I'd rather see what the eventual Krillin/18 climactic beam attack scene would be.

Roshi: Krillin! The f*ck did ya do to mah roof— oh. (perverted old man laughter)

I feel like at some point after the time skip we'll find out the Krillin owned meter has gone up by a few hundred.

Because 18 has owned Krillin that much. In bed.

(I'm sorry.)

Does 18 have any named attacks?

Because I'm wondering if maybe she should be the one to...you know...

Just to switch things up a bit?

[up]Nope. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like names of attacks more or less started to be phased out by the Buu Saga (save for attacks that naturally already had names). Last character to seriously create names for his attack was Gotenks and that was to highlight how much of a joke character he was.

If by phased out you mean there were less new attacks being made to give names...you'd be correct.

[up] That's what I mean. Even in Super it seems like the more elaborately designed attacks aren't actually given names.

the video games gave names to everything.

Remember those iconic moves like Change The Future, Dirty Fireworks, Power Blitz, and Heat Dome Attack?

My favorite is Holstein Shock.

I just love that that's a technique with a name.

The video games giving names to everything gets both weird and awesome, and sometimes awesome-and-weird. A lot about what the video games emphasize is weird, but I guess in some instances they have to cover for a lack of other things (like with Nappa. I doubt that finger flip of his was initially intended to be some kind of signature technique)

I'd rather see what the eventual Krillin/18 climactic beam attack scene would be.

Given that Krillin's signature move is the Kienzan...

Though he does have that energy blast that separates into a bunch of other energy blasts.

Raditz's days of the week theming came from the games, which I appreciate.

It's pretty funny just how few attacks are actually named in the first place. They did it a lot back in the tournaments, but they kind of stopped after the Saiyans, really. Except for Vegeta. Because of course Vegeta would name his attacks.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!

The video games name moves because it gives players a way to label them with is very convenient

Oh definitely. Nobody wants their movelist to be populated with "Vegeta Ki Blast #97", or "that thing Bardock failed to hit Freeza with." The names are a good idea, and also fairly creative. I just also think they're funny.

Apparently the original idea came from Toriyama's notes with Double Sunday and the games ran with it.
