==Localization history==
==Localization history==
Kazapstrophe is the current English name of the Japanese ミナデイン, which had previously been localized as [[Kazapple]] in the fourth through seventh mainline games. The Kazapple name would simultaneously be used in the ''Joker'' and ''Joker 2'' entries of the ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters (series)|Dragon Quest Monsters spin-offs]]'' to refer to ジゴデイン, the highest-ranking Lightning spell in those titles, of which ミナデイン did not appear.
This spell was originally named Kazapple. However, there was another fourth-tier lightning spell called [[Kazapple]] on other games, which is actually ジゴデイン ''Jigodein'' in the original Japanese naming.
On {{DQ11}}, as both ''Minadein'' and ''Jigodein'' were present, they decided to name this one Kazapstrophe instead to lessen the confusion of two spells with the same name.


The Kazapple name would be applied once more to ミナデイン in the second ''Heroes'' game, thereafter it would be reserved for ジゴデイン to match the ka- and -le naming convention used by the other spell families. With both ミナデイン and ジゴデイン appearing in the eleventh mainline game, the localized name of Kazapstrophe was invented to separate the two spells in English.

Kazapstrophe marks the first appearance of the ミナデイン spell after a 17 year absence, and is learned by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Hero]] as per tradition. Rather than requiring MP as before, the spell needs all four casters to be [[Pep|pepped up]], and the Hero must already know [[Kazap]]. The power is dependent on the sum of the party's [[magical might]]. The spell starts out dealing 690~750 lightning damage to all foes, and starts increasing in power once the sum of the participants magical might reaches 527, peaking at dealing 1410~1470 damage when the total magical might of the users reaches 1986.
Appears as a [[Pep power]] performed by 4 characters including the {{Hero 11}} (providing he knows [[Kazap]]).
* The numbers 527 and 1986 are a clever reference to the publishing date of the [[Dragon Quest|quest that started it all]]: May twenty-seventh, 1986.
Deals lightning damage to all enemies, damage is scaled by the total [[Magical Might]] of the characters, and can go up to 1500.
 
An evil version of the spell is used by [[Calasmos]] during the final battle, known as [[Chaotic Kazapstrophe]].

Kazapstrophe is a Lightning-element spell that requires the cooperation of the whole party to cast.

Localization history[edit | edit source]

This spell was originally named Kazapple. However, there was another fourth-tier lightning spell called Kazapple on other games, which is actually ジゴデイン Jigodein in the original Japanese naming. On Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age, as both Minadein and Jigodein were present, they decided to name this one Kazapstrophe instead to lessen the confusion of two spells with the same name.

Appears as a Pep power performed by 4 characters including the Hero (providing he knows Kazap). Deals lightning damage to all enemies, damage is scaled by the total Magical Might of the characters, and can go up to 1500.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional[edit | edit source]

ミナデイン was added in the Professional version of the game. It drains the entire party's MP and is only marginally stronger than ジゴデイン, but the allies of the caster can act while the spell is used and thus has much greater utility than in previous games.

The spell has been tweaked so that Large-sized monsters can cast it by themselves.
