Anime: Called attacks

[Arcane Azmadi]

See Calling Your Attacks [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CallingYourAttacks] for more information.

While it's more an incantation for a world-altering effect than a single called attack, there can STILL BE ONLY ONE!

I am the bone of my sword.
Steel is my body and fire is my blood.
I have created over a thousand blades.
Unknown to death,
nor known to life.
Have withstood pain to create many weapons.
Yet those hands will never hold anything.
So as I pray,
UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS.​

And if you think THAT'S cool, wait until the movie version rolls around.

And if you think THAT'S cool, wait until the movie version rolls around.

Or the parody version. "Lyrical Grade" magical attacks indeed.

Ruroni Kenshin is my favorite anime, so thier called attacks are some of my favorites. Heck, they usually not only call out the name, the call out the style as well. I can't find a video of it, but in the fight against Shishio, Kenshin not only calls out some of his usual attacks, he even makes one up (as far as we know) by combining two.

I can't really think of a favorite call of Kenshin's most of his are equally awsome, but when he finally got his sword and fought Cho the sword hunter, taking him out in one move, was extremely epic.

Yet I'd have to say that the english version of Inuyasha's moves are the best. They're all very...elegant or poetic in the way they sound. Well most of them, anyway. I mean "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer" rhymes. But most of them have really interesting "calls."

I've always wondered why on some of the longer "incantations" that the speaker didn't get stabbed/slapped/whatever to interrupt it.

ohh hohohohohoh.
G Gundam Shining Finger

and the

Spoiler: Rurouni Kenshin Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki

Used in one of the most epic fights iv ever seen in an Manga or anime.
Using the Force of your own swing to create a Vacuum, pulling your opponent to you, and then using the same force to increase the Velocity and slashing power of your strike?
Awesome......pure awesome.

My personal favourite attacks would be.

The Cero Blast from Bleach.

Spoiler

The Giga drill breaker. It's such an epic attack.

Itachi's Amaterasu from Naruto Shippudden. I stopped watching the show, but when I heard that the Sasuke vs Itachi fight was about to happen I decided to watch it.

Spoiler

Finally the sprit bomb from dragonball Z.

Animu characters are making a movie.

They aren't very good at it.

This is alright in an animé but in a video game when you're constantly spamming attacks, calling them out every single time is a one-way ticket to insanityville. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

Since this is the only anime that I have seen, I'm going to say this. (just watched the intro ... thats far too much cheese for one intro)

Does anybody remember card captors? Thats the only other one I have ever watched, shame it got cut off.
