Kamehame Hadoken: Difference between revisions

** [[Affectionate Parody|Parodied]] in an omake of ''[[Wedding Peach]]'', with Kame Hame Kame.

** Parodied again in ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]'', with [[Nabeshin]]'s Nabehameha.

** Parodied in lots and lots of shows, though the Kamehameha is not the ultimate ki attack in the Dragon Ball, just the most used and recognizable.

** Parodied ''within the series'' with Goten's "Kame''k''ameha" - basically the same attack, except [[Hilarity Ensues|Goten has no control over where it goes.]]

* Let's not forget [[The Sorcerers Apprentice]].

 

* This was the designated [[Finishing Move]] of Ninjor, who appeared in the third season of ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]''.

** Ditto his [[Super Sentai]] counterpart, [[Ninja Sentai Kakuranger|Ninjaman/Samuraiman]].

* Ando from ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' can occasionally do this. It's not quite as epic as most Kamehame Hadoken attacks, but it looks very much the same.

* These tend to be the [[Finishing Move]]s of just about all the [[Ultra Series|Ultramen]].

 

== Professional Wrestling ==

* Both Kenny Omega and Player Uno have been known to use the Hadoken - Omega's requires a few moments of concentration but is most always successful, and Uno's is rather instant but is regularly blocked by his opponent raising their forearms. Used once against his own partner Player Dos (then known as Stupified) to which Stup. complained against his use of superpowers.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s8jO3HCdPI&feature=related This clip] features Japanese wrestler Men's Teioh channeling Ryu in a battle with Abdullah Kobayashi.

 

== Tabletop Games ==

** A supplemental book also introduced "Ki Blast," a moderately damaging blast of energy that ate up a Monk's use of Ki. As soon as [[Pathfinder]]'s Beta came out and revealed that Monks would now use Ki Pools and have Ki Points, many a DM jumped on this with succeeding feats which upped the damage of the Ki Blast, until they hit Kamehame Hadoken levels of damage - some to the point that a gimped-out Monk built only for blasting their Chi could, while probably not able to outright kill, at least cut a Great Wyrm Red Dragon's HP in half by going from full Ki to zilch in one turn to power a mega blast.

* ''[[Exalted]]'' ''of course'' features these in abundance. They range from shooting [[Good Hurts Evil|Holy]] beams of light off of the edge of your sword (for Solars) to unleashing bolts of pure elemental energy (for the Dragon-Blooded).

 

== Video Games ==

* In ''[[Book of Mages the Dark Times]]'', mages have access to the Combined Bolt attack, which works by gathering all of the mage's [[Beam Spam|attacking and defending bolts]] into a single crescent-shaped blast that tears through most enemies' defenses. In particular, the mages of the Burning Hill and Great Sea clans rely on this ability to overwhelm their enemies' defenses.

 

 

* In ''[[8-Bit Theater]]'', the Hadoken is the signature attack of Black Mage, and unleashes power equivalent to a small nuke. He also once used it for a [[Recoil Boost]], calling it "Boatdoken". The Red Mage used a similar attack once ("Hadoyastopthis!?"). Fighterdoken and Medoken are not actually Kamehame Hadoken attacks but [[Fastball Special]]s. Black Mage's Hadoken is powered by [[The Power of Love]] {{spoiler|- literally. It ''consumes love from the universe'' to power itself. The divorce rate rises every time he fires it off.}}

** The ''[[Captain SNES]]'' parody actually uses the name "Kamehamehadoken."

* In ''[[Sinfest]]'' that's how Satan and [[Horny Devils|Devil Girls]] "Bomf!" (which bedevils living things or simple objects and [[Explosive Instrumentation|explodes]] more advanced hardware), Jesus does "[[Calling Your Attacks|Salvation!]]" and Buddha calms down people—this one is temporary.

* In ''[[Sonichu]]'', the [[Author Avatar]] fires an attack called the "Curse-ya-ha-me-ha", which is said to inflict great misfortune on its target.

 

== Web Original ==

* The DBZ-inspired ''[[Super Mario Bros Z]]'' has characters busting out the Kamehame Hadoken on several occasions. It's rather a specialty of Fire Mario and Bowser, for example, and Mecha Sonic uses one in episode 6 to finish off Axem Red.

* In the [[Whateley Universe]], Chaka has learned a secret Ki attack like this from a superpowered ninja opponent. She fires it from a finger and calls it her [[Chitty Chitty Bang Bang|'Chaka Chaka Bang Bang']].

 

== Western Animation ==

* Control Freak, in one episode of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'', when he had acquired the skills of a "12'th level space samurai" and a bunch of other stuff after porting himself into the [[Show Within a Show|land of television]].

* [[The Legend of Korra|Korra]] makes this pose while attempting to airbend a newspaper, while shouting "Airbend!"
