Trivia

  • The Japanese name of this move, ダメおしDameoshi (Make Sure), if literally translated, can be read as "useless push", once the termdameoshi is the combination of the wordsダメdame (no good; useless; hopeless) andおしoshi (pushing). This might explain its move animations displaying hands pushing the target.
  • In sumo wrestling, the termdameoshi refers to the act of pushing an opponent who was already defeated. This practice is not well regarded because it can cause serious injuries to a target who is unready once the result of the match has already been decided.
