Background
One Hit KO (abbreviated to OHK or OHKO) refers to abilities or attacks designed to defeat a target with a single use instantly. These abilities typically bypass conventional durability or defenses, ensuring the opponent is incapacitated without requiring multiple strikes or prolonged engagement. To qualify, the attack must defeat the target in a single action, rather than through a sequence of steps or cumulative effects.
One Hit KO abilities often involve forms of Durability Negation or other mechanics that make them difficult to counter. However, simply dealing extremely high damage in an RPG that results in an instant defeat does not qualify as One Hit KO—such instances fall under Damage Boost.
These abilities may come with restrictions, such as only affecting specific types of targets or requiring particular conditions to activate. For example, Akame’s Murasame only works on living, organic beings with a heart.
