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' has several monsters that pull this off. They include Exodia, Obelisk the Tormentor, etc. |
| 58 | * ''Anime/PrettyCure'': |
| 59 | ** Most prevalent in ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'', where Pretty Cure Marble Screw (and its variations) and Pretty Cure Rainbow Storm are two-person Kamehame Hadoken variants. |
| 60 | ** ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'''s Pretty Cure Twin Stream Splash is quite similar to the Marble Screw variants, and ''its'' powered-up versions are even more like the standard Kamehame Hadoken. |
| 61 | ** ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'' stayed away from this for the most part. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Then Cure Mint figured out how to turn the Mint Shield into one.]] |
| 62 | ** It came back in ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure'' with Cure Happy's Happy Shower. It's a ''pink heart-shaped'' Kamehame Hadoken! |
| 63 | * ''Manga/GetterRobo'': '''GEEETTAAAAAAAA BEEEEEAAAAAAAAM!!!!''' |
| 64 | ** STOOOOOOOOOONAAAAAHHHH SUUUUUUUUUNNSHIIIIIIINE!! |
| 65 | * ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'': |
| 66 | ** [[spoiler:Vivio's Sankt Kaiser form]] used this against the titular character during the final battle of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers''. The BeamOWar against Nanoha's WaveMotionGun was inevitable. |
| 67 | ** Nanoha herself gets in on the action in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaDetonation''. After all of her weapons get damaged during the final battle, she proceeds to just send out a massive blast of magic from her left hand. [[spoiler:It completely obliterates the KillSat she was trying to destroy, though it fails to incapacitate the enemy android she was fighting.]] |
| 68 | * In ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'', Lina Inverse's Dragon Slave spell starts as a Kamehame Hadoken, and ends in a SphereOfDestruction. |
| 69 | * Nina does this to Arika during their first duel in ''Anime/MyOtome''. |
| 70 | * ''Literature/KyouranKazokuNikki'' has SantaClaus use this attack against [[CatGirl Kyouka]] during their duel. Yes, Santa Claus. |
| 71 | -->'''Santa Claus:''' MERRY... CHRISTMAS!! ''*BOOM*'' |
| 72 | * In ''Manga/Reborn2004'', there is Tsuna's ultimate technique, the X-Burner. This is different from most attacks of this type in that it actually attempts to [[ArtisticLicensePhysics actually follow the laws of physics]]. The X-Burner requires that Tsuna balances the massive force he exerts in the front with an equal force in the back, so that he doesn't get violently pushed back; most {{Kamehame Hadoken}}s have a MissingBackblast. This results in a unique execution of this trope in which the destructive beam is only fired from one hand, while the other hand provides the bracing force. Later on, he upgrades to the XX-Burner, which acts like a more traditional Kamehame Hadoken in that the destructive energy is fired from both hands. Nevertheless, it still [[AvertedTrope averts]] MissingBackblast, as the backwards force is now created through the Flame vents on the forearms of his [[PowerFist X-Gloves]]. |
| 73 | * In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' [[spoiler:Father]] acquires the ability to create such attacks after [[spoiler:acquiring the power of God]]. |
| 74 | * Technological example: the Radiant Wave Surger from ''Anime/CodeGeass'', built into the [[HumongousMecha Guren]]'s right hand. The tactic here is to grip the opponent then fire the microwave emitter built into the palm which [[AgonyBeam rapidly cooks the target mecha's pilot alive]] while turning the target itself into a pile of slag. It can even block bullets. Later on, it is upgraded to be capable of [[WaveMotionGun firing at long-range]] or firing over a large area to hit multiple enemies, putting them out of commission for a while. Then it gets upgraded again, this time giving it even stronger bullet-blocking as well as the ability to detach and launch the entire hand like a RocketPunch, only with a WaveMotionGun. |
| 75 | * This kind of power is rare in ''Manga/OnePiece'' despite the [[EverybodyWasKungFuFighting multitude of Martial Artists]], here are the closest things to it, not counting [[SwordBeam sword blasts]]. |
| 76 | ** [[GodGuise Enel]] can fire a beam known as "El Thor" or "God's Judgement" which while colored yellow in the manga, the anime [[AdaptationDyejob turns it blue]] making it [[https://pa1.narvii.com/6402/4cc7dcf791dd3b4996dae0c4602011520c6aff59_hq.gif very]] [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/powerlisting/images/2/26/Enel_El_Thor.gif/revision/latest?cb=20180306220618 similar]] to the Kamehameha except it's [[ShockAndAwe electricity]], not Ki. A normal human got ''disintegrated'' when hit by it, but RubberMan Luffy is completely immune to electricity so Enel's blasts are redundant. |
| 77 | ** [[LightIsNotGood Kizaru]] can both generate and transform his body into beams of light due to his Logia Devil Fruit. He can manifest this light into a variety of forms, including [[HandBlast finger beams]] which cause enormous explosions. |
| 78 | ** King Neptune uses Fish Man Karate technique called “Ultramarine”, and from the looks of it, it seems like an [[MakingASplash underwater]] version of a Kamehameha Wave. |
| 79 | ** Speaking of Fish-Man Karate there’s Jinbei’s “Spear Wave” [[https://c.tenor.com/vZ61abICuAsAAAAd/one-piece-jinbe.gif which is very Kamehameha-like]], especially in the anime. |
| 80 | ** There is also Rob Lucci's Rokuougan, which has the signature Kamehame Hadoken pose but generates an invisible shockwave instead of a visible beam of energy. |
| 81 | ** It's revealed in the Wano arc that advanced [[SuperToughness Armament]] [[KiManipulation Haki]] users can emit a concussive blast away from the user's body without a medium as demonstrated by [[http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2015/27/1435862411-one-piece-64938.jpg Sentomaru]], [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/56nartoepico/images/b/bf/Rayleigh%27s_Kenboushoku_Haki.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120912234304 Rayleigh]] and [[https://youtu.be/ZIUnjIfYFls?t=36 Hyo]]. |
| 82 | * In ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'' when Child Emperor is inside his HumongousMecha fighting Phoenix Man he performs ''Millennium Emperor Nova''... [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcReG3b8LCre6-rFJMvMmKD1LhQu6bBLtnTX-g&usqp=CAU a beam]] [[https://www.mangaread.org/wp-content/uploads/WP-manga/data/manga_5db92303ed13e/b7c8bd69ce194d45db99c57e15aab3d7/onepunch_man_150_38.jpg attack]] [[https://lelscans.net/mangas/one-punch-man/99/76.jpg?v=fr1545333048 so awesome]] [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/05/d3/07/05d3079c00cb1d09668879c64b9f65a1.png it is]] [[https://www.mangaread.org/wp-content/uploads/WP-manga/data/manga_5db92303ed13e/b7c8bd69ce194d45db99c57e15aab3d7/onepunch_man_150_41.jpg beyond]] [[https://www.imagemanga.online/aHR0cHM6Ly9jZG4uYmxhY2stY2xvdmVyLm9yZy9maWxlL3N1Z29pcy9vbmVwdW5jaC1tYW4vY2hhcHRlci0xMDAvNDUuanBn/aHR0cHM6Ly93dzEub25lcHVuY2gub25saW5lLw%3D%3D words]] [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f2/a1/72/f2a1727e909672649e0b0d30a962757f.jpg and]] [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/be/e4/ce/bee4ce2beb728975aa91586beb659961.jpg puts]] [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b2/82/83/b28283291ee21b11ae4355cd42d8e193.jpg Goku to shame]]. |
| 83 | * Several attacks from ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' are this, most notably [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 Silphymon]]'s Top Gun/Static Force. |
| 84 | ** Also [[Anime/DigimonDataSquad Rosemon]]'s [[http://wikimon.net/images/d/d4/Forbidden_Temptation.jpg Forbidden Temptation attack]]. |
| 85 | * In ''Anime/GaikingLegendOfDaikuMaryu'', while in [[HumongousMecha Gaiking]]'s [[SuperMode Face Open]] mode, Daiya can use a version of his ChestBlaster move, tempered by martial arts training, that gathers the [[AppliedPhlebotinum Flame energy]] in his hands before throwing it at the enemy. |
| 86 | * ''Anime/VariableGeo'': With the exception of [[TokenMiniMoe Manami]], who uses [[RocketPunch a rocket-powered glove]], the entire cast is capable of unleashing various forms of ki based energy blasts and ki-enhanced strikes. Which is best seen at the conclusion of [[https://youtu.be/tCKzZgkR1us?t=133 Yuka's match with Jun.]] |
