Default Re: Is shouting "Ka-Me-Ha-Me-Ha" even necessary?

The time Piccolo used the Makankosappo against Nappa, he didn't speak it (and people often miss it anyway). Goku didn't declare the Kamehameha he used against #19, and so on.

But it's not like Dragonball is intended to be like the real world or all that realistic. It's fanservice to have the characters shout the attacks, and it's always fun to hear it. "RAWK ON, SIGNATURE MOVE BABY!!!".

Death Beam was never given a name in the Anime or Manga, only the Video Games. That's why it was never shouted.
This is also so very true. So pretty much they add it on inthe dubs to make it more exiting as an added on effect to the viewer?

Ah yes, I do remember that. But yeah, I just think as a saiyan perfects the technique over time, they have more control, y'know? But yeah it is all about how focused the person is.
