History ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill / AnimeAndManga

** In "Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS", Lightning does this to Spectre when the later managed to overcome his strategy and lock both of the Extra Monster Zones, while not an high amount of damage at 6000LP damage, the strategy he employed destroyed Spectre's field entirely, leaving him with only his ace card negated on his field and everyone can only look in shock as Spectre is left unable to stop Lightning's following attack.

* Yasuo Umetsu's ''Anime/{{Kite}}'' manages to top a lot. [[spoiler:However, one sequence deserves special mention: After Sawa assassinates a particular target, one of the bodyguards she had dealt with earlier (by shooting him a bunch of times) tackles her out of the window of a multi-story skyscraper. She manages to turn it around so she's hiding next to his chest, making his wild retaliatory pistol shots useless, and the two of them fall and fall and land on a car on an elevated freeway...''making the car fall through the freeway'' and land on a truck in the street, making ''that'' all through the street and into a subway station. As Sawa clings to the edge of the pit leading up to the normal street level, a falling electrical sign shaped like an arrow falls and crushes the bodyguard and causes the two vehicles to ''[[MadeOfExplodium explode]]''.]]

* In "Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS", Lightning does this to Spectre when the later managed to overcome his strategy and lock both of the Extra Monster Zones, while not an high amount of damage at 6000LP damage, the strategy he employed destroyed Spectre's field entirely, leaving him with only his ace card negated on his field and everyone can only look in shock as Spectre is left unable to stop Lightning's following attack.

** And from an early episode of ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', Judai and Kaibaman face off, and the latter has Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon on his side, breathing down the former's powerful but much weaker Bladedge. Judai looks ready to turn things, as well as this trope, around by springing a trap that would destroy Kaibaman's ultimate monster at the cost of his own, with the added effect of taking out the latter's life points equivalent to the just destroyed monster...only for Kaibaman to chain De-Fusion and split the ultimate dragon back into its 3 only somewhat weaker counterparts. Judai, left with nothing on his side of his field, can only watch as Kaibaman launches his attack with ALL 3 of his Blue-Eyes, [[LargeHam shouting, to maximum effect: "Kyojin! Muteki! Saikyou! Funsai! Gyakusai! Daikasai!" ("Giant! Invincible! Strongest! Pulverize! Honorable Defeat! Big Applause!" )]] (Though, he only says this in the Japanese version. In the dub, Kaibaman just says "White Lightning!" and doesn't say anything else.)

** Epically done by Yami Yugi, after Yugi's soul is taken by the Oricalchos. Insector Haga ''[[BullyingADragon taunts]]'' the guilt-wracked and now rather unstable Yami by tearing up a card in front of him after claiming Yugi's soul was in it and that [[DeaderThanDead tearing it up erased him]], "[[MoralEventHorizon as a joke]]". Yami Yugi...well, he goes [[UnstoppableRage totally and utterly apeshit]]. Using the Spell Card Berserker Soul which allows him to attack as long as he continues to draw Monster Cards, Yami Yugi defeats Haga by drawing two Monster Cards, which are enough to drop his Life Points to 0. However, the enraged Yami Yugi then continues bashing at him, by drawing at least '''six''' more monster cards in a row, each hitting for 1500 damage each. He would've kept going too, if Anzu hadn't stopped him. This moment was cut shorter in the dub.
*** Just to drive home ''how'' far into overkill this is: by the time Anzu halted the onslaught, Haga was down to -8300...dead ''[[DeaderThanDead three times over.]]'' Even at the card game's 8000 Life Points start rather than the anime's 4000, this whole onslaught would have been a OneHitKill.

** It happens when facing Union Teope. {{Justified}} as Union Teope is fond of dosing people with [[PsychoSerum Angel Dust]], with the victim becoming a mindless murderer with SuperStrength and [[TheJuggernaut effectively impossible to stop without a headshot or beheading]] (they ''can'' be killed by shooting them in other places, but they ''won't stay down'' and will kill you before bleeding out), and the best way to do so is to riddle the drone with bullets and shoot him in the head with a HandCannon while he's down.

