In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Kame-Hame-Ha !” is an epic card of the Memes FR pack, number 3017 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3507 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Kame-Hame-Ha !” meme mean?

The image expresses humor derived from taking something fictional or out-of-place seriously within a formal context. It highlights the absurdity of treating obviously imaginary elements as if they were official facts. It also serves as an ironic reference to Dragon Ball’s legendary technique, recalling Goku’s famous power blast.

Where does the “Kame-Hame-Ha !” meme come from?

The meme originates from a segment of the M6 7:45 PM news broadcast on April 4, 2013. The French channel aired a clip from *Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods*. A video titled *DRAGONBALL - KAMEHAMEHA “MEME” vu par le JT de M6 - 4 Avril 2013* later circulated on YouTube. The journalist’s name and exact words remain unknown. The sequence went viral due to the contrast between the anchor’s serious tone and the anime’s fantastical content. 'Kame-Hame-Ha' is a fictional attack created by Akira Toriyama for *Dragon Ball* in 1984. Goku learns it after observing Master Roshi use it. In the series, it involves concentrating energy between the hands and projecting it at an opponent, often translated as 'Turtle Hermit Wave'. The media reuse of this cry transformed the scene into a lasting humorous reference.
