Dragon Quest VI[]
Making its debut, it is learned by advancing to rank 6 of the Martial Artist vocation, and tries to inflict a fatal strike to instantly kill one enemy, but deals 50% melee damage if it fails. It costs 0 MP to use, but cannot be used on Metal slime monsters.
Dragon Quest VII[]
Learned as a hybrid skill of the Thief and Martial Artist vocations, it acts the same as in VI, but is learned the same way in the 3DS remake, due to the abolishment of hybrid skills. It costs 0 MP to use once again.

While not in the game, it is used in some form by the Death scorpions in their Critical aim (急所狙い) skill.
Dragon Quest IX[]
Learned by investing 22 skill points into the Spear skill tree, it now costs 3 MP to use, but otherwise acts the same as in its previous appearances, with the exception that its success rate is no longer dependent on the whack resistance rates. It can now be used against Metal slime monsters, which is essential for clearing the Operation Mercury sidequest by using it against 3 Metal medleys, and is also used by Deadcurions in battle.
