I think I need some explanations too. Welp at least it was funny. Cause it's fiction staged to be entertaining and easy to follow and comprehend, and not a documentary about efficience in martial arts. Also if you leave out all the random monologuing and attack name shouting, people will still complain, like about the HxH chimera ant arc.
The characters themselves explaining what's going on is bad, having a narrator do that job is even worse, and not having anything and just be 'show, don't tell' is the worst of it all because most people can't follow a straight line if the show doesn't spell it out for them. So in conclusion, you can never make people happy anyway. At least not all of them. Every method has people hating it. Imagine a scene where no one announces any of their moves. The major reason they do it for the benefit of the audience.
It helps the audience know what the character is doing. I mean, shouting attack names is an old as hell shounen trope. Kinda late to be baffled by it, wouldn't you say? I mean, it's an old Shounen trope, but there is also somewhat truth behind it. You are doing other, similar weird things in martial art sports to focus your concentration.
Anime combined both to give them a signatur move, I guess. It's still about concentration. Lol, yeah I've always found it really illogical. But it's definitely a must in a lot of Shounen stuff. Hypes us as viewers too. GEAR 4! Well I think one of the reasons is the translation from manga to anime.
In manga they have those big bold texts showing the name of the move,so they just have the characters shout out the name of the attack in the anime. Vivekananda said: fuyuki said: No idea. BatoKusanagi said: I mean, shouting attack names is an old as hell shounen trope. BlakexEkalb said: Imagine a scene where no one announces any of their moves. They have to assert their dominance just like wild animals. Giving hype? Make you wait for a little more? For example In the Austin Powers series, Austin always says "Judo chop!
Despite the fact that Judo is a martial art based on throwing people to the ground , and doesn't have chops. Other characters do this as well, such as Felicity Shagwell to Fat Bastard right before she kicks him the groin. This may be a spoof of the James Bond novel Goldfinger , where the villain describes Karate as "a branch of judo". It could be from a The Flintstones James Bond parody episode where Fred and Barney are hauling ass through a villain's secret base and plowing through the biggest Mooks with judo chops while yelling "A Judo Chop Chop!
It is only allowed in 'kata' drills or exercises. Its use in Austin Powers is a spoof of the fact that the "judo chop" was a now-narmish staple of '60s spy shows.
One player in The Gamers calls a shot to the groin, but as he calls it to the DM, this is an out-of-universe example. Spider-Man : Magic! Magic with a kick! Sorcerous Stabber Orphen : Any time when anyone casts a magical spell.
Sword of Light is a popular one. Justified by the fact that the magic human sorcerers wield is powered by their voice. This trope is partially subverted by the fact that it doesn't really matter what word is used. Example: Belgarath: Push? Garion: You said to say push. Belgarath: I said to push. I didn't say to say push. Garion: It [the rock] went over. What difference does it make what word I used? Belgarath: It's a question of style. Push sounds so?
After all, Garion, we do have a certain dignity to maintain. If we go around saying "push" or "flop" or things like that, no one's ever going to take us seriously. Even if most of the time, the attack is pure Stock Footage.
This crazy thing can be seen here in French. Shotaro: Listen, we've got to get the timing right. It's "Rider Twin Maximum"! Terui surprised : Me too? Philip nodding : You too. Generally, it can occur in any live gig when the lead singer announces his fellows on the instruments. Hibria's "Tiger Punch" has a chorus like this: "Tiii-geeer punch and lightspeed attack!
So does but with a German accent, naturally Tom Liwa of the Flowerpornoes it's not porn, it's the band's name on "Titelstory gegen ganzseitige Anzeige". In Sequinox. It comes with the territory of them being magical girls. Summer: Misirlou Beach Blast! Autumn: Autumn Razor Wind! Winter: Arctic Desert Freezing! Spring: Passionate Pollen Breeze! The Combat Commentator version is present in most promotions of Professional Wrestling , with the ringside commentators talking about the move, its history, and how utterly devastating it is.
As well, most wrestlers, while not explicitly calling their signature moves, do have a particular pose or set-up they perform to signal it. The late Mr. Perfect actually did call his signature move, turning towards the camera and saying, "Now, you're going to see a Perfect-Plex," before executing the maneuver. This would inevitably give his opponent more than enough time to recover and beat the tar out of him.
Wrestlers frequently "signal" the impending move with signature gestures Ex: Shawn Michaels will "Tune Up The Band" — a long, drawn out, ring stomp — before attempting his "Sweet Chin Music" superkick. Bret Hart , eternally characterised as a master technician, used a variation of this with his Five Moves of Doom — "calling" his Sharpshooter by using the same group of setup moves in sequence.
