Makankosappo (Special Beam Cannon) and Hadokening are viral photography trends that originated in Japan around early 2013, primarily among high school students. The trend involves one person posing as if they are unleashing a powerful energy blast, while others in the frame jump backward as if they were physically struck by the shockwave. Drawing inspiration from iconic anime and video games like Dragon Ball and Street Fighter, the trend quickly spread globally across social media platforms. It serves as a creative way to depict overwhelming power or 'main character energy,' capturing dynamic, gravity-defying moments that are both humorous and visually striking for online audiences.
