==Etymology and localization==
==Trivia==
Bashiruura is derived from ''ruura'', the Japanese name for the [[Zoom]] spell. The meaning behind this is that zoom is being cast on the user's enemies, hence the total removal from battle. How the spell can be used indoors is never fully explained, with the assumption being that the spell either generates enough force to break through walls and ceilings to expel the target or warps space to teleport the victim away from the caster. The latter interpretation was used in the [[Dragon Quest Monsters +]] manga.

On the other side of the Pacific, the spell is unique in that it simultaneously possesses two localization names under [[Square Enix]]. First localized as Blasto for the 2005 release of ''DQ VIII'', it was assumed this would be the new term associated with it until the 2011 release of the {{DS}} remake of ''DQ VI''. In that script it was dubbed Bazoom, being a more faithful adaptation of the wordplay found in the original Japanese version. In 2014, the [[Cell phone]] localization of ''DQ III'' reverted back to the Blasto term, which was reverted back from yet again in the {{3DS}} remake of ''DQ VII'' in 2016. Currently, Bazoom is the latest term associated with the spell.
