The Genki Dama, known in English as the Spirit Bomb, is one of Goku's signature techniques in Dragon Ball, taught to him by King Kai. Instead of using his own power alone, Goku raises his hands and borrows energy from living beings around him, forming a huge sphere of light for a decisive attack. The technique became a defining image of the series through its anime battles, and clips of its charge have since circulated in fan edits, gaming videos and reaction memes. It endures because the rising charge is instantly readable as a hero preparing something unstoppable.
