The '''Final Kamehameha''' is an attack in the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise that combines the [[Final Flash]] from [[Vegeta]] and the [[Kamehameha]] from [[Son Goku]] into a new, unique attack. It is typically used by [[Gogeta]] and (more notably) [[Vegetto]], but Goku and Vegeta have used it as a combination attack while not fused.<ref name="super98">{{Cite episode|Series=Super|Eps=98|}}</ref><ref name="toei">{{Cite web|URL=http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/tv/dragon_s/chara/chapter4/no09.html|Website=Toei Animation|Title="Universe 9"|AccessDate=20 October 2017}}<br>{{Cite web|URL=https://redd.it/77mqzm|Website=Reddit|Title="Tournament of Power: Toei Website Profiles"|Date=20 October 2017}}</ref>
The '''''Final Kamehameha''''' is an attack in the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise that combines the [[Final Flash]] from [[Vegeta]] and the [[Kamehameha]] from [[Son Goku]] into a new, unique attack.
 
While the attack typically used by [[Vegetto]] (though it debuted with [[Gogeta]]) as a single entity, these are cases across media of separate characters using it as a combination-type attack.

With the attack being a staple of Vegetto's technique arsenal in the corresponding ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes'' card-based arcade game series, Vegetto uses the Final Kamehameha against [[Cumber]] in the [[Super Dragon Ball Heroes Episode 3|third episode]] of [[Super Dragon Ball Heroes (anime)|the ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes'' promotional anime]], and later against [[Demigra]] in [[Super Dragon Ball Heroes Episode 49|episode 49]].

As part of an expanded move set within the "Meteor Mission" card [[MM4-049]] for [[Future Trunks]] in the ''[[Super Dragon Ball Heroes]]'' arcade game, when used as an attacker from round two onward, Trunks fights alongside the future version of [[Son Gohan]] to deal massive damage with a combination attack that is unnamed on the card, but is spoken aloud separately by the characters as "Final Flash" and "Kamehameha" which then merges together into the blue-surrounded-by-yellow-sparks as seen with the Goku and Vegeta combination version.<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYX36RHNJFE|Website=YouTube|Title="SUPER DRAGON BALL HEROESTrunks e Gohan del Futuro insieme per una Final Kamehameha #dragonball"|Date=28 April 2024|AccessDate=29 March 2026}}</ref>

As an actual named attack, the Final Kamehameha debuts in 1995's ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22]]'' on the Sony PlayStation as an attack for [[Gogeta]]; here it is rendered a strong, but small, projectile attack. Gogeta speaks the name "Final Kamehameha" aloud while performing this attack.<ref>{{Cite videogame|Game=c19}}</ref> This attack is retained for that year's ''[[Dragon Ball Z: Shin Butōden]]'' for the Sega Saturn<ref>{{Cite videogame|Game=c21}}</ref>, effectively an enhanced/upgraded version of ''Ultimate Battle 22''.

Once Gogeta makes his [[Super Saiyan 4]] appearance in [[Dragon Ball GT Episode 60|''Dragon Ball GT'' episode 60]] in 1997 with an all-new "[[Big Bang Kamehameha]]," the split between it for Gogeta and the Final Kamehameha for Vegetto as trademark video game attacks becomes more distinct and uniform.


Vegetto makes return appearances in 1996's ''[[Dragon Ball Z: The Grand Legend of Dragon Ball]]'' on the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn, as well as 1997's ''[[Dragon Ball: Final Bout]]'' on the Sony PlayStation. It is here in ''Final Bout'' that Vegetto begins to receive his trademark Final Kamehameha, available as a standard super move.<ref>{{Cite videogame|Game=c24}}</ref> Promotional coverage for Vegetto in ''Final Bout'', however, focuses instead of his Flash Sword Attack and Rising Chain Kick instead of any particular callout for his Final Kamehameha, though it is listed as doing 160 points of damage.<ref>{{Cite magazine|Mag=VJ|Year=1997|Issue=10|Date=21 August 1997|Title="DRAGON BALL FINAL BOUT"|Page=p. 21}}</ref>

