The Kamehameha is the signature energy attack of Goku in Dragon Ball, the long-running manga and anime series created by Akira Toriyama. The move is performed by cupping the hands together, gathering energy, and releasing it as a concentrated beam, and its charging sound has become instantly recognisable to anime fans. As Dragon Ball clips spread through gaming videos, edits and meme culture, the hold version became a useful shorthand for building power. It remains popular because it signals an imminent, over-the-top attack without needing any dialogue.
About this sound
The sustained Kamehameha charging sound from Dragon Ball, a rising energy blast effect used for anime edits, power-up scenes and dramatic meme moments.
This clip captures the held, charging phase of a Kamehameha, the signature energy attack from Dragon Ball. It opens with a low, crackling hum that builds in pitch and pressure, like raw power gathering in the hands before release, rather than the final explosive blast itself. The tension is the point: the longer it holds, the more the audience expects something huge to follow. That makes it perfect for slow-motion build-ups, transformation sequences and moments where a character is about to unleash an attack, because the sound alone tells viewers the stakes are rising.
