The '''Blade of Ultimate Power''' is recurring sword skill in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|series]]. It is a single target slash charged with non-elemental energy.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ5}}===
Though no party member can use the spell, remakes of the game have enemy [[Conkuistador]]'s occasionally attempting to cast it despite lacking the {{MP}} for it.

==={{DQ7}}===
B.U.P. in the [[Sony PlayStation|PSX]] version can be learned by any character who reaches rank 8 of the [[Champion]]. It will deal 600~700 damage, minus the foe's defence value, for 20 {{MP}}.

In the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] and subsequent mobile device ports, B.U.P. takes on different properties; it now deals 500~600 damage that ignores defence and any other damage reduction factors such as [[Defending Champion]]. '''This means the skill works on members of the metal slime family'''.
Furthermore, the damage will increase by 50% if the practitioner is equipped with a weapon that's more effective against the target's monster family. For example, if [[Aishe]] is equipped with a [[Dragonsbane]], she can deal up to '''900''' damage.

==={{DQ11}}===
The {{Hero 11}} will learn the skill for 36 points in his ''Swordmastery'' skill tree. It costs 48 {{MP}} to use, and will deal up to 680~720 non-elemental damage to one enemy. Unlike previous versions, the skill does not work on metal slimes.

===''[[Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End]]''===
B.U.P. returns after a long absence as [[Cesar]]'s [[Coup de Grâce]] ability.

==Etymology==
''Ultima'' is derived from the [http://wiki.ultimacodex.com/wiki/What_is_Ultima%3F|Ultima series] of computer RPGs, of which [[Yūji Horii]] is a fan of and took inspiration from when developing the original {{DQ}}.
