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.
