** In ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}'', the lightning blast Diana does to finish off Ares is ''[[https://youtu.be/UyoFo5OagU4?t=8 very reminiscent]]'' to the Kamehameha, as WebVideo/CinemaSins [[https://youtu.be/ve3oQBjcAGI?t=907 noted]].

*** There’s also Tifa’s “[[https://m.imgur.com/60emgqC Chi Trap]]” which operates similar to Chun-Li’s Kikosho being a SphereOfDestruction, but also allows Tifa to trap and combo her opponents.

* In ''Film/{{Morbius}}'' 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.

* ''VideoGame/DodgeballAcademia'': Otto is capable of doing this for his Balltimate move, he never really got it at first, but he gets it sooner than you’d think.

* ComicBook/ShangChi usesa Kamehameha Hadouken in VideoGame/MarvelContestOfChampions.

* In ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'', Lina Inverse's Dragon Slave spell starts as a Kamehame Hadoken, and ends in a SphereOfDestruction.

* ''LightNovel/KyouranKazokuNikki'' has SantaClaus use this attack against [[CatGirl Kyouka]] during their duel. Yes, Santa Claus.
-->'''Santa Claus''': "MERRY... CHRISTMAS!!" *BOOM*

* ''LightNovel/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime''

* In ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}'', the lightning blast Diana does to finish off Ares is ''[[https://youtu.be/UyoFo5OagU4?t=8 very reminiscent]]'' to the Kamehameha, as WebVideo/CinemaSins [[https://youtu.be/ve3oQBjcAGI?t=907 noted]].
* 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.

* 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.

** 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. Nnoitora [[https://i.gifer.com/L2.gif likes to stick his tongue out and fire it from the tip]], for example.
** [[TookALevelInBadass Ramped up]] by Grimmjow Jeagerjacques during his final confrontation with Ichigo, unleashing a variation of the attack that only Espada-level Arrancar can use: the Gran Rey Cero.
** Ulquiorra's Cero Oscuras is stated to be the most powerful variant known to the Espada, [[spoiler:but is completely outclassed by Hollow Ichigo's standard Cero, which is able to effortlessly overhelm it.]]
** Ramped up even more with [[spoiler: 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.]]

** Don't forget 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".

* Let's not forget ''Film/TheSorcerersApprentice'' especially during the finale, complete with BeamSpam.
* Even as far as back in 1992, the 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. ]]

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' has its own variation, with the tailed beasts being able to form "dense chakra" blasts [[BreathWeapon from their mouths]], destroying a large hill and most of the ground surrounding it in a half-mile diameter. And it only gets ''more'' dramatic from there.

** Red beam of death called Cero is the standard weapon of [[TheHeartless Hollows]] at Menos level Hollows and higher. Menos use it as a BreathWeapon of sort, although they charge it in front of their unmoving mask's teeth. Higher tier Hollows start customizing it in color and Arrancar can unleash these attacks from just about any body part of choice. Nnoitora [[https://i.gifer.com/L2.gif likes to stick his tongue out and fire it from the tip]] for example.
** [[TookALevelInBadass Ramped up]] by Grimmjow Jeagerjacques during his final confrontation with Ichigo, unleashing a variation of the attack that only Espada-level Arrancar can use: the Gran Rey Cero. And then taken even further with Ulquiorra's Cero Oscura [[spoiler: (and probably further still with Ichigo's standard Cero which is, according to Ulquiorra, even more powerful.)]]

* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' that's how Satan and [[HornyDevils 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.

* '''WebAnimation/DeathBattle''':

*** 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]].

* 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.

** In Season 4, during the FinalBattle Sypha shoots a [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8s6pu6QvkxY&t=145s fire beam similar to Kamehameha]] against Dragan, [[TheWorfBarrage he powers through it]].

** 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).

* In ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'' when Child Emperor is inside his HumongousMecha fighting Phoenix Man he performs ''Millennium Emperor Nova''...

* One of the few western examples ''ComicBook/IronFist'' [[https://i.imgur.com/ItiAfBu.jpg can]] [[https://i.imgur.com/cl8M8Vh.jpg do]] [[https://comicvine1.cbsistatic.com/uploads/original/12/125404/3585809-9737972596-17977.jpg this]] thanks to his KiManipulation.

* 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://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hokuto/images/a/a8/Kenshiro%27s_Tensho_Honretsu.gif/revision/latest/top-crop/width/450/height/450?cb=20190911053612 demonstrated]] against [[spoiler:Souther]].

** Ramped up even more with [[spoiler: Starrk]], who has mastered the technique. He [[spoiler: doesn't even need a pose to fire his off.]] His Resurrección logically takes it UpToEleven [[spoiler: as now he's carrying two guns and fittingly providing the page quote for BeamSpam.]]

* In ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', Yusuke Urameshi's attack, the [[IncrediblyLamePun 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.

* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' has the Geno Beam.
** Jinx has Bombs Away, which is also the most powerful physical attack in the game.
* As opposed to the honorable trope namers, ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes''' resident cheating bastard, Destroyman, uses the sphere-type [[CallingYourAttacks Destroy Cannon]]. The Destroy Buster (beam-type), [[IncrediblyLamePun on the other hand]], comes from somewhere else.
