About DBS fights

I never understood why in DBS when Gohan and Goku fights, they have to say tatatatat or atatatatat, they never used to make that sound in the original Dragon Ball Japanese dub or DBZ Japanese dub.

They wanted to evoke the Kenshiro vibes

I haven't watched Kenshiro so I don't know what that means.

Kenshiro is the protagonist of "Fist of the North Star", and he is pretty well known for yelling ATATATATATATA every time he hurls a bunch of punches at his opponents (as well as the "omae was mou shindeiru" meme).

It's in the LatAm dub since DBZ, if I remember correctly. Maybe they took some inspiration from the dub the way the live screenings of 130 and 131 inspired some of the Broly soundtrack?
