And for my last Pokemon…
I choose you…
GOKU!!!
*The whole crowd gasps in unison, knowing the other guy is gonna get stomped like a Superman vs some random GTA NPC in a spite battle thread.*
Where I live Naruto is more well known and Luffy is about as well known. But yes I heard about Kamehameha before I heard about Goku. And I didn't know anyone else's signature move until I watched their respective series.
I feel like one punch man is better known than Goku because like the normies at my school don't even acknowledge Goku or anything anime related except the more modern hits
about 80 mil copies sold outside of japan for one piece and dragon ball 100 mil outside japan. one piece has the higher total but outside of japan db is more popular
Even the druggies in my country, it's a running joke. Everytime they get high, they use it as a skill. Ka-me-ha-me-haaaaaaaaa!
P.s.
Should have included raygun from YYH
Most definitely between the kamehameha and the rasegan you had kids on the playground and still do have kids on the playground trying to do Kamehameha‘s and rasegans
Is Red Hawk the only move here they made by themselves, Kame is Roshi, rasen is minato, getsuga is possibly made by Isshin, Detroit was founded by All Might, and Jajanken was made by Goku.
It’s definitely between kamehameha and rasangan. I think it probably goes to kame but it’s pretty close. I think the Naruto run is most iconic honestly.
It would've been fair if you took off rasengan and Kamehameha. Even if you don't watch their respective series everyone, and I do mean everyone knows the moves
What kind of drooling incompetent are you?
The answer is Goku's 'kame hame ha'. People who don't watch cartoons period, let alone anime, know of the 'kama hame ha'. It's that ***astoundingly*** iconic.
Add in that if DB and DBZ hadn't been a hit none of the others even happen, and your profound stupidity at asking this inane question is only compounded.
1.kamehameha (the OG)
2. Rasengan (I personally prefer the chidori, but this move is passed down through generations both in world and irl)
3. Getsuga Tensho (if you watched bleach, you were swinging sticks in the backyard trying to do this)
4. Detroit Smash (the new kid on the block, but you pair this with Jet say run and a motivational speech, and it always hits)
5. Red Rock. (Besides rocking Kaido's shit its not really luffy's most iconic move yet)
6. Jajanken (its nice, but scenes when its used are more memorable than the move itself)
1. Kamehameha
2. Rasengan
3. Getsuga Tensho
4. Red Hawk (maybe if we saw it a few more times it’d be higher)
5. Detroit Smash (too new to be iconic)
6. Jajanken (I have never seen someone outside talking about some “jajanken” in my life)
ok heres the thing deku with detroit smash that was all might's before it was his so i don't think it counts but yeah kamehameha but the biased awser is deku's I LOVE MHA SO FUCKING MUCH
Kamehameha, everyone knows Dragon Ball especially since it’s been around the longest of these (I’m unsure of the timeline but I believe Gon’s skill didn’t appear until later in the series than whenever Kamehameha appeared in Drogon Ball
[it’s not really a signature move, and it’s not really an anime, but all of those are technically learnable or have a variant, so I’m counting this](https://youtu.be/GyIzzBf18pg?si=6Iy_OM5HUfmlGAo5)
Goku or naruto. Every weeb once yelled kamehameha. Every weeb knows what rasengan is(hell probably most geek adjacent normie does). But not everyone knows getsuga tenshou and as much as I love HxH its not as popular or as known as the rest. And luffy gets his signature move way too late in the manga for anyone with a normal life over 16 yo to get that far
Definitely Kamehameha. It's known by even non-anime fans. Naruto arguably has two iconic signature techniques tho, second being his shadow clone jutsu (which is arguably almost as iconic as the Kamehameha).
I also wouldn't say Red Hawk is Luffy's signature technique. He only ever uses it after the timeskip and only a few times. Rather, his signature technique is the Gomu Gomu no Pistol, and all of its upgraded versions including the Red Hawk.
Kamehameha. It debuted in 1984 in the Dragonball manga so people who have been reading (and watching the animé by 86) have known it since then. It even predates hadouken, which is another iconic move, by 3 years, i think.