| 87 | * In ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'', Ichiryu's strongest attack is a beam of pure Appetite Energy, which he unleashes against Midora in their final battle. [[spoiler:Midora is barely even hurt by it. Midora is driven to tears by this, lamenting that the big brother whom he once admired and envied has become so weak due to age.]] |
| 88 | * In ''Manga/{{Radiant}}'', Seth's spell ''Skull Attack'' gathers Fantasia into his hands to fire a giant skull beam. The stronger ''Skull Burst'' releases a combined barrage of skulls beams. |
| 89 | * ''Literature/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'': |
| 90 | ** Milim Nava's Drago Buster and Drago Nova, which are respectively a BeamSpam and FantasticNuke of her draconic energy fired from her hands. |
| 91 | ** PlayedForLaughs with Veldora, who thanks to reading the "sacred texts" (read. various manga) provided by Rimuru, learned how to use the ''[[IKnowMortalKombat actual]]'' Hadoken and Kamehameha among various other moves. Being a PhysicalGod, he's able to use them to impressive effect. |
| 92 | * ''Anime/RedBaron'': The Gold Baron's Rising Hurricane fires an energy blast from its hands, even performing the typical poses while preparing the attack. |
| 93 | [[/folder]] |
| 94 | |
| 95 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 96 | * One of the few western examples ''ComicBook/IronFist'' [[https://i.imgur.com/ItiAfBu.jpg can]] [[https://i.imgur.com/cl8M8Vh.jpg do]] [[https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/NmoYoyoCNB-9lxQiDeqPan9KITm3WzINUc5m3B5k0cxCjGrY9CwAeH5hQRNGy6NEjRGypfQDXNeV1ffhr0Ei8JBOQJ4C44Q-Z1EC-xv2A7e9A8GLD-zUdAaaHgqMJak9MjpD1paG this]] thanks to his KiManipulation. |
| 97 | * One of the powers of ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'s suit. She usually fires it from one hand at a time, but has done the classic double-palmed Hadoken. Since the suit's an EmpathicWeapon, it's usually really weak (in line with her self-esteem). Threaten her friends, though, and it'll [[LetsGetDangerous suddenly set itself to "Carbonise"]]. |
| 98 | * ''ComicBook/AstonishingXMen'': Cyclops uses an EyeBeams variant to destroy a Sentinel attacking the school in issue #8. |
| 99 | [[/folder]] |
| 100 | |
| 101 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 102 | * From the ''Fanfic/TamersForeverSeries'' we have [[spoiler: [=ChaosGallantmon=]]]'s ''Judecca Prison'' technique. |
| 103 | * ''Fanfic/WeissReacts'': [[spoiler: Tukson starts with the ORIGINAL Kamehameha. He also uses the Hadoken, as well as a blast of fire from his hands.]] |
| 104 | * In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2358485/1/What-Insertion What Insertion?]]'', one of these (referred to as "Dark Harsh") becomes Phibrizzo's best attack after he loses most of his abilities, subjecting his targets to a two-handed beam of what is essentially black and purple {{Hellfire}}. |
| 105 | * ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'': Aside from the usual attacks that are used this way (see below in the Videogame folder), Ritchie's Pikachu Sparky mimics the movements when using Charge Beam. |
| 106 | * In ''Street Fighter''/''Evangelion'' crossover ''Fanfic/NeonGenesisEvangelionSenshiNoMichi'', Shinji and Asuka learn the technique, and are able to get their mechas shooting ''Eva-sized'' Hadokens; as was proven when Shinji's Eva fired a massive Shinkuu Hadoken to counter Ramiel's energy beam. |
| 107 | * ''Fanfic/VoyagesOfTheWildSeaHorse'': |
| 108 | ** Ranma Saotome can use the Moko Takabisha, an AngstNuke powered by his confidence. [[spoiler:He later unlocks elemental versions in the form of fire and ice blasts, created by adapting the basic technique of the Moko Takabisha.]] |
| 109 | ** Ryoga Hibiki uses the Shishi Hokodan, an AngstNuke that converts his despair into a concussive force beam. The sadder he is, the more powerful it gets. |
| 110 | [[/folder]] |
| 111 | |
| 112 | [[folder:Film -- Animation]] |
| 113 | * There are a couple of examples in ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternFirstFlight'' in the finale. [[spoiler: After Hal Jordan reactivates the Green Element and becomes rather Ion-like, he one-hand blasted Sinestro through several buildings. Then during their last DBZ-style ring powered fist fight, Hal uses the last power in his ring for a nice, big blast.]] |
| 114 | * ''WesternAnimation/SupermanBatmanApocalypse'': Superman unleashes a massive burst of HeatVision to destroy an army of Doomsday clones attacking Themyscira. Some Youtube comments even compare it to the Kamehameha. |
| 115 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Tyler pretends to do this when Mei succeeds in a rise out of Ming. |
| 116 | [[/folder]] |
| 117 | |
| 118 | [[folder:Film -- Live-Action]] |
| 119 | * Yes, the Kamehameha shows up in ''Film/DragonballEvolution''. Either from unmitigated gall or a need to give the studio's legal department a workout, the writers decided to call it ''[[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender airbending]]''. |
| 120 | * While it wasn't very powerful in the games, Liu Kang's [[https://youtu.be/uyfW6Wei0mE?t=183 attack is used as a finishing move]] in ''Film/MortalKombatTheMovie'', where he uses it to throw [[BigBad Shang Tsung]] into the SpikesOfDoom. Of course, given that it is delivered at a range of about a foot means that some viewers may have missed that it was a magic attack [[FreezeFrameBonus when watching for the first time]]. They simply assumed Liu Kang did a double-fist punch. |
| 121 | * In ''Film/TheAvengers2012'' Iron Man [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m81buqj5dM1qcw2r4o1_500.gif does the Kamehameha pose while shooting a replusor beam]] aiming at Captain America’s shield. The beam reflects and takes out the Chitauri surrounding them. |
| 122 | * The ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'': |
| 123 | ** In ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}'', the lightning blast Diana does to finish off Ares is ''[[https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-9cda5487bde15d7ef676311a4081cbac very reminiscent]]'' to the Kamehameha, as WebVideo/CinemaSins [[https://youtu.be/ve3oQBjcAGI?t=907 noted]]. |
| 124 | ** Like father like daughter, Zeus in ''Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague'' performs a [[https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-233494af60bfc3ffd33417292b340494 Kamehameha-esque lighting blast]] to seperate the Motherboxes during a FlashBack. |
| 125 | ** Video game enthusiast Eugene, does the pose and cries "Hadoken!" while using his ShockAndAwe powers in ''[[Film/Shazam2019 Shazam]]'' at one point in the FinalBattle. |
| 126 | * Seen in ''Film/TheSorcerersApprentice'' especially during the finale, complete with BeamSpam. |
| 127 | * In the 1992 Hong Kong action comedy film, ''Film/KingOfBeggars'', starring Creator/StephenChow featured this. [[spoiler:It was the final stance for the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" which is used to ultimately kill the BigBad of the film. ]] |
| 128 | * During the climax of ''Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings'', the titular hero [[spoiler: using his mother's chi-Aerokinesis and his father’s Rings]] makes a golden energy ball which he gathers behind him in a Kamehameha-Hadoken pose, [[spoiler: although he decides not follow through with the attack out of love for his father whom he is fighting]]. ''Dragon Ball'' even gets [[ShoutOut referenced]] at the end by Shang-Chi’s pop culture savvy friend Katy who likens Shang’s final attack against the Dweller-in-Darkness to the Kamehameha while excitedly explaining the adventure to their disbelieving [[{{Muggles}} normie friends]]. |
| 129 | * The ''Film/Guardians2017'' can do this when they combine their powers. It's enough to level skyscrapers. |
| 130 | * In ''Film/{{Morbius|2022}}'' during the climax fight with BigBad Milo, the titular science vampire fires a ''bat'' version of this ([[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ1eE1rmJ64&t=245s we’re serious]]) to finish off his nemesis. |
| 131 | * In ''Film/ReadyPlayerOne'', Parzival pulls out an actual Hadoken in his one-on-one confrontation with Sorrento after reaching the last key. Ryu himself also shows up and uses it during the final battle. |

