The Feinto Kamehameha (フェイント かめはめ波, Feinto Kamehameha; Literally meaning "Feint Turtle Destruction Wave") is an energy sphere attack used by Son Goku.
Usage[edit]
First, Goku puts his hands to his sides and says, "Ka... me... ha...". Next, he charges a blue sphere of energy in each hand as he draws them forward and says, "me... ha!" Then, he releases the spheres of energy and backs away while maintaining their shape and direction. Finally, Goku aims them at his opponent using his arm movements, inflicting a great amount of damage.
History[edit]
Dragon Ball Z[edit]
Frieza Saga[edit]
Goku used this attack in his battle against Freeza in his Final Form on Planet Namek. After getting kicked into the ocean by Final Form Freeza, Goku discovered that Final Form Freeza had used his eyes to follow Goku's movements instead of sensing his energy. Testing this possibility, Goku fired the Feinto Kamehameha one by one at Final Form Freeza. Final Form Freeza mistook the Feinto Kamehameha for Goku, but he still managed to dodge the attack. This was merely a distraction by Goku to emerge from the ocean unseen and double kick Final Form Freeza into a cliff from behind.
Babidi Saga[edit]
Son Gohan used a very similar attack in his fight against Dabura in "Heart of a Villain". After getting blasted into the water by Dabura's Evil Impulse, Gohan realized that Dabura was waiting for him on land and charged a sphere of energy from each hand and fired them both immediately as opposed to Goku's Feinto Kamehameha where he backed away after he created the spheres of energy. Gohan's spheres of energy came out of the water and he guided them to Dabura instead of firing them at his enemy like Goku did against Final Form Freeza. Dabura deflected both spheres of energy, however, and blasted Gohan again with his Evil Impulse.
Guide books[edit]
Feinto Kamehameha is named in Dragon Ball: Daizenshū 7.
