In recent years, it’s become common for anime figures to come with what’re called “effect pieces.” These little add-ons attach to the character’s fists, arms, or other body parts, adding the motion blurs, flames, or ki energy auras that make their fighting moves look so cool on-screen.
Sure, sometimes it can be a little depressing to look at Ryu’s hadoken or Goku’s kamehameha energy blast and realize it’s just a piece a piece of plastic. But hey, what choice do you have, other than effect pieces?
How about an awesome hologram projection to make you Dragon Ball Z figure’s attack look as real as possible?
Without further ado, Goku, show us what you’ve got!
Standing in the center of either a holographic projection chamber or a pyramid-shaped cell (perhaps even designed by Cell, the evil bio-android with whom Goku has faced off before), we see Goku start gathering his ki like a fired-up RocketNews24 reporter. As his power level soars, his fighting spirit bursts into flames!
And hey, if you’re on fire, why stop at just one color?
This amazingly convincing kamehameha video comes courtesy of ZW Design, a technology and software development firm located in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. And while that’s a pretty cool job, we can’t help feeling a little disappointed that they are, in fact, not a monastery of superpowered martial artists from beyond our solar system.

Great work, guys. Much more of this, please!