| 136 | ** Ditto his Franchise/SuperSentai counterpart, [[Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger Ninjaman/Samuraiman]]. |
| 137 | ** Green Ranger also does one when he first fought the Rangers in "Green With Evil, Part 1". |
| 138 | * Ando from ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' can occasionally do this. It's not quite as epic as most Kamehame Hadoken attacks, but it looks very much the same. |
| 139 | * Wanda aka Scarlet Witch in ''Series/WandaVision'' does a [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4fFMlolMo_Q&t=100s Hadoken-like]] BeamSpam against [[spoiler: Agatha]] in the FinalBattle. |
| 140 | * These tend to be the {{Finishing Move}}s of just about all the [[Franchise/UltraSeries Ultramen]]. |

| 143 | [[folder:Professional Wrestling]] |
| 144 | * Wrestling/KennyOmega, Wrestling/XavierWoods, and Player Uno, all noted Street Fighter fans, have been known to use the Hadoken, in this instance a double palm strike mimicking the motions of a Hadoken, sans fireball for [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome obvious reasons]]. Omega's requires a few moments of concentration but is most always successful, and Uno's is rather instant but is regularly blocked by his opponent raising their forearms. Used once against his own partner Player Dos (then known as Stupified) to which Stup. complained against his use of superpowers. |
| 145 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s8jO3HCdPI&feature=related This clip]] features Japanese wrestler Men's Teioh channeling Ryu in a battle with Abdullah Kobayashi. |

| 147 | |
| 148 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 149 | * The recent supplement to ''TabletopGame/MutantsAndMasterminds'', Mecha & Manga, has the power, Devastating Blast. The power fits this trope entirely (as was intended in this anime-based supplement) and you may spend combat turns to charge the power, increasing the power's damage. |
| 150 | * Classic 1st-block ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' combo [[GameBreaker Channel and Fireball]]. 19 Health turned into mana + 1 point of other mana = 20pts of damage directly to your opponent's face. That's one big fireball. Worse, the original combo was Black Lotus, Channel, and Fireball, which was incidentally a first turn (or alternatively, turn zero, as the opponent never gets a turn) OneHitKill. And keep in mind this was in the days before the number of copies of any card was restricted, so you could have a deck that consisted of literally nothing but Black Lotuses, Channels, and Fireballs. Think someone charging up a Kamehameha or Hadouken, and then think of their opponent unleashing a blast of equal or greater power before they get to finish the first syllable. Fun times. |
| 151 | ** Also, later sets of Magic gave us Demonfire and Banefire, cards with similar effects to the classic Fireball. This is, of course, long after the days of the environment of Channel/Fireball, so obviously they require a much greater investment, so what makes them so special, you ask? They can't be countered or prevented as long as you have no cards left in hand or are dealing five or more damage with them, respectively. What they lack in First Turn Kill combo-liciousness they make up for by being nigh unstoppable blasts of destruction. |
| 152 | *** [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=186613 Banefire]] is especially awesome, because it is depicted in the card art as Sarkhan Vol's hands in the Kamehame Hadoken stance, enhanced by magic to look like a dragon's head breathing fire. |
| 153 | * When ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' first introduced the Warlock class, the core ability that defined the class was the [[http://www.heroesoflesserearth.com/2006/01/hole_comic_2006-01-10gif/ Eldritch Blast,]] a single-target ranged attack that could be cast at-will and did massive amounts of damage on par with a rogue's sneak attack. |
| 154 | ** A supplemental book also introduced "Ki Blast," a moderately damaging blast of energy that ate up a Monk's use of Ki. As soon as TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'s Beta came out and revealed that Monks would now use Ki Pools and have Ki Points, many a DM jumped on this with succeeding feats which upped the damage of the Ki Blast, until they hit Kamehame Hadoken levels of damage - some to the point that a gimped-out Monk built only for blasting their Chi could, while probably not able to outright kill, at least cut a Great Wyrm Red Dragon's HP in half by going from full Ki to zilch in one turn to power a mega blast. |
| 155 | ** In the ''Ultimate Magic'' sourcebook for ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'', one of the alternate class "archetypes" presented in the Qinggong Monk, who specializes in KiManipulation. As a result, it can gain a number of spells fuelled by its [[{{Mana}} ki pool]], two of which are the extremely Hadouken-like "Blood Crow Strike"[[note]]hurls multiple spherical bolts of flame at a target[[/note]] and the somewhat Kamehame Ha-like "Cold Ice Strike"[[note]]blasts a line of freezing-cold energy and/or ice shards from the hands[[/note]]. |
| 156 | *** The Advanced Class Guide introduced the Warpriest class and it's sister Archetype, the Sacred Fist. Both derive their spell lists from the Cleric, which Blood Crow Strike is unique to. Blood Crow Strike lets you make melee unarmed attacks at a range of 100+ feet away. The book also introduced Pummeling Style, a feat which allows its user to focus all of their unarmed & natural attacks into one melee strike. Preferred Spell allows a mage to cast a spell without preparing it ahead of time by burning up prepared spells, and Spell Perfection allows one to apply a Metamagic Feat to a spell without raising its level. It took less than a week after the book's publication for players to figure out that either an unarmed Warpriest or a Sacred Fist that takes takes all these options can pool them together to launch Kamehame Hadoken-sized single blasts from hundreds of feet from its target. EVERY. ROUND. WITHOUT HAVING PREPARED THEM AHEAD OF TIME. As of yet, fittingly, it is perhaps the single-most-powerful non-Mythic maneuver in the game, capable of unleashing literally HUNDREDS of damage on a target. |
| 157 | ** Similar to D&D's Warlock, ''Pathfinder'' also includes the Kineticist, whose entire shtick is throwing elemental blasts. These blasts can be upgraded by spending a few seconds gathering power, or by taking [[CastFromHitPoints "burn"]]. |
| 158 | ** The ''[[TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms Sword Coast]] Adventurer's Guide'' for the fifth edition of the game adds the [[Main/ThePowerOfTheSun Way of the Sun Soul]] subclass for the [[Main/AllMonksKnowKungFu Monk]], which allows the Monk to channel their Ki into searing blasts of energy that deal [[Main/PlayingWithFire Fire]] and [[LightEmUp Radiant]] damage. |
| 159 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' ''of course'' features these in abundance. They range from shooting [[GoodHurtsEvil Holy]] beams of light off of the edge of your sword (for Solars) to unleashing bolts of pure elemental energy (for the Dragon-Blooded). |
| 160 | [[/folder]] |
| 161 | |
| 162 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 163 | * The second part of the name comes from the Hadoken ("Surge Fist"; the "hadou" part can also be translated as "wave motion", as in WaveMotionGun) used by Ryu and Ken (and Akuma and Sakura and Gouken) from the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' series, specifically the Shinkuu Hadoken (A big fireball in the canonical games and a huge beam in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' and its successor ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom''; the latter fits the definition of the trope more). It's even commonly said that the designers were inspired by the Kamehameha when they came up with the Hadoken. |
| 164 | ** Chun-Li's "Kikosho" attack is a stationary version of this. Rather than a beam of death, it's a SphereOfDestruction (which is an upgraded version of her standard projectile, the Kikoken, which fits here more neatly). |
| 165 | ** There's a lot of 'em in ''Street Fighter''. Aside from the mentioned: |
| 166 | *** Dee Jay's Air Slasher and Guile and Charlie's Sonic Boom: Both are more accurately RazorWind powers, done without swords, as they involve pressurized air manipulated by Ki instead of actual ki. |
