One-Hit Kill: Difference between revisions

== Anime & Manga ==

** The Administration Bureau's ultimate weapon, the Arc-en-Ciel, is also a One-Hit Kill by its very nature. Though it looks like a [[Wave Motion Gun]], what it actually does is twist space-time around its target, seal everything within a hundred-kilometer radius into a pocket universe, then allow said pocket universe to Big Crunch itself. The weapon is far more deadly used on planets than in space, due to the vacuum effect that so much suddenly vanished air/land would leave behind.

* ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'''s eponymous school of martial arts. You don't get much more of an instant kill than "[[Your Head Asplode|make the other guy's head explode]]"—and that's just one of the simplest techniques...

* In ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', Kuwabara does this to Risho in the Dark Tournament arc, due to a huge powerup when [[The Power of Love|Yukina arrived]]. Granted, it was actually two attacks (the first to destroy Risho's Armor of Clay, and the second to launch him across the stadium), but he did them in such quick succession it technically counts as one.

** The manga played it straight: Kuwabara simply [[Megaton Punch]]ed Risho, sending him flying and destroying the Armor of Clay at the same time.

* In ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]'', [[The Dragon|Akuha Shuzen]] of Fairy Tale has this ability. Using a magical technique which 'delays her existence by a second' every one of her attacks can just cut through people like paper, taking them apart by basically ''cutting the reality they're standing in''. Three people so far have shown resistance to this attack method, and two of those do it by blocking it with the same technique.

* Ichika's [[Infinite Stratos]] is capable of only this, its ability basically amounting to "rush in to disable the opponent."