It's now common enough to have become a trope of its own. One of The Undertaker 's signature moves as the Deadman is walking on the ropes while holding one of his opponent's arms and leaping off the ropes and hitting him. From to he would wrestle as a Badass Biker and would allude to his past by shouting "Old School" when he did the same maneuver.
The Rock's People's Elbow Nuff Said! In the indies, it isn't uncommon for wrestlers to literally yell out the name of the move they're about to hit before executing it. Or attempting to, as the case may be. Christopher Daniels , for instance, sometimes shouts "Angel's Wings! One of Matt Sydal 's finishers is simply known as "Here It Is", or, if you want to get cute, "The 'Here It Is' Driver" Normally, a Money-in-the-Bank briefcase holder will cash in on a vulnerable champion, usually after they were in an exhausting match or were attacked brutally by someone they were feuding with.
A few wrestlers, however, would announce their intention to cash in the briefcase and give the champion advance notice. Rob Van Dam was the first to do this, presumably to give John Cena a reason to be at the event Van Dam wanted to win the title at. Daniel Bryan would say he was going to do this and said he would wait until WrestleMania to cash in, but changed his mind after becoming a victim of numerous beatdowns.
Cena himself would announce his intention to cash in a week before he did, but this would cost him as he won the match but not the title due to disqualification victory. Damien Sandow would be the most recent to do this, and he would also end up losing his cash in the match. The Beautiful People 's signature double team move, "Holla! Because it's John Cena; the guy who turned his own "five moves" into an Ascended Meme. And of course, he would. Radio, being radio, often requires Narrating the Obvious.
In many live-action roleplaying games , it is necessary to call the damage done by an attack before it lands. Similarly, it is sometimes necessary in LARP events to call out specific attacks. For instance, a backstab might do 5 damage, but the dagger would only do 1; in that case, the player might be required to say "Backstab — 5" instead of only the damage dealt to inform the victim he's not cheating.
Calling out attacks is also used in LARPs that have magic; since there is no actual effect, and since the effects can be more elaborate than simple damage a sleep spell, for instance , spell names and effects need to be called out. Lightning bolt! Aimee : Hailey, you mind not giving each of your attacks a name? It sounds In kendo, naginata, and similar arts, one must call out the body part one intends to strike as the blow hits, or one does not receive points for the hit. Then there's the story which claims Babe Ruth pointed to the center field bleachers at Wrigley Field in Chicago in the fifth inning of Game Three of the World Series.
On the next pitch, he hit a home run over the center field bleachers. Newsreels of the game do show Ruth pointing right before he hit the home run, but it's not clear where exactly he pointed. In "8-ball" pocket billiards, when you are permitted to sink the 8-ball which is after all balls of your pattern have been sunk , you must invoke this trope and call the pocket you're going to sink the 8-ball into.
If you sink the 8 but into the wrong pocket, you lose. This is also required in snooker when rules are being strictly adhered to. When potting a 'colour' i. If your cueball strikes a different colour first, or you accidentally pot the wrong colour, then it counts as a foul shot. In Straight Pool the game featured in The Hustler players can shoot at any ball on the table, but must declare the ball and pocket in advance. Failure to pot the ball, or potting in the wrong pocket, or potting the wrong ball entirely, ends the player's turn.
The order of the panels depends on the overall layout. The back-and-forth shouts between the villain and protagonist helps the reader determine the order of the panels. These conventions carry over to anime despite not being necessary.
Anime uses color and design to better distinguish between characters. It is also linear. However, there are times when shouting an attack helps clarify what is going on.
Shonen stories love the exchange of names between fighters. For those of us in the West, this seems silly. Our military heritage stresses killing or subduing an opponent above all other concerns. Our military history teems with nameless casualties of war. We practice total war. That is, complete destruction of an enemy and their ability to make war. Rome can be thanked for that. When Rome finally destroyed its rival city Carthage in the Third Punic War BC , Rome razed the city, killing and enslaving the entire population of the city.
Japan had its own version of total war that appeared at various times through its history. However, Japanese military tradition focused on individual conflicts of honor rather than complete destruction of a rival. In the early years of the samurai, rivals would face off in well-mannered duels rather than as enemies.
This is similar to how duels were handled in Victorian England and colonial America. Ho, I am Kajiwara Heizo Kagetoki, descended in the fifth generation from Gongoro Kagemasa of Kamakura, renowned warrior of the East Country and match for any thousand men.
At the age of sixteen. Early samurai gained honor by collecting the heads of their challengers. This allowed their lords and fellow samurai to see the people they defeated. The more honor an opponent had, the more honor you gained when you killed him.
Over time these customs faded as armies grew in size and foot soldiers from the peasant class began to dominate the ranks, but the ideals continued in literature. And it is from this literature manga pulled the habit of battlefield introductions. Bleach and Naruto serve as good examples of this literary convention.
