I like when the beams come out of people's mouths. There's just something really funny about that.
I think it would be odd but cool to see Goku, Vegeta, Gohan or one of the humans use it. We've mostly only seen it from characters that are obviously alien or huge characters.

Yes...yes you are :)

@Saiga, Gotenks uses it if that counts for anything :wink:

I would say the Kikoho but it looks like that has been said already.

Future Trunks' Burning Attack is sick, what with all the nonsensical rapid arm movements. It's so flashy! I'm also gonna go ahead and Nth Vegeta's Final Flash. And Gallick Gun because it's purple.

My favorite of all time is probably the big bang kamehameha. I do not know why I just always thought it was badass especially in the Budokai Tenkaichi 3 :)

Galick Gun has to be my favourite.

Big Bang Attack looks cool only in video games. Too bad we never see a good one in the show.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Vegeta's one-handed beam that he used to kill Dodoria.

I too will also have to say the Makankosappo, or as I like to call it the Special Beam Cannon. Not really sure why, I guess its because it looks cool!

Probably Gekiretsu Kodan. But let's be honest... who doesn't have special place in their heart for Kame Hame-Ha?

I absolutely adore that commercial.
