'''Big Banga''' (pronounced Big Banger) is a recurring ability in the franchise.

Its elemental nature varies between titles, but it is always a skill of prodigious strength when used.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ6}}===
Big Banga is learned by [[Mercury]] at level 14. The only other way to obtain this skill is by mastering the [[Liquid metal slime (vocation)|Liquid metal slime]] vocation. It deals 300~400 Fire damage, and cremates all foes for 30 {{MP}}.

==={{DQ7}}===
In the original {{PSX}} version of {{VII}} only characters that master the [[Platinum king jewel (vocation)|Platinum King Jewel]] vocation will learn the skill. It has the same damage range, cost, and element as in {{VI}}.
In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, reaching rank 7 of the [[Druid]] and rank 6 of the {{Hero V}} vocations will also unlock the skill. [[Darkonium slime]]s use it in this version.

==={{DQ8}}===
[[Yangus]] can use Big Banga as a scythe technique after allocating 100 skill points into the associated skill tree. It's strength is dependent on [[Yangus]]' level: prior to level 55, it will deal 175~225 Fire damage to all enemies. Once the brazen bandit surpasses the benchmark, the skill will deal 300~400 damage. Both parameter sets require 30 {{MP}} to be used, and are affected by [[Yangus]]' tension level.

Big Banga is also the deathmove of the [[Call Team|monster team]] called ''The Legends'', which consists of [[Hori (Recruit)|Hori]], [[Nohi]], [[Sugi]], & [[Tori]], and it can be used by [[Gracky]], the giant [[Dracky]] born from the fusion of the three recruitable Drackies.

==={{DQ9}}===
Big Banga can be used by any character that has the [[Skill Manuals|Hardcore Hammering]] (quest #82) item in their inventory. The skill is of the Darkness element this time around, and will deal 240~360 fixed damage when used. It costs only 16 {{MP}} to use this time, and will affect all enemies.

==={{DQ11}}===
This skill can only be learned by the {{Luminary}} when his power awakens. It is locked behind a hidden panel in the {{Luminary}} skill set and costs 16 skill points to unlock. The skill will deal a maximum of 330 Fire-element damage on a group of enemies and costs 24 {{MP}} to use. The [[restless knight]] and [[king of metal king slimes]] will also use it against the {{Luminary}}.

==={{DQM}}===
Called BigBang in this [[Eidos]] localization, it requires the {{MFamilies}} to reach level 36 with 196 {{HP}}, 196 {{MP}} and 208 {{Intelligence}}. It is naturally learned by [[Mortamor|DeathMore]], [[Mortamor|DeathMore]] (Final form), [[Divinegon]], [[Balhib|GoldGolem]], [[Gem slime|GoldSlime]] and [[Zoma]]. It can also be learned by {{MFamilies}}s knowing [[Kaboom|Explodet]], [[Scorch|WhiteFire]] and [[C-c-cold Breath|WhiteAir]].

==={{DQM2}}===
BigBang now requires 612 {{Intelligence}} to learn. It is naturally learned by [[Psycho Psaro|PsychoPiz]].

==={{DQMJ2}}===
Big Banga uses the Darkness element, and will hit all enemies for 175~225 damage at the cost of 50 {{MP}}. It is learned for 100 points in any of the following: 
*[[Flute Warrior]] (100 points)
*[[Rigor Mortex (skill)|Rigor Mortex]] (100 points)
*[[Sage (skill)|Sage]] (100 points)
*[[Über Zapologist]] (100 points)
*[[Zoma (skill)|Zoma]] (100 points)

Big Banga costs 52 {{MP}} and deals ''(Level x 1.5) + 150'' Explosion-element damage to all enemies. It is learned through the [[Airhead]], [[Walking Disaster]], [[Wrecker]], and [[Zoma (Talent)|Zoma]].

Big Banga is [[Nera Briscoletti]]'s [[Coup de Grâce]]. She twirls her wand around in a circle, then sends out an explosion that devastates anything caught within the blast. The finisher works best when used in conjunction with the creature-corralling [[Maelstrom]] for tighter group efficiency.

==={{DQTreasures}}===
Big banga deals Explosion-element damage on all enemies in the blast radius for 8 {{MP}}, and is learned by [[king slime]]s as well as the [[Magmantes]].

==={{DQTact}}===
Big Banga appears once again as {{Nera}}'s [[Coup de Grâce]]. It can be learned by her at level 80 and costs 137 {{MP}} to cast. It has a range of three squares away from her in any direction and inflicts major [[Bang]]-type spell damage to all enemies in a 3x3 square. Since it is a [[Coup de Grâce]], it takes 4 turns to charge and can only be used once per battle. Upgrading the spell increases its damage and reduces the amount of {{MP}} it costs to cast.

==Etymology==
*When Plus-Alpha localized {{VIII}}, the skill was given a curious vowel ending. This is reflective of the Cockney accent that [[Yangus]] speaks with in the western localization, and the association has stuck ever since.
