Alternatively,
God dammit, I can't believe I didn't think of this. Master Asia is fantastic.

Instant Kamehameha
Don't know why Goku doesn't use it more often.
It will catch anyone off guard.

One of the saddest moments in Yu Yu Hakusho is when everybody, author included, forgets about the Shotgun,
Inuyasha/Sesshomaru's Meido Zangetsuha is so overpowered in concept that you'd think they never use it. And you'd be wrong.
More like GOATotsu.
One of my favorite attacks is from One Piece, one that Whitebeard pulls off. I can't find a .gif of it, sadly.
He "grabs" the air infront of him and pulls it down, throwing the entire area into chaos.
I DID find a picture of what happens when he does it, though.
Edit: Found a .gif of the start of it.

Roy Mustang's Snaps
Simple, effective, stylish.
I have to give it to this, for the reasons you list. Plus, a lot of the examples in this thread are cool, but too many of them just rely on being massively over-the-top (often it's part of the joke, but the joke has been done ad nauseam). Mustang's blasts are comparatively restrained, but are still extremely intense, and are much more effective for it.
I can't recall, but did it ever fail to cut what it was supposed to cut? I feel like DBZ moved to enemies that could regenerate so that Krillin didn't cut everybody in half.
So good.
Really cool. I think I liked Suyin's solution to that problem a little better.
Goodbye, cranium. Simple and brutal.
Also liked her makeshift shield/armor bending move.

The king IMO is Itachi Uchiha's Izanami:

It takes a while to see the effect in the video, but it's pretty much the ultimate mind fuck that traps your mind in an endless loop in time. And he can do this on you without you even needing to see him do it, which means you don't know what to look for. The Voltekka in Tekkaman (Blade in this example) was also baller:

Maybe not the best, but it's my favourite:
Kuchiki Byakuya's Senbonzakura from Bleach. Why? Because it offers a near-perfect combination of offense and defense, looks amazingly awesome and has multiple forms.
IIRC they're millions of tiny blades that reflect light in a way that makes them appear as cherry blossoms.. or idk lol

Too bad whenever it shows up whoever's writing/animating seems to forget that it's thousands/millions of individual blades and it just gets treated as a bunch of big pink cloud-turds bashing into things.
Krillin hit Perfect Cell square in the back of the neck, and the Destructo Disk broke/fizzled out.
Krillin (or anyone else using it) can apparently punch way above their league by using it, but it has it's limits. Like, I assume if Goku or Vegeta had tossed it, Cell would've lost a head.

Gonna echo this.

Diebuster has some pretty cool moves too like the Buster Beam Slice!
there's also a lot more that I couldn't find the video right now like that ridiculous planet toss move and the micro-blackholes attacks, not to mention the whole absolute zero tennis ball of death one lol

Hell yeah.
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.
Wait a minute, that's not flashy or colorful! Sooo boring, he just makes copies of himself!
And this is why it's used so brilliantly. It's such a basic idea that Kishimoto finds new ways to exploit in every one of Naruto's fights. In a manga that got more progressively DBZ-like in ULTIMATE POWER moves, Kage Bunshin was always leveraged to do what Naruto manga fights do best: rock-paper-scissors tactical fighting. Because no one can tell the difference between a clone and the real thing, Naruto fools the very first opponent in the manga with Kage Bunshin AND the last. It's used in all of his fights to great effect and it's something that only he can do because of his vast chakra reserves (plus the Kyuubi).
It's the very definition of a good signature move, and I always enjoyed its creative use in fights.
Honorable Naruto jutsu mentions for above reasons: Henge no Jutsu, Substitution jutsu.

Yeah, its real easy to forget that its a high tier, forbidden jutsu because Naruto throws around clones all day long in the beginning using it only as a distraction or a way to overwhelm a target. It scales super well with the user's ability and never falls off. That memory transfer feature is pretty much what makes it an insanely powerful technique combined with someone who has a lot of chakra reserves.
