One-Hit Kill | comment |
Any time people gather with the goal of hitting each other until one of them keels over, the ultimate trump card would be a weapon, spell, technique, trick, or what-have-you that makes people fall over immediately, without all that annoying strategizing and healing and stuff. The One-Hit Kill is that trump card. Often, the One-Hit Kill isn't humble enough to just kill, instead petrifying, permanently polymorphing, or banishing its victim to the Phantom Zone. At times, it's not even content with a single target, becoming a One-Hit Polykill. Usually, the One-Hit Kill comes at a price. Sometimes it's a Dangerous Forbidden Technique which to use requires Casting From Hit Points or life span, other times it's just really hard to pull off, or leaves you wide open for a counterattack. One-Hit Kills are a common spell in RPGs. In video RPGs, it's frequently a Useless Useful Spell because of low hit rates, inability to affect bosses, a prohibitive cost required to cast it, or not rewarding the player for defeating enemies with it (such as not giving any Experience Points or item drops), if not all of the above at once.. Tabletop RPGs, by contrast, have a history of letting those pesky spellcasters make these spells insufficiently useless, turning many fights into a mere Quick Draw contest. In martial arts, it frequently takes the form of the Touch of Death. If it only works at the start of a fight, it's a Back Stab. If it only works at the end of a fight, it's a Finishing Move. If every enemy attack is a one-hit kill, the protagonist is a One-Hit-Point Wonder. If every attack by both you and the enemy is a one-hit kill, you get Rocket-Tag Gameplay. There's also a non-lethal variant of this: The One-Hit Knockout. One-Hit KOs usually don't involve anything like forbidden techniques or rare technology, just an immense amount of force applied at once, usually in the form of a punch to the face. (Bonus points if a particularly fleshy or swift and satisfying sound effect accompanies the blow.) The drawback of this is somewhat self-explanatory: It's not a kill, only a knockout. Still, it gives the user at least a solid five-minute head-start, perhaps even longer, to make an escape or thwart some evil plans before the target can recover and figure out what hit him. In certain works, this is a common reprisal when someone (accidentally or intentionally) presses someone's Berserk Button. With bladed weapons, cinematic representation of this trope often becomes a Single-Stroke Battle. When a character opens a fight with their most powerful attack in hope of a one-hit kill, the trope overlaps with Begin with a Finisher. See also Chunky Salsa Rule. Often a Death or Glory Attack. Compare Coup de Grâce. Note that if the battle is laughably brief because the attacker is much more powerful, as opposed to simply using an instant-death weapon, it's a Curb-Stomp Battle. Compare/Contrast HP to 1, where the attack is merciful enough to spare a single Hit Point. A Mook that can deliver this is an Instakill Mook. |

The Servile Enthrallment spell from Blood Sword's Enchanter will completely control any foe under its influence and don't worry about it running out of time. It'll last past the end of the fight, where the Enchanter and/or party will simply slit their enemy's throat — killing the victim regardless of how much health they have remaining | |

Sluggy Freelance: The talking sword Chaz can kill pretty much anything with a single swing. Even a scratch will suffice in most instances. The Demon King of the Dimension of Pain managed to survive getting scratched, but was still permanently crippled. The only limitation is that Chaz only has this power after bathing in the blood of the innocent. Later, 4U City's military is shown using weaponized teleporters which transport whatever they hit into Another Dimension. Not really a one-hit kill, but definitely a one-hit victory. |

In Starship Traveller, if you successfully shoot someone with a phaser — they're either dead or stunned depending on the weapon's setting. Unfortunately your enemies have the same advantage (except for one "primitive" species that uses a rocket staff — your Medical Officer has a chance of stabilizing crew that have been struck, preventing them from dying). | |

Honor Harrington delivers a One Hit KO to the Honorable Sir Reginald Houseman in Honor Of The Queen, after he demands that she pull her forces out of Yeltsin's Star, leaving the Graysons to be conquered or nuked by Masada. It worked not only because Honor is a Heavy Worlder, but that he was such an Entitled Bastard that he had no idea at all that she would dare to actually strike him. | |

A staple of Choose Your Own Adventure books are the no-escape dead ends, though gamebooks (e.g. Lone Wolf) fit the trope best with instant death if you're lacking the right skill/item or just plain unlucky — being not only accepted, but expected. In Lone Wolf, the bow and arrow, far from being just annoying, often allows a one-hit kill for the hero, if he chooses the right target and is enough of a good shot (though some monsters are utterly immune to this). Also fights can end in an instant death, if there's a sufficiently large difference between the combatant's weapon skill. The best Choose Your Own Adventures were better known for their creatively gory endings to your life than for their successful endings. Ditto Star Challenge. You and/or your robot are as common to be the one(s) on the receiving side as your enemies. |

