Thunder Bagua originates in One Piece as a devastating kanabo technique associated with Kaido and later used by his child Yamato, who wields the same spiked club in battle. The move became closely linked to Yamato's introduction and her major fights in the Wano arc, where fans recognised its distinctive thunderous impact. Clips of the attack spread through anime edits, AMVs and short-form videos, where the sound alone signals overwhelming strength. It remains popular because it instantly evokes a high-stakes One Piece battle without needing dialogue or context.