| 167 | *** Juri has the Fuuhajin, strange, slow moving purple versions [[ExtremityExtremist fired from her feet]]. |
| 168 | *** Oro's Nichirinsho is a spherical version, with the largest, the Yagyo Dama, being a CombinedEnergyAttack. |
| 169 | *** Rose and M. Bison have their own Soul and Psycho-powered fireballs (though Bison only uses his in the ''Alpha'' series), though whether these are Ki or Psychic attacks is debatable. |
| 170 | *** [[JokeCharacter Dan]] has the Gadouken, which he does one-handed and travels a pathetic distance (as part of the character's blatant mockery of ''VideoGame/ArtOfFighting'' - see below[[note]]Ryo also fires his Koohken one-handed, and it has slim-to-none range when the ManaMeter is empty - when the Kyokugen style was ported to ''Franchise/TheKingOfFighters'', the Koohken became a next-door range projectile by standard[[/note]]). However, as of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'', it no longer does pathetic damage as well, instead being [[LethalJokeCharacter more powerful and even more damaging than Ryu's version]]. Particularly the Ultra form, the [[PunnyName Haoh Gadoken]], where it's several times the size of Ryu's and so powerful it [[LawOfInverseRecoil knocks Dan down.]] |
| 171 | * ''VideoGame/IntrepidIzzy'': Izzy's special attack lets her fire magenta balls of energy from the palms of her hands. |
| 172 | * Batsu and Hideo of ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' (and later Kurow as Vatsu in ''Project Justice'') have {{Combination Attack}}s where their partners do this with them (Batsu/Vatsu does it standing next to his partner firing their attacks together, whereas Hideo and his partner flank the opponent and "crush" him/her with their attacks). Burning Batsu in ''Project Justice'' uses a beam-firing variant. |
| 173 | ** One of Akira's specials, the Kikokai, works a lot like the aforementioned Kikosho: it's a large energy sphere concentrated in her hands. |
| 174 | ** Kyosuke's Cross Cutter and Hinata's Kikou Shotei are also examples (Hinata in particular, her being a {{Shotoclone}}). |
| 175 | ** Hayato has a Team Attack where he ''beats'' one out of his partner and launches it at the opponent. |
| 176 | * ''[[VideoGame/ArtOfFighting Art of Fighting's]]'' infamous Haoh Shokoken, used by series protagonists Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia (which Ryo's little sister Yuri also picks up throughout ''Franchise/TheKingOfFighters''), is the Hadoken on steroids. The move results in a massive wall of Ki that can drain the target of half their lifebar in a single blast! Their master Takuma Sakazaki (and father, in Ryo's case) can use it to even greater effect; capable of launching it three times rapidly in succession. And in their team's ''[[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters2000 KoF 2000]]'' ending, he uses it to deflect a blast from the [[KillSat Zero Cannon!]] |
| 177 | * ''VideoGame/DodgeballAcademia'': Otto is capable of doing this for his Balltimate move, where he can pull a goku with this technique. He never really got it at first, but gets it sooner than you’d think. |
| 178 | * ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': |
| 179 | ** The Pokémon that is best known with this ability is Lucario, a Fighting type who is able sense and use aura. Its most famous attack is [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Aura_Sphere_(move) Aura Sphere]], which is essentially a Hadoken. Other Pokémon are capable of learning the move and other similar attacks, the various "pulse" attacks, including Mewtwo. Starting with Generation VI, the Squirtle line is capable of learning Aura Sphere through breeding as well. Thus, Blastoise is capable of using Kamehameha literally. |
| 180 | ** The move [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Focus_Blast_(move) Focus Blast]], which is more powerful than Aura Sphere, is generally depicted in this fashion as well. It's often the only option for a usable Fighting-type move for many Special attackers, though its infamous [[PowerfulButInaccurate unreliability]] have earned it the nickname 'Focus Miss' from competitive players. |
| 181 | ** There's a special ability that increases the power of these kinds of moves called Mega Launcher. The only Pokémon that are capable of having it are Clauncher (a pistol shrimp with an [[{{BFG}} enormous claw]]) and [[SuperMode Mega Blastoise]]. |
| 182 | * ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'': |
| 183 | ** Some [[FinishingMove Final Smashes]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', like the [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] Finale. |
| 184 | ** The Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Lucario's signature attack, Aura Sphere, is a blatant Hadoken look-alike of the large projectile variety, and its Final Smash in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is the continuous beam variety. It's even ''called'' "Hadoudan" in Japan! |
| 185 | ** Likewise, in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', the Pokémon Mewtwo uses Shadow Ball, which resembles a purple-and-black Kamehameha. |
| 186 | ** And, of course, [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu]] utilizes the TropeNamer in his appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U[=/=]3DS'', alongside Ken in ''Ultimate''. |
| 187 | ** In ''Ultimate'', the ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' Hero casts [[PlayingWithFire Kafrizz]] by cupping his hands to his side and thrusting them forward, just like a [[Manga/DragonBall Kamehameha]]. |
| 188 | * A number of ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' characters have this technique at their disposal, but the most common variation is undoubtedly Marisa Kirisame's ''Master Spark'' (never mind that she has to cup a magical artifact in her hands to launch the beam; the pose is the same). |
| 189 | ** Here is example from a fanvideo: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wAbACOuvWc Marisa's Final Spark/Final Master Spark]] starting at 5:10. |
| 190 | ** [[http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/File:Spark_lesson.jpg Laser is not difficult]]. |
| 191 | ** Yuuka Kazami, the original creator of the Master Spark, does the same, but uses her [[ParasolOfPain umbrella]] to launch the attack, and also clones herself so she actually gets TWO Master Sparks. In the fanon game ''VideoGame/TouhouSoccer 2'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4DNBlhRrCw&feature=related Mima can join her]] for ''three'' Master Sparks. Mima herself is not one to be outdone, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kofnEdB8Blc&feature=related even by herself]]. |
| 192 | ** Tenshi Hinanawi's TitleDrop Attack from Scarlet Weather Rhapsody is a "laser" is made of many, ''many'' bullets packed together so tightly there's no space between them. |
| 193 | * ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'': |
| 194 | ** Cloud of Darkness in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII'' has its signature Particle Beam attack. In the DS version, it builds it by charging the energy between its hands; which are cupped, facing each other, and stacked vertically, and then fires it as a beam of energy by separating its hands. |
| 195 | ** It comes back with a vengeance in Dissidia, featuring several forms of the Particle Beam and Cloud of Darkness' [[LimitBreak EX Burst]] being a massive Particle Beam that is described in-game as leaving nothing but dust. |
| 196 | ** Mash/Sabin Rene Figaro's [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/vsbattles/images/e/e4/AuraCannon.gif/revision/latest/top-crop/width/150/height/150?cb=20160629040826 Aura Cannon]] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI''. |
| 197 | *** Worth noting Sabin's special moves are actually done by entering fighting-game-like button combos. The one for Aura Cannon? Quarter-circle forward, the [[ShoutOut same input]] as a Hadoken in Street Fighter. |
| 198 | ** Barret's final limit, Catastrophe, from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' is a similar attack but is actually superheated plasma being shot from his ArmCannon. It is, however, implied to be fueled by the very life essence of The Planet. |
