One Hit KO

Introduction

One Hit KO is a term that refers to abilities and attacks that are explicitly meant to defeat the target with a single use. This can happen any variety of ways, but the target must be struck down and defeated with a single use of the corresponding ability to qualify, so this term does not apply to attacks that instantly defeat the target after multiple stages.

One Hit KO powers are generally considered to be broken since they often involve some manner of Durability Negation or a major hax component that makes them very hard to counter. It should also be noted doing an insanely high damage in a RPG that will always one-shot the opponent does not count as One Hit KO, that is Damage Boost.

However, several of them have limitations on what they're able to defeat or how they're able to defeat a target (i.e. Akame's Murasame will only work on living, organic beings with a heart).
