Dragon Ball Z, the anime follow-up to Dragon Ball that aired in Japan from 1989, made power-up sequences a defining part of its visual language, with crackling auras signalling a fighter reaching a new level, including Super Saiyan forms. Clips of those moments were shared widely on soundboards and video platforms, where editors lifted the energy bursts for their own transformations, battles and parodies. The sound endures because it is instantly recognisable even without dialogue, carrying the tension and spectacle of the original series into short-form edits.
