->'''Izuku:''' There's a bunch of reasons to name your attacks. Names act as a mnemonic device, conditioning our minds to perform the move, making it easier. It also can serve like a kiai, helping to distract an opponent and regulate breathing. And if you become famous and your moves are well known, you can call one move and use another to catch your opponent off guard. That one is a bit harder given the mnemonic conditioning part. Plus you can't do it too often, or the villains could get wise to it.
