The Ultimate Hellfire Burst Wave Motion Cannon is renowned as one of King’s most formidable bluff techniques. Although King himself was unaware of its existence, the Hero Association considered it to be the S-Class Hero’s ultimate finishing move.

Therefore, when King found himself facing two powerful members of the Monster Association – Platinum Sperm and Evil Natural Water – Child Emperor insisted that he use his ultimate technique. Luckily, Garou’s unexpected interference convinced everyone that King had indeed unleashed his devastating move.
