St. Louis Smash (セントルイス スマッシュ, Sento Ruisu Sumasshu^?) is a Super Move performed by Izuku Midoriya using the One For All Quirk.

Description

Izuku propels himself off the ground into the air above his opponent and arches his leg back. He uses Shoot Style to focus One For All into his leg before swinging it around and delivering a strong vertical roundhouse kick to his opponent's face.

A direct hit is powerful enough to incapacitate Gentle Criminal while empowered by La Brava's Lover Mode. Combined, with Katsuki's Explode-A-Pult move, Izuku uses the burst of momentum and performs St. Louis Smash in the form of a diving front kick.