| 199 | ** Tifa in the ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'' at the end of her “Omnistrike” combo does the Kamehameha stance and [[https://media1.tenor.com/images/8b2fc06e64efd3d444e81238b4b240fc/tenor.gif?itemid=15984901 unleashes a blast from her hands]]. Given Tifa explicitly uses “[[KiManipulation Chi]]” in this game it’s quite appropriate. |
| 200 | *** There’s also Tifa’s “[[https://i.makeagif.com/media/5-09-2020/9zsK9o.gif Chi Trap]]” which operates similar to Chun-Li’s Kikosho being a SphereOfDestruction, but also allows Tifa to trap and combo her opponents. |
| 201 | ** Basch in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' has a [[LimitBreak quickening]] called "Fulminating Darkness" (How's ''that'' for an attack name?), which superficially resembles Vegeta's Final Flash, except it's a beam of swirling greenish-black energy. It's actually the weakest of Basch's quickenings, though. |
| 202 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' gives the Monk job two different ki projectile attacks: "Elixir Field", which fires ki into the ground to damage enemies in an AOE around the Monk; and "Enlightenment", which fires a ki projectile forward, damaging enemies in a direct line. |
| 203 | * Regal, of ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'', has one of these. It is only ever seen once. Well, maybe twice. |
| 204 | * From ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'', DHAOS LASER! [[ThatOneBoss So friggin' powerful, it may as well qualify as a]] WaveMotionGun. |
| 205 | * Sometimes when you rescue a hostage in the ''VideoGame/MetalSlug'' series, he will start acting as an AssistCharacter, following you and throwing guided fireballs from his hands. |
| 206 | * The Pyro of ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' has a taunt that mimicks this, with Pyro even saying a muffled "HADOKEN!". The taunt instantly kills anyone standing next to it. Can be viewed [[https://youtu.be/lYUIA8pp53k?t=16 here]]. |
| 207 | ** There was a [[GoodBadBugs bug]] with the Soldier's Cow Mangler 5000 that can look like this. If the Soldier taunts while charging a shot, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3roqd3rOtPs he will shoot a laser from his chest or hands]]. |
| 208 | *** The bug persists with the Beggar's Bazooka, however instead of a laser, it's one to three rockets coming out of his hands. The "Director's Vision" special taunt looks the most like the trope. |
| 209 | * In ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireDragonQuarter'', the protagonist can perform this in the form of the 'Dragon Breath' attack, when using his DeadlyUpgrade form. At the end of the game, he even manages to get in a BeamOWar with an actual dragon. |
| 210 | * In ''VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness'' (and its handheld ports), characters can level up their mastery of weapon types to gain various special attacks. For those of the martial artist career path, these attacks consist largely of simple punch and kick combos for the first few levels... until they obtain the 'Lions Roar' technique, which costs more than ''ten times'' as much mana as their previous moves, often requiring mana-boosting equipment to use even once per fight when it is first acquired. When the attack is used, the character somersaults into the sky, pushing their back up against the lens of the isometric camera, and throws an enormous Kamehame Hadoken, killing everything within a large radius of their original position before falling gently to earth. Awesome. |
| 211 | ** The Blazing Palm special in ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 3|Absence of Justice}}'' is a much more modest fiery Kamehameha, without the absurd MP cost of Lion's Roar. The Nekomata monster class gets its own version of this: Cat Blast. |
| 212 | * One of the attacks of Soulgain in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' is called [[TheFourGods Seiryuu Rin]]... which is practically this trope exemplified. While weaker than Soulgain's other attacks, it's the only attack that allows multi-enemy targeting. |
| 213 | ** Rushbird's Light Blazer from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsL''. |
| 214 | * In ''VideoGame/DragonQuestHeroesIITwinKingsAndTheProphecysEnd'', the [[LimitBreak High-Tension Attack]] for [[PlayerCharacter Lazarel/Teresa]] when they take on the Martial Artist vocation takes the form of them collecting lightning from above in their hands, then tossing it out in a similar manner to a [[Manga/DragonBall Kamehameha]]. |
| 215 | * Zeus Guys in ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' use this as their primary attack. |
| 216 | * In ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'', Pierce throws a Hadouken in a Japanese commercial for a sports drink. The Boss can also mimic the act of throwing a fireball as a taunt, though it doesn't actually throw fireballs. In the final mission of the DLC ''The Trouble With Clones'', however, the Boss is temporarily granted, among other special powers, the ability to throw fireballs. |
| 217 | * In the ''VideoGame/ToTheMoon'' series, Dr. Watts likes to have fun with the memory cores, and throw them around while screaming "KAAAAAMEEEEEHAAAAAMEEEEE!", "HADOKEN!" or a combination of the two. The more professional Dr. Rosalene is not amused. |
| 218 | ** The second episode has him invoke this trope by name. |
| 219 | * Julian's Soul Bomb attack in ''VideoGame/LittleFighter2''. |
| 220 | * Dark Demon in ''VideoGame/DynamiteHeaddy'' has a beam attack that takes up nearly the entire screen. |
| 221 | * Fei in ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'' has an attack resembling this as one of his final Deathblows. |
| 222 | ** His "chi blast" spell when used in his gear is straight up Kamehame Hadoken or Wave Motion Fist except it looks be somewhat fire elemental, even though its not. His special option ability "Thor Wave" is an even better example. |
| 223 | * Franchise/{{Kirby}}'s fully-charged shot from his Plasma ability (Which is later merged into the Spark ability) attack looks like this. It doesn't hurt that his hat for this ability looks like a green version of Goku's Super Saiyan hair. |
| 224 | ** Kirby also has access to multiple versions of this with the Fighter ability, first being able to instantaneously launch a wave of energy with a kick or punch in ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar''. These were replaced in the following games with a chargeable fireball launched in the exact same fashion as the classic Hadoken. Eventually, ''Return to Dreamland'' gave the ability ''both'' of the aforementioned attacks, and threw an additional nod to the Hadoken by allowing Kirby to instantly launch a charged fireball with a quarter circle forward motion. |
| 225 | * Linn Kurosawa gets one of these in ''VideoGame/AlienVsPredatorCapcom''. |
| 226 | * [[ShoutOut Invoked]] in ''VideoGame/{{Worms}}'' for the Dragon Ball (named after the Dragon Punch and Fireball/Hadoken from ''Franchise/StreetFighter'') weapons. |
| 227 | * ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' has the Geno Beam. Also, Jinx has Bombs Away, which is also the most powerful physical attack in the game. |
| 228 | * ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'': As opposed to the honorable trope namers, the game's resident cheating bastard, Destroyman, uses the sphere-type [[CallingYourAttacks Destroy Cannon]]. The Destroy Buster (beam-type), however, comes from somewhere else. |
| 229 | * Despite being a clone of the ''Street Fighter'' games, the Platform/{{SNES}} version of ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTournamentFighters'' is pretty light on this. Only Raphael and Wingnut come close. |
| 230 | * The ''VideoGame/MadKarateMan'' does this to boost the speed of the businessman. |
| 231 | * Cliff Fittir's Max Shockwave in ''VideoGame/StarOceanTillTheEndOfTime''. |
| 232 | * Several [[BareFistedMonk martial artists]] in the ''VideoGame/{{Suikoden}}'' series come equipped with special runes which allow them to execute this kind of attack. |
| 233 | * The massive series of ''Franchise/DragonBall'' games, especially the ''VideoGame/DragonBallZBudokai'' games, and ''especially'' the ''VideoGame/DragonBallZBudokaiTenkaichi'' games. |
| 234 | ** Goku in the Platform/PlayStation2 fighter ''Super Dragon Ball Z'' has a Kamehameha that hits like a 3-hit hadoken. Considering that the project was headed by the producer of ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' and the [[Franchise/StreetFighter Street Fighter series]], this makes some sense. |
