Goku’s Latest Kamehameha Calls Back to His Most Iconic
Sensing the danger Gomah posed to Earth’s heroes and the Demon Realm, Goku entered the series' final battle with the sole intent of ending it.His adult version of Super Saiyan 4overpowered the ruler at every turn, and in an attempt to put the fight away,the series' leading Saiyan charged his most famous attack. Not only is the sequence visually gorgeous, but towards the tail end of it, there are frames that call back to Goku’s Kamehameha against Baby in GT, as well as the one used against Vegeta during the Saiyan Saga.
The blast easily overpowered Gomah’s counterattack,before blowing a hole clean through the chest of the Demon Realm king. Unfortunately, due to the Evil Third Eye fixed to his forehead, the damage Gomah sustained was only temporary, and the victory would ultimately come down toa few good whacks from Majin Kuu.Dragon Ball Daimaboasted another impressive use of the Kamehameha during Episode #8, in which Goku took on Tamigami #3, but it pales in comparison to the series' final use of the attack.

The Saiyan often fights selfishly and has plenty of flaws, but he is a hero nonetheless, as proven with the latest anime’s last Kamehameha. Intended only to defeat Gomah, Goku’s attack went clean through the evil king and wound upcreating a hole reaching from the First to the Third Demon Worlds. As a result, the gas which polluted the world was able to rise, freeing the residents from its harsh conditions and opening up a traversible path throughout the Demon Realm.
