Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai[edit | edit source]

Gigagash, retaining its Japanese name of "Gigabreak" in most localisations, is one of Baran's strongest techniques. After using his Dragon Knight abilities to imbue his blade with the powers of both a Kazap (JP: Gigadein) spell and his own Draconic Aura, he performs a two-handed downward slash with all of his strength. This technique can only be performed with a sword crafted from legendary materials such as orichalcum, as its sheer power will cause lesser weapons to disintegrate. Both Baran and Dai have also performed a weaker version of this technique using a Zapple spell instead.

After Dai gains the ability to cast Kazap, he combines Gigabreak with his own sword technique Avan Strash, creating the Giga Strash (which served as the model for Gigaslash in later games).