| 235 | * Alex Mercer of ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'' has one. However, given [[BodyHorror what he is]], it's made of tentacles. |
| 236 | * In ''[[VideoGame/MitsumeteKnight Mitsumete Knight R : Daibouken Hen]]'', one of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExosTp1Q-1w#t=4m42s three most powerful]] {{Limit Break}}s is this. It's fueled with ThePowerOfLove, as you need ''both'' of your two female partners to have very high RelationshipValues with your main protagonist, [=McLeod=]. |
| 237 | * In ''VideoGame/JackieChansActionKungFu'', Creator/JackieChan can do "psycho wave" attacks for a limited number of times. |
| 238 | * ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'' has a series of knuckle weapons and a character that can use them. The use of this trope (the [[SwordOfPlotAdvancement Umbra Knuckles']] [[CastingAShadow Shadow Cannon]]) was inevitable. |
| 239 | * Parodied in ''VideoGame/AdventureQuestWorlds'' with Ryoku's Soul Nuke. As the Kitsune saga in general and the Dragon Koi Tournament in particular is pretty much a parody of popular anime, the attack takes a month or so to actually charge up (which is roughly enough time for the saga in general to wrap up). It ultimately never gets used, as by the time the final wrapping up cutscene of the saga rolls around, your character unceremoniously knocks Ryoku out just as he's finally about to cut loose. |
| 240 | * The ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' series gives us the Nova Skeletons, or as they're better described, '''''skeletons with Kamehamehas'''''. In ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow Dawn of Sorrow]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia Order of Ecclesia]]'', you can steal their beams. |
| 241 | ** Dark Inferno which was first used by {{Dracula}} in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaRondoOfBlood'' [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/castlevania/images/2/2d/HD_Dark_Inferno.gif/revision/latest?cb=20181213061445 functions]] similarly to the Hadoken or any of the destructive sphere Ki attacks from DBZ |
| 242 | ** In ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight Symphony of the Night]]'', the Fist of Tulkas has a fireball special attack triggered by doing the exact same button combo as a hadoken in Streetfighter. |
| 243 | * The Flame in ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersia2: The Shadow and the Flame'' is thrown much like a Hadoken. |
| 244 | * The title character in ''VideoGame/KuriKinton'' (a little known arcade game by Creator/{{Taito}}) can do this by holding down the attack button and letting go when fully charged. |
| 245 | * In ''VideoGame/MegaManX'', X is able to learn the Hadoken in [[VideoGame/MegaManX1 the first game]] as an EasterEgg. |
| 246 | ** Being an {{expy}} of Akuma, [[PlayingWithFire Magma Dragoon]] from ''X4'' uses fiery versions of these. |
| 247 | ** In ''VideoGame/MegaManXCommandMission'', each member of the Ninetails Clan have a move called "Annihilator Hadoken", which has them firing a large laser to hit all enemies. Ninetails himself even has a chance to OneHitKill you with it. |
| 248 | * In the game ''VideoGame/PerfectWorld International'' there is a class known as the Mystic who has access to this in the form of their "Absorb Soul" attack. |
| 249 | * ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'': |
| 250 | ** [[spoiler:Berserker Asura]] combines this with BeamSpam and MacrossMissileMassacre, using four Mantra arms to charge and fire enough beams to chew through an entire armada. |
| 251 | ** Being [[spoiler:Berserker Asura's]] EvilCounterpart, [[spoiler:[[HumanoidAbomination Vlitra Core]]]] fights similarly via charging and firing massive beams from its four [[spoiler:magma]] arms. |
| 252 | ** [[spoiler: Chakravartin, AKA God, fires an ultra-massive super laser -- powerful enough to qualify as a WaveMotionGun, and much more powerful than the Brahmastra, the weapon meant to destroy ''Gohma Vlitra'' -- at Earth, intending to destroy it and begin anew. Planets in the path of the beam are ''vaporised''. Unfortunately for Chakravartin, Asura ''isn't having it''.]] |
| 253 | * ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' introduced the Kamehameha as a Mythic weapon drop as part of the game's cross-promotion with ''Anime/DragonBallSuper''. Picking up a Kamehameha grants the player three charges that, when fired, unleashes a devastating beam after a few seconds of charge-up. The Kamehameha is capable of not only tearing through buildings and structures like wet tissue paper, but can make short work of opponents. |
| 254 | * In ''VideoGame/MyLittlePonyFightingIsMagic'', Twilight Sparkle has this attack. The gems Rarity summons also serve as this for her. |
| 255 | * Malik Caesars from ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces'' can unleash the Mystic Arte "Malik Beam", in which he turns his back to the enemy, and then this trope came out ''from his back''. |
| 256 | ** Hubert from the same game, during his Mystic Arte "No Quarter," also inexplicably gets to do this too. With one beam in each hand. |
| 257 | * Kleito in ''VideoGame/TearsToTiara2'' transforms into her dragon form and shoots the Flames of Creation from her hands. |
| 258 | * Combat Girl from Super ''VideoGame/MondayNightCombat'' fires a "combat laser" out of thin air apparently by sheer power of will. |
| 259 | * In ''VideoGame/BookOfMagesTheDarkTimes'', mages have access to the Combined Bolt attack, which works by gathering all of the mage's [[BeamSpam attacking and defending bolts]] into a single crescent-shaped blast that tears through most enemies' defenses. In particular, the mages of the Burning Hill and Great Sea clans rely on this ability to overwhelm their enemies' defenses. |
| 260 | * ''VideoGame/TheWindRoad'' grants you the ability to blast enemies with both hands after your first return from the Spirit Realm. You can upgrade your Hadoken-esque attack so that your energy blasts manifests [[ShapingYourAttacks as a glowing golden Chinese dragon]]. |
| 261 | * ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' expansion ''Mists of Pandaria'' introduced the Monk class that uses Chi to do all sorts of mystical things. One talent they can take in the level 30 tier is called "Chi Blast" and for all intents and purposes, is a Kamehameha, that can heal allies as well as deal damage. |
| 262 | ** Some of the game's character casting animations are reminiscent of the standard stance for these kinds of techniques, though only the Monk class is using chi. |
| 263 | * ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' introduces the ability to equip each hand separately, allowing for dual-wielding weapons, dual-wielding spells, or dual-wielding weapons and spells. For spells, you can pick a low-level perk in each magic school's perk tree for "Dual-casting". Any spell in a school with its dual-cast perk enabled that projects onto a target (as opposed to on the caster) will do a Kamehame Hadoken, complete with charge buildup. Doing so amps up the effect beyond what just tandem-casting separately would do. For best visual flair, use the Adept-level [[SplashDamage area-effect]] [[FireIceLightning destruction spells]]. The Lightning Master level spell is also a great version of one with a sustained beam. Unlike the other AwesomeButImpractical Master level spells, you might find yourself using it as more than just a novelty spell. |
| 264 | * ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'' has the unique attack ''Magma Axis'', in which the Demi-Fiend essentially lights his arms on fire, gathers explosive energy and lashes at an enemy. It's not a particularly good attack, but it's [[RuleOfCool quite cool to see]]. |
| 265 | * In ''VideoGame/ShadowWarOfSuccession'', Riggs's (very spammable) "Hellfire" attack sends flaming clawed hands at his opponent. |
| 266 | * Zane of the ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky'' series has this one. He uses it as one of his S-Craft attacks. Called; Aura Blast. Just as long as the enemies are within the attack circle range, they will get hit with it. |
| 267 | * In the ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' reboot, Ryu has the Art of the Inferno ninpo, and the Warlocks have a similar magic projectile attack. |
