Kazapple is learned by the {{Hero 4}} at level 37 and deals 330~350 Lightning damage to one foe, requires 15 {{MP}} from every party member to cast. As such, it cannot be used if [[Alena]], [[Ragnar McRyan]], or [[Torneko Taloon]] are in the {{Party 4}}.

Kazapple is learned by {{Parry}} at level 38, and by the {{Conkuistador R}} at level 60. It costs every party member 10 MP to cast but as [[Tuppence]] is the only human character to lack MP the requirements are much less strict for most party configurations.

Kazapple is learned by reaching rank 8 of the [[Hero (vocation)|Hero vocation]], the Legend. The power has been double to 600~700 and costs every party member 10 MP as in before. Unlike in {{V}}, all human characters gain MP and thus the player is not limited by his or her party configuration. Kazapple has the quickest activation speed of any ability in the game, activating before [[Kaclang]] and [[Forbearance]]. The spell will only echo with the duplic hat in the original {{SFC}} version.

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

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.

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen

Is called Kazapple.

Costs 15 MP to all party members to deal 300~350 Zap damage to one enemy. As their MP is always 0, the spell cannot be used if Ragnar, Alena or Torneko are in the party.

Kazapstrophe is used by the protagonist in version 5.5+ to defeat the Great Source of Darkness, Jagonuba. To perform this spell, the protagonist receives the power of all living beings on the planet (from residents of Astoltia, Nadragand and Netherworld) thanks to the help of Goddess Luciana. Once the energy is gathered, the survivor of Tenton uses Kazapstrophe with the help of all their summoned allies like Anlucia, Shaka, Estelle or Valeria. The massive spell fulminates Jagonuba, killing him on the spot.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

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

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.

Terry's Wonderland 3D & Iru and Luca's Marvelous Mysterious Key

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

Dragon Quest Monsters: Super Light

Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road

ミナデイン has two versions, one for the Luminaries of the Legendary line seen in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line and another for the Chosen of Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen. In first version the three cousins are shown entering the scene by riding upon Empyrea's back, with the Prince of Midenhall channeling the power of the thunderbolt blade to contribute. There are two versions of the latter for the male and female Hero, with Healie aiding Ragnar by donating his MP. Psaro is also present in the group, but refuses to assist and merely observes.
