In real life, a piledriver is a move where someone grabs an upsidedown opponent and slams them into the ground headfirst. Damaging, yes, but not awesome enough. Enter the spinning piledriver. In this move, the attacker grabs the opponent in midair, spins rapidly, and slams them headfirst into the ground. That one word makes one hell of a lot of difference. To be able to do this variation of the move, it generally follows a Launcher Move, but it's not required. This is a specific type of Meteor Move, but is distinguished in that the attacker is part of the meteor. While spinning. Enough spinning could make very large holes in the ground. Ninjas in media often perform a head-first variant of this move called the Izuna Otoshinote "Izuna" meaning either the Japanese common name for the least weasel, Mount Izuna in Nagano Prefecture, its tengu deity Izuna-gongen, or the weasel-like kuda-gitsune (pipefoxes) said to be wielded by his cult. (Izuna Drop), a name originating from the protagonist of Kamui Gaiden. An essential part of the repertoire for the Wrestler in All of Us. Compare Hurricane Kick for another exaggerated version of a martial art move. |

Kotaro's third super art in Sengoku Basara 3 is one of these. It's called, you guessed it, "Izuna Drop." Toyotomi Hideyoshi can do a traditional spinning piledriver on a grabbed enemy multiple times before releasing them and if the move is used as the last one in a combo, it gets powered up, with the spinning being rapid enough to create a vortex that draws in nearby enemies so that they'll be hit by the ensuing explosion. |

Nero in Devil May Cry 4 has an attack with his Devil Bringer that's a homage to Zangief's Final Atomic Buster (both series are made by Capcom). Nero's attack - performable only on the Alto Angelo demons - actually looks more like Vega/Balrog's Rolling Izuna Drop. |

In Samurai Shodown, Hanzo and Galford use the Izuna Drop. Galford's version can be done either while dashing, or by his dog. For his appearance in KOF: Maximum Impact 2 (see above), Hanzo has your typical Izuna Drop (which can set the opponent on fire) as both a special move and DM. He also borrows the mid-run variant from Galford. Nagase, whose moveset takes a few pages from Hanzo's, only gets the standard version. |

Morrigan of Darkstalkers, Vector Drain surprisingly. Odd considering she's a fairly skinny succubus, but there are signs of her strength around. She can even deliver this move to building-sized characters in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. That jetpack she's wearing probably helps. Same with Demitri, whose command throw is an Izuna Drop. |

In Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder, this can be performed as a team attack. Simply put, all four players have to attack a stunned enemy at the same time. It's the single most damaging attack in the game and works on everything. The non-spinning version can be done with just two players. | |

In fact, starting in the WWE video game, SmackDown vs. Raw 2009, you can create a Spinning Piledriver Finishing Move. It's not nearly as cool as Haggar or Zangief's Jushin Liger-style versions, but it's an actual, honest-to-goodness Spinning Piledriver. SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 probably has the best version yet, thanks to the new Corner Grapple position in Create-A-Finisher, you can make a top rope Spinning Piledriver. | |

In Kensei: Sacred Fist, professional wrestler David sorta has one. He can smack someone over the head to turn them around and give them four flipping German suplexes in a row. He finally uses all that momentum to leap up into a flying piledriver (though there's no spinning in the air). This brutal attack will wipe out almost all of an opponent's health and in the demo theatre, poor Ann is the victim of this special combo. | |

Pizza Tower's protagonist Peppino Spaghetti gets one of these as one of his many throw attacks. The already comical appearance escalates even further during the Final Boss, where it's used as the finishing blow of his No-Holds-Barred Beatdown against Pizza Head. It hits so hard that he becomes stuck headfirst into the tower. | |

In Street Fighter 6, Zangief gets another spinning piledriver command throw as an air-to-air command throw called Borscht Dynamite. This time, he grabs the opponent, punches them upward, then in an even more physics-defying maneuver than the standard spinning piledriver he somehow manages to jump up to catch them and deliver a spinning power bomb. | |

