Explosive Speed is an Ultimate Move performed by Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight using the Explosion Quirk.
Description#
Dynamight positions his hands in his opposing direction and emits explosions that propel him quickly forward. This technique generated enough speed for Dynamight to finish a 50-meter dash in just 4.13 seconds.[1] He often uses this move to maneuver himself through the air, granting him a pseudo form of flight.[2]
Dynamight used this move again during the U.A. Sports Festival Arc during the Cavalry Battle combined with Cellophane's Tape and Pinky's Acid to enhance the explosive propelling that gave Team Bakugo a huge burst of speed in order to catch up to Team Monoma and break pass Tsuburaba's Solid Air in order to take back their stolen headbands.[3]
During the First Term Final Exam, Dynamight uses this move to attack All Might but he bumped into Deku,[4] and later uses this move to get away from All Might after Deku blasted him after letting him borrow his Grenadier Bracers to get to the escape gate.[5] Dynamight uses a turbo version of this move during the Class 1-A Swimming Competition to get to first place in the first round.[6]
Later development of his Quirk allows Dynamight to use this Ultimate Move in combination with his Cluster technique, granting himself a major boost in speed and maneuverability. He first uses this inadvertently to defend Deku from Tomura Shigaraki during the Paranormal Liberation War,[7] and later purposefully to assist Best Jeanist.[8]

Explosive Speed: Cluster: Dynamight employs the Cluster technique to propel himself forward in a similar fashion to his Explosive Speed, but at a much faster rate, allowing him to catch up with extremely fast targets.[9]
