{{Nihongo|'''Black Hole Bomb'''|ブラックホールボム|Burakku Hōru Bomu}} is [[Galaxy Man]]'s [[Special Weapon]] in ''[[Mega Man 9]]''. [[Mega Man (character)|Mega Man]] (or [[Proto Man]]) fires a small orb that can be controlled with the directional pad up and down. It can be detonated by using the fire button, which creates a black hole that pulls nearby enemies and enemy projectiles to it. It can suck in almost any small or medium-sized enemy, regardless of if they're invulnerable to the [[Mega Buster]] or are temporarily invulnerable -including minions summoned by bosses such as [[Splash Woman]] and [[Hornet Man]]-, which instantly defeats them, as well as suck in most projectiles, also including the ones shot by many bosses like the [[Wily Machine 9|Wily Machine]] and [[Wily Capsule]]. Enemies too large to be sucked in will take four points of damage instead, though will only take damage again if they are outside the blast radius after they have previously taken damage. Only one black hole can be present on-screen at once.

'''Black Hole Bomb''' is the weapon [[Mega Man]] gets from [[Galaxy Man]] in [[Mega Man 9]]. It creates a black hole that pulls nearby enemies and enemy fire to it. It can also be controlled by the user via the d-pad and opened (detonate) up by pressing the fire button again. The Black Hole Bomb is [[Jewel Man]]'s weakness, because it sucks in his [[Jewel Satellite]]. The Black Hole Bomb remains on screen for quite some time, which is most useful against Jewel Man, as positioning it just right will cause him to get hit by it multiple times with a single shot.

Not to be confused with Black Hole.

Black Hole Bomb (ブラックホールボム Burakku Hōru Bomu) is Galaxy Man's Special Weapon in Mega Man 9. Mega Man (or Proto Man) fires a small orb that can be controlled with the directional pad up and down. It can be detonated by using the fire button, which creates a black hole that pulls nearby enemies and enemy projectiles to it. It can suck in almost any small or medium-sized enemy, regardless of if they're invulnerable to the Mega Buster or are temporarily invulnerable -including minions summoned by bosses such as Splash Woman and Hornet Man-, which instantly defeats them, as well as suck in most projectiles, also including the ones shot by many bosses like the Wily Machine and Wily Capsule. Enemies too large to be sucked in will take four points of damage instead, though will only take damage again if they are outside the blast radius after they have previously taken damage. Only one black hole can be present on-screen at once.

The Black Hole Bomb is Jewel Man's weakness, and also sucks in his Jewel Satellite. The black hole remains on screen for quite some time, and positioning it just right will cause him to get hit by it multiple times with a single shot.
