He might not have invented the move, but the Kamehameha is Goku's strongest and most recognizable technique. It didn't take long for Goku to learn the Turtle School's signature attack, with him mimicking Master Roshi pretty easily as a kid. Ever since then, Goku has relied heavily on the Kamehameha, using it in nearly every battle he's fought.
Over the years, Goku has developed the technique, creating multiple variations that he's used against some of the strongest opponents in the series. Some are stronger than others, and with Goku obtaining new transformations that push him past his limits, he's able to make use of stronger, more effective Kamehamehas.
Dragon Ball: The 8 Strongest Techniques in the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga
These characters are going to be the strongest in the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga anime.
Limitbreaker Kamehameha
The Super Kamehameha was once one of the strongest and most used in the series, with Goku and other characters like Gohan and Cell using it to great effect. The Limitbreaker Kamehameha is a much stronger variation of it that takes the iconic move to the next level.
Goku uses the technique while in his Super Saiyan God form. It looks just like a regular Kamehameha, but with way more power behind it. Goku uses the move against Beerus, using it to destroy the Beerus Ball in the manga and the Multi Sphere of Destruction in the anime.
Full Power Kamehameha
The Full Power Kamehameha is a combination of two different Kamehameha variations, the God Kamehameha and Burst Kamehameha. Goku uses the technique while in his Super Saiyan Blue form.
In order to execute the Full Power Kamehameha, Goku first launches his God Kamehameha, followed by another powerful energy blast as part of the same energy wave. The move takes a great toll on Goku, but it's an overwhelming attack for anyone on the other end of it.
Transcendent Power Kamehameha
DAIAMA was a fun series, but what fans will most remember it for is that it finally brought Super Saiyan 4 into the canon universe. Of course, with the new transformation came a new, powerful iteration of Goku's go-to finisher.
The Transcendent Power Kamehameha is similar to most other Kamehamehas in how it's charged up and fired. It does look a little different than a lot of the other variations, with a beautiful red streak accompanying the usual blue aura. It's also incredibly powerful, strong enough to punch through the ceiling of the First Demon World and go in through the Second.
10x God Kamehameha
Goku always gets the most out of his techniques when he mixes them with the Kaio-ken. While you might think that by the time he reaches Super Saiyan Blue, there'd be no need to use the Kai power-up, Goku's Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-ken form manages to help him push beyond and improve upon one of his strongest transformations in a significant way.
The 10x God Kamehameha gets the most out of Blue and the Kaio-ken, with the power of a normal God Kamehameha being multiplied tenfold and dealing a massive amount of damage to its target. It's an incredibly powerful move, but comes at the cost of using up a ton of Goku's energy.
Transcendent God Kamehameha
One of the Kamehamehas Goku uses while in Super Saiyan Blue, the Transcendent God Kamehameha is probably the strongest version of the move Goku uses in this form. It's a stronger version of the God Kamehameha, taking advantage of Goku's massive power boost while in Super Saiyan Blue.
Goku uses this move against Broly during his and Vegeta's clash against the Saiyan berserker. He fires it off alongside Vegeta's Super Galick Gun, and though the combined blasts would've been enough to take out most opponents, Broly manages to survive the hit and keep pushing them.
Beyond God Instant Kamehameha
An incredibly powerful technique, the Beyond God Instant Kamehameha doesn't appear in any mainline series. Instead, it's a move Goku uses in the Super Dragon Ball Heroes manga.
The move is an iteration of the God Kamehameha that Goku uses while in Ultra Instinct Sign. Goku combines his Instant Transmission technique with a stronger version of the God Kamehameha, teleporting around his enemy, surrounding them, and making it hard for them to block or counter the attack.
Divine Kamehameha
One of Goku's strongest Kamehamehas, the Divine Kamehameha might be the most versatile version of the technique. It's way stronger than the God Kamehameha, with it being able to take down even the strongest opponents.
Goku has used the technique in some pretty interesting ways. In the anime, he used it to surf on Kefla's Gigantic Burst, using it as both an offensive and defensive technique. It's the only Kamehameha Goku's used as a Mouth Energy Wave, with him firing it at gas from his mouth during the Granolah the Survivor Saga.
Supreme Kamehameha
The Supreme Kamehameha is an even stronger version of the Divine Kamehameha. While both stand as some of the strongest we've seen in the series, the latter makes better use of Goku's Ultra Instinct Sign and Perfected Ultra Instinct forms.
It looks like a normal Kamehameha, but there's way more power behind it — more than Goku's ever been able to muster for any previous Kamehameha iteration before. Goku used the technique against Jiren, with his anger powering the move to the point that he was able to deal major damage to the Pride Trooper.
