Shinigami Chop (死神チョップ, Shinigami Choppu) is one of Death's signature attacks.[1]

Overview[]

The user raises an arm and delivers a powerful, karate chop to the target. Depending on the user and strength, it can be used for disciplinary reasons or more serious intents capable of injuring higher beings such as a Kishin.[2]

Notoriety[]

This technique is especially well known within the students and staff in the DWMA as a punishment technique. Medusa Gorgon even once admitted to having feared being on the receiving end of the Shinigami Chop, doing what she could as a school nurse to avoid being subjected to the chop.[3] The Shinigami Chop itself has a mock-like copy which various students in the DWMA perform. This may result from a student that displays actions another may find bothersome. It also has given inspiration for other chops used by character, replacing the foam gloves with a hand instead.[citation needed]

Variations[]

Trivia[]

  • The waves produced from a Shinigami Chop are capable of cutting through space and time.[4]
