Gohadoken

Gohadoken is a fictional projectile energy attack featured in the anime and manga series Dragon Ball. It is primarily performed by the character Yamcha. The Gohadoken is a variation of the more common Kamehameha, a signature move of Goku and other Z-Fighters. Yamcha developed his own version of the energy blast, differentiating it slightly in its appearance and execution.

Visually, the Gohadoken is typically depicted as a blue or purple energy sphere that is launched from the user's hands. The attack requires the user to cup their hands together, similar to the Kamehameha, and then thrust them forward to unleash the blast. While not as powerful as the Kamehameha, the Gohadoken is still a formidable offensive technique used by Yamcha in various battles throughout the series. Its effectiveness often depends on the opponent and the situation.

The development of the Gohadoken by Yamcha highlights the martial arts and energy-manipulation training undertaken by many characters in the Dragon Ball universe. It serves as a personal signature move for Yamcha, distinguishing him from other fighters who might use similar energy-based attacks. The attack has been featured in numerous arcs of the manga and anime, as well as in various Dragon Ball video games, allowing fans to utilize Yamcha's signature move in interactive gameplay.
