About this sound

The charging and release sound of Goku's Genki Dama Spirit Bomb from Dragon Ball, used for power-up moments, dramatic reveals and anime edits.

This clip captures the rising energy of the Genki Dama, the Spirit Bomb from Dragon Ball, as power gathers from around the world into a glowing sphere above Goku's hands. It builds with a swelling, crackling hum that grows louder and more intense, then peaks in a bright, forceful release that feels huge and unstoppable. Listeners instantly recognise the tension of a final attack being charged, which makes the sound perfect for moments when a character, joke or reveal needs to feel larger than life and ready to land.

The Genki Dama, known in English as the Spirit Bomb, is one of Goku's signature techniques in Dragon Ball, where he gathers energy from living things to form a massive sphere of power. The charging sound has become closely linked with that slow, dramatic build-up in the anime, and fans have reused it in edits, memes and gaming videos to signal an overwhelming attack. Its recognisable rise and release keep it popular because it instantly tells viewers something powerful is about to happen.
