I thought of this a while ago and I quite enjoy it, so I'm not sure why I didn't write it down sooner, especially when there are so few Enhancement Hatsu's:

Name: Taurus Charge (Armoured Titan)

Nen Type: Enhancement

Description: In short, the user uses their momentum in order to generate an enormous amount of Aura and throws themselves at an object, creating enormous damage to their environment and themselves. Now to go into more detail.

As I have said, the amount of aura generated and hence the damage they are able to do is based solely off their momentum; in this case Momentum = Velocity x Mass. Therefore the more mass a user has and the faster they are travelling, the more momentum they will build and the more damage they will do. Because of this, the user would most likely have a build similar to Uvogin's, extremely tall, broad shouldered and covered with muscle. This would most likely, however, come with a trade-off, as a greater mass would need more energy to accelerate, hence it would be harder to pick up velocity and it would take longer to build up their momentum. While it would also be possible to reduce their mass in order to increase their velocity, this would be extremely detrimental to the user's health, as I will explain.

The Hatsu is in fact based off the move bulb tackle from Pokemon and the Armoured Titan from Attack on Titan(Hence the name), and it would both look and act like a combination of the two in practice. This in tandem to what I had said earlier would mean that the user must pick up a massive amount of speed and essentially throw themselves at their target, creating a massive explosion in the process. Whilst it would be possible to generate similar damage if the user were small and quick, it would also cause massive amounts of damage to the user also, and may even kill them; because of this, the hatsu could only be used to it's fullest by an extremely large, muscular and more importantly, sturdy individual.

This would, of course, make building up velocity difficult, so the user would most likely have to begin running some distance away and slowly accelerate until they reached their maximum velocity, and hence momentum, as their mass would stay constant. As you may imagine, this would be fairly impractical in battle, but a more appropriate example would be of a Phantom Troupe Member breaking through waves of authorities before smashing into a supposedly unbreachable safe and utterly demolishing the layers of steel and concrete.

Limitations:

Most of the limitations are specified above, but I'll repeat and state new ones here:

1) The Hatsu will only activate once a certain velocity has been reached; this velocity will stay constant regardless of the users mass.

2) The mass in the momentum calculation only counts for the users own mass, so even if they are carrying extra weight in the form of armour etc, they will not generate anymore aura.

3) The velocity in the momentum calculation can only be generated by the user or gravity, meaning they can't just hitch a ride in a fast car and speed into the side of a wall, but they can jump from the atmosphere.
