why を is put after a verb in いまだかつてないスピードで　君のもとへダイブを?


I came across a line of lyrics which goes like this:

> いまだかつてないスピードで 君【きみ】のもとへダイブを.

And I wonder why を is put after ダイブ? I know that を can only be put after the
noun to express that the noun is the object. But here ダイブ is used as a verb,
isn't it?




Grammatically and syntactically speaking, ダイブ in your sample text cannot be a
verb -- there is nothing verb-like about it.

Japanese verbs **require** a verb ending. In the plain non-past form, that
ending is always _-u_ , so theoretically, _daibu_ might be a verb, with past
tense _dainda_ and polite form _daibimasu_ , for instance.

  * However, in such cases, the conjugation ending is pretty much always spelled in hiragana, as we see with verbs like サボる or ググる. I am not aware of any foreign-borrowed word spelled entirely in katakana and conjugated as a verb all on its own.

Sometimes we can _make_ a verb out of such a word, but in that case what we
wind up with is technically a verb phrase: we have the noun, and we stick the
all-purpose verb する ("to do") on the end. Examples include things like
勉強【べんきょう】する ("to study", or directly, "to do studying") or ハイキングする ("to hike",
or more directly, "to do hiking").

  * But then again, your sample text has no form of する after the ダイブ, so we know this way too that ダイブ cannot be a verb.

In modern everyday Japanese, the particle を is used pretty much just to mark
the object of a verb. Objects can be nouns or noun phrases.

  * This is one more grammatical clue that the ダイブ here must be a noun.