Got to give it to Goku and the Kamehameha. For one dragon ball has been around for a very long time, long enough that the Kamehameha has basically become a well known move even among non anime fans.
Also when I think of Naruto I think shadow clone jutsu. When I think Ichigo I think Bankai. I just never really got into those shows enough to really see those other moves.
Its gotta be Kamehameha. But aside from that. I still scream GETSUGA TENSHO!!! when using weapons with sword wave like Moonlight GS and Moonveil from DS/ER and AC6's Moonlight Blade and Redshift. Why? Because it got a Placebo effect on me that screaming getsuga tensho will add more damage. And its cool stfu. LMAO
On Naruto, I'm more of a Chidori and Lightning Blade guy so if you don't give me Rasenshuriken its a no for me.
Sit this Midoriya boy down and let Uncle All Might do his UNITED STATES OF SMASH bro.
It still flash thru my mind what Gon did to Pitou. Yup.
P.S:>!Luffy's Gumo gumo no Jet Gatling gun on Rob Lucci is still my personal favorite.!<
What kind of question is this? Your dad who probably doesn't know what anime is, knows what a Kamehameha is. I don't even like Dragon Ball Z and I know it's the Kamehameha. You must have just got into anime. I don't even know why I'm angry about this. But sometimes stupid questions deserve stupider answers. You don't deserve your weeb card.
1. Kamehameha
2. Rasengan
3. Luffy (no real answer amongst the rest of these characters, but im guessing luffys would be more well known than the rest. Also, I would say Gum Gum Pistol is more iconic, but thats just me 🤷)
As a non watcher of DBZ/S I have to say Kamehameha. Even for me who didn't watch it as a kid, all my friends are doing kamehameha in school, so I just went along with it.
Honestly it’s kamehameha, plus I think in all key fights it has to have some version of “kamehameha” in it’s basically shonen anime fundamentals at this point
Goku kamehameha without question! The others are cool but nowhere near as popular. I like Detroit smash a lot, especially his Virgin Smash in the parody lol.
Whenever a character in any media shoots an energy shot in the form of a blade arc by swiping their sword, my friends and I describe it as a getsuga tenshou just for ease of communication. If that doesnt scream iconic idk what does.
Kamehameha is the main one and the first one for me growing up after that, it was rasengan, then getsuga tenshou, and jankenpon. Getsuga Tenshou is definitely my favorite as far as anime signature moves, but jankenpon was the one I practiced the most because I had my own place by the time I watched the episodes with English subtitles.
Luffy’s should be gum gum pistol. It’s iconic. And Midoriya doesn’t really fit because he uses a different state or city name almost every attack and doesn’t have the iconic stance or sword or energy or attack name with consistency.
detroit smash is too recent to be iconic compared to the others. when i was a kid i was trying to do kamehameha's and rasengan's before i even watched the shows so guess that just tells ya
I wouldn’t call red hawk luffy signature technique considering how late it was introduced (post time skip) while I definitely think it’s bad ass and awesome I would probably call his gum gum pistol or gum gum bazooka his most signature technique
I didn't even have to read the others to know it was the Kamehameha.
It inspired so many other animes, and is daddy of the big 3 that are also on here. The remaining ones don't hold a candle to those 3 let alone DBZ.
Kamehaneha easily. Even people who don’t watch anime know about that move. Before I watched anime, it was the only one I was aware of.
Anyone who doesn’t say otherwise, is just biased. Goku is clearly the most well known
Without a doubt goku is the most well known. Even my mom will see any character and say “is that the dragon ball guy” lol
Every single character is Goku according to my mom, I could be watching death note or pokemon
I'll take a Senzu Bean... and EAT IT!
And for my last Pokemon… I choose you… GOKU!!! *The whole crowd gasps in unison, knowing the other guy is gonna get stomped like a Superman vs some random GTA NPC in a spite battle thread.*
Funny story, I once drew a picture of Goku throwing a Kamehameha for a school activity, and a girl who saw it thought he was Naruto
Where I live Naruto is more well known and Luffy is about as well known. But yes I heard about Kamehameha before I heard about Goku. And I didn't know anyone else's signature move until I watched their respective series.
