@UnrelatedString seems you are kinda right. It is named after the king bug only because Toriyama wife suggested that name while he was looking for something that had "Kame" in it (-> turtle in Japanese)

> For the Kamehameha, I thought I’d see if I could express “ki” energy, which can’t be seen with the naked eye, in a boys’ magazine sort of way. When no one was around, I did a variety of poses, and decided on one that looked cool, which was that pose. Incidentally, for the name “Kamehameha”, I was wondering whether there was a decent name along the lines of “something-something-Ha”, when my wife said as a joke, “Kamehameha would be fine, wouldn’t it?” so I used it as-is. Of course, it’s taken from King Kamehameha of Hawaii.

there is also another interview that points out the "turtle" thing, will get that too if I can find it again.

ahh, neat

i think that's the quote i remember but had no idea it happened because of turtles

SPArcheon

Another trivia.

Memor-X

@SPArcheon makes sense also given Goku learned it from Roshi who's the Turtle Hermit

SPArcheon

@Memor-X yep, literally means "Turtle (style) destructive wave"

Memor-X

@SPArcheon yeh, how the Kamehameha was used to heal Goku

@Memor-X "I absorbed the genkidama and that pushed me past my limits to go ultra final super giga supreme mastered istinct +1 of the zodiac"

It is not like Super doesn't manage to be silly all the same...

anyway, can I ruin your day?

Memor-X

@SPArcheon you're attempts so far are generally just amusing rather than ruining

is it more Puella Magi Pony Magica?

SPArcheon

@Memor-X nope, some forbidden knowledge that will haunt you.

Evolution.. it is not the first attempt.

This at least tries to be loyal to the source.. but it kinda proof that some things simply do no translate to live action.

Memor-X

Q: What makes FLCL special with the way it stages its composition to create a dramatic effect?

Throughout the entire series, we see the way FLCL creates a scene that is invigorates a variety of emotions from the use of closeup shots and a distorted scope - to deliver an emotion of uncertainty; fear.
