So we all know that the main hero of an anime always has an ace up its sleeve. Whether it's a secret strategy or hidden ally. But in this case it's an incredible move they learned in some training montage or something that completely destroys an opponent entirely. So GAF, I ask you, what are some of the best ultimate attacks in Anime? Also prepare for spoilers

I'm going to go ahead and say consecutive normal punches from One Punch man. Talk about deadly.

Pain Packer: Rising Sun

Loved this attack from Feitan in Hunter X Hunter. Just totally blew my mind with the sheer extent of what was fucking possible with Nen abilities. This is a counter-attack, that can only be triggered by rage. Whatever dmg Feitan has taken from his opponent, he delivers back several fold with Pain Packer. The only Pain Packer we've seen was said to be weak because he only got his arm broke. Also, dude made a fucking miniature sun! Probably my favorite counter-attack ever.

Mantama from episode 256 of Gintama.

Spoiler

To teach the antagonist a lesson about how it feels to have the whole context of your existence removed, to have your status as the "main character" revoked and destroy the connections of everything you hold dear, reality is altered by the protagonist into a completely different anime (Mantama) within the anime (Gintama). In that anime, a romcom, the antagonist is completely unaware as the romantic comedy's protagonist and Gintama's actual protagonist takes the guise of the fake show's heroine. The good guy then eventually removes his disguise, destroying the dream of being the protagonist of his own reality the antagonist desperately wanted.

Rock Lee's drunken fist because it was so left field in just about every way, yet still managed to be just as cool as his first battle.

Yep, the final Dempsey roll sequence in the original Hajime no Ippo is amazing.

Kamehameha of course. Technically it's an attack since it only happened once but Gohan's one-handed Kamehameha still brings out the excited kid in me whenever I watch it.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Rock Lee's drunken fist because it was so left field in just about every way, yet still managed to be just as cool as his first battle.

Lee was such a high point of the Naruto they just never recovered from it from the original series; funny since he completely stole the enduring underdog appeal completely from the title character Naruto, especially after they confirmed Naruto's lineage; man, the author really lost the plot in the 2nd series.

The move was named after Jack Dempsey, real life boxer. A lot of boxers have adapted it into their own moves over time, like Tyson notably.
