'''Big Banga''' (''Big Banger'' when spoken aloud) is a recurring ability in the franchise. It's elemental nature varies between titles, but it is always a skill of prodigious strength when used.

Big Banga is learned by [[Mercury]] at level 14. The only other way to obtain this spell is by mastering the [[Liquid Metal Slime (Class)|Liquid Metal Slime]] vocation. It deals 300~400 fire breath damage, and cremates all foes for 30 MP.

In the original PSX version of ''VII'' only characters that master the [[Platinum king jewel (Vocation)|Platinum King Jewel]] vocation will learn the skill. It has the same damage range, cost, and element as in ''VI''.

*In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, reaching rank 7 of the [[Druid]] and rank 6 of the [[Hero (Class)|Hero]] vocations will also unlock the skill.

[[Yangus]] can use Big Banga as a scythe technique after allocating 100 skill points into the associated skill tree. It's strength is dependent on Yangus' level: prior to level 55, it will deal 175~225 Frizz damage to all enemies. Once the brazen bandit surpasses the benchmark, the skill will deal 300~400 damage. Both parameter sets require 30 MP to be used, and are affected by Yangus' tension level.

Big Banga can be used by any character that has the [[Skill Manuals|Hardcore Hammering]] (quest #82) item in their inventory. The skill is of the Darkness element this time around, and will deal 240~360 fixed damage when used. It costs only 16 MP to use this time, and will affect all enemies.

This skill can only be learned by the Hero when his power awakens. It is locked behind a hidden panel in the Luminary skill set and costs 16 skill points to unlock. The skill will deal a maximum of 330 fire attribute damage on a group of enemies and costs 24 MP to use. The [[Restless Knight]] and [[King of Metal king slimes]] will also use it against the Luminary.

Called BigBang in this game, it requires the monster to reach level 36 with 196 HP, 196 MP and 208 intelligence. It is naturally learned by [[DeathMore]], [[DeathMore]] (Final form), [[Divinegon]], [[Balhib | GoldGolem]], [[GoldSlime]] and [[Zoma]]. It can also be learned by monsters knowing [[Explodet]], [[WhiteFire]] and [[WhiteAir]].

BigBang now requires 612 intelligence to learn. It is naturally learned by [[PsychoPiz]].
