Kazapple

Kazapple Japanese ジゴデイン Rōmaji Jigodein Type Offensive First appearance Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

Kazapple is a spell in the Dragon Quest series that delivers the fury of the Gods unto the player's enemies. The finer details of the spell vary between titles, but it is always the strongest Lightning-element ability in every game it appears in.

Localization history

Alongside the games in which Jigodein appeared as Kazapple (mostly the Monsters series), there were also other games (mostly the numbered games) that featured the other spell Minadein translated as Kazapple as well. For Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age, as both are present, in order to prevent a situation where two spells are called the same, Minadein was renamed to Kazapstrophe. See Kazapstrophe for the spell that refers to Minadein.

Trivia

• Kazapple appeared in a preview image seen in issue 36 of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine's 1989 edition, where it was shown dealing 520 damage to a monster. This higher voltage output was likely lowered during the development of IV for balancing the end-game's difficulty.