| 268 | * ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'' has the Soul Stream spell, which looks near identical to Goku's Kamehameha (though it's fired from a magic staff rather than one's hands). The attack deals heavy damage and looks incredibly powerful, though its long charge-up time and very high FP cost make its use situational at best. [[spoiler:The FinalBoss knows this spell, and ''he'' doesn't have limited FP.]] |
| 269 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}'', Jenos' ultimate, Through Time and Space, has him channel his energy and then fire a big, cosmic blast of energy similar to a Kamehameha. The blast is so powerful, that it goes through any obstacle in its path and travels through the entire map. This is balanced by an aura showing its trajectory before it fires, giving enemies time to react. |
| 270 | * In ''VideoGame/BionicCommando: Rearmed'', this is Gottfried Groeder's primary attack, which deals massive damage to Spencer and is fired with greater frequency the higher the difficulty level. Good luck beating him on [[HarderThanHard Super Hard]]. |
| 271 | * Magic Squirrel's super in ''VideoGame/FightOfAnimals'' is a large spray of water that visually resembles the Kamehameha. |
| 272 | * In ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' monks with the Sun Soul kit, like the new character Rasaad introduced by the UpdatedRerelease, can throw a damaging fireball known as the Sun Soulray. |
| 273 | * The Arch-Vile from ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' has a long-range flame attack that uses the standard charge-and-release arm animation. |
| 274 | * In ''VideoGame/Haven2020'', the Duo Blast is a two-person version of this. |
| 275 | * ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombiesGardenWarfare 2'': [[SupermanSubstitute Super Brainz]] can launch a "Super Ultra Ball" [[DeathFromAbove and can even perform the move in mid-air]]. It comes in two additional flavors, as a HomingProjectile and a barrage of many smaller balls. |
| 276 | * ''VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds'': Oleander’s Shadow Spark attack is a ball of dark magic that she can set out at different speeds and powers. |
| 277 | * ''VideoGame/EldenRing'' has the legendary sorcery Comet Azur, which fires a huge beam of magical energy that lasts as long as the caster holds down the attack button and has FP. It's somewhat difficult to use due to a lengthy windup and the caster being stuck in place for the duration, but very potent. |
| 278 | * Rulue from ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' is capable of these in several of the ''VideoGame/MadouMonogatari'' games, though the exact name of the technique varies by game. |
| 279 | * Joe from ''VideoGame/MysticDefender'' uses blue hadouken energy blasts for targeting his enemies, and can even hold them down for a ChargedAttack. He's depicted using one of these in the game's cover art, in a SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou manner. |
| 280 | * ComicBook/ShangChi uses a Kamehameha Hadouken in VideoGame/MarvelContestOfChampions. |
| 281 | [[/folder]] |
| 282 | |
| 283 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 284 | * In ''VisualNovel/MajikoiLoveMeSeriously'' Momoyo uses the attack "Kawakamiha". It's not the only instance, but probably the most similar to the TropeCodifier. |
| 285 | [[/folder]] |
| 286 | |
| 287 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 288 | * In ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'', the Hadoken is the signature attack of Black Mage, and unleashes power equivalent to a small nuke. He also once used it for a RecoilBoost, calling it "Boatdoken". The Red Mage used a similar attack once ("Hadoyastopthis!?"). Fighterdoken and Medoken are not actually Kamehame Hadoken attacks but {{Fastball Special}}s. Black Mage's Hadoken is powered by ThePowerOfLove [[spoiler:- literally. It ''consumes love from the universe'' to power itself. The divorce rate rises every time he fires it off.]] |
| 289 | ** The ''Webcomic/CaptainSNES'' parody actually uses the name "Kamehamehadoken." |
| 290 | * {{Lampshaded}} in ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'': After Richard gets trapped in a bleach-white purgatory, he is seen attempting to use the Hadoken; the only effect seems to be that he forms a blue glowing ball in his hands, to which he says "that didn't work as well as I'd liked." He does, however, follow up with a successful Shoryuken to Hctib. |
| 291 | * Energy attacks are pretty common for anyone skilled in shinsu control in ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod''. But Yuri Jahad makes the most obvious connection with her "''Ha Family Shinsu Hadōken: Ha Yuri's Special Skill, Red Velvet Sword''" technique. Extra points for the long name. |
| 292 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'', there's the Hoboken spell, a simple blast of concussive Shockmancy that nearly all casters can use. It's not particularly powerful, but it's also simple to use and only costs a small amount of [[{{Mana}} juice]]. |
| 293 | * In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1563 Ellen's "amped up" Transformation Beam]] is a fairly obvious ShoutOut to the original Kamehameha (WordOfGod confirms). |
| 294 | ** There's also Elliot's "[[http://egscomics.com/comic/2002-04-18 Tamashi Gekido]]" technique (which Ellen presumably inherited). |
| 295 | * The lead character in ''Webcomic/TheCartoonChroniclesOfConroyCat'' unleashes one with an [[http://dtoons.com/conroy/2010/10/had-ow-ken/ unpleasant side effects.]] |
| 296 | * Magical version from ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}''. Take an ordinary ProjectileSpell, add 1000 years of (mana/aura)growth and experience - [[http://www.drowtales.com/longestwait.php?order=date&id=24 destruction ensues]]. Unfortunately, her targets dodged. |
| 297 | * [[spoiler:Becquerel]] uses it in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', to destroy [[spoiler:the meteor heading for Jade's house]]. |
| 298 | * Chloe in ''Webcomic/EerieCuties'', when she accidentally got a [[AmplifierArtifact power boost]] and [[PowerHigh lost control]], [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/Learn%20Shakespeare torched]] [[CreepyDoll Blair]] for interrupting her lunch. |
| 299 | * When FightingGame fan Sydney in ''Webcomic/UnintentionallyPretentious'' takes a Qigong class, she's disappointed to learn that by focusing her Qi, she can't actually [[http://www.unintentionallypretentious.com/index.asp?c=65 "dookin"]] anything. |
| 300 | * ''Webcomic/{{Sidekicks}}'': Every supublic is capable of firing powerful Beam Bursters from either their hands, eyes or mouth. The BigBad was even able to fire a full-body Beam Burster that destroyed an entire island. |
| 301 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' that's how Satan and [[HotAsHell Devil Girls]] "Bomf!" (which bedevils living things or simple objects and [[ExplosiveInstrumentation explodes]] more advanced hardware), Jesus does "[[CallingYourAttacks Salvation!]]" and Buddha calms down people -- this one is temporary. |
| 302 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'', the AuthorAvatar fires an attack called the "Curse-ya-ha-me-ha", which is said to inflict great misfortune on its target. |
| 303 | * ''Webcomic/MoonCrest24'': Volleyball style! |
| 304 | * Shota's signature move, simply called the Fireball (though it is explicitly stated to be a ki attack) in ''Webcomic/EveryButtonHurtsTheOtherGuy'' is one of these. |
| 305 | * In ''Webcomic/ErrantStory'', WarriorMonk trainee Chris [[http://www.errantstory.com/2010-02-26/4664 attempts one of these]] against [[PhysicalGod Ian]]. It [[ShootingSuperman works about as well as you'd expect]]. |
| 306 | [[/folder]] |
| 307 | |
| 308 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 309 | * ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'': |