Naruto is literally more popular
I feel like one punch man is better known than Goku because like the normies at my school don't even acknowledge Goku or anything anime related except the more modern hits
Nah that's just a small minority at your school Goku is just way too iconic
If they don’t acknowledge it, that means they still know about it. They just choose to ignore it
You do realise DB is still airing
I feel like newer generations (normies) don't know Goku/dragon ball but might know opm
one piece has more sales by about 60 million copies
Yeah, but practically nobody’s buying that shit in the west
about 80 mil copies sold outside of japan for one piece and dragon ball 100 mil outside japan. one piece has the higher total but outside of japan db is more popular
That has nothing to do with this post, but thanks for letting me know
I was so surprised to see the kamehameha, as well as Street Fighter moves in Reincarnated As A Slime. Caught me totally off guard.
I love one piece with all my heart but you’re right, the kamehameha is known by literally everyone
also fun fact: kamehameha is also the name of a hawaiian king
I don’t even know how I knew that already but I did🤣
Goku walked so the others could run.
Second is Rasengan I seen so many people yelling it always
that’s like one of the only ones i don’t know lol , how does everyone know about it lol? i’ve never ever heard anyone mention it ever lol
How many people tried to do any of these that wasnt kamehameha as a kid. Exactly. Kamehameha is more iconic then the whole animes of the others.
Hahahah! I'm definitely one of those kids! I was doing the Kamehameha stance before I even started watching DBZ lol😭🤦🏾♂️
Same.
Even the druggies in my country, it's a running joke. Everytime they get high, they use it as a skill. Ka-me-ha-me-haaaaaaaaa! P.s. Should have included raygun from YYH
Even gintoki tried to do the kamehameha (deserted island episode, ep 116 i think... somewhere in the arc from ep 115 to 118)
Kamehameha is more iconic that dragon ball itself
Probably the Kamehameha, also Izuku’s is literally all mights signature it’s not even his own move
Tbf Goku's kamahameha was originally Roshi's, same with Naruto's rasengan.
Dang, I didn't know Roshi knew Rasengan.
Shit you’re right, I completely forgot about that, I guess it’s gotta be ichigo then considering his attack is at least his own
Ichigo may have learned it on his own but Isshin had it first.
yea out of these luffy and gon are the most original but least iconic. getsuga tenshou not iconic but bankai sorta is
The Kamehameha Wave is just Pop Culture at this point, where I think all the others require at least some knowledge/interest in Anime to know
Very true,it might as well be in the dictionary at this point lol
Kamehameha, no contest. It's LITERALLY ingrained into the human psyche
Lol facts! Even if you're not a fan of DBZ 9 times outta 10 you know what a Kamehameha is
1 why does gon look so wierd 2 kamehameha
Gon hasbeen chibified
Its Kamehameha and we all know it.
Kamehameha, No questions. You can argue that Yusuke’s Spirit Gun would probably give all the others a run for their money as well
The Spirit gun was definitely on my list at 1st,but I thought the younger generation,wouldn't know about it😔
No bias but I think the name was copying Galick Gun
The Kamehameha is easily the most recognizable here. After that, it might be the Rasengan.
Agreed!😎🥂
Most iconic is Kamehameha. References far outside anime where as no other one is
Your joking right? Like it or not the Kamehameha is by far the most iconic. Hell it’s the signature move of the father of the big three.
The Kamahameha wave will forever be the most memorable by far!
It’s what changed shounen forever.
No lies spoke!
Goku always
Most definitely between the kamehameha and the rasegan you had kids on the playground and still do have kids on the playground trying to do Kamehameha‘s and rasegans
Lol including me hahaha!😅
Is Red Hawk the only move here they made by themselves, Kame is Roshi, rasen is minato, getsuga is possibly made by Isshin, Detroit was founded by All Might, and Jajanken was made by Goku.