Having previously been used only in video games, the Final Kamehameha makes its animated debut in the ''Dragon Ball Super'' series. Following Goku and Vegeta's fusion into [[Vegetto]] (and subsequent transformation into [[Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan]], or "Vegetto Blue"), Vegetto unleashes the Final Kamehameha against [[Zamasu|Merged Zamasu]].<ref name="super66"></ref>

The Final Kamehameha is an attack in the Dragon Ball franchise that combines the Final Flash from Vegeta and the Kamehameha from Son Goku into a new, unique attack.

While the attack typically used by Vegetto (though it debuted with Gogeta) as a single entity, these are cases across media of separate characters using it as a combination-type attack.

General Overview

The Final Kamehameha is typically rendered as a large, yellow beam of energy shot from both hands, and/or a blue beam with yellow surroundings. When used as a combination attack by two separate characters, the Final Flash and Kamehameha retain their own respective characteristics.

Name

The Final Kamehameha (ファイナルかめはめ波 Fainaru Kamehameha) combines the names of the Final Flash and Kamehameha from Vegeta and Goku, respectively:

  • "Final": From "Final Flash" (ファイナルフラッシュ)
  • "Kamehameha": From "Kamehameha" (かめはめ波)

As with the regular Kamehameha, the trailing "-ha" syllable is the only character rendered with kanji, having a specific meaning of "wave"; "Final" is rendered with katakana (indicating its foreign origin), and "Kamehameha-" is rendered with hiragana.

Usage

Though it debuts with Gogeta in 1995's Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22 for the PlayStation, the Final Kamehameha is typically available to Vegetto as a special or super move in video games.

The Final Kamehameha makes its non-video game debut in the Dragon Ball Super television series as part of Vegetto's battle against Merged Zamasu[1], the events for which are also adapted in the series' manga version[2] (where no "Final Kamehameha" is actually spoken aloud in dialog).

Goku and Vegeta also use the Final Kamehameha (as unfused, separate characters) as a combination attack to eliminate the Trio de Dangers in episode 98 of the Dragon Ball Super television series; the attack was named as the "Final Kamehameha" in all three of the respective Trio's Toei Animation website profiles.[3][4]

With the attack being a staple of Vegetto's technique arsenal in the corresponding Super Dragon Ball Heroes card-based arcade game series, Vegetto uses the Final Kamehameha against Cumber in the third episode of the Super Dragon Ball Heroes promotional anime, and later against Demigra in episode 49.

As part of an expanded move set within the "Meteor Mission" card MM4-049 for Future Trunks in the Super Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game, when used as an attacker from round two onward, Trunks fights alongside the future version of Son Gohan to deal massive damage with a combination attack that is unnamed on the card, but is spoken aloud separately by the characters as "Final Flash" and "Kamehameha" which then merges together into the blue-surrounded-by-yellow-sparks as seen with the Goku and Vegeta combination version.[5]

Production

Dragon Ball: Ultimate Battle 22 guidebook showcasing Gogeta's various moves[6]
October 1997 V-Jump spotlight on Vegetto in Dragon Ball: Final Bout focused on his Flash Sword Attack and Rising Chain Kick[7]

In filler material in Dragon Ball Z episode 272 (animated content not originally present in manga chapter 505 on which it is based), Vegetto cups his hands and fires a Kamehameha-like attack at Majin Boo; no attack name is spoken aloud by Vegetto, and this attack is not specifically or directly attributed in ancillary material.

As an actual named attack, the Final Kamehameha debuts in 1995's Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22 on the Sony PlayStation as an attack for Gogeta; here it is rendered a strong, but small, projectile attack. Gogeta speaks the name "Final Kamehameha" aloud while performing this attack.[8] This attack is retained for that year's Dragon Ball Z: Shin Butōden for the Sega Saturn[9], effectively an enhanced/upgraded version of Ultimate Battle 22.