| 310 | ** This trope automatically applies with the appearance of [[Franchise/DragonBall Vegeta, Goku, Master Roshi]], [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu, Ken, Dan Hibiki, and Akuma]]. Vegeta uses the Final Flash in both of his battles. [[spoiler:It works with Shadow after his super mode wears out but when he tries it on Thor after infusing it with the power of [[DeaderThanDead hakai]], it doesn't and Thor crushes his head in with Mjolnir in return.]] Both Goku and Master Roshi use the original Kamekameha beam on Superman and Jiraiya respectively [[spoiler:but for both of Goku's battle with Superman, it fails and in the second battle, he dies shortly after firing it at the Man of Steel whereas although Roshi doesn't kill Jiraiya with it, the hosts do note that Roshi could easily win with it since Jiraiya would have no way to dodge the beam forever.]] |
| 311 | ** Thor can also perform this trope using the godblast, which works by gathering all his godly energy into Mjolnir and firing it at his target. [[spoiler:Both Wiz and Boomstick note that since this godblast was strong enough to kill Galactus in one hit and Galactus' battle was threatening the entire Marvel multiverse as a side effect, it was deemed more than enough to kill Vegeta and since Thor is way faster than Vegeta, he could easily fire it at him no problem.]] |
| 312 | ** Boomstick is actually a fan of both versions of this trope, using a beer can to replicate the Kamekameha beam and copying Ryu when he fires off his Hadoken. |
| 313 | * Virtually perfected by the always trope conscious Chris O'Neill in the phenomenally awesome-packed ''Website/{{Newgrounds}}'' video [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/468840 Chris & Harry]]. |
| 314 | * In Episode 13 of WebAnimation/{{Eskimo Bob}}, except his energy blasts take the form of fish, while stronger and larger ones look like narwhals. [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext And they can be eaten too.]] |
| 315 | --> '''Bob:''' ''Sa-ka-na-ka-Naaaaa!!'' |
| 316 | * The DBZ-inspired ''WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ'' has characters busting out the Kamehame Hadoken on several occasions. It's rather a specialty of Fire Mario and Bowser, for example, and Mecha Sonic uses one in episode 6 to finish off Axem Red. |
| 317 | * In the Literature/WhateleyUniverse, Chaka has learned a secret Ki attack like this from a superpowered ninja opponent. She fires it from a finger and calls it her [[Film/ChittyChittyBangBang 'Chaka Chaka Bang Bang']]. |
| 318 | ** The Kamehahameha Wave was also [[ShoutOut referenced]] by Tennyo during Team Kimba's NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of the Grunts in their simulator GrudgeMatch; she knocked out [[ColdSniper Deadeye]] with it, by flying into the building he was sniping from, ostentatiously gathering up a massive plasma ball, and using it to core out the entire skyscraper. |
| 319 | * ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': By creating two vertical hoops on his arms, [[KiManipulation Kai]] can fire a massive beam of natural energy. He can fire a smaller one without charging up too. |
| 320 | [[/folder]] |
| 321 | |
| 322 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 323 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfPussInBoots'', black cats have an inherent ability to focus their bad luck into energy blasts fired in this fashion. |
| 324 | * In an American use of this, by the 3rd season of ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'', Danny, when needing a more powerful hit to stop an enemy, performs a very quick Kamehame-Hadoken-like Ectoblast. He and his OppositeSexClone Dani perform a dual-blast in this manner, one which seems only slightly less powerful than his Ghostly Wail (and a lot less draining) |
| 325 | * Though the attack wasn't done at all, the attack name was mentioned in ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes''. When Jimmy assumed the role of "Power Squid" and fought his first battle against a horde of clowns, as he/the squid on his head fought them, his fourth battle cry was "Hadoken!" before ending it with a spin kick. |
| 326 | * Control Freak, in one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', when he had acquired the skills of a "12'th level space samurai" and a bunch of other stuff after porting himself into the [[ShowWithinAShow land of television]]. |
| 327 | * Happens frequently in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirBender'', done as a ShoutOut to Dragon Ball and other anime. |
| 328 | ** Aang does it with his [[BlowYouAway airbending]], even doing [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/avatar/images/c/c6/Aang_testing_his_airbending_on_the_lion_turtle.png/revision/latest?cb=20121111094330 the motion]] as well. |
| 329 | ** Zuko [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/0e802bcbc68fc19871fb51c515893d14/1ca0fb0e270520d4-06/s500x750/cae037e41e2d8d5a7377454606905bacdb22a142.gif does it]] with his firebending during the FinalBattle of Book 2. |
| 330 | ** In ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' Korra makes this pose while attempting to airbend a newspaper, while shouting "Airbend!" |
| 331 | * From ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'': |
| 332 | ** When Jackie is empowered by an ancient symbol from a magic scroll in the Lotus Temple, he gains the ability to use various KiManipulation attacks. Playing with this trope, he does the standard Kamehame Hadoken pose, but instead launches a ''[[BlowYouAway tornado]]''. |
| 333 | ** In a later episode, Jackie and Jade unwittingly uncover a secret order of Druid-like sorcerers called the Magisters. They are capable of firing off [[ShockAndAwe bolts of lightning]] when they say [[CallingYourAttacks "Ex Metu Vires!"]] (Latin for "power from fear"). |
| 334 | * In ''WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}}'': |
| 335 | ** Sypha at one point makes [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/627a32f45a2f77ac4db948fc0accaeb0/tumblr_pcrd5a0GMs1wbfb8vo2_r2_500.gif hand motions]] eerily similar to the Kamehameha to finish off a monster. |
| 336 | ** Dracula during the Season 2 finale [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi4xPMKByJQ&t=56s uses the aforementioned Dark Inferno]], which works in the exact same way a [[KiManipulation Ki attack]] does in Dragon Ball, right down to being [[CatchAndReturn physically pushed back at him]] by Alucard and Sypha. |
| 337 | ** In Season 4, during the FinalBattle Sypha shoots a [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8s6pu6QvkxY&t=145s fire beam similar to the Kamehameha]] against Dragan, [[TheWorfBarrage he powers through it]]. |
| 338 | * While Mr. Freeze more traditionally uses a [[FreezeRay single-handed Freeze Gun]], in the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' episode "Meltdown", he premieres an improved containment suit that fires freezing beams from both gauntlets. |
| 339 | * In the second part of the season 4 finale of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', both the villain [[spoiler: Tirek]] and, even more surprising, [[spoiler: Twilight Sparkle]], have this during their fight. |
| 340 | ** In ''WesternAnimation/EquestriaGirls'', [[OneWingedAngel Devil]] Sunset Shimmer fires one of these at the Humane Six, but they deflect it with ThePowerOfFriendship. |
| 341 | * ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo!'': Chiro's "Monkey Fu" attack is a wide beam of green energy shot from the hands. |
| 342 | * ''[[https://youtu.be/k9oMWJAPnOM The Spirit Of Christmas]]'' pilot short to ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' had Jesus and Santa Claus flinging these at each other. |
| 343 | * ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'': One episode has Cyclops taking off his visor and giving the Juggernaut a full-powered blast of his EyeBeams which temporarily knocks him over and destroys everything else it hits. |
| 344 | [[/folder]] |
| 345 | |
| 346 | [[folder:Real Life]] |
| 347 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_ZtaRUVkwA WANT!]] |
| 348 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC6I8iPiHT8 Pistol Shrimp's]] claw evolved to snap shut so quickly that it produces a flash of light and blast of sound reaching 218 decibels, louder than a gunshot. It does this by the claw's snapping creating a low pressure bubble, which then collapses, with the sound created by its collapse. The light? That would be the heat created by its collapse. This enables the shrimp to both stun and [[InstantRoast roast]] its prey in one shot. [[note]] The roasting part is hyperbole. While the temperature at that one, tiny point is indeed comparable to the surface of the sun, the overall amount of thermal energy is actually pretty negligible.[[/note]] |
