Big Banga (Big Banger when spoken aloud) is a recurring ability in the franchise. It's elemental nature varies between titles, but it is always a skill of prodigious strength when used.

Appearances

Dragon Quest VI

Big Banga is learned by Mercury at level 14. The only other way to obtain this spell is by mastering the Liquid Metal Slime vocation. It deals 300~400 fire breath damage, and cremates all foes for 30 MP.

Dragon Quest VIII

Yangus can use Big Banga as a scythe technique after allocating 100 skill points into the associated skill tree. It's strength is dependent on Yangus' level: prior to level 55, it will deal 175~225 Frizz damage to all enemies. Once the brazen bandit surpasses the benchmark, the skill will deal 300~400 damage. Both parameter sets require 30 MP to be used, and are affected by Yangus' tension level.

Dragon Quest IX

Big Banga can be used by any character that has the "Hardcore Hammering" (quest #82) item in their inventory. The skill is of the Darkness element this time around, and will deal 240~360 fixed damage when used. It costs only 16 MP to use this time, and will affect all enemies.

Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below

Big Banga is Nera's coup de grace.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2

Etymology

When Plus-Alpha localized DQVIII, the skill was given a curious vowel ending. This is reflective of the Cockney accent that Yangus speaks with in the western localization, and the change has stuck ever since.