Naruto: The "Front Lotus" is an Izuna Drop which functions as the first Finishing Move of Might Guy and his pupil Rock Lee (and has also been imitated by Kakashi). Its setup requires mastery of the Dancing Leaf Shadow techniquenote Mirroring the speed and trajectory of an opponent you've launched into the air, and the move itself can only be performed while benefiting from the Uninhibited Muscle Power granted by opening one of the Eight Gates (adding risk to the maneuver, since this rapidly exhausts the user's stamina). Lee's variant also unravels the bandages around his wrists and uses them to bind the target so that they can't escape. | |

Can be done in the Spider-Man 2 video game. It is taken up to 11 in this case as it's entirely possible to grab a mook from street level, swing them up to the top of the nearest skyscraper and do it from there. This includes spinning piledriving a mook from the top of the Empire State Building all the way to ground level. The game even keeps track of the max number of rotations performed on the stats screen. | |

In Gundam Vs Gundam NEXT Plus, the ZZ Gundam has the standard Spinning Piledriver as one of its most damaging moves. The ninja-themed Gundam Spiegel gets the classic Izuna Drop, while Gundam Epyon has an Izuna Drop performed while in its flight mode, which is Awesome, but Impractical thanks to the long recovery time afterwards. In Gundam Extreme Vs, it's the GP-01 "Zephyranthes" that inherits the move. The Astray Red Frame and Astray Gold Frame Amatsu can also do this. |

Yoshimitsu has the "Izuna Drop" version as a throw from behind in the Tekken (and Soul series) games. Armor King's Steiner Screwdriver is a mild (and RL-performable) variant where it starts with a suplex, then rotates the victim while vertical and drops. King gets one as a Finishing Move of a chain throw in Tekken 5. Kuni’s Chakra Drop is this and it’s the most awesome looking one in the series. |

Zangief in Street Fighter II, who has it as a special throw command. It would later be followed by Mike Haggar from Final Fight. While Mike Haggar used the spinning clothesline first, Zangief developed the spinning piledriver, which Haggar then copied in Final Fight 2. Both versions are the same - Zangief and Haggar grab their opponents, then jump into the air while spinning (which is physically impossible), and slam them down into the ground. The manual says Haggar and Zangief are frenemies, constantly trying to one-up their trademark grapples. Apparently, Zangief came up with this move after piledriving a bear in the middle of a hurricane. The Spanish ninja Vega, also from SFII, can execute the Izuna Drop after using his special jump move and landing above his opponents' head. In V, he gets a spinning Izuna Drop as an EX version of the normal one. Seth in Street Fighter IV also has one (copied from Zangief), in a purer form. He sets it up by uppercutting the enemy into the air and then teleporting to them for the spinning piledriver. Guy in Final Fight/Street Fighter. In the Street Fighter Alpha series, Guy started out with one of these (Kaiten Izuna Otoshi) as a forward air grab (it became an aerial command grab in Super Street Fighter IV). SSFIV would also add to his repertoire the Bushin Goraisenpujin, an Ultra Combo that mirrors the aforementioned Front/Primary Lotus in Naruto. Street Fighter 6 would later introduce Guy's protege Kimberly, who can execute a similar aerial grab. In Street Fighter 6, Zangief gets another spinning piledriver command throw as an air-to-air command throw called Borscht Dynamite. This time, he grabs the opponent, punches them upward, then in an even more physics-defying maneuver than the standard spinning piledriver he somehow manages to jump up to catch them and deliver a spinning power bomb. In Marvel vs. Capcom, Zangief develops the ability to perform a double spinning piledriver with his tag partner as his team hypercombo move. |

In Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2, Android 18 has a Team Ultimate where she has 17 and 16 as an assist called "Hell Spiral." 18 and 17 grab both sides of the opponent and do a double spinning piledriver, and then 16 blasts the crap out of the opponent in the resultant crater. | |

Gourmet Warriors have a special move where you execute foes by grabbing them, leaping in the air, and piledriving them into the ground. And for good measure, you can stand on them, balancing yourself on their legs dangling comically in the air... | |

In Saint Seiya, one of the variations of Seiya's Pegasus Rolling Crush technique is this. He uses it most memorably against Lizard Misty, with fatal results for his rival. | |

In Super Smash Bros., Kirby and Meta Knight can both perform an extremely fast drop that supplementary material explicitly titles the Izuna Drop in Japanese (������, Izuna Otoshi). | |
