Kamekameha[9] (かめかめ波 Kamekameha, lit. "Turtle Turtle Wave") is a mispronounced and misdirected version of the Kamehameha used by Goten.

Overview[]

Kamekameha1

Kamekameha as it appears in the manga

Goten charges up a Kamehameha sphere between his hands and fires it in typical energy wave fashion. Unfortunately, he not only mispronounces the attack as "KameKAme-Ha", but due to his lack of knowledge of energy direction control, lets the energy wave run wild and completely misses his target.

Usage[]

During his match against Trunks in the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament, Goten attempts to use the Kamehameha, though he says he just had it barely taught to him (presumably by Gohan). Trunks laughs when Goten accidentally uses his Kamekameha, tilting his head to the side to dodge the out-of-control blast, which the World Tournament Announcer jumps to avoid as it blasts a hole through the World Tournament waiting room. A spectating Goku notes that Goten hasn't quite gotten the hang of controlling his Kamehameha, while Videl is left speechless at the power Goten possesses.

In the Funimation dub, Goten's lack of control is his only error, as he pronounces "Kamehameha" correctly, while in the Dragon Ball Z Kai dub, he again mispronounces it as in the Japanese version.

Film Appearances[]

In Dragon Ball Z: Bio-Broly, Goten uses a Kamekameha in tandem with Trunks' own Kamehameha in an attempt to destroy Bio-Broly within a cloning tank, but the Bio-Saiyan can prevent the attack. Later, Goten uses the Kamekameha again to intercept the Culture Fluid in the Mei Queen Castle to help his friends.

Goten firing the Kamekameha in Buu's Fury

In Super Butōden 3, Ultimate Battle 22, and Buu's Fury, the attack appears and functions just like the regular Kamehameha.

In Legendary Super Warriors, it deals 25% more in damage while only being able to be used by Goten.

In the Budokai Tenkaichi series and Raging Blast series, it is named Kamehameha though Goten he says "Kamekameha!!" while powering up the attack.

In Xenoverse, the Kamekameha appears as Goten's Super Skill and compared to the Kamehameha, the Kamekameha is much faster, although cannot be charged past level one, putting it on par with the Galick Gun. It can also be obtained by the Future Warrior as a reward in Parallel Quest 53: "Dangerous Duo! Warriors Never Rest".