TierZoo: The Crocodile's Death Roll was mentioned to be an instant kill in an earlier video. A later video expanded upon this — while it was a death sentence when successfully pulled off, it also required the crocodile's unbroken concentration meaning that it could be interrupted by an ally of the victim. In the Dinosaur Tier List, the sauropod's Giant Foot of Stomping was mentioned to be the most devastating attack of any animal, knocking down the target while dealing lethal crushing damage. This effectively gave them an "Instant Death" Radius and was one of the reasons why sauropods were the sole dinosaur type in the S-Tier. The Poison Dart Frog's poison was stated to be lethal enough to one-shot any attacker that hit it. The trouble is that the frog had to be attacked for this to work, and due to its tiny size, it would also be killed easily. |

Miraculous Ladybug: This is a common power among the rogues gallery, but one of the heroes' has this on his side. Cat Noir's Cataclysm power will almost instantly destroy anything he touches. As we are reminded every time he ends up Brainwashed and Crazy, this very much could include human beings. Timebreaker can absorb the time of anyone she touches, causing them to fade away from existence. The Gamer (before his upgrade) can turn people into points that he uses to level up his mecha. The Collector can seal anything or anyone in his book, as long as he's still got blank pages. Befana's candy gun turns those she views as bad into coal statues. She's not immune to her own weapon. Glaciator can turn people into statues of ice cream if they're hit by the ice cream he uses as ammo, but he refuses to attack loving couples. Style Queen's main offensive power is that she can turn anyone into a statue of golden glitter, or a pile of golden glitter if she's particularly mad. Backwarder has a non-lethal but still hopelessly debilitating variation. Anyone hit with her clock hand cane will be forced into rewinding their actions, with Backwarder absorbing their remaining forward time. Desperada can turn anyone she hits with her musical instruments or the beams they can fire into yellow smoke and a sticker on her guitar case. Party Crasher can seal anything or anyone in his disco balls, as long as there's still a blank square. Cat Blank, being a villainous version of Cat Noir, has unlimited uses of his signature Cataclysm, which have been powered up to the point he can destroy the entire Milky Way Galaxy, and this is lowballing it. Heart Hunter's female face can turn anyone who feels any kind of love into a heart, which promptly gets eaten by the male face. King Cash can turn whoever he slashes with the gold blades of his fan into golden statues. However, that ability was never seen in action. Yan Woshi can reduce anyone to a pink mist with his Eye Beams. With the exception of the wielder of the Prodigious. Mr. Pigeon got an upgrade for his 72nd akumatization. On top of controlling every pigeon in Paris, his pigeons can turn people into more pigeons under his command with just a touch. Sole Crusher can absorb anyone she kicks, stomps, steps on, or otherwise touches with the bottom of her shoes, and becomes bigger as a result. Queen Banana can turn anyone shot by her banana gun, or hit by a banana shot from the turrets of her banana-themed car, or hit by her giant gorilla companion Banana Boom Boom and the giant bananas he throws, into a certain curvy yellow fruit. Robustus (the second time around) can trap anything or anyone in a cyberspace prison using the smartphones he's hacked (and their mind-controlled holders). Wishmaker can transform and brainwash anyone into performing their childhood dream if they're hit by the energy shot from his microphone-like staff, which would unmask the heroes in the process should they be hit. Moolak's safe is equipped with lasers that can turn anyone hit into gold coin that is teleported inside the safe. Sole Destroyer's kicks and stomps can turn anyone into a high-heeled shoe that sings her praises. Gold Record's gold record turns anyone it touches (except for him) into a vinyl record that automatically plays a song that contains their deepest secrets. |

The Phantom Menace: Despite how badass and unique Darth Maul is in this film, many forget he is the only major film antagonist to be taken out (sliced in half) in one slash by Obi-Wan.

"Morganti" weapons in Dragaera all destroy the soul of the victim upon entry, making revivification impossible, and also making it impossible for the victim to travel the Paths of The Dead to the afterworld. (Assuming the victim has a means of both suiciding and entirely disassociating their soul from their body before contact — a never certain process, aside from its obvious drawbacks — they damage the corpse as an ordinary weapon of their type.)note One book has Sethra and Vlad discuss the issue, as part of a discussion about "Great Weapons" (more powerful, and almost "intelligent", versions, capped at 17 in existence). Sethra comments that if you stick a Morganti weapon into a corpse, it does nothing to a 'dead' soul, but it's still there to leave the body after three days. Vlad just comments he wasn't in the habit of testing the matter, being usually hired to use such weapons on living people... | |

Maris Stella: Like in canon, several supervillains have powers that would defeat the heroes in one hit. Thorn Reaper can turn people into flower petals with her scythe. Knockout can knock people unconscious with a single punch. Phantom💔Kamen's powers allow him to knock people unconscious with his playing cards. Queen Guillotine can turn people into dust with her flying guillotine. Shadow Glaive has the power to drain enough energy to knock a target unconscious with just a single hit. Sharkbite can destroy anything or anyone it bites and erase them from existence. On the heroes' side, the power of Liberation is a functional one-hit-kill against akumatized villains, as it can free them from the negative emotions being used to manipulate them. |

The Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique in Kill Bill is a special Pressure Point technique that once performed kills the victim once they take five steps through means of exploding their heart. Pai Mei taught this infamous technique to only one student during his lifetime: The Bride, who uses it on Bill himself at the end of Volume 2. | |

Harry Potter: The Killing Curse, Avada Kedavra, works like this. In nearly all circumstances, the only way to survive it is to not be hit. The fact that the title character survived it as a child is what made him a legend ("The Boy Who Lived") in the wizarding world. Quirrell in A Very Potter Musical all but uses the trope name when he describes it as Boring, but Practical. Direct eye contact with a basilisk will instantly kill the victim. Indirect eye contact, such as through a camera lens or a reflective surface, merely petrifies (which is reversible). In Chamber of Secrets it's revealed ghosts who make eye contact — even direct eye contact — are also petrified, since you can't exactly kill them again. The scream of a mature mandrake will instantly kill anyone who hears it. In Deathly Hallows during the final battle, the seventh year Herbology students start throwing them out the windows and right onto the Death Eaters. |

Supernatural: The Colt is a magical gun that can one-shot nearly anything in existence, even beings that would normally be considered unkillable. However, there are a few cosmically powerful creatures that it can't outright kill. Dean and Sam learn a bit too late that Lucifer is one of them. Most of the highest ranking angels enjoy doing this to anyone less powerful than them who manages to piss them off, with Lucifer being the standout example. One snap of his fingers is usually enough to turn just about anyone into a red paste. |

Tic-Tac-Dough: The "red box" "Bonus Category," which immediately allowed the contestant another turn if he/she answered a three-part question correctly. The categories were moved to other boxes after the question, and the "Bonus Category" always appeared in an adjacent box or other space that allowed him/her to set up and eventually complete a Tic-Tac-Toe. Played correctly –- and it often was – a tic-tac-toe was completed without the opponent getting a chance to play (although he/she was always invited back to play the next game). Eventually, in the interest of fair play, the category was retired, in lieu of the modified "Double-or-Nothing." | |

The inspiration for the James Bond film and video game Golden Gun, the book version in The Man with the Golden Gun is a gold-plated Colt Single Action Army firing custom solid gold bullets with silver-plating. Ballistics calculations (using lead .45 Colt bullet weights as a starting point) indicates that Scaramanga's revolver hits like a .500 S&W Magnum, which has aided his reputation for only needing one shot. | |

