"For one, the callings out of an attack move like "Rider Kick!" Growing up an Asian kid, this concept is not new to me and is highly acceptable in the Asian culture. But it sounds ridiculous in the American culture because nobody does that. Why would you call out your moves in a fight. Silly right? Power Rangers have been doing this for the last 15 years and it’s still silly."
