darn my fav Rurouni Kenshin move is the simpler Ryuu Tsui Sen. Head wacks are much more enjoyable than that Battou-jutsu supermove.

Aaaah Rasengan is so lame though, if I had to pick a Naruto technique it'd have to be Gatsuga. Spiraling body missiles are super hype.

I'm a fan of Supreme Thunder myself.

I'm not sure how far into the series you've seen, but before I stopped, it was pretty wicked. He'd but his wind chakra into it, making it look like a huge sphere with blades, and he could throw it with control. And when it made contact, it'd split up into a bunch of needles and start ripping the target apart. Pretty wicked indeed.

Not a surprise. Luffy uses various moves, and I myself don't consider any of them charismatic. Perhaps he will get one in the New World, who knows...
As for Goku - in modern times, he's what we'd call a spammer. A kamehameha spammer. Good thing social networks didn't exist back then, otherwise he'd be sending kamehameha spams to everybody.

Rasengan itself became lame and used frequently as a mere punch. What you're thinking of is probably Rasenshuriken.

Smile Funny how DB Kame'd everything else away.. that's a fairly huge difference. They should have put Vegeta's Final Flash in there, see how that faired.

Agreed. Spiral body missiles have been done so many times, it's really lost it's originality.

But I am Kamehame-ha was voted number one. I don't get to say this often enough (if ever at all these days) but this is one of the very few attacks that is not only classic, but is also exceptionally original.

There are a lot of good shows on that list, but it makes me happy to see the Kamehameha beat the others by a long shot.

I was indeed referring to the Rasenshuriken...which is just the Rasengan with wind chakra. So, really, the Rasengan did become more powerful. It's like how the Erupting Burning Finger Sekiha Love Love Tenkyoken is just the Burning Finger, but with two people. It's more powerful, but not really a new move by itself.
