Metallica Explosion (メタリカエクスプロージョン, Metarika Ekusupurōjon^?) is a Machina Maker technique used in combination with the Arsenal Suit.

Description

While wearing the Arsenal Suit, the user greatly increases the size of their forearm and punches with a high level of heat energy, creating a massive explosion on impact.

Usage

Weisz first uses this technique as a finishing move against Baku as he was running low on Ether power that would cause the Arsenal Suit to shut down within 10 seconds. He concentrated all of his remaining energy into the attack which was enough to defeat his opponent.

Weisz attempts to use the technique in his fight with Laguna of the Element 4 but his opponent catches the punch in the air with his own Water Hand and pelts Weisz with ranged attacks to prevent him from getting close and using the attack.

Weisz attempts to use the technique in his fight with Drakken Joe in Overdrive form but his fist is caught by Drakken's hand mid-punch and the attack is easily stopped.

Weisz uses this technique to punch Müller in rage after learning what the psychopathic scientist did to the Rutherford siblings, injuring and shocking him of the young man's power.

Variations

• Dual Metallica Explosion

Trivia

• The attack's name is a reference to the Iron Dragon Metalicana from Hiro Mashima's previous work, Fairy Tail.
