—Description from Ultimate's Move List |
Gigaslash (ギガスラッシュ, Gigaslash) is Hero's Final Smash.
Overview
In this Final Smash, the Hero slashes upwards, before the remaining non-playable Dragon Quest Heroes (in order of appearance, the Heroes from II, V, VI, VII, X, IX, and I) appear, and gather their weapons together, shooting energy upwards into the air, with the energy charging the playable Hero's sword, who then attacks with an outwards slash.
Origin
Gigaslash is a powerful, recurring ability in the Dragon Quest series, first seen in Dragon Quest V. Despite its name suggesting a physical attack, the move is a magical attack; it deals immense Zap damage on a single group of enemies. The heroes summoning lightning also resembles Kazapple, a magic spell that draws MP from the entire party to activate.
Trivia
- The Hero from Dragon Quest V is the only Hero that is not depicted wielding a sword. He instead wields a staff.
- Gigaslash is the second Final Smash to incorporate a pre-rendered cinematic, after Joker's All-Out Attack.
- The art assets used for said cinematic appear to be recycled from Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road Victory.
- Gigaslash is one of five Final Smashes that removes the damage percentages during its duration, the other four being Triple Finish, Team Star Fox, Team Star Wolf, and All-Out Attack.
- Much like Triple Finish and All-Out Attack, the damage percentages are removed for the entire duration of the Final Smash, even upon start up.
