Reverse Kamehameha (逆かめはめ波 Gyaku Kamehameha, lit. "Inverter Kamehame Wave")[4] is a propellant variation of the Kamehameha.

Overview[]

The user fires a Kamehameha directly at the ground, propelling them up through the air in a jet-like manner. The technique is mainly used as a way to change directions quickly, remain airborne longer, or to fly through the air quickly, all of which apply for non-fliers.
