Kamehameha

Biodata

Technique

• The user cups their hands, gathers energy in their palms, then thrusts their hands forward to release a powerful energy wave 1 63.
• Gathering too little energy reduces its power. Master Roshi warns Sun Wukong that rushing the technique can also disperse its energy and leave him vulnerable 12.
• Its force depends on the power put into it: Wukong's Super Saiyan 1 Kamehameha destroys a magic puppet that had taken little damage from his earlier attempt 16.
• Wukong later creates Magic Ki Wave by infusing the Kamehameha with elemental magic, increasing the wave's might 249.

Users and Training

• Sun Wukong — uses the Kamehameha as a signature attack, both alone and alongside his allies 1 58 63.
• Master Roshi — demonstrates the technique while correcting Wukong's energy-gathering and uses it in a spar against him 12 116.
• Sun Gohan — learns its essentials under Wukong's guidance after initially producing an unstable wave 24.

• Against Moro, Wukong's wave joins Vegeta's attack and Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon to break through Moro's defenses 58.
• Master Roshi's Kamehameha collides with Wukong's Spirit Bomb during their spar, and the attacks cancel each other out 116.
