Ki in DBZ

This is something that has been on my mind for a really long time. When the fighters charge up their Ki or send out powerful Ki attacks, are they invisible? Are the bright lights we see just to help us "see" what the fighters sense coming their way? Im genuinely confused. Do the fighters actually send out colored beams or is it just invisible "force".

Light is the aftermath of high energy release.
And in this case, high energy is Ki. Ki is invisible, therefore formless.
It is pure energy. Light just emits from it when it is manipulated into being compressed before a Ki blast.

Question: What did you fret over when thinking up techniques like the Kamehameha and their poses?

Answer: Techniques that are plain but effective aren't suited for manga. Stuff like strangleholds and locking techniques are troublesome to draw and hard to make very flashy. Even the Kamehameha is a technique that expels "ki", which by nature is invisible, but I was able to make it flashy by hitting upon the idea of portraying it as something that could be seen with the naked eye. With that pose too, I tried out a lot of different ones. What's more, I had to think up special characteristics for each character's techniques, but I ran out of patterns really fast, so it was tough (laughs).

Just for additional verification ProGo, this was from The Super Exciting Guide:

How did you come up with the Kamehameha?

AT: For the Kamehameha, I thought I'd see if I could express "ki" energy, which can't be seen with the naked eye, in a boys' magazine sort of way. When no one was around, I did a variety of poses, and decided on one that looked cool, which was that pose. Incidentally, for the name "Kamehameha", I was wondering whether there was a decent name along the lines of "something-something-Ha", when my wife said as a joke, "Kamehameha would be fine, wouldn't it?" so I used it as-is. Of course, it's taken from King Kamehameha of Hawaii. I get asked if I look at a lot of martial arts to get hints for techniques or poses; while I have watched a lot of Kung-Fu movies, surprisingly enough, I didn't have all that much interest in the martial arts themselves.
