Undoubtedly, the most powerful strikes are turning kicks because of the added torque from the kick. These can easily a knock out if the strike is to the head, and can easily break the "floating" ribs (assuming no padding is being used).

Elbows come into a close second because of how hard the surface of the elbow is. On thinner skin such as around the skull, a good elbow can easily cause a large gash or a concussion.

The most powerful karate strike is generally considered to be the reverse punch (gyaku zuki) when executed with proper technique, speed, and alignment. This strike generates power from the rotation of the hips and shoulders, maximizing the impact delivered to the target. Additionally, the focus, precision, and fluidity of the technique contribute to its effectiveness.
