Appearances
Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride
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.
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. 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.
