What exactly is "Kamehameha"? Physical force?

yes it's fucking fire

>>158561302
I think its called animation

>>158561302
Ki, a fictional form of energy that symbolizes the user's physical strength. think of it as mana for martial arts instead of magic.

>>158561302
It's a wave.

>>158561302
It seems like controlled tangible fire. Because it burns.

Or a concentrated nuke sent out in a wave.

It's a fucking magic laser, nothing more than that

It has to be something destructive enough to destroy at the cellular level.

Goku said he was strong enough to defeat kid buu but that was only with the genki dama.

Teen Gohan was able to destroy cell however with one arm. Whatever it is, it seems to completely disintegrate what it touches if not protected by it's own ki

Something about tortoises

TURTLE WAVE

From physics pov, its basically light or rather concentrated light. Similar to lasers. Think of it as high density laser.

While our technology can only produce linear lasers, Goku and others can produce light of any shape. That's because they're generating light themselves. Sorta like mini-fusion taking place.


Alternatively, you could think of their powers as generating intense heat. That heat is then used to heat up surrounding air/molecules which creates plasma. They then push that plasma out to their opponents who try to either repel that plasma by generating their own plasma stream.

Ok Ki is an extension of the user. Take Luffy for example, when he punches he stretches right? Similar concept with ki blasts. So Goku's Kamehameha wave is like a forcing his entire body at some one but in energy form. It's like throwing a punch from a distance but that punch turns into energy. Like the Hadoken Ryu uses.

An interdimensional portal to a non-einsteinian universe, the escaping photons transmit pure concussive force upon interacting with matter from our universe.

>>158561302
A Wave of energy emitted by the user with the usage of a certain type of ki. Vegeta's uses a different type of ki which is why his Gallic Gun is purple and not the same color as the Kamehameha.

According to the Mexican version, is a "glacier wave."

I know we make fun of "Talk no Jutsu" in Naruto but i have always wanted to dive a little deeper into the Ki system in DB like what was done in Naruto.
Like, i get that transforming into a Super Saiyan makes you stronger but how exactly and why is it different from Kaio-ken?
Why is Vegetas Final Flash yellow and why is Galickgun purple?
Is it better to have aura around you when you fight, like what was shown when F.Trunks was told to cut Goku and he blocked it with just a finger or is it better to seal all the energy inside you like Goku just did in super?
Stuff like that.

>>158561302
a concentrated emission of ki energy that disentegrates what it hits through sheer kinetic pressure. Magic is the only reason the atmosphere doesnt blow into space everytime Goku uses Kamehameha.

>>158561447
Thread should have ended here.

>>158563621
t. faggot

>>158563694
When you have an aura around you it means your ki is escaping the body. However, keeping large amounts of ki inside the body is fucking hard, so if you don't have an aura around you it means that you're either not generating enough ki, or that you can contain and control it completely.

Street Fighter actually has explanations as to what the different fireballs feel like

Ryu
Hadoken - About the same temp as the human body. Feels like getting hit by
a nice solid kick. Once hit by this, the damage stays for a vey long time.
Shakunetsu Hadoken - The same temp as hot water. Not enough to burn cloths.

Ken's Hadoken - Neither hot nor cold. Feels like a nice solid punch. The damage doesn't stay like Ryu's.
Sakura's Hadoken - Is very warm, not as hot as Ken's. The effect varies on which type. Small - Feels like a hard slap. Medium - same as Ken's. Large - Same as Ryu's.
Gouki's GouHadoken - About the same temperature as the human body. Same kind as Ryu's but much greater in power and effect.
Dan's Gadoken - Very warm. Feels like a slap.
Yoga Fire - Same temperature as boiling hot water. The damage feels kinda like the same feeling you get when you eat something very, very spicy.(Curry)
Tiger shot - The damage feels like getting mauled by a ferocious tiger. The temperature is freezing cold.
Kikoken - About the temperature of a warm bath. The hit doesn't feel like a solid hit but more of an effect that affects the whole body.
Soul Spark - Isn't cold or hot. The hit itself isn't hard at all but it makes the area it hit very numb.
Psycho Shot - Very, very hot. And the hit will burn the area it hits instantly and makes it very numb.

Other then then that, this is pretty interesting.
Is there a whole list for this somewhere?

Ki that is concentrated within the hands in the shape of a ball. Because the mass of ki ks so extreme, it shines like a light as a little globe.

This mass of Ki is then unleashed all at once and because of the shape the hands do, the mass of Ki is controlled to be fired into the direction the hands are.

The form of the hands are vital cause it prevents the ki from flying around your own ears by directing the Ki into a direction.
