True Naming as a magic system in and of itself was something Ursula K. Le Guin popularized with her Earthsea books - though it originates in deeply old real-world religious and folk practices - by knowing the True Name of a subject, object, or phenomena mages gain power over it. It's an interesting system, largely because while it gives its mages so much fundamental power over the world the main concern of the story is acquiring the wisdom necessary to not abuse it.
It's also present in the kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan, for the Egyptian mages. Although it s not their main system and is more an ultimate trump card(if an ennemy has your true name he just has you dead to rights , while it requires immense trust to give it to an ally since it says everything about you
Doug Ramsey AKA Cypher. He’s a X-Man (New Mutant to be exact 🤓) with the ability to speak any language. A much more nerfed version of what this guy can do but it’s the closest I can think of. Great video by the way. Love you talk about the greater Type Moon lore.
There's an anime called "is that a zombie" in which the necromancer who resurrects the main character refuses to speak and only writes to communicate because any noise she verbally makes causes the world to change accordingly. The villain is actually a side effect casualty of her words because she tells him to live and then disappears and he was no longer able to die. So he watched everyone he knew and love die over the years and went crazy. Which is why she becomes essentially mute cause she's afraid of the side effects of her words.
There is this character from the Bleach series named Ichibei who is the leader of the Royal Guard aka the Zero Division. He has the ability to manipulate the names of others, changing them however he wants and effecting his target's strength because of the change in name. An example is during his fight with the Quincy King, he changes the King's name to "Ant"; the King literally becomes as strong as an actual 🐜 😅.
There a character in Jujutsu Kaisen that's haves a ability thats allows him to use his voice to fight, however due to this he can't have normal conversation with people and can only talk via saying the ingredients of onigiri.
Ahh, it’s probably a binding vow he did. That might explain why, in order to be able to talk, or.. well, in order for it to be strong, he had to give something up.
@@JustAutistic no… his ct is simply just powered through his words, so anything he says (if it can be interpreted as a “command”) makes the individual act it out or whatever. Unless Gege decides to change that bc for some reason there’s literally no info on the cursed speech users clan.
12:03 so many japanese mages are connected to the root from the get go, it it just because it's an island so it's age of gods ended closer to the modren era?
True name magic is also featured in the kingslayer chronicles. Where the scum bag protagonist spent a great deal of time trying to wrestle the wind's true name from a even more scumbag mage.
Quescion what is gate of babelon limit from my understanding it contain sum total of human knolage it has wepons and some technology but what about more abstrakt tuning like marsial art are ther some book the same with music or is stram lind to his head what about one of a cind like gem sword 7 taboos and back to abstrakt thing tsunama geisi or muashi technik its in his head is three a book of scroll or a enchanted sword with the technik?

In adventure time thenlitch speaks commands at opponents forcing them to do what he says in the one word
Even Studio Ghibli used that once, if I'm not wrong. There was a guy who told his True Name to a witch and she took over him or something.

Classic anime right there~
I remember seeing a few episodes but wasn't for me that time.

"Farewell, King of Bugs"

"Bonito flakes" "Salmon"
Ohh inumaki I see

He doesn't use his voice to fight he uses absolute commands to fight. If he says gun people don't get shot.

I always learn something new from your video
medakas box had an entire power system around language towards the ending of the manga
Amazing video
The closest I’ve seen to this ability is Cursed Speech from JJK and Divine Words from the Kane Chronicles
This reminds me of the powers from the anime “Uncle from Another World”.
Bro could fr say naw I’d win and he’d win like wtf is that
MGS5 uses language as a weapon.

Soooo Sasaki as badass as he was in fate was still nerfed to this point?
His name is Satsuki. Not Sasaki as in "Sasaki Kojiro".
The character who shares the same name as him is Satsuki Yumizuka from the Tsukihime series.
@@TheLunarMythos yeah, what u said. As long as u get the point
@Tsiah IV so he’s aizen with words?
God lore?
where can i read this?
It's on Beast Lair under "Translation" -> "Kara no Kyoukai 6: Oblivion Recording [Translation]"
Hold up tho if you’re deaf does this even work on you, like I can’t hear the world around me so him talking to it shouldn’t matter no?
