Super Robot Taisen OG: The Inspector

Did he do it before punching someone in the chest?

In Japanese, chesuto would be written チェスト, che-su-to. This is the only way the Japanese phonetic alphabet, katakana, can approximate the sound of the English word. So, the Japanese pronunciation of "chest" is heavily accented to follow the way it's written in Japanese.

If you're typing in a Roman alphabet, duplicating a bad Japanese accent on purpose has always struck me as kind of silly. The word is supposed to be "chest" so just write "chest" since this alphabet lets you write it correctly. People will know what you're talking about.

Yelling "chest" when you attack somebody is specific to the Japanese sport of kendo. Part of the rules of kendo state that you must call out which part of your opponent's body you're targeting. The Japanese use the English loan-word "chest!" to indicate an attack to the upper torso.

This isn't part of the Western sword-sport of fencing or, really, actual Japanese swordfighting (kenjutsu). Most modern Japanese know a lot more about kendo than they do kenjutsu, though, so swordsman characters like Sanger are often depicted as following the rules of kendo in their fights.

Thanks again for the information:thumbs:
Didn't know that it actually refers to chest, I thought it was some sort of Japanese martial artist or swordsmen yell/shout, because just like Gekidan said, some character from some anime/tokusatsu also yell "chest", like Ken/Gekichopper from Gekiranger, Jack Smith from Linebarrel, and Noza from Gaiking Legend of Daikumaryuu IIRC...

I can't really remember.
But if I'm not mistaken, it's a vertical slash.

Man, I wish these were shows I'd seen more of. :disappoin

If the characters did this before attacking an enemy's chest (or torso), then it's probably a kendo reference even if they weren't using swords.

EDIT: Yeah, if the Gekiranger one is a slashing attack then it's probably a kendo reference, to imply the attack-slash cuts like a blade.

Hahaha. That explains a lot about why the earlier episodes never bothered to show her fighting in Angelg much....