** Not to mention the Ishbal Massacre, where state alchemists were deployed to the front lines with Philosopher Stones to be used as human weapons. After deployment, the entire war was over in ''one day''. [[spoiler:Mustang is seen using alchemy to reduce an entire city to rubble with a single snap of his fingers]].

** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket'': The Kampfer has just used its chain mine to destroy the Gundam NT-1 "Alex"'s Chobham Armor and has pulled out its beam saber for what its pilot hopes is the final blow. The Alex responds by raising up its arm and firing its Gatling gun mounted on its forearm, and just ''kept firing'' until the stupid thing falls down and stays down. The poor pilot is so much hamburger.

* ''Manga/{{Akira}}''

** It is famous for ramping up the characters to untold proportions where everything they do is essentially another shot on overkill...at least until the other person comes up with something that is EVEN MORE overkill.
** During Alita's fight with Sachumudo, Sachumudo has nanomachine dust that breaks EVERYTHING apart making him nearly completely invincible...until Alita learns to use Plasma to burn it like gas only for Sachumudo to reveal that he can control magnetic fields and creates a giant ball of plasma that can incinerate Alita 100 times over...only for Alita to turn THAT over again by using her Hertza Haeon to blast the entire sphere into Sachumudo. And proceeds to tear the living crap out of him UNTIL HE REVERTS INTO AN INFANT FORM.
** One moment is when Sechs enters the first tournament round against the Stellar nursery school where their first opponent Getz uses attacks that were used to take down WARSHIPS.

* Somewhat averted in ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' during the Hansel and Gretel arc. A group of bounty hunters guns down a car they believe is carrying the twins by not only shooting it with an RPG but also by riddling it with so many bullets that there is literally no part for the car without a bullet hole in it. But given that the twins hired two orphans to act as a decoy you have the overkill part just not the kill part, unless you count the two children in the car.
** When Fabiola started a fight at the Yellow Flag, the Columbian cartel responded with a car-mounted machine gun hosing down the entire building. And they ''missed''.
** Hotel Moscow is known for ussin of military-grade gear without hesitation. Hotel Moscow's idea of starting a gang war? Several explosions of antipersonnel mines in their main income sources. Then they go on a full blown military search and destroy mission. Granted, they are mostly former military and do know how to use this stuff properly...
* ''{{Manga/Blame}}'' introduces the [[WeaponOfMassDestruction Gravitational]] [[WaveMotionGun Beam Emitter]], a weapon that is incapable of anything ''less'' than overkill. The weapon is no larger than a ''pistol'' and the main character fires it off like farts after a bean casserole, despite it leaving a ''40 kilometer'' long path of destruction along it's aim, no matter what happens to be in the way. And this being ''Blame''!, it is not even most powerful among such weapons.
* ''{{Manga/Bleach}}'':

* In ''Manga/DGrayMan'' Yu Kanda kills [[spoiler: Skinn Bolic]] by cutting him multiple times, stabbing him with his sword in the left side of the chest (where the heart is), slicing him from the shoulder down to the lower belly which causes the Innocence to melt in his body as well and finally bisecting him to eventually make him stop to move.
* ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'': Myotismon has proven extremely hard to kill. They've destroyed him twice but he comes back in ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'' for round three. So how do you finally kill this sadist off for good? [[spoiler: [[DeaderThanDead Blow up his soul]] with the [[AllYourPowersCombined combined light of every Digivice on Earth]] fired from a {{BFG}} that shoots ''dark matter''. To put this in perspective, just the light of ''eight'' Digivices completely negated an explosion that could completely destroy two dimensions. Myotismon's soul got hit with the light of ''millions'' of Digivices in one, concentrated blast fired out of a darkmatter cannon. And this is one of those cases were the victim in question was just that hard to kill considering how they'd already vaporized him twice already and he keeps coming back. Since this particular Myotismon never comes back, it worked.]]
** ''Anime/DigimonFusion'' has Kiriha who lives by this trope, his tactics mostly involves his digimon unleashing a barrage of BeamSpam of ungodly proportions, if a single volley isn't enough, he keeps on firing some {{more|Dakka}}, and he doesn't even care if Taiki's digimon get in his line of fire. In fact, he specifically invokes this when fighting regenerating undead opponents. How do you stop opponents that can recover from any attack you hit them with? You blast them until they ''can't.''
** How about the first time we see Skullgreymon. It slaps the other Greymon at a giant TV screen so it get's electrocuted and then just to be sure [[DeaderThanDead fires of a mini-nuke at it]].

