Dragon Ball Attempting New Kamehameha World Record at San Diego

-
Are you looking to enter the Guinness Book of World Records while simultaneously showing off your love for Dragon Ball? Toei Animation is attempting to gather the largest number of DB fans in one place during the San Diego Comic-Con to break the world record for most people concurrently performing the trademark move of the franchise: The Kamehameha! Taking place on July 17th at 3:30PM at the legendary convention, Toei is hoping to get as many Dragon Ball fans at once to smash through the this record after gathering enough ki.
Toei Animation broke the news on their official, giving the details on how Dragon Ball fans attending San Diego Comic-Con can perform the trademark move, with the English voice of Goku Sean Schemmel leading the charge.

In Japanese, "Kamehameha" is translated to "Turtle Destruction Wave", which of course is a nod to Master Roshi and his affinity to the slow and steady reptile. However, Kamehameha is also the name of an ancient Hawaiian king who conquered the islands in 1810. Also translated as the "Very Lonely One" and "The One Set Apart", the original barer of the name created the Hawaiian islands during his tenure. We have to wonder if the king is more known at this point for his exploits or simply for being the namesake of this classic anime energy move.
How many people do you think it will take to break the world record for most folks performing a Kamehameha at once? Would you like to see future Dragon Ball records broken with moves like the Galick Gun, Final Flash, or Special Beam Cannon. Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on to talk all things comics, anime, and/or getting a big group of people together to break the world record for performing the Destructo Disc move!
Dragon Ball Super currently airs its English dub on Adult Swim during the Toonami programming block on Saturday evenings. It is also available to stream on Funimation and Amazon Video. The Japanese-language release of the series is complete, and available to stream on FunimationNOW and Crunchyroll. The manga has chapters that can currently be read for free thanks to Viz Media, and Dragon Ball Super: Broly is now available on Blu-ray and DVD.

Dragon Ball Z Auction Selling Classic Vegeta Family Sketch

Vegeta has developed a lot during the course of the  Dragon Ball  franchise. Originally appearing as planet smashing full of himself prince, the Saiyan has developed into a family man who still also remains a full of himself prince. Recently, an auction was created for an original piece of artwork from DB director Naotoshi Shida who depicted the Vegeta clan taking a fun, yet awkward, family photo. While two thirds of the family are from the far future with Bulma and Trunks represented by their future selves, Vegeta remains the same as usual. Vegeta's progression into a family man follows a long line of villains in the series that have turned to the side of good during their time. Majin Buu, Androids 17 and 18, Piccolo, and many more went from being full fledged villains to heroes and/or anti-heroes. Even Freeza has managed to stay on the up and up by joining Universe 7 in their fight during the Tournament of Power, though based on his actions, we don'...
