Although it has been a month since Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3's conclusion, players still remember it fondly. The season was no less than a revival of Epic's Battle Royale. Impressive collaborations with Lucas Films, Naruto, and Dragon Ball established it as one of the best seasons till date.

The Fortnite x Dragon Ball collaboration introduced new mythics like Kamehameha and Kintoun. While players were running about beaming at their opponents, one player used Goku's signature attack on an entire Battle bus and won a Victory Royale in a matter of seconds, or at least this is what the viral video depicts.

Sadly, the viral Kamehameha elimination clip was doctored. It is a compound clip of many staged clips, ingeniously weaved together to render the effect of obliterating an entire Battle Bus. In the words of the clip's creator, it is fake.

Back in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3, a clip started gaining traction on TikTok. In the clip, a player used Kamehameha on the spawn island and timed it just right to eliminate everybody on board, winning a Victory Royale within the first few seconds of the match.

Posted by the popular content creator Aid, the video soon went viral and garnered over 20,000,000 views and 2,500,000 likes within the first 48 hours. It was later posted on other social media platforms and was soon picked up by many news and esports websites.

Once the hype around the video had simmered down, the YouTuber took it upon himself to share with the community how he went about creating the most viral Fortnite clip of Chapter 3 Season 3. While it is doctored, the clip does represent the creativity and resourcefulness of the creator and perhaps the gullibility of the average content consumer.

Aid has shared an interesting video enumerating the steps behind the making of his viral clip. The video illustrates his sheer genius and also paints the complex processes that go into making a video, which can pander to a specific vertical and its consumers. Here is a succinct breakdown of the video:

The video was then posted on TikTok, and with the help of some other famous creators, Aid was able to expedite the process.
