Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]
B.U.P. in the PSX version can be learned by any character who reaches rank 8 of the Champion vocation. It will deal 600~700 damage, minus the foe's defence value, for 20 MP.
In the 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 while using the skill on a Drakulard, she can deal up to 900 damage.
Nut knights, The Mighty Pip, and Kernel colonels also try using it in battle, but only the latter ever succeeds.