Marvel Universe: Heavy hitters like The Incredible Hulk and The Thing are fond of this. Thor knocks out◊ Namor with one punch in Invaders #33. One of Iron Fist's gimmicks is his◊ ability◊ to one shot foes with his signature fist. The Enchantress vs She-Hulk in Secret Wars (1984)... take a wild guess who wins◊. Magneto has gotten this many times (mainly from Wolverine◊, Colossus◊ and Cyclops◊) two clearly fatal, one just a K.O. It's perfectly justified as the Master of Magnetism is still a Squishy Wizard. Magneto in the finale of X-Men: Age of Apocalypse (where he's the closest thing this Crapsack World has to a Big Good) goes one on one with Apocalypse, who's pounding on Magneto and asks why he doesn't fight back. Magneto responds that he can't, because he's concentrating. Apocalypse doesn't even have time to wonder what Magneto means before getting ripped in half. Despite being touted as "Street-level" Spider-Man has done this a lot, likely due to Spidey having the necessary strength to knock the Hulk around. The more average or even some higher-level foes don't stand a chance when Peter Parker gets serious. Early example with Flash Thompson who made the dear mistake of challenging Peter to a boxing match, Peter tried using just a fraction of his strength to end the bout before Flash got hurt. But even a love tap from Peter sent Flash flying◊. Grey Hulk has a memorable "encounter◊" with Cosmic Spider-Man, aka getting punched into space. Some nearby kids appropriately stated that if Spidey starts pulling stunts like that, he'd better start wearing a cape. The poor T-rex◊ who meets Spidey in the Savage Land. Happens in Dark Reign where Norman Osborn, who had long since gone off the deep end, is ranting madly and gets quickly◊ silenced by his Arch-Enemy. In The Death of Spider-Man, the Human Torch does this to the Green Goblin. Keep in mind, that in this universe, the Goblin is a nigh-invincible hulking beast with the ability to throw fireballs and not a guy in a suit as he is in most media. Though this then shifts into Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu, when Goblin — who's fire-powered in the Ultimate universe — comes back from this bigger and stronger than ever, allowing him to fulfil the name of the arc. Later in that same arc, Peter Parker shows up, bleeding from a gunshot wound, and takes the Vulture out for a while with one web. It's revealed in Superior Spider-Man (2013), that Peter is holding back all the time as Doc Ock discovers when he takes over Peter's body and punches Scorpion in the face, tearing his jaw off◊. One of the coolest examples is the Megaton Punch Spider-Man does against Red Goblin◊ after rebounding with the Venom symbiote in Go Down Swinging. In the What If? version of "Back in Black", Kingpin's sniper killed MJ. When Spidey finally corners him, Kingpin has Aunt May as hostage and tries to use her to have him stand still while he beats him to death... Except Spider-Man has realized he plans to kill her next to avoid having a witness, and tears his heart out◊. As he dies, Kingpin realizes that Spider-Man had been pulling his punches immensely the entire time because he didn't want to kill him. There's the time Ultimate Universe Wolverine meets◊ Ultimate Universe Hulk. Drax the Destroyer once did what he born/created for and killed Thanos with a single Mortal Kombat-esque Finishing Move; this being Thanos he got better soon. Thanos himself is a fan of this trope using his insane strength to murder War Machine◊, Star Lord, Falcon◊ and Mentor◊ (his own father) with a single attack. In Uncanny Avengers, Rogue accidentally does this to Grim Reaper after absorbing Wonder Man's strength. She was unprepared for just how much more powerful she'd become, and ended up snapping the villain's neck with one punch. While still holding back. Rogue's main powers come from Carol Danvers, who drops Norman Osborn (who's wearing Powered Armor at the time) with a single punch◊. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Tony Stark aka Iron Man given the abilities of his suit, can easily◊ Megaton Punch the average joe so hard it kills him. On a less lethal note, Iron Man One-Hit K.Os the Hulk in Avengers: Age of Ultron with the Hulkbuster Armour, justified as Hulk was distracted (having just come to his senses after Scarlet Witch meddled with his mind). The Incredible Hulk's Emil Blonsky gives a demonstration as to why◊ normal humans (even those who have injected themselves with Psycho Serum) shouldn't be stupid enough to try measure up to the Hulk. Blonsky only survives thanks his Healing Factor. The Bunker Buster aka "Ex-wife" from Iron Man 2 is supposed to be this, but it being developed by the inept Justin Hammer means it fails miserably when Rhodey uses it against Whiplash. Thor swings and throws with Mjölnir tend◊ to be◊ one hit kills unless you're a super powerful being, a man in a power suit, have a indestructible shield or possess a magical superweapon of your own to match Mjölnir. Even without the hammer (or without powers) Thor can knock out trained regular humans with a single blow. Thor does the near impossible and takes out Thanos with a single throw of Stormbreaker into the Titan's chest, however it would've been a true One Hit Kill if he'd aimed for the head. Using the power of an Infinity Stone will tend to vaporise your target instantly e.g Guardians of the Galaxy using the Power Stone to destroy Ronan. Though you are more likely die yourself from just touching or coming into contact with one of the stones. Despite Steve Rogers aka Captain America being the Determinator (once again) against Thanos in the Avengers: Infinity War by catching and holding back the Infinity Gauntlet, causing a stalemate, Steve is then instantly knocked out when Thanos uses his other hand. Considering Thanos overpowered Hulk, Thor, Vision and Spider-Man, the fact that Steve still has a head on his shoulders is a mark of his strength. Non-lethal variant. In Doctor Strange, The Ancient One demonstrates a palm strike move that will kick out a person's astral body out, leaving their physical body unconscious and helpless. Considering she uses the same move against Professor Hulk in Avengers: Endgame, it's clear that physical might is irrelevant when defending against this move. |

Shardblades from The Stormlight Archive cut the soul of living things rather than the flesh, and cut straight through almost any inanimate matter without any effort. Slicing the blade through one of a victim's vital organs kills them instantly. Slicing it through a limb "kills" that limb, rending it permanently paralyzed and numb. The only beings that are likely to give somebody with a Shardblade a problem are those with a suit of Shardplate, (which can withstand a Shardblade, at least for a while) or beasts so large that the blade can't easily be sliced into their vital organs (and these are BFSs an average of six feet long, so the fact that there ARE beasts that big, and a lot of them, says something about this world). | |

Castlevania: Dracula's unarmed strikes are enough to instakill◊ any Muggles and Dracula is so strong even a Vampire Hunter like Trevor Belmont is beaten immediately by single gut punch from him. Vampires and monsters in general can butcher humans with the simplest strikes, even a good guy Dhampir like Alucard ends his fight with Trevor by punching him across the room. Trevor gains this ability with the Morning Star whip which with one swing makes vampires aspolode, it doesn't work on Dracula though only making him fall to his knees. Sypha the mage does this with her elemental magic, she might have the best finishing moves of the trio. In Season 3, Isaac does this with his magic dagger; killing humans with one stab and turning them simultaneously into Night Creatures for his army. |

