Night slash.
In Japanese, it's called something like "Sword testing", an allusion to one testing their sword on a defenseless target

what's up with his horns

they're all fucked up
>>
>>26149724
Only the one on the right is a horn; the other one is the top part of its wing
>>
>>26147625
>>26148818
>>26149075

Doom Desire is just a watered down way of saying Death Wish, which actually makes perfect sense as a signature move.

Thank god someone thought of the children.
>>
>>26149842
But "death wish" is an English phrase. Why would Japan base an attack name off of it?
>>
>>26147625
>>26148051
These

HORN DRILL

>>26147630
>THE POKEMON WAS TORN APART BY SPATIAL REND!"
Holy fuck I miss PBR commentary so much
>>
Draco Meteor
Spacial Rend
Roar of Time
Oblivion Wing
Judgment

Getting hit with one of these sounds like you and the surrounding area would be gone.
>>
Judgment sounds like the target came out of the closet and the attacker is just standing there and silently giving them the look of disapproval from a distance.
>>
>>26147551
Anal Fissure

They dropped the first half of the name for the American release.

Thought it was supposed to based off the whole "be careful what you wish for" concept.
>>
>>26150081
I'm sure there are analogous phrases in other languages; it's not too original of a concept.

In any case, the words are interchangeable so regardless of whatever it is over there, if it translates adequately to Doom Desire then Death Wish works just as well.
>>
>>26150440
I haven't heard that. Got a link to something I can read up on?
>>
>>26150488
The monkeys paw is a classic 'be careful what you wish for' story