* ''Manga/EatMan'', what with all the {{BFG}}s. And in the Mira/Misha arc, Bolt is stabbed through the heart with a ''missile''.
* In the prologue of the sci-fi/{{hentai}} anime ''EL'', it explains that in 2030 the world's major powers nearly wiped out all life on the planet via nuclear holocaust. Their reason? ''[[NiceJobBreakingItHero To put a stop to environmental pollution]]''.

** Not to mention the Ishbal Massacre, where state alchemists were deployed to the front lines with Philosopher Stones to be used as human weapons. After deployment, the entire war was over in ONE DAY. [[spoiler:Mustang is seen using alchemy to reduce an entire city to rubble with a single snap of his fingers.]]

** Sousuke Sagara isn't usually given to overkill on actual battlefields, but - having been [[TheSpartanWay raised]] as a {{Child Soldier|s}} - when he's assigned as an undercover bodyguard to an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent, he applies good battlefield tactics to his school life and goes ''massively'' overboard. Some people say it with flowers; Sousuke says it with ''land mines''.

** The [[EmpathicWeapon Lambda Driver]] functioning off of Sousuke's emotional state also leads to one instance of battlefield overkill: in ''The Second Raid'', Sousuke blasts the BigBad so hard that he and his HumongousMecha completely disintegrate...along with a hundred-meter long trench cut into the street. Through [[HumanShield Clouseau]]. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Without harming him.]] Clouseau's response in the English dub is a deathly-scared "[[LampshadeHanging That was OVERKILL, sergeant!]]"

** 2nd Gig has one of the best examples of this. After spending the best part of 26 episodes thinking he's bulletproof, the scheming [[spoiler:Kazunoto Goda]] gets machine-gunned to death ''at point-blank range [[spoiler:until his [[YourHeadAsplode head asplodes]]]]'' by the Major and Batou.
** There's also the terrorists plan to [[spoiler:buy plutonium from the russian mafia to threaten the government with atomic bombs]]. The corrupt government takes no risks and [[spoiler: calls a favor from the Americans, to nuke the entire refugee colony where the terrorists are hiding.]]

* Franchise/{{Gundam}}
** [[TheEvilPrince Gihren Zabi]] of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' backs various superweapon projects, killed a billion people in the first week of the war with [[DeadlyGas chemical weapons]], [[ColonyDrop drops a colony]] on Earth Federation headquarters, and uses nuclear weapons at the first real battle between Zeon and the Federation. That's without taking into account his use of the [[WaveMotionGun Solar Ray]] to assassinate ''one man''; [[spoiler:namely, his own father.]]
*** To say nothing of Char's slaying of Kycillia: [[BoomHeadshot shooting her in the face]] with a ''rocket launcher''. The missile was flying so fast it smashed through the bridge of her ship and ''tore her head off'' before it even exploded.
** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket'': The Kampfer has just used its chain mine to destroy the Gundam NT-1 "Alex"'s Chobham Armor and has pulled out its beam saber for what its pilot hopes is the final blow. The Alex responds by raising up its arm and firing its Gatling Gun mounted on its forearm and just ''kept firing'' until the stupid thing fell down and stayed down. The poor pilot was so much hamburger.

** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'': The Full Armor Unicorn. Basically they slapped a large backpack and extra boosters on the Unicorn and crammed in as many weapons as they possibly could. In addition to its standard armament of a Beam Magnum, head vulcans, and four beam sabers, it now has ''two'' double-barreled beam gatlings, another double gatlings on the shoulders, multiple missile pods on its legs and more on the backpack, two shoulder-mounted bazookas, two anti-ship missile launchers, two grenade launchers, 24 (MS-scale) hand grenades, and two beam javelins/halberds. This thing is seemingly designed to take on an entire army on its own.
** In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'' a character, after he '[[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness is no longer needed]]', is dropped out of a high flying plane...and the woman who dropped him (Lady Une in [[SplitPersonality full-on buns-and-glasses mode]]) then shoots him in the head on the way down. This is made even more ludicrous by her stated reason: she didn't want to soil the plane with his blood.

