Bastard!! Wiki

Anthem (鋼雷破弾 (アンセム) , Ansemu) is a light based magic spell.

Overview[]

A spell that creates magical light bullets of energy that will always hit their target unless a powerful barrier, release spell, or other item, is placed to shield the enemy. This spell automatically targets the vital spots of an enemy, though it isn't lethal in most cases. It is typically used as a support spell to give allies covering fire.[1][2]

The more powerful the caster firing the spell, the more light bullets are produced.[2]

Incantation[]

"Bullets of light, strike my enemies! Anthem!"

History[]

Dark Schneider uses this spell to take out some Ninja who ambush his group in Grave Valley.[3] He later attempts to use this spell against the Suzuki Dogezaemon in Gara's Ninja Fortress, only for the monster to block it with a Shield spell.[4]

Arshes Nei uses this spell to distract Gara during their fight at Castle Metallicana.[5]

Trivia[]

  • The spell is named after Japanese heavy metal band Anthem.
  • Anthem functions identically to the Dungeons & Dragons spell Magic Missile, which allows the caster to fire multiple bolts of magical energy that are guaranteed to hit their target.
