Flashing Kamehameha (フラッシングかめはめは) is a golden flashing version of the Kamehameha used by Gohan in his Super Saiyan 2 form. First, Gohan charges up an incredible amount of energy so that the golden aura around his body keeps flashing. Then, he brings his cupped hands to his side and charges a golden-yellow Kamehameha. Finally, Gohan brings his hands forward and fires the attack with the flashing light emanating from his body at the opponent, inflicting a high amount of damage and even creating a mushroom cloud in its wake.

Gohan used this attack in an attempt to destroy Majin Buu's cocoon. Wanting to protect the people he cared about from Majin Buu, Gohan rejected Supreme Kai's retreating order and attacked Majin Buu's cocoon with the Flashing Kamehameha. However, as the smoke cleared, the cocoon appeared to be unaffected by Gohan's attack. Gohan then fired several Flashing Kamehamehas at Majin Buu's cocoon, but could not inflict any damage and instead blasted the cocoon up into the air. Gohan tried one more time to destroy it with a Super Flashing Kamehameha, but like the other attempts, the cocoon was unfazed.

Flashing Kamehameha appeared in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and Dragon Ball: Raging Blast, where its color changed to blue. It is also named, "Super Kamehameha," and is Gohan's Ultimate Blast in his Super Saiyan 2 form.

[edit] Variation

• Super Flashing Kamehameha - An enhanced version of the Flashing Kamehameha that Gohan used to try and destroy Majin Buu's cocoon. However, it still proved to have no effect, as the egg hatched and released Majin Buu.