*** The Mercurius and Vayeate mobile suits were deliberate overkill into the defense and offense departments, respectively. Mercurius was a test bed for the Defensor drones, three of which can form an energy shield that blocks most anything. Mercurius has ''eight'' of them. The Vayeate was basically a mobile suit-shaped engine for a gigantic beam cannon that might just outdo the Buster Rifle in terms of sheer firepower, and has a built-in generator so that it won't run out of power after three shots like the Buster Rifle does.
*** This would veer into CripplingOverspecialization if it weren't for the fact that the Mercurious and Vayeate were planned to work together like BashBrothers.

*** Muruta Azrael. First, when Azrael needs to defeat a ZAFT invasion of [[spoiler: the Alaska base at Josh-A]] he stations a whole bunch of unwanted forces to defend the base, orders his fanatical subordinates to escape, then [[spoiler: uses a Cyclops bomb to irradiate and then vaporize the base, its defenders, and the majority of the ZAFT assault forces]]. Later, when he is staging his final assault on the space fortress at Jachin Due, he not only [[spoiler: deploys nukes at Boaz fortress, completely reducing it to ash, but he also deploys enough nukes against the Plant Colonies to wipe them out several times over]].
*** His [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny successor]], Djibril, picks up the reins and does things more or less the same way. He tries to {{nuke|Em}} the Plants right at the start of the war, uses the [[WeaponsOfMassDestruction Destroy]] Gundam to crush local revolts in Eurasia, and fires [[WaveMotionGun Requiem]] at ZAFT in a last bid to kill them all.
*** ZAFT is little better. Before the series began, the Earth Alliance nuked one of the PLANT colonies, killing roughly 250,000 people. ZAFT's response was the deployment of N-Jammers on Earth, which triggered a catastrophic energy crisis in every nation on the planet. Late in the series when they completely [[spoiler:disable the Alliance forces at Panama with [=EMP=]s]], they don't secure the helpless and surrendering soldiers, they massacre all of them. The one ironic non-accomplice in this event is [[spoiler: Yzak Joule, who feels that butchering unarmed and stationary targets is a waste of time, which is ironic considering his previous actions at Heliopolis and the 8th Fleet battle]]. At the end of the war, Patrick Zala's victory strategy involves [[spoiler: purging all moderate factions in the governments including his old friend Siegel Clyne and then using the massive gamma ray laser [[KillSat GENESIS]] to scorch the surface of Earth, wiping out all life]].
*** The icing on the cake is when you find out that [[spoiler: both Azrael and Zala were being used by [[OmnicidalManiac Rau Le]] [[BigBad Creuset]] in an attempt to bring about the extinction of mankind via Mutual Assured Destruction with both sides' superweapons (the nukes and GENESIS)]]. What do you expect when the entire series is a CrapsackWorld that runs on HumansKillWantonly?
*** [[spoiler:Oh, and Rau Le Creuset himself? His Gundam, Providence, gets impaled in the final battle by the [[LaserBlade Beam Saber]] of Kira's Freedom, and despite the laser blade missing him by inches, he is exposed to the vacuum of space as a result, sucking his mask off and taking his air away. But that wasn't enough... Rau was ''in front'' of the ''massive'' laser cannon of the [[WeaponOfMassDestruction GENESIS]] as it fired its last shot before exploding, completely obliterating and disintegrating the Providence with Rau inside, as if to remove ''any'' doubt that Rau could live through that. Kira wisely got out of dodge before it fired.]]
*** Also in ''Destiny'', in a duel between Kira and Athrun, during a blade-lock, Kira cut off Athrun's Savior's arms, literally disarming it, and then proceeded to chop it into pieces in a rain of scrap metal, making sure that Gundam wasn't going to come back. It's a non-lethal example though since Kira is a BadassPacifist and ... that's kinda his best friend he's fighting against.