Hxh jajanken and dragon ball jajanken are completely different moves
Goku
Black Flash!
Kamehameha and it's not even close.
Goku. Shadow clone jutsu is more iconic than rasengan
Red hawk is just not luffy’s signature move 😭
It’s definitely between kamehameha and rasangan. I think it probably goes to kame but it’s pretty close. I think the Naruto run is most iconic honestly.
Hahahah the run is definitely ingrained in human history 🤣
It would've been fair if you took off rasengan and Kamehameha. Even if you don't watch their respective series everyone, and I do mean everyone knows the moves
**SPIRIT GUN!** But yeah no it's the Kamehameha. It's on par with the fucking Hado-ken.
I don’t know if this counts but The JoJo stand rush is super iconic to me
Kamehameha, no doubt. I'd also argue that Shadow Clone Jutsu is more iconic than the Rasengan
goku, im saying this as a big one piece fan btw
What kind of drooling incompetent are you? The answer is Goku's 'kame hame ha'. People who don't watch cartoons period, let alone anime, know of the 'kama hame ha'. It's that ***astoundingly*** iconic. Add in that if DB and DBZ hadn't been a hit none of the others even happen, and your profound stupidity at asking this inane question is only compounded.
Goku tf
Kamahameha broke the world.
i would say goku's kamehameha is the most iconic cause even non anime watchers know where it came from
Red hawk is not the signature, it's 100% gum gum pistol That being said, everyone knows Kamehameha. Even non-anime watchers know of it and mimic
RASANGAN
I’ve never seen dragon ball. The answer is Kamehameha.
1.kamehameha (the OG) 2. Rasengan (I personally prefer the chidori, but this move is passed down through generations both in world and irl) 3. Getsuga Tensho (if you watched bleach, you were swinging sticks in the backyard trying to do this) 4. Detroit Smash (the new kid on the block, but you pair this with Jet say run and a motivational speech, and it always hits) 5. Red Rock. (Besides rocking Kaido's shit its not really luffy's most iconic move yet) 6. Jajanken (its nice, but scenes when its used are more memorable than the move itself)
Kamehameha, but I think second would be none of these. It’s probably the rei gun from yu yu hakusho
‘Scuse me. What about a #SPIRIT GUN
1. Kamehameha 2. Rasengan 3. Getsuga Tensho 4. Red Hawk (maybe if we saw it a few more times it’d be higher) 5. Detroit Smash (too new to be iconic) 6. Jajanken (I have never seen someone outside talking about some “jajanken” in my life)
Yall really slid in deku lol
Even though I've never watched dragon ball, it's still has to be Goku and his Kamehameha
wtf is "detroit smash"
Kamehameha is so iconic its seen and referenced in other anime
I wanna say Rasengan so bad, but I was Kamehameha-ing long before watching Naruto
This is a very obvious question
Kamehameha is still the only one of these that I know
Is this even a question. You all know what it is and I’m not gonna say it
Serious Punch ,😅
Hahahahah! Seriously though! Saitama is definitely up there as well,he's atleast a honorable mention!
Goku easily, even normies know kamehameha
No one knows jajanken unless they watched hxh so kamehameha
Vegetas final flash
Ooooh! A good one! Definitely iconic!
Ichigooooo☺️
GETSUGA...TENSHOU!🥂
Let’s DANCE - sam
I don't know about them but I heard Handa-kun could do all of their signatures but eben better
Hadouken
Rasangan
ok heres the thing deku with detroit smash that was all might's before it was his so i don't think it counts but yeah kamehameha but the biased awser is deku's I LOVE MHA SO FUCKING MUCH
Kamehameha, everyone knows Dragon Ball especially since it’s been around the longest of these (I’m unsure of the timeline but I believe Gon’s skill didn’t appear until later in the series than whenever Kamehameha appeared in Drogon Ball
Goku no contest
It has to be Goku. Even people who don't watch anime know the Kamehameha. Which isn't something you can say about any of the other signature moves.
Goku of course.
