What Is an Anime Attack Name?
An anime attack name is the name a character shouts while using a special move, such as Kamehameha in Dragon Ball or Rasengan in Naruto. The habit is so common that fans call it calling your attacks. Shouting the name tells the audience what the move does and makes the moment feel bigger.
Many Japanese attack names join kanji words into a short phrase. For example, a name can join an element, an image, and a technique, such as kaen (flame), ryu (dragon), and zan (slash). English dubs and Western anime-style games often use English names built the same way, such as Crimson Dragon Slash.

4 Quick Tips for Naming an Anime Attack
- Lead with the element. Starting with the element, such as Kaen (flame) or Frost, tells the audience what is coming.
- Add a creature. Dragons, wolves, and phoenixes make an attack sound mighty, as in Inazuma Ryu Zan.
- Keep it shoutable. An attack name works best when a character can shout it in 1 breath, with 3 short words or fewer.
- Save the big words for the finale. Words like Ougi (secret art) and Requiem suit a final move.
