{argh. Pet peeve: the KTA isn't an attack at all, and not a called
attack. It's a training method: master the KTA, get fast. Cologne was
surprised when Ranma adapted the speed granted him by KTA training for >a multiple-punch attack. I know it's in the anime, but that's because >the animators got it wrong. I think you gain less by using it than you >lose by disgusting manga-fans.}

Hee. It's a bit weird to comment on someone else's comment, but this struck me as something to ask. While I can relate to the manga more than the anime, and the fact that the anime took the KTA technique (among other things)out of context, what else can he shout when he does multiple punches that will have the same affect as Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken? "HUNKA-HUNKA BUNCHA-PUNCHES"!? Sorry, Grayson ^o^v.

I think, if anything, it's just a way to express the power behind the technique, a raging battle cry that all anime characters must do to signify an attack. Where would Goku be without his "KAMEHAMEHA", or Kenshin without his "Ryu Tsui Sen"?

Oh, and Phil? Besides Ryoga's "critter" comment (heh), another great chapter. I've almost forgotten which demonspawn I'm supposed to be cheering for...
