The Kamehameha comes from Dragon Ball, where it is Goku's signature energy attack and one of the most recognisable techniques in anime. First shown as a concentrated beam fired from cupped hands, it became a shorthand for overwhelming power as the series grew into a global phenomenon through its anime, films and video games. Fans recreated the pose and sound in cosplay, parodies and online edits, keeping it instantly recognisable decades later for anyone who grew up watching the show.
