Kazapstrophe

Kazapstrophe Japanese ミナデイン Rōmaji Minadein Type Offensive First appearance Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen Dragon Warrior naming Alldain

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.

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.

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.