The Zat'nik'tel in Stargate SG-1. Although it takes two shots to kill, one shot delivers excruciating pain, enough to neutralize any target that's not protected against it. One Season 8 episode has O'Neill use an Ancient ship that is basically a transport shuttle (defensive weapons only, no shields) to do this to a Goa'uld Ha'tak mothership (the same class of ship that was a major threat to Earth in the early seasons). Shows how powerful the Ancients were. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: The series gives the impression that the advanced Firebending ability to shoot lightning is a One Hit Kill if it manages to get a direct hit. This is offset by the difficulty of shooting lightning in the first place (it requires a mindset which is opposite to the usual for Firebending, and insufficient skill is likely to cause it to explode in the users face), and even when mastered the time it takes to build up the charge tends to telegraph the attack. In the grand finale, Aang's use of Energybending borders on a peculiar sort of Have-a-Heart instant neutralization. Ty Lee was also feared enough for her ability to temporarily kill someone's Bending. Not a 'kill', but in a world where children can throw fireballs it leaves you pretty helpless (various big name mundanes aside). The horror is taken to a whole new level in the sequel series, The Legend of Korra, which features characters who can kill someone's Bending permanently, much like Aang's Energybending, except it doesn't need much to work with. Judging by how the victims of the procedure are treated, this is basically the Avatar-verse equivalent of lobotomy. |

Cradle Series: By Skysworn, Lindon is finally at a reasonable power level. He's far from the strongest, and people far stronger than him keep declaring oaths of vengeance against him, but at least he's past the point where the average child would curb-stomp him. When a random idiot of his power level attacks him, Lindon counters with a punch, already planning for how to continue after the idiot blocks with his shield but is knocked back a few feet. Instead, the fight is over in that one punch, and he has no idea what to do. Lindon has spent so long fighting desperately against those stronger than him that he hasn't realized how overpowered he is compared to people who are supposed to be on his level. | |

It automatically hits and instantly kills its victim by exploding inside of them, as you discover if you attack the Fiend. If you listen to the Fiend's poem, he's actually trying to help you and gives you the crystal-bladed knife plus a golden key. | |

Hilarious practicality aside, this scene originally was going to have Indy face the swordsmen for real in a choreographed fight scene which would've taken three days to film and blown the studio over budget. Until Harrison Ford (who was suffering from dysentery) wisely suggested to Spielberg that he just "shoot the son of a bitch". Indy's Instant Death Bullet is powerful enough to take out three Nazis with one shot in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. |

A New Hope: The Death Star plays this both ways. One shot from the superlaser at a target planet creates the planetary equivalent of the Chunky Salsa Rule. Whereas a single proton torpedo to the thermal exhaust port, and the Death Star — the size of a moon with a crew numbering in the millions — turns itself into a planet-sized firework. This is how the famous "who shot first" is resolved. Han shoots and kills Greedo with a single shot before Greedo can react. |

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla: Kiryu (AKA "Mechagodzilla 3") possessed a weapon called the Absolute-Zero Cannon which could instantly freeze anything it hit down to absolute zero. The devastating effects of the weapon are seen when Kiryu accidentally freezes several skyscrapers during a battle with Godzilla. Said skyscrapers collapsed into dust almost immediately after freezing. The lethality of the weapon is subverted when used against Godzilla himself twice. The first time, Kiryu had gone berserk from hearing Godzilla's roar and was rampaging across Tokyo before they could fire the weapon. And, the second time, the Absolute-Zero Cannon was badly damaged and could only very temporarily trap Godzilla in ice. | |

Non-lethal variant. In Doctor Strange, The Ancient One demonstrates a palm strike move that will kick out a person's astral body out, leaving their physical body unconscious and helpless.

Red vs. Blue: Season 1 has Donut throw a plasma grenade and oneshot Tex, who was halfway across a canyon and in a tank. This gets a Call-Back in Season 10, where he manages to lob three plasma grenades in one throw to kill three soldiers. In Season 10, Agent Maine does this to The Big Guy of the enemy team to show off his new Super-Strength. The guy is killed in a single punch (which also either knocks his reinforced titanium helmet off or out-and-out decapitates him... the camera angle leaves this unclear). |

Balefire in The Wheel of Time instantly erases from existence anyone it hits retroactively. And it kills in such a way that even the Dark One (who has power over death and can reincarnate people) can't save them. Balefire comes at a very high price, though. Since it kills retroactively, the past will be changed — any actions performed by the killed within for everything for a minute back to days (all according to the power of the Balefire) will now not have happened. If this happens too much, reality itself unravels, causing a Temporal Paradox that can destroy the world. | |

Until Harrison Ford (who was suffering from dysentery) wisely suggested to Spielberg that he just "shoot the son of a bitch". | |

In The Death of Spider-Man, the Human Torch does this to the Green Goblin. Keep in mind, that in this universe, the Goblin is a nigh-invincible hulking beast with the ability to throw fireballs and not a guy in a suit as he is in most media. Though this then shifts into Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu, when Goblin — who's fire-powered in the Ultimate universe — comes back from this bigger and stronger than ever, allowing him to fulfil the name of the arc. Later in that same arc, Peter Parker shows up, bleeding from a gunshot wound, and takes the Vulture out for a while with one web. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, it's not that Gregor Clegane has any magical trick or secret technique that suddenly turns him deadly. He's just that big, strong, able to wear so much armour and can wield a cavalry weapon that's just that big (while he's on foot; in a single hand, no less) in such a way to lay waste to even the most heavily armoured of his opposition in one swing thanks to the sheer power he can put behind it. Now, add a horse's mass and velocity to this equation for when he starts using a lance in or out of the lists... If he makes contact, you're so very dead (and, probably even the guy next to you and the one next to him). It's simple physics and psychotics — and, he proves it time and again. The downside is that he isn't the fastest (still faster than you'd expect, considering how much he and his poor, disposable horses haul about) and he suffers from chronic physical pain thanks to his gigantism for which he's on constant medication. But, if you think that's a bonus, it just means you need to hurt him more (all while dodging the inevitable) for him to even register it. | |

