Resident Evil linguistic weapons analysis
This is an excerpt of the conversation about ryan’s inventory in resident evil and the languages in my pocket.
Japanese is like the sniper rifle. I usually don’t sneak around bitching people. but I use it for such specific reasons that make me a sniper.
English is no doubt the shotgun. The most efficient weapon in the game.
Cantonese is the pistol. I use it anytime, anywhere, without worrying about ammo running out.
Finally, Mandarin is the magnum. The most powerful weapon, but either you hit or miss. limited 10 bullets only.
Hmm… I wonder what will be the fan kick…

the fan kick is a language or a skill that people don’t expect you to have. Because in close encounters, any other weapon is visible, the fan kick is extremely deadly because it comes from nowhere and takes out people around you. That would mean that it would have to be something like German, French, Russian or one of the Indian languages. People see a chinese kid and it doesn’t shock them if he speaks Eastern Asian languages or English (because everyone is supposed to). If you pull out one of those languages, you’ll shock them for sure.

“Cantonese is the pistol. I use it anytime, anywhere, without worrying about ammo running out.”
I laughed out loudly when I saw this.
