The Kamehame Hadoken is the ultimate Ki Attack of any given martial-arts-based anime or video game, and almost always takes the form of a huge and/or continuous solid beam of weaponised ki, shot from the cupped hands of the main character after bringing his/her hands forward from behind their back, or from aside their hip. The attack is always derived from the latent power of the user, and the blast is incredibly destructive, ranging from causing large personal property damage, to the destruction of large satellites, to possibly destroying the planet on which the character stands. It is frequently, though not always, a Finishing Move.

  • The Kamehame Hadoken is the ultimate Ki Attack of any given martial-arts-based anime or video game, and almost always takes the form of a huge and/or continuous solid beam of weaponised ki, shot from the cupped hands of the main character after bringing his/her hands forward from behind their back, or from aside their hip.

It is frequently, though not always, a Finishing Move. Can be a form of Limit Break. A staple for Shotoclones, along with the Shoryuken and Hurricane Kick. Compare with BFG, which is often the technological version, and Wave Motion Gun, for the Humongous Mecha or spaceship-scale version of that. Also Wave Motion Sword, the sword version. Contrast Beam Spam. Compare also Blasting Time, where the character "throws" the energy attack. In the introduction to the manga Dragonball, creator Akira Toriyama said that he named Goku's energy attack after Kamehameha I (King of Hawaii) after visiting Hawaii on vacation and seeing a statue of the king. Contrast with Hand Blast, where the attack is not tied to the attacker's Ki or Mana. Depending on perception, both could be delivered by Power Palms. Examples of Kamehame Hadoken include:
