Booyah Bomb

The Booyah Bomb is a special weapon in and. It coats the user in strong armor, allowing them and their teammates to charge a ball of ink that the user can throw to attack a large area.

Appearance
When activated, the Booyah Bomb coats the user in a skin of their ink and raises them into the air. The user is given a small, swirling circle of ink with a glowing dot in the center that increases in size with every "Booyah!" signal that the user's team sends out. When it is fully charged, the user can throw the Booyah Bomb (leaving a splotch of ink under their feet), which creates a small ink sphere on its landing point. The sphere then rapidly grows and dissipates, laying down ink in a ring-filled pattern. In Splatoon 3, there is a small visual effect of ink and colored lightning where the Booyah Bomb lands before exploding.

Splatoon 2
When activated, the user temporarily rises upward and levitates above the ground, holding up a glowing ball of ink that charges up over time. Once charged, this can be thrown to make an ink explosion which is made larger as it charges up. The user and their teammates can use the "Booyah!" signal to charge up the attack faster. Teammates using this signal also slightly fill up their own special gauge. The charge takes approximately 8.5 seconds to reach its maximum power without signaling. With only the user signaling, it can be reduced to about three seconds, and less if multiple players are contributing. Equipping Special Power Up also reduces the charge time of the Booyah Bomb.

Once the user rises to the necessary height to perform the special, the user is protected by a limited-durability shield similar to Ink Armor which negates damage until it either breaks or when the special ends.

Special Power Up
Equipping Special Power Up with Booyah Bomb decreases how much charge is needed to fully charge the bomb, and it also decreases throwing time.

Trivia

 * The design and function of this weapon appear to be inspired by the Spirit Bomb from the manga and anime series Dragon Ball, created by Akira Toriyama. This is especially reflected in its ability to become stronger the more people cheer on the user. Its American and Japanese names also mirror the change from 'ball' to 'bomb' for the technique.
 * The way that the Booyah Bomb deals damage, as well as the large circle of ink that the Booyah Bomb creates when it hits inkable turf, are both very similar to the Inkstrike.
 * The Booyah Bomb was not the first special weapon to be added post-release; that title belongs to the Bubble Blower. However, unlike the Bubble Blower, the Booyah Bomb was not confirmed in the initial release by an in-game description.
 * As of Version of Splatoon 2, there are glitches involving the Booyah Bomb and Quick Super Jump, allowing the player to glitch out of bounds if they jump from one side of the map to the other. The more horizontal the jump, the better the results.
 * The Booyah Bomb was shown in the Version trailer, but neither the Kensa Splattershot Pro nor the Kensa Dynamo Roller was made available until Version.
 * In Splatoon 2, the weapon with the smallest special gauge for Booyah Bomb is the Kensa Dynamo Roller at 180p, while the largest is the Kensa Splattershot Pro at 210p.
 * In Splatoon 2, there are no chargers, blasters, brushes, sloshers, dualies or brellas that have the Booyah Bomb as their special weapon, nor is it paired with Suction Bombs, Curling Bombs, Autobombs, Ink Mines, Toxic Mist, Squid Beakons, Fizzy Bombs or Torpedoes.
 * In Splatoon 3, so far there are no rollers, chargers, brellas, brushes, stringers or splatanas that have Booyah Bomb as their special weapon, nor is it paired with Splat Bombs, Curling Bombs, Ink Mines, Toxic Mist, Point Sensors, Squid Beakons, Torpedoes or Angle Shooter.
 * The Booyah Bomb and Ultra Stamp are the two least common special weapons in Splatoon 2, with each only appearing in five weapon sets.
 * When the player is charging up the Booyah Bomb in Salmon Run Next Wave, they can be pushed around by a moving Fish Stick.
