"No, damn it all! Damn it, damn it, DAMN IT! DAAAAAAMN IIIIIIT!!"
— Perfect Cell after suffering the Ultimate Kamehameha in "Perfection's End! A Fury Beyond Super Saiyan!"

Ultimate Kamehameha (究極かめはめ波, Kyūkyoku Kamehameha, lit. "Ultimate Kamehame Wave")^[5] is a more powerful version of the Super Kamehameha used by Gohan in his Super Saiyan 2 and Ultimate forms.

Overview[]

Standing perfectly still, Gohan quietly chants each syllable of the Kamehameha before suddenly cupping his hands to his side, then bringing them forward on the last syllable ("..Haaa!") to fire an enormous energy wave.

Usage[]

Gohan's Ultimate Kamehameha — Gohan overpowers Cell's Kamehameha.

Gohan uses this attack during his battle against Perfect Cell. Realizing he could not defeat Gohan, Cell flies straight up into the air and fires his Earth-Destroying Kamehameha down at Gohan, hoping to either destroy Gohan or wipe out the entire Earth. While the Dragon Team panics, the Super Saiyan 2 counters the incoming attack with the Ultimate Kamehameha, overpowering Cell's Earth-Destroying Kamehameha and destroying most of the Bio-Android's body. Overcome by agony and terror, Cell regenerates and flies into a rage in an attempt to defeat Gohan, to no avail.^[6]
