God Hand (or Godhand, or God's Hand) is a popular name for a person, item, or skill, almost exclusively in Japanese media and usually related to melee combat. The appeal of the name is obvious. By comparing one's hands to those of a god, a fighter makes it seem like he can do impressive feats with them. For those who fight with their hands, obviously it's an appealing notion. Additionally, it evokes the idea of the "hand of God", while still being concise. The reason this is primarily a Japanese-media trope is that the Japanese tend to use "god" in their names without considering it as blasphemous as western audiences do. Compare Red Baron, which this often gets used as when it's a title. When it's a weapon, it's usually a Power Fist (see Stock Weapon Names). If the hand literally is God's hand, then The Hand Is God. |

In Tales of Legendia, Grune's ultimate spell is God's Press, which calls a glowing golden hand to slap the designated area. The English version incorrectly refers to it as the recurring Judgement spell. | |

Not a weapon or fighting technique, but it still counts: Go plays are called "hands", so in Hikaru no Go all of the high-level Go players (Sai in particular) are looking for the "hand of God". | |

Michael Carpenter in The Dresden Files is known as "The Fist of God." Unlike most of the Japanese examples, this isn't just a boast; Carpenter is a Knight of the Cross and empowered by God to fight evil (his sword is made from a nail from the Cross). | |

The most powerful Strike attack in Persona 3 is called God's Hand. This is more literal than most, as it involves a giant golden hand striking from above! The skill returns in Persona 4 as the second strongest single-target physical attack. Shows up again as one of Chie Satonaka's supers in Persona 4: Arena. Persona 4: Arena Ultimax also gives this move to Margaret, albeit as a special attack. It returns in Persona 5 in a three-way tie for being the strongest single-target physical attack. |

Digimon Adventure: Though its Japanese name was "Heaven's Knuckle," Angemon's signature attack was called "Hand of Fate" in the English Dub. By any name it's a Hand Blast which can overwhelm enemies who gave the entire team a lot of trouble. At least in season one; it's So Last Season in season two. | |

In a post on the RolePlay Online site (rpol.net), a poster demonstrated the game-breaking potential of the Hulking Hurler Dungeons & Dragons class by taking advantage of every possible loophole to create a monstrously powerful character, Urldred the Mountainthrower. His weapon was an eighteen-foot nickle-iron meteorite he called the Fist of Heaven. | |

The best Fist-type weapon in Phantasy Star Online is called "God Hand." It's actually popular since it provides a slight boost to all stats while still keeping the unarmed animation, which for some Casters is the fastest. | |

Magic: The Gathering: Not In-Universe, but used as fanspeak. A different definition of "hand" than most uses of this trope, but a "God Hand" is generally considered seven cards that, when drawn, will defeat an opponent in the first round. The exact definition of a God Hand can sometimes be a source of great contention. | |

In Fate/stay night, God Hand is the name of Berserker's passive ability which negates any attack below a certain ranknote Meaning that in most cases he can only be hurt by a Limit Break or Finishing Move, regardless of how strong the attacker is. and grants him a total of twelve lives, one for each of the twelve labors Heracles realized in his life. Combined with the fact he's a demigod with inherently high strength, speed and toughness, enhanced even more by the Berserker class, this makes him one of the more dangerous servants of the war... except when it doesn't. | |

Barely averted in Mobile Fighter G Gundam, with the Mid-Season Upgrade's primary attack being the God Finger, despite the fact that it's either a Facepalm of Doom or a Hand Blast. Averted entirely in the English dub, which changes it to Burning Finger. | |
