Puff-Puff

Puff-Puff Japanese ぱふぱふ Rōmaji Pafu-pafu Type Special

The Puff-Puff is a sacred technique bestowed upon mortal-kind by the Goddess on High. Originating in Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga, the act refers to...well, you're bright enough to figure it out.

Outside of humorous scenes, the term also refers to a reoccurring skill used by the silly and the sexy. If used by a female character, it may distract an opponent for a few turns. If used by a male character it will cause strike-based damage based on his level, with the calculation being {LvL+1~8} for a cap of 51~58.

Appearances in Battle

Dragon Quest III

The Puff-Puff appears as one of the random actions a Gadabout can perform in the remakes. For female clowns it functions similarly to the rest of the series, but for men it will deal 25% of a normal attack's damage.

Dragon Quest VI

Puff-Puff is learned by advancing to rank 4 of the Gadabout vocation. For female characters, it incapacitates an enemy for 1~3 turns if successful, while as for male characters it will deal damage, being the user's level divided by 8 rounded up.

Dragon Quest VII

Learned the same way as in VI

Dragon Quest VIII

Jessica can put her feminine assets to use after investing 38 points into her Sex Appeal skill tree. It will attempt to stun a monster for 1~3 turns as usual.

Note: some enemies will attempt to immobilize the protagonists with this technique, but it will always fail when used on Jessica. As the game puts it, she wins the battle of the bulge.

• In the 3DS remake, the same applies to Red.
