AP Shot (徹甲弾 (A・P・ショット) Ē-Pī Shotto?, lit. Armor-Piercing Shot) is an Ultimate Move performed by Katsuki Bakugo using the Explosion Quirk.

Description[]

By focusing his Explosion path into a single point, rather than a wider blast fired from his whole palm, Katsuki is able to produce a concentrated blast that can successfully pierce through solid concrete.

Katsuki performs AP Shot by forming his hand into a circle and places it on his other palm. He then shoots his explosion through the circle in order to keep the attack focused on a fixed point.[1] It was developed during his training at Gym Gamma.[1] He uses this move later to defeat Dictator from above, saving Izuku Midoriya.[2]