Godzilla: The title character possesses the "Spiral Ray" in a few of his later incarnations, a supercharged, red/orange-colored variant of his normal light-blue atomic Breath Weapon. It proved capable of annihilating some of Godzilla's most powerful foes ever (such as Super Mechagodzilla, Spacegodzilla, and Kaiser Ghidorah) within seconds. The one and only time it did not provide an immediate victory was when used against Destoroyah — and that was when it was being used for the duration of the entire climactic battle — which demonstrated how amazingly dangerous Destoroyah really was. Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla: Kiryu (AKA "Mechagodzilla 3") possessed a weapon called the Absolute-Zero Cannon which could instantly freeze anything it hit down to absolute zero. The devastating effects of the weapon are seen when Kiryu accidentally freezes several skyscrapers during a battle with Godzilla. Said skyscrapers collapsed into dust almost immediately after freezing. The lethality of the weapon is subverted when used against Godzilla himself twice. The first time, Kiryu had gone berserk from hearing Godzilla's roar and was rampaging across Tokyo before they could fire the weapon. And, the second time, the Absolute-Zero Cannon was badly damaged and could only very temporarily trap Godzilla in ice. Godzilla (2014): Godzilla performs one on the male MUTO, by way of a Tail Slap into a skyscraper. Amusingly, the way Godzilla turns around to deliver said attack looks almost casual. |

The DCU: In Justice League International #5, Guy Gardner challenges Batman for leadership of the League. Bats ends◊ the fight with one punch. Done again, in Injustice: Gods Among Us with John Constantine taking Gardner's place... on the floor◊. Future Guy Gardner mastered this move himself. When Batman gets his powers swapped with Superman via Banshee, he gets brutal one-hit payback◊ against poor Bane. The time where Bane broke Batman looks tame in comparison. In Red Lanterns the adorable and deadly Dex-Starr is on the receiving end of a "One Punch" by the Midnighter, whose clearly not proud of this action◊. The Flash has the Infinite◊ Mass◊ Punch◊. Thanks to Superman's near-unstoppable Super-Strength, anytime he's serious or enraged almost all his confrontations becomes this. The What If? scenarios with Supes fighting Batman, tend to end quickly◊ unless Batman is crazy prepared prior to facing Superman. There's also The Joker's death in Injustice aka the "Superman high five". Or Superman punching Brainiac out after the latter has gotten him real mad. However, if it's a reversal and it's Superman going down in one attack, it's usually an "Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?" moment or at worst The Worf Effect. Superman's cousin Kara doesn't fall far from the tree, as proved in Supergirl (2005) story arc Girl Power when Kara knocks Solomon Grundy out cold with one single punch. Superman's son Jonathan doesn't fall from the tree either as he gives a love tap to Damian Wayne that knocks the little bugger out cold◊. The time Hal Jordan tried to measure up to Darkseid in New 52... didn't work out well for Hal◊. Another straight example comes from He-Man of all people who takes out◊ a possessed Superman with one stab of The Power Sword in a crossover. By the power of Gray Skull people. Lady Shiva's signature move is the Leopard's Blow, a single strike to the chest that kills her victim by disrupting their heartbeat (though in more graphic works it's her putting her hand straight through someone's face using the "weak" point across which their eyes lay). Batman, Red Robin, Cass, Richard Dragon and Bronze Tiger can tell she's nearby if they come across victims of this attack with barely a cursory examination of the bodies (which is much more easily explained by the more gory take on the attack). |

In Rebel Planet, humans (and it's only humans) have taken to mastering the martial arts against their alien oppressors, the Arcadians. Human fighters know all the pressure points on Arcadians and humans, so they have a chance to kill either species if they fight them unarmed (making your character's laser sword kinda pathetic barring a skill penalty for being unarmed). | |

In the competitive robot combat show Robot Wars robots could be battered into submission and some robots were in fact powerful enough to disable an opponent with a single lucky blow. Robots could also be flipped over and those with no way to right themselves were immobilized and defeated. However there was only one guaranteed way to defeat an enemy robot in a single strike: throwing it over the wall and out of the arena. The first time it happened, no one could believe their eyes. Not to mention, the pit. | |

Game of Thrones: As Bronn stated, one can attempt to fight Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane by out-maneuvering him, but if he gets just one good hit in, that fighter is dead. This is illustrated in "The Mountain and the Viper." After spending an entire fight flailing at — and missing — the much more nimble Oberyn Martell, Gregor finally manages to get his hands on him and ends the fight in seconds. | |

