Final Kamehameha

Post by Majin Buu » Thu Sep 21, 2006 1:15 pm

I asked this in the podcast thread but no one answered it there.

The wikipedia article on Veggeto shows a picture of what looks like a generic attack that is supposedly the attack the Final Kamehameha from the games is based on. I'd like some clarification on that since I'm currently in a debate with someone on that article trying to get them to show some proof that the attack in question is what the Final Kamehameha is based on.

So I'd just like to know who's right and who's wrong here.

As far as I know, Vegetto never used anything like the 'final kamehameha' in either the manga or anime (he did use a beam variation of the Big Bang Attack, though.). I'm pretty sure the attack was just made for the games (I asked the same kind of thing about Trunks' 'Finish Buster/Buster Cannon' attack some time ago). Somebody else with a more extensive footage collection may be able to help with anything from the anime that is considered the basis for the attack.

I've always deemed it as a combination of the Kamehameha and the Final Flash, since I first saw it in Final Bout and he stretches out his arms like how Vegeta does with the Final Flash.

I don't believe the theory that it just has the word "Final" put on it to express it's power, like how so many other anime techniques have "Final" in them to demonstrate how destructive they are.

He does a generic Ki blast in which his hand position resembles that of the Final Flash...but, it takes no traits from the Kamehameha and the blast itself bears to resemblence to the Final Flash. And he doesn't yell anything either...and it's in his base form...and is filler...

Well, that solves that, I guess.

It's a very cool move in Final Bout, regardless. Then again, anything about that game that wasn't another version of Goku was welcome.

I remember at the very end of the battle, Vegetto does use a Kamehame-Ha attack, not sure if he actually calls it Final Kamehame-Ha. Needless to say, the blast damages Buu enough that he has a very hard time regenerating the hole it makes in his stomach. This attack happens right before Buu deep-throats a second Spirit Sword, and this of course leads right up to when the merged Saiyan decides to count to 10 till obliterating him. Not sure if this Kamehame-Ha was anime-only or not, but he does use it in the anime.

So then it's safe to say that it's not based on that move?
