We also saw him use the Masenko before he went back in time to escape Black the first time, and the Final Flash back when he first fought Zamasu.

I am le dumb and forgot.

Still, is there anyone who doesn't and shouldn't know the Kamehameha at this point?

I have a theory that all Ki attacks are functionally identical, outside of size, shape, density, and color.

Trunks trained with Vegeta in the tiger tonic lime chamber. They likely learned each other's moves.

[up][up][up]Your theory is very and blatantly wrong.

Kienzan cuts, most don't.

Makankosappo pierces, most don't.

Kamehameha pushes (and can even be used to propel yourself), most don't.

Well Kid Trunks used Kamehameha in Bio-Broly if anyone wants to count that and Vegeta used it in Shin Budokai.

Yeah they're non-canon, but it has happened.

That's why I specified density and shape. The Kienzan is clearly just a generic Ki blast, except flatter and edgier, and the Makankosappo is pointy at the end, with two smaller and also pointy beams spiralling around it.

I mean like it's all the same type of energy material. The Kamehameha and Galick Gun are probably exactly the same, except one's blue and the other's purple, and they are both probably the same as the Final Flash, except the Final Flash is bigger, uses more energy, and is yellow. The only Ki attacks that deviate from this are Roshi's lightning move, which is why it's my favorite attack in the franchise, and Gotenks' Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack, which operates on toon physics.

So what you're saying is that they're functionally the same, just that the deviations come from how the user manipulates the ki to their liking. So size, density, sharpness, etc.

Exactly. Which is actually something I love about Dragon Ball: everyone has one power, one source of energy, and it's how creative and practiced they are with that power that makes the difference, like with actual martial arts.

I don't know what all this super talk is but Trunks does have his own move. The Finish Buster that killed Cell.

So they're different in composition, function, mechanics, looks and usage, and yet you say they're they same.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

You're trying to say that an iron sword has nothing in common with an iron mace or an iron staff.

It just strikes me as odd whenever people talk about characters not knowing the Kamehameha, when all they'd have to do is the hand gestures and fire the same big charged beam that everyone can do, except blue.

That's like saying I can perform a perfect Karate chop if I just use the same gesture.