Thor swings and throws with Mjölnir tend◊ to be◊ one hit kills unless you're a super powerful being, a man in a power suit, have a indestructible shield or possess a magical superweapon of your own to match Mjölnir. Even without the hammer (or without powers) Thor can knock out trained regular humans with a single blow. Thor does the near impossible and takes out Thanos with a single throw of Stormbreaker into the Titan's chest, however it would've been a true One Hit Kill if he'd aimed for the head. |

In The Destroyer book series, the martial art of Sinanju is mostly one-hit kill moves. The (very long) series isn't entirely consistent on how much of this is based on actual precise technique targeting vital spots, and how much is because practice of Sinanju raises basic physical abilities to the point where pretty much any imaginable attack can be used to do lethal damage. | |

In Kid Rock vs. Eminem, Joe C jumps into the ring and eviscerates guest referee Carson Daly, but not before Carson kicks him into the air.

In Billy Budd, the eponymous character is accused of conspiracy and mutiny aboard a British man-of-war by the ship's master-at-arms, who is doing this to fight off his "strange attraction" to the androgynous sailor. Upon hearing this, Billy freezes up, unable to say anything in his defense. Eventually, he answers the only way he can — by punching the liar in the temple. The man dies on the spot. Unfortunately, Billy is found guilty of murder by the tribunal of officers, despite them all being sympathetic to the boy, and hung the next day. Interestingly, the tribunal was about to find him not guilty as a weird case of self-defense, when The Captain intervened and convinced them of the necessity of the execution. | |

The Joker's Wild: Spinning three jokers on a single spin automatically won the game for that contestant ... provided he/she correctly answered a question. While it has happened several times on the game's first spin, only once -– the first time it happened -– did it result in the opponent not getting to play. (The opponent, a challenger, forced his smile as he was on and off the show in roughly 90 seconds.) The ""first-spin triple joker" quick kill was averted thereafter by allowing the challenger –- who always played second –- an opportunity to catch up by continuing to answer questions until they either caught up, won by surpassing the opponent's score or giving an incorrect answer; however, the game would end if the challenger spun the triple joker and answered the question correctly. Like its sister show Tic Tac Dough, the 1977-1986 syndicated version had special scoring categories, which could be used on the player's first turn to build a huge lead and virtually assure themselves a win, simply by severely pressuring the opponent. Categories fitting this example were "Fast Forward" and "Bid," both which allowed contestants to answer multiple questions in a single turn until they either stopped and kept their winnings ("Fast Forward") or completed the terms of their bid to earn the cash ("Bid"). |

In Doctor Who the Dalek race's beams are this, even for other daleks, who are usually really hard to even scratch. There's a very memorable scene in the 9th Doctor's first Dalek episode where a room full of soldiers shoot at a Dalek uselessly and instead of shooting back the Dalek just hits the fire sprinkler on and shoots one death beam and electrifies all the wet soldiers in one. Further material has stated their rays have different power settings and are usually set to instantly kill whatever they're pointed at — and then the Daleks themselves dial it down just a little bit so that death is both assured and agonizing. | |

Elena of Avalor: Shuriki's "Vadisima" spell can destroy or kill anything with a single blow; it in particular killed the parents of the titular heroine. When Shuriki attempted to use the same spell on Elena, she was spared by the magic of the Amulet of Avalor. After Shuriki upgrades to the Scepter of Night, its "Demolish" spell works the same way, with Elena once again spared by the Scepter of Light during their final confrontation. Shuriki is also killed herself by a single blast of the Scepter of Light's "Blaze" spell, in reverse of what happened during their first encounter years prior. | |

The One Hit Kill effect is essentially what made Diamond Dallas Page so dangerous in WCW. You could beat him up all day, but all he had to do was hit the Diamond Cutter and he'd come out on top — and he could hit the Diamond Cutter at a moment's notice, from fifty-two different positions. | |

Scarlet Lady: Because the Bee Miraculous is held by Marigold (Marinette) in this AU (aka someone who's actually a competent superhero), her Venom power instantly takes down an akuma, allowing either Chat Noir or Scarlet Lady to destroy and cleanse the akumatized object. Hawkmoth is so ticked off by this specific power of hers that he makes the Bee Miraculous his target along with the Cat and Ladybug Miraculouses. | |

In Sugar Plums this is how most of Ume's fights end. It's noted this is because she's weaker than most shinobi by default, thus unlike other shinobi who will prod and test opponents to conserve energy in case they have to run away or fight other opponents she will go all out immediately. It's only because of this trait she's able to kill objectively stronger opponents at all and even then it'll usually come at a cost. | |

Ty Lee was also feared enough for her ability to temporarily kill someone's Bending. Not a 'kill', but in a world where children can throw fireballs it leaves you pretty helpless (various big name mundanes aside). The horror is taken to a whole new level in the sequel series, The Legend of Korra, which features characters who can kill someone's Bending permanently, much like Aang's Energybending, except it doesn't need much to work with. Judging by how the victims of the procedure are treated, this is basically the Avatar-verse equivalent of lobotomy. | |