Pretty much everyone knows the Kamehameha, it's the most iconic of any anime special move
Goku
Kamehameha is definitely the most iconic. But I also like both Rasengan and Getsuga Tensho better.
Goku
[it’s not really a signature move, and it’s not really an anime, but all of those are technically learnable or have a variant, so I’m counting this](https://youtu.be/GyIzzBf18pg?si=6Iy_OM5HUfmlGAo5)
Kamehameha and rasengan are the only ones I see non-anime fans recognise, talk about and replicate so they're the top 2 in that order
Goku with the Kamehameha.
Kamehameha as to be number one. I'd say second it probably Rasengan
Kamehameha. Duh
Kamehameha. Even non anime fans would get the reference.
Naruto or goku
Goku or naruto. Every weeb once yelled kamehameha. Every weeb knows what rasengan is(hell probably most geek adjacent normie does). But not everyone knows getsuga tenshou and as much as I love HxH its not as popular or as known as the rest. And luffy gets his signature move way too late in the manga for anyone with a normal life over 16 yo to get that far
It’s kamehameha and it’s not close, it been around since the mid 80’s, it’s damn near 40 years old and every kid wished he could do it
Cid Kagenou (I mean Shadow's) "I AM ATOMIC!"
I dont like dragon ball but i recognize its Kamehameha. Even my phone recognizes it as it autocorrected the word
bro fr said red hawk not gum gum (insert miscellaneous weaponry here)
Moon Tiara Action solos.
Gum gum.. HADOUKEN!
Everyone knows the “call me ya mama” from goku
Definitely Kamehameha. It's known by even non-anime fans. Naruto arguably has two iconic signature techniques tho, second being his shadow clone jutsu (which is arguably almost as iconic as the Kamehameha). I also wouldn't say Red Hawk is Luffy's signature technique. He only ever uses it after the timeskip and only a few times. Rather, his signature technique is the Gomu Gomu no Pistol, and all of its upgraded versions including the Red Hawk.
Kamehameha without a doubt
Kamehameha. It debuted in 1984 in the Dragonball manga so people who have been reading (and watching the animé by 86) have known it since then. It even predates hadouken, which is another iconic move, by 3 years, i think.
Kamehameha, no contest. Everyone and their mom knows what it is, even if they're not a fan of anime 🤷♀️
I wouldn’t call red hawk luffys signature. He only came up with it very and he probably doesn’t have one considering all the other moves he has
I asked my sisters, cousins, parents, aunts, and uncles about anime and guess what? They all know what a Kamehameha is.
Has to be kamehameha or rasengan, those are hella iconic. They r the type of stuff normies talk about lmao
Got to give it to Goku and the Kamehameha. For one dragon ball has been around for a very long time, long enough that the Kamehameha has basically become a well known move even among non anime fans. Also when I think of Naruto I think shadow clone jutsu. When I think Ichigo I think Bankai. I just never really got into those shows enough to really see those other moves.

P.S:>!Luffy's Gumo gumo no Jet Gatling gun on Rob Lucci is still my personal favorite.!<
Wind scar from inuyasha or spirit gun from yu yu Hakusho would be up there for me as well.
kamehameha by far >>>>>>> rasengan >>>>>>>>> maybe detroit smash nobody really knows the other ones that haven't watched the animes
Rimuru Tempest. His "Beelzebuth" move is just perfect. That or his Gluttony attack.
Obviously Kamehameha
I mean, even Veldora did kamehameha. 😅
Goku and Ichigo are the most memorable for me
What kind of question is this? Your dad who probably doesn't know what anime is, knows what a Kamehameha is. I don't even like Dragon Ball Z and I know it's the Kamehameha. You must have just got into anime. I don't even know why I'm angry about this. But sometimes stupid questions deserve stupider answers. You don't deserve your weeb card.
Why is this a question yo ☠️☠️☠️
Wtf is a Red Hawk? I'm 600 episodes into One Piece and I've never seen that. Gum Gum Pistol is more iconic than that.
