Goku's signature attack, the Kamehameha, is one of the most recognizable and well-loved moves in the Dragon Ball franchise. But Goku isn't its only user, and a simple blast isn't its only form. Actually, it's an incredibly versatile move that shows up again and again throughout the Dragon Ball world.
What are some of the best Kamehamehas in Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Super, and all the rest? One of the most noteworthy ones is the Father-Son Kamehameha, in which Gohan channels his father's energy to help him defeat Perfect Cell. There's also the original Kamehameha, which is the version Master Roshi took 50 years to perfect. Then there's the Final Kamehameha, a combination of Vegeta's Final Flash and Goku's most famous move.
This is Gohan's ultimate attack while in his Super Saiyan 2 form. When he fires up the Kamehameha, he's able to summon his father's spirit, which not only bolsters his courage but also dramatically increases his strength. He uses this against Cell in one of the series' most epic moments.
While up against the fused Saiyan Kefla, Goku used her Gigantic Burst attack like railroad tracks for his Kamehameha energy ball. Once he slid towards her, he launched the ball at her with such intense force that it knocked her right out of the arena.
While fighting against Perfect Cell, Goku charged a Kamehameha that was so powerful it could wreck a planet. Cell didn't think Goku would actually let something like that loose, but he tricked Cell by using Instant Transmission to appear right next to Cell and plow the thing straight into his torso.
When Goku and Vegeta square off towards the beginning of DBZ, Vegetaunleashesa Galick Gun attack that he claims will destroy the planet. Goku counteracts it with a Kamehameha that he hopes will help him protect the Earth.