In Lone Wolf, the bow and arrow, far from being just annoying, often allows a one-hit kill for the hero, if he chooses the right target and is enough of a good shot (though some monsters are utterly immune to this). Also fights can end in an instant death, if there's a sufficiently large difference between the combatant's weapon skill. | |

In Sword Art Online, the boss of the 75th floor. It's bad enough that the only door out closes and disappears, and teleport crystals don't work, so the raid group is trapped until they either win or get wiped out. But on top of that, it also one-shots almost everyone unlucky enough to get hit by it. Most of the fighters are suitably terrified. By the end, 14 out of 32 are gone. | |

The Ivory Knife in P.C. Hodgell's Chronicles of the Kencyrath, a mere scratch from which will kill; it is described as "the very tooth of Death". As one might imagine, this can be somewhat dangerous for the wielder as well. Heroine Jame carries it in her boot sheath for a long while, at first because she doesn't realize what it is, then after she knows, because she doesn't have anywhere safe she can leave it. | |

Buffyverse: Every single vampire without Plot Armor goes down (turns to dust) with one stab of a wooden stake (or sharp wooden object) to the heart. Usually there's a drawn out fight at the very least to showcase vampires as powerful foes, then at other times they get staked instantly, and some don't even make it out of their own graves before Buffy dusts them. Sunlight also ends vamp-fights quickly e.g. Russel Winters in the first episode of Angel who is pushed out a skyscraper's window by the titular hero and doesn't make it to the ground. Despite how much a threat they are played up to be, most Big Bad(s) in both Buffy and Angel are taken out in one attack such as The Master, The Judge, The Beast and Jasmine. Before Saitama there was Illyria in Angel Season 5. |

In Way of the Tiger, your ninja assassin Avenger can instantly kill opponents if he has the Poison Needle skill and is given the option of using it. He sometimes can kill enemies with the Nerve Strike skill if he took that as his special skill learnt from the Island of Dawn. Additionally he carries a garrotte and a single dose of the "Blood of Nil" - which is the deadliest poison in the world, sometimes he gets the option of using those particular tools on a hapless victim. Finally there are rare instances that he ends up killing someone if you chose a specific attack; for example in one book he breaks the neck of an attacking ninja by throwing that novice who ends up landing poorly. | |

Code Lyoko: Many of XANA's monsters are able to do that. The Kankrelat, one-shot Yumi in Episode 91. The Blok's rings of fire are powerful enough to one-hit a Lyoko-warrior. The Megatank's attacks, starting with Season 2 is an instant kill. The Manta's explosive mines. Ulrich was immediately devirtualized in Episode 66. Any of the Kolossus' attacks : it is so big any of it's attacks (whether it's his arm-sword or him crushing someone) instantly sends you back in the scanners. Some Lyoko-warriors are also able to do that. William. Even when he was a beginner, any of his sword attacks will devirtualize you. When Xanafied, it goes from Bad to Worse. He gains a sword beam attacks which is not only as fast as Odd's laser arrows, but are also a One-Hit-Kill, except when William lowers it's powers in order to capture Aelita. Aelita's fully charged Energy Field. Not even William can tank it. Yumi's fans devirtualizes instantly monsters without having to hit their weak point. In some episodes, XANA-William can tank it, however. If you don't block Ulrich's sword throw attack, you're as good as dead. XANA-William tasted it. Twice. |

In the Fighting Fantasy book Creature of Havoc, the Player Character is a hulking Monstrous Humanoid with a 1-in-6 chance each combat roll of landing a Critical Hit that instantly kills its opponent. It can also accidentally drink a potion that suppresses this power. In Freeway Fighter and The Rings of Kether, you can do this but only in vehicular combat and are limited by ammo. The first example, your car has rockets to blow up enemies while the second, your spaceship has smart missiles to vapourize them. In Rebel Planet, humans (and it's only humans) have taken to mastering the martial arts against their alien oppressors, the Arcadians. Human fighters know all the pressure points on Arcadians and humans, so they have a chance to kill either species if they fight them unarmed (making your character's laser sword kinda pathetic barring a skill penalty for being unarmed). In Slaves of the Abyss, your character is a master with their sword of Fangthane steel. With this weapon and only this, your character will instantly kill enemies if you roll a pair of 6 for your Attack Strength. In Starship Traveller, if you successfully shoot someone with a phaser — they're either dead or stunned depending on the weapon's setting. Unfortunately your enemies have the same advantage (except for one "primitive" species that uses a rocket staff — your Medical Officer has a chance of stabilizing crew that have been struck, preventing them from dying). |

In the second series of The Chronicles of Amber, Merlin knows a "neat little cardiac arrest spell." He only uses it once, but he just obliterates a Jabberwock with it. Apparently, he has a separate "death spell," but he never uses it. However, he does note that the first spell wouldn't have been a One Hit Kill on a fire angel, as they have three hearts. | |
