The Kamehameha is the signature energy attack of Goku in Dragon Ball, where the user gathers energy between cupped hands before releasing it as a concentrated beam. The technique became one of the most recognisable moves in anime, spreading through dubbed broadcasts, games and online edits long after its first appearances. Its sound is now shorthand for charging power, which is why creators reach for it alongside similar projectile attacks such as Hadouken when they want an instant, recognisable anime reference.
About this sound
The Kamehameha energy blast sound from Dragon Ball, with a rising charge and a powerful release, used for anime edits, memes and dramatic power-up moments.
This short clip captures the unmistakable build and release of a Kamehameha blast, starting with a low, crackling charge that rises in pitch and intensity before snapping into a fast, rushing wave of energy. It sounds bright, forceful and slightly chaotic, like power gathering and then breaking free in a single burst. Played over a clip, it instantly signals that something huge is about to happen, turning an ordinary gesture, jump or reveal into a dramatic anime-style attack and giving the viewer a satisfying payoff as the sound peaks and cuts off.
