OneShot: (Grins)Hey, how come all of you senshi girls have to call out the names
of your special attacks?

(The five senshi look at each. None of them said a word)

OneShot: Are your special attack voice activated or something? Usagi, does that
scepter only respond to your voice?

Usagi: ............

OneShot: If it's voice activated, then that would probably explain alot.

Ami: Well, actually, it isn't voice activated. None of our moves are voice
activated.

OneShot: So how come you say it? Doesn't calling out the attacks allow the
enemies to predict exactly what attack you plan on using on them?

Makoto: (Thinks for a moment)Hey, you have a point there.

OneShot: (More to himself)Hm, but then again....if you don't say the attacks,
then it'll be a lot harder for people to know what special attack you executed. 

(The girls say nothing)

OneShot: (Shrugs his shoulder)Oh well, I was just curious. That's all. Sorry for
bothering you. Bye.



Hey, haven't you ever wanted to ask that? Oh well, feel free to pummel me now.

	I always took the focus view, that are novices at what they do and 
therefore use the attack names to make the real practice of the attack easier.  
The attacks don't require any thing but thinking properly, but the ritual's of 
standing in the proper stance and saying the attack phrases makes it easier to 
invoke the technique.
