The Kikoho, known in English as the Tri-Beam, is Tenshinhan's signature energy technique in Dragon Ball, created by Akira Toriyama. Tenshinhan pushes his body to its limit to fire a powerful square shaped blast, often shouting through the strain of charging it. This clip comes from the French dub of Dragon Ball Z, where the repeated ayayaya delivery became memorable among French fans. Clipped on its own, it spread on soundboards and in edits as a shorthand for extreme effort and anime overacting.
About this sound
Tenshinhan shouting Ayayayaya while charging his Kikoho attack in the French dub of Dragon Ball Z, used for intense anime power up and meme edits.
This is a short burst of Tenshinhan rapidly shouting ayayayayaya as he charges his Kikoho energy attack in Dragon Ball Z. The French dub take is fast, strained and increasingly frantic, building tension in just over two seconds before the blast would land. It sounds less like a normal battle cry and more like pure desperate effort, which makes the clip feel both dramatic and unintentionally funny out of context. Viewers instantly recognise the rising panic in the voice, making it perfect for exaggerating effort, overload or a last ditch attack.
