Kerplunk Dance is a ritual dance that sacrifices the user to revive other party members.
It costs no MP to perform and will restore everyone to 100% HP, making it more useful than Kerplunk itself... if it works! Kerplunk Dance is free but it can sometimes fail, leaving the party wiped out if the member using Kerplunk Dance was the only one left alive. Kerplunk itself, however, will never fail when cast unless the character has been Fizzled.
Appearances[edit]

Kerplunk Dance is learned by advancing to rank 4 of the Luminary vocation.
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]
In the PSX version Kerplunk Dance is the only hybrid skill for advanced vocations, requiring the character to reach rank 5 in the Luminary and Sage professions to unlock it. It behaves exactly as it did in the previous game. Kerplunk Dance is much easier to obtain in the Nintendo 3DS remake, simply requiring characters to reach rank 7 as a Luminary or rank 1 as a Druid. Revived allies are now restored to only 50% of their max HP instead of 100%
It can be used by the enemies healium balloons and discombombulators.
