Does Japanese have intensifiers? Words like "This is a hella good dinner", "Holy shit, it's ugly", "I saw that damn cat again"

Currently, the two primary ones for intensifying something are totemo which is standard Japanese and metcha which is slang and a lot closer to “hella” or “lit”. You use these before the thing you’re describing in a sentence. As for other exclamation words, all I can think of is yabbai which is a general catch all that can mean good or bad things. It’s very multipurpose and can range from meaning “crap” to “yikes” or “woah”
