かめはめ波

Market outlook

Stable Outlook 6/10

The card’s value is stabilized by consistent demand from anime collectors and its role as a iconicattack. However, high supply limits upward price movement [2] [5].

Next months. Next 3-6 months: Prices will remain stable with minor fluctuations based on seasonal sales and collector activity.

Long term. 1-3 years: Slight appreciation possible if Dragon Ball franchise gains renewed global popularity, but unlikely to exceed $15 for standard copies without major grading scandals.

History

FS01-15 'かめはめ波' is not a playable character but represents the iconic energy attack 'Kamehameha' used by Son Goku in the Dragon Ball franchise. The attack was created by Master Roshi (学校先生) and is the symbol of Goku's Saiyan heritage and martial arts mastery [1] [6].

This card was first released in 2024 as part of the 'Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World Starter Deck: Son Goku' (FS01), specifically in the Japanese market [1] [3].

• The card features an Alternate Art variant from the Bonus Pack, making it distinct from the standard Starter Deck version [3].
• It has a powerful activation skill: 'Startup Combat' that boosts your red leader or battle card by +15000 power and reduces opponent's power by -5000 [1].
• The card is classified as a Common (C) rarity but is a featured card in the Son Goku starter deck, giving it high visibility [1] [6].

Collector notes

Condition. Check for edge wear, corner creases, and surface scratches. As a Common from a starter deck, it is prone to handling damage during deck building. The Alternate Art version may have slight gloss variations on the artwork [3] [7].

Storage. Store in a rigid top loader or card sleeve within a protective box. Avoid humidity exposure and keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the red artwork and gold text [7] [8].

Authenticity. Authentic copies have precise Japanese text alignment and correct holographic patterns on gold-text variants. Fakes often show blurred text, incorrect font weights, or missing color gradients on the red background [4] [9].