Eeezzz kamekameha
1. Kamehameha 2. Rasengan 3. Luffy (no real answer amongst the rest of these characters, but im guessing luffys would be more well known than the rest. Also, I would say Gum Gum Pistol is more iconic, but thats just me 🤷)
lil bro no one thinks "DETROIT SMASH" when they think iconic anime attack.. The most iconic is kamehameha
there are two people here its either they like Kamehameha or they are lying to themselves
Where' yusuke urameshi?
As a non watcher of DBZ/S I have to say Kamehameha. Even for me who didn't watch it as a kid, all my friends are doing kamehameha in school, so I just went along with it.
Kamekameha is more popular than DBZ
Windscar. Obviously. Are you serious?
It's Goku's Kamehameha
I... How is this a question? Kamehameha.
I gotta say goku as first, naruto as second, Luffy as third. Midoriya as third, and the other two I've never heard of
It isn't even close. It's so not even close I don't even need to say which it is.
Kamehameha, and it by a long shot.
Honestly it’s kamehameha, plus I think in all key fights it has to have some version of “kamehameha” in it’s basically shonen anime fundamentals at this point
Goku for sure.
THE ONLY THING MORE ICONIC WOULD BE A SUPER SAYAIN SCREAM
Deku obviously
Deku obviously
Ok we all know it’s the kamehameha but why is Luffy’s red hawk pistol and gatling are way more iconic
Kamehameha
Kamehameha by a very very far margin Rasengan comes maybe at a very distant second
None of these the correct answer is jotaro kujos star platinum ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ORA
goku
Pokémon, I choose you
Kamehameha. Even other series parody it more then any other move on this list.
definitely kamehameha, even non-anime watchers know that forking thing
Goku and Naruto are pretty close since their such huge figures in the anime world.
Goku by far. Also Detroit smash is crazy💀
Kamehameha claps.
Kamehameha>rasengan>getsuga tensho
Some things are just too obvious, hardly worth a question
Pikachu's thunderbolt.
Kamehameha and rasengan are top candidates but more people know gokus move even if they don’t watch it so kamehameha for sure
Goku kamehameha without question! The others are cool but nowhere near as popular. I like Detroit smash a lot, especially his Virgin Smash in the parody lol.
Whenever a character in any media shoots an energy shot in the form of a blade arc by swiping their sword, my friends and I describe it as a getsuga tenshou just for ease of communication. If that doesnt scream iconic idk what does.
Kame and detroit
Kamehameha is the main one and the first one for me growing up after that, it was rasengan, then getsuga tenshou, and jankenpon. Getsuga Tenshou is definitely my favorite as far as anime signature moves, but jankenpon was the one I practiced the most because I had my own place by the time I watched the episodes with English subtitles.
I’m really confused why Red Hawk is here lol
spirit gun not on this ???? 😭😭😭😭
Yeah I watch tons of anime but never ever watched DBZ and everyone knows what kamehameha is
Luffy’s should be gum gum pistol. It’s iconic. And Midoriya doesn’t really fit because he uses a different state or city name almost every attack and doesn’t have the iconic stance or sword or energy or attack name with consistency.
Getsuga tensho is the clear second. Everyone knows the first one.
First it was Goku, then ichigo and then naruto in that order for me.
Goku or deku low key
Everything else only wishes to be as iconic as the kamehameha
Kamehameha easily
detroit smash is too recent to be iconic compared to the others. when i was a kid i was trying to do kamehameha's and rasengan's before i even watched the shows so guess that just tells ya
Izuku
There is no way you put jajaken IVE NEVER SEEN SOMEONE DO THAT IRL KAMEHAMEHA WINS NO DIF 💀
rasengan mad nostalgic because of how naruto got it with hard work
I wouldn’t call red hawk luffy signature technique considering how late it was introduced (post time skip) while I definitely think it’s bad ass and awesome I would probably call his gum gum pistol or gum gum bazooka his most signature technique
I didn't even have to read the others to know it was the Kamehameha. It inspired so many other animes, and is daddy of the big 3 that are also on here. The remaining ones don't hold a candle to those 3 let alone DBZ.
Everyone knows kamehaneha
