Pretty much the title.

If you had to make a Kamehameha, something like this - Click Me! [www.youtube.com] ... how would you tackle it?

Would love to hear in which direction the efforts should be focused.

It's pretty clear to me that is a smoke simulation. Emit density and velocity and you'll have a good start.

Wait so... it has nothing to do with Particles?

I'm new to Houdini, so wondering how it all connects.

Well yeah, I can see some particles being emitted downwards from the smoke.

Particles for the secondary effect, the main I agree appear smoke, just imagine it without any kind of light/emission, and a grey/brownish color, it would resemble a directional smoke plume.
