What are your favorite "Attacks"!

Post by RalphVboy »

Haven't posted in a bit so I figured I'd try a new topic ^_^

There's a lot of anime out there that involves fighting, techniques, etc. almost all of them involving names for the attacks. Often times the characters say the names too whenever performing their attacks. Some attack names are short, while some are ridiculously long (Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki, anyone? :P). Anywho I just named one o' my faves there, will list more later. What are your faves?

LOL This is a good one :) I like Kaoru's technique (esp fight vs Kamatari, I do not remember the technique name :( ) It looks like it is useful in real life :P :P

BTW I have "tried" amakakeru ryu no hirameki :P :P (remember, I did some battou as well ;) ) it is very very very hard and I do not think step the right foot is not really helps :( :( Just me though :P :P

Rouga fuufuu ken! I love Yamucha, and I love saying it out loud. And another that I love for the sheer wrongness of the attack name is "SHINING FINGER!" from G Gundam. Cracks me up EVERY SINGLE TIME.

"Shining Finger" is not nearly as crackupable as the more-powerful "Erupting Burning Finger!" :D A very cool move, but you have to smile when Domon yells it. :)

Then there is my favorite, "Sekiha Tenkyoken." It is only out-done by the ultimate kill move, "Sekiha Love Love Tenkyoken." (That actually makes sense if you've seen the end of G Gundam. ;))

My favorite attack has to be Pretty Samy's "Jukum Jukum no Serika Ray Sammy Davis Broiler Shizam!". The attack was used during the first Tenchi TV series where the whole crew gets blown into different dimensions, each one themed after the principle character. Sasami's world is themed after a typical 'shoujo anime' world with teenage girls in sailor type uniforms.

I love most any of Inuyasha's attacks, but I'd have to say I loved his Kongousouha! the most. In Japanese it gives me goosebumps, in English "Adamant Barrage!" sounds sooo lame! :roll:

Yes it sounds like it to me too, birdie.

I like MAGICIAN'S RED! The words that Abdul from JoJo's Adventure uses when he summons his power.
It just sounds really cool, especially with the background music and sound effects that accompany it

When it comes to attacks with English names, one of the best series is definitely Saint Seiya.
I can think of Milo's "Scarlet Needle", Muu's "Starlight Extinction", Camus' "Aurora Execution", Saga's "Another Dimension", Aldebaran's "Great Horn", Shaka's "Treasure of the Sky", and so on. They all look great.

An example below: Camus
