Carolina Smash is an Ultimate Move performed by All Might and Deku using the One For All Quirk.[1]
Description#
The user prepares this attack by folding their arms into an "X" shape and diving toward their target. They then use the momentum to release an extreme amount force through a double chop attack on their opponent's chest.
All Might first used this move against the U.S.J. Nomu, but it was able to absorb the impact.[1] Carolina Smash's true power was showcased in All Might's battle with Wolfram, where it obliterated the villain's iron defense. All Might is also shown back during his time studying abroad in America, using this move that created wind pressure that redirected missiles to make them collide with each other.[2]
Deku used this technique when he launched a barrage of Ultimate Moves during his second fight with Dark Might.[3]
Trivia#
- Unlike other attacks, Carolina Smash does not directly refer to a single state in the U.S., but rather two: North and South Carolina. Given that this attack is a two-handed chop, it can be assumed that one hand represents one Carolina and the other hand represents the other.
- Carolina Smash is featured as a technique for All Might in Jump Force.
