Trivia

• This move seems to be based on the Hadōken (Japanese for "wave motion fist") from the Street Fighter series, both typically being blue spheres of energy and even having similar names in Japanese.
  • When Lucario performs this move, it does so using a similar striking pose to that of the characters from Street Fighter when they are performing the Hadōken.