Once Gogeta makes his Super Saiyan 4 appearance in Dragon Ball GT episode 60 in 1997 with an all-new "Big Bang Kamehameha," the split between it for Gogeta and the Final Kamehameha for Vegetto as trademark video game attacks becomes more distinct and uniform.

Vegetto makes return appearances in 1996's Dragon Ball Z: The Grand Legend of Dragon Ball on the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn, as well as 1997's Dragon Ball: Final Bout on the Sony PlayStation, but it is here in Final Bout that Vegetto begins to receive his trademark Final Kamehameha, available as a standard super move.[10] Promotional coverage for Vegetto in Final Bout, however, focuses instead of his Flash Sword Attack and Rising Chain Kick instead of any particular callout for his Final Kamehameha, though it is listed as doing 160 points of damage.[7]

Up to this point having previously been used only in video games, the Final Kamehameha makes its animated debut in the Dragon Ball Super series. Following Goku and Vegeta's fusion into Vegetto (and subsequent transformation into Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, or "Vegetto Blue"), Vegetto unleashes the Final Kamehameha against Merged Zamasu.[1]

Variations

God Final Kamehameha

Beginning with the Dragon Ball Super / "SSGSS" version of Vegetto, an upgraded version of the Final Kamehameha called the "God Final Kamehameha" (ゴッドファイナルかめはめ波 Goddo Fainaru Kamehameha) begins appearing as a move in various video games — for example, the video game Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO includes the Final Kamehameha as a special move for Super Saiyan Vegetto, while Vegetto Blue has the God Final Kamehameha as his super move. The God Final Kamehameha is also available to SSGSS Vegetto in the Super Dragon Ball Heroes card-based arcade game via cards such as PBBS5-07.

Teleportation Final Kamehameha

The Teleportation Final Kamehameha (瞬間移動ファイナルかめはめ波 Shunkan-idō Kamehameha; literally "Instantaneous Movement Kamehameha") is SSGSS Vegetto's upgraded version of the "Teleportation Kamehameha" (as originally used by Son Goku against Cell[11]). The Teleportation Final Kamehameha is available to SSGSS Vegetto in the Super Dragon Ball Heroes card-based arcade game via cards such as BMPJ-31 and MM4-062.

Erroneous Citations

Vegetto's super moves in Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension, as seen in its instruction manual, include the standard Kamehameha and Big Bang Attack
Vegetto's attacks specified as the "Super Kamehameha" and "Vegetto Sword" in the Jump Ultimate Stars Emperor's Bible guidebook[17]

Across various fansites and wikis, Vegetto is often cited as having the Final Kamehameha in certain media when there is either no evidence to specifically support it, and/or direct documentation to the contrary exists. Some of these examples include, but are not limited to:

  • In the aforementioned filler material from Dragon Ball Z episode 272, Vegetto cups his hands and fires a Kamehameha-like attack at Majin Boo, but this attack is not specifically named in supplemental/ancillary material; for example, the coverage of these respective episodes' events in Dragon Ball Supplemental Daizenshuu: TV Animation Part 3 makes no mention at all of this attack.[18]
  • Though Vegetto appears in 1996's Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension on the Nintendo Super Famicom, he does not have a Final Kamehameha for an attack; instead, he uses both a standard Kamehameha as well as the Big Bang Attack[19] (the latter of which Vegetto uses in Dragon Ball Z Episode 270, which aired eight months prior to the game's release).[20] Many FAQs and move lists online mistakenly list Vegetto's Kamehameha as a Final Kamehameha.[21][22][23][24]
  • In the 2006 crossover fighting game Jump Ultimate Stars for the Nintendo DS, Vegetto performs (as specified in the game's Jump Ultimate Stars Emperor's Bible guide book) a "Super Kamehameha"[17]; as with Hyper Dimension, this move is often mistakenly listed as a "Final Kamehameha" across online move lists and video showcases.[25]
