The only one I know is in Battle of Gods:

While not the case any more, I enjoyed that Kaio-Ken was at least for a short time, a nod to the Char Azneble x3 faster joke. It really fits all the requirements, the aura is a pinkish red hue similar to the paint job on Char's old custom Zaku, Kaio says Goku's limit at the start is is x3. It was a cute reference to another show I love just as much as dragon ball.
Going on hiatus. Too much stuff in RL to deal with for me to keep up with posts here for now. Was fun, hope you all have a nice day and future! Volt signing off.