*** [[spoiler:Louise Halevy had a particularly well-deserved punishment for the loathsome Nena Trinity (the girl responsible for killing Louise's parents, as well as the loss of Louise's hand) when she finally got to face her with her Regnant Mobile Armor; first she blasted Nena's Gundam Throne Drei with the homing Beam Cannon of her Regnant twice, blowing off its arm and legs. Then she tore the Throne Drei limb from limb with her Regnant's Fang claws, bloodying Nena inside her cockpit as she reduced the Drei to just a battered, sparking torso. ''Then'', with Nena completely helpless and [[VillainousBreakdown trying to refuse her impending fate]], Louise violently shoved the Regnant's arm into the cockpit, [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impaling Nena]] [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe and severing her in two]]. Somehow, Nena briefly survived that and screamed a DyingCurse at Louise before the rest of Throne Drei exploded, incinerating what was left of her. [[AssholeVictim It was completely deserved]].]] Surprisingly, Nena's [[RobotBuddy Haro]] survives the explosion.
*** In the dub, Tieria talks about this in episode 10. "So, I see you got caught. This just goes to prove that you never deserved to be a Gundam Meister. You deserve ''ten thousand deaths''!" Ironically, moments later it is turned against himself. "So, I actually got caught. This just goes to prove that I never deserved to be a Gundam Meister. I deserve ''ten thousand deaths''!".
*** Virtue, Nadleeh, and Seravee all qualify. Virtue is your average heavy-assault mecha with an incredibly destructive particle bazooka (Shown in one of the first episodes to not destroy the enemy, but break them down into particles). Nadleeh is slightly less bulky, and more mobile, but can dual-wield Virtue's shoulder mounted cannons as were they handguns. Seravee, well, it can wield 6 particle bazookas, each more powerful than Virtue's single bazooka. And if it is forced into melee combat, it can just wield 6 beam sabers instead. The movie went further and gave us the Gundam Zabanya, an upgraded version of the Gundam Dynames, and is more focused on precision, rather than fire-power, and yet it still has 20 Bits and 78 missile launchers built into its frame. And then there's the Gundam Harute, which in its own right is pretty all-round...until Hallelujah and Soma Peries awake, at which point it is controlled by the two most powerful Super Soldiers ever created.
*** Also from TheMovie: the Gadelaza. Here is all you need to know about its overkill weaponry: '''154 bits'''...and a WaveMotionGun for good measure.

*** Episode 26. [[spoiler:Asemu versus Desil. After Woolf dies from [[TakingTheBullet taking Desil's beam saber thrust]] for Asemu, he goes full out against Desil. First by taking off the Khronos's legs, then its arms and its remaining shoulder cannon. Then he bisects the mobile suit, and finishes it off by firing his Hyper DODS cannons at the two halves, leaving the Khronos and its pilot as space dust. Considering [[AxCrazy the type]] [[BloodKnight of guy he was]], [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome it was a long time coming]] -- and [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap redeemed Asemu in the eyes of Western fans.]]]]

** Mikazuki Augus from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'' is already notorious for ''frequently'' delivering NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to his enemy, but the fight against [[spoiler: Carta Issue]] takes the cake. In his RoaringRampageOfRevenge for his fallen allies, [[spoiler: he slammed her bodyguards and [[KilledMidSentence stomped them when the later wanted to negotiate for a duel]], pursued Carta without bothering her chatter and her name, dismembered her mecha, [[CruelAndUnusualDeath flung said dismembered mecha across a snowy field]], [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill broke her sword and snapped her hand apart]], and even when Mika's final blow was interrupted by Gaelio and Orga, getting her mecha tossed around like a rag doll had already mortally wounded Carta.]]
* In the ''{{VideoGame/Gungrave}}'' anime Bear Walken's team is called the "Overkills." Which is demonstrated after they [[spoiler:riddle Blood War with hundreds of bullets. Granted this is done after he is shot up by Brandon, Bunji and Harry.]]

* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'''s [[{{Dracula}} Alucard]] will often use far more bullets and/or physical force than necessary to kill his opponents. Conversely, what ''seems'' like overkill from the other side is never enough to kill him.

