Appearances
Dragon Quest VII
B.U.P. in the 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 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. Further more, 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.
Dragon Quest Heroes II
B.U.P. returns after a long absence as Cesar's Coup-de-Grace ability.
Etymology
Ultima is derived from the Ultima series of computer RPGs, of which Yuji Horii is a fan of and took inspiration from when developing the original Dragon Quest.
