A godly Kamehameha variant used by Goku in his Ultra Instinct Sign form, powerful enough to challenge the strongest fighters in the Tournament of Power.
The Divine Kamehameha channels the power of Ultra Instinct Sign through the classic Kamehameha formation, producing a beam that surpasses even the God Kamehameha in raw output. What truly sets it apart is the instinctive adaptability that Ultra Instinct provides. Goku can reshape the energy mid-flight, converting the beam into a defensive shield if an opponent's counter proves too strong to clash with directly, or compressing it into a sphere to ride along an enemy's blast and close distance.
This flexibility makes the Divine Kamehameha less a single technique and more a platform for improvisation. Ultra Instinct's autonomous nature means Goku's body adjusts the attack in real time without conscious thought, responding to threats faster than deliberate action would allow.
The Divine Kamehameha's defining moment comes during the Tournament of Power when Goku faces Kefla, the Potara fusion of Caulifla and Kale. Kefla unleashes her Gigantic Burst, a massive energy wave that Goku appears unable to dodge in midair. Rather than trying to overpower the blast, Goku flips in the air and slides his Kamehameha energy sphere along the surface of Kefla's own beam, effectively surfing on her attack to close the gap.
Upon reaching point-blank range, Goku releases the Divine Kamehameha directly into Kefla's face, blasting her off the arena stage with enough force to shatter her Potara earrings and defuse the fusion. The elimination of both Caulifla and Kale simultaneously is one of the Tournament of Power's most spectacular moments, made possible by Ultra Instinct's ability to find solutions that no conscious mind would conceive.
Goku also fires the Divine Kamehameha at Jiren during their battle, though Jiren's concentrated Power Impact neutralizes the beam. Goku's instincts convert the remaining energy into a defensive shield that absorbs the reflected blast, demonstrating the technique's adaptive nature even in failure.
In the Dragon Ball Super manga, True Ultra Instinct Goku pushes the technique even further during his fight with Gas, firing the Divine Kamehameha from his mouth rather than his hands. This hands-free variant allows Goku to maintain a fighting stance while firing, removing the vulnerability of the traditional Kamehameha charge pose. The technique represents the culmination of everything the Kamehameha has evolved into: from a simple beam Roshi invented to a godly attack that reshapes itself through pure instinct.