* ''Manga/HunterXHunter'':[[spoiler: After [[PowerAtAPrice sacrificing ''everything'' to gain enough power to beat Pitou,]] a raging Gon beats Neferpitou in the stomach and sends it flying into the air and to the mountainside before finally [[PummelingTheCorpse pummeling it so hard that it's head turned to mush.]] When Pitou's corpse revives itself via Terpsichora and severs his arm, he beats it once more then uses his ''own severed arm'' to pin down the corpse to fire off one last rage-filled induced Jajanken that blows out the surrounding area.]]

** The revolutionary who tries to lead Takashi out of the city gets caught by the police he shoots at them and they return fire with machine guns mortally wounding him, when he tells Takashi to leave the police proceed to ''blast the hell out of him'' with another fusillade, with one of the last hits splitting his skull in two.
** In the manga, the General at one point calls in an orbital strike on a ''mugger.''

* In ''Anime/{{Jormungand}}'', one of Koko's team member is killed by a CIA hit squad, three of whom make it out alive. She tracks them to a cave in Iraq, then calls in a B-52 airstrike on them strong enough to change the landscape.

*** When Dr. Gero last monitored Goku on Earth, the highest power level on record was Vegeta's Great Ape form which had a power level around 180,000. He didn't see any of the fights on Namek, so he calculated how powerful to make the androids. Even the weakest of his androids was several times more powerful than Frieza, who was the undisputed most powerful being in the universe. If the Z-Fighters had never gone to Namek or met Frieza, they would have been killed with little trouble.
*** Androids 16, 17 and 18 were Gero's strongest androids and it showed when they demonstrated enough power to easily best a normal Super Saiyan - something Gero didn't even account for.[[note]]It's largely implied that it's the power generators that they run on that made them so powerful, so that was more dumb luck.[[/note]] On top of that, at least 16 and 18 ( and perhaps even 17) have self-detonators - 16 in particular, felt his was powerful enough to insta-kill even Goku despite his power being close to Perfect Cell. And as for Cell, his self-destruct ability has enough power to [[EarthShatteringKaboom blow up the Earth]]. Gero ''really'' wanted Goku dead.

--> '''Optimus''': ''There'' we ''go''! Now, I hope you two don't think this is a ''tad excessive''!

** To make sure Frieza is finally dead after slicing him in half with his sword, Trunks proceeds to cut off his limbs and tail, chop his two halves into smaller pieces, and finishes it by disintegrating his remains with a ki-blast. Given he survived a beating from Goku, getting cut in half, and being on an exploding planet, and given that Frieza was one of the most powerful villains of the series, it probably seemed like a sensible precaution.

** [[spoiler:When Sabo attempts to expose Imu's existence to the world, the ''entire island he's standing on'' is erased from existence - first literally, as the island is ''physically annihilated'' by a rain of lasers, and then figuratively, as it's deleted from all official maps and the Marines Sabo was trying to contact are told [[YouDidntSeeThat they received no communications]].]]

** People are rarely killed in ''Pokémon''. [[spoiler:Enter Pokémon Hunter J]], who is one of the few characters portrayed as being purely evil. So how do we dispose of her when karma catches up to her? [[spoiler:Why, having her airship blasted by Future Sight, falling into a giant whirlpool in the middle of a lake. As the airship gets submerged, have the windows break causing hundreds if not thousands of pounds of water rush in to crush her. If that didn't kill her, the airship exploding will]]. ''Pokémon'' may not kill often, but damned if they don't know how to make sure you die.

** When Grimmjow kills Luppi. Grimmjow first thrusts his arm through Luppi's chest, which would probably have meant that Luppi would have just bled to death if he let him, but then Grimmjow decides to go and blast off his upper body with a cero.

** [[BigBad DIO]] attempts to use this in the climax of his fight with Jotaro. [[TimeStandsStill Jotaro, frozen in place by The World,]] has precious few seconds to plan a defense against DIO, as most of his bones are broken, and he'll have [[MoveInTheFrozenTime a very short window of opportunity]] to defend himself. Expecting a flurry of knives or a physical rush, DIO instead [[CarFu throws a steamroller at him,]] before jumping on top of it and pummeling it into the ground onto Jotaro. Not to be outdone by himself, DIO in the OVA takes it UpToEleven by using an oil truck, which explodes in the ensuing RapidFireFisticuffs.
