Self-Destruct, also known as Exploder, Kamikaze, or Blowup, is a Blue Magic spell. It typically KOs the spell caster while doing large damage (sometimes Fire-elemental) to enemies. It is commonly used by Bombs and their ilk. Enemies that Self-Destruct usually result in no Experience Points, Gil, or items being awarded for defeating that enemy.

Bomb Blast is the name of the suicide attack for Bombs and Grenades in Final Fantasy VII. It deals heavy damage on one target. Self-Destruct is another suicide attack a lot like Bomb Blast. 2-Faced will either use Self-Destruct or Cure 3 on a member of the party as its final move before dying.
The Kamikaze command can be junctioned to a party member. It is initially learned by the Cactuar GF, but can be taught to any GF by using the Bomb Spirit item. It is one of the most powerful attacks in the game, with the ability to reach 60,000 points of damage at the cost of losing the character. The amount of damage done is equal to the character's Max HP multiplied by 6. Any GF junctioned to the user that is removed from the battle due to this ability will still receive EXP and AP.
Blowup is a spell only available to the Bomb enemy during the battle aboard the Prima Vista with Steiner.
