The Blade of Ultimate Power is recurring sword skill in the series. It is a single target slash charged with non-elemental energy that deals incredible damage for a high MP cost.
The skill was exclusive to VII until reappearing in 2016 for the second entry in the Heroes spin off series, and has since been integrated into several titles.
Appearances
Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride
Remakes of the game will have Conkuistador attempting to cast the spell, but failing due to low MP.
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past
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.
The Mighty Pip, nun knights, and kernel colonels also try using it in battle, but only the latter ever succeeds.
