Stop spreading stupidity.

'Chesto' is a pretty common kiai, a yell, used by martial artists and swordsmen. As I understand, it helps you breathe correctly when swinging a heavy object (-And- has the added effect of making you sound like a badass, if you do it right). You know. Like a zankantou.

Or a tiger fist, if you happen to be Brooklyn Luckfield.

@xXLordXElarenXx Super Robot Wars Original Generations, for the PS2.

Might say Taisen instead of Wars, depending on where you look, though. That's because Atlus's localizations say "Super Robot Taisen" instead of "Super Robot Wars." To avoid a copyright, funnily enough.

But, yeah, Original Generations is an enhanced port of Original Generation 1 and 2 (both of which got a US release on the GBA), so if you do wanna get the story of the games, I'd recommend you play those first.

what system is this and what game

1:26 - 1:33 instant kill. Not even Stern Regisseur could have survived being blasted into the sun with such a powerful impact like that.

@TubeTAG I never implied it wasn't a loanword, but as to it being a "common" kiai, that was what I have been told, and it's common enough to get a verbatim mention on Japanese wikipedia (I believe it mentioned it was common to Kagoshima dialect?), but perhaps it's not so common. Regardless of its actual level of use, I hardly think that was the point of my post from two years ago, so it's a bit moot to try to argue the detail. I think what we should do is just enjoy the Super Robot Wars, myself.

[TubeTAG]

@ArkRiley Fair enough as far as it being used in the anime "as" a Kiai. That, however, does not make it a "common" kiai as you originally asserted, nor does it mean it's not a loan word. :)

[ArkRiley]

@TubeTAG Moreover, the kiai is found written in katakana on Japanese wikipedia as チェスト (It's on the main チェスト page, which lists a number of definitions. It's in the fifth, miscellaneous section). Moreover still, if Bullet or Sanger had been referring to striking the chest, as in Kendo, it would make much more sense to use the Kendo "dou" to refer to it, as G Gundam hero and SRW peer Domon Kasshu sometimes does for his Shining Finger Sword.

[ArkRiley]

@TubeTAG Actually, the "good guess" would be yours. The kiai "chesto" is normally written with katakana- you need look no further than Bullet's peer and mentor, Sanger, for whom the cry is universally written in katakana despite his other kiais being written in hiragana. You could theoretically argue that it's because he'd be hitting the chest, but that seems a bit strange when he strikes through the head.

SRW Alpha 2's version

[TubeTAG]

@ArkRiley That would be a good guess, normally, but in this case you're wrong. I'm not sure how familiar you are with Japanese alphabets, but all of the kiai's that are in the scene use hiragana. That phrase uses Katakana, which is usually used for loan words. And like Zaku is saying, it's more than likely him yelling Chest, while he, well... Drives into his chest with an attack. Similar to like how in Kendo, the attackers will yell their target (Men/Head, Te/Hand, etc.) when they attack.

Kai does the Sword Attack so calm, i cannot believe it's the same person who does the GESPENST KICK !!

i don't care who you are being fired into the sun is an instant KO
