the word she uses for a battle scream "kiai" is a classic one for jp martial arts. i was in karate for years and it was one of the earliest things they taught us it keeps you focused, keeps you breathing so you dont lock up, it might scare an enemy into flinching or fleeing, and tightens some of the muscles in your torso for a small level of natural armor. korone does western boxing but her instructor probably incorporated kiai for all the same reasons mine did.
Even outside marital arts a lot of PSAs now suggest screaming if attacked by someone, not only to focus your energy and possibly make them flinch but also force an adrenaline rush from your body to help overpower them/get away
@@WalkerSunriseChannel Related, as both the muscle clenching & yelling also mimic common patterns your body uses in survival conflict (since our brains are programmed for brief physical survival encounters and to broadcast social alerts about sudden threats) using those gives your body _very strong physical signals_ when a threat / conflict is over. That's why doing that can help to manage stress & anxiety attacks by the same physical signal mechanisms that breathing control does - as well as why they're also helpful for snapping back to normal _after_ a startle response gets triggered like with jump scares.
@@PierceArner Exactly, it's converting the adrenaline from Flight into Fight, and avoiding the freeze up response. Some people can do it at will, but for most it's easier to do it with a "trigger", and it can help to intimidate the opponent.
I've never seen anyone mention this theory, and it's the most logical thing for me. When Korone leaves the shampoo, he interacts with the tap of the shower and before the sound of the shower begins, Korone takes the soap. What scares her is the sound of the shower.
Her explanation is legit. In Japanese martial art, specifically Kendo, there is a concept called "Kiai", which is literally screaming before, during and after striking. Kiai not only a form of self-buff (increase respiration rate, atk power and resist fear and pressure of opponent) but also a psychological attack, as it demonstrates your "killing intent" and slowly builds up tension and stress on the opponent as the fight progresses
i learned kiai in karate and sensei pointed it out for all these same reasons. korone is a martial artist but she does western boxing. im thinking they probably incorporated kiai into the style and thats where she picked it up
Y’know, I was always told the purpose of Kiai was to steel the diaphragm so you were less likely to get the wind knocked out of you by incoming blows. I can absolutely see the psychological aspect though. That said, idea that after all this time, the Soap Moment was just Korone’s Kiai? I’m downright tickled by this information.
@Q-Bit tighen the abs for defense, trigger an adrenaline response for speed and power, negate the fear response to hold ones breath, scare the opponent into flinching or fleeing, and possibly summon help who hears a sudden scream. all rolled into a trained reflex action that doesnt interrupt anything else you wanna do combat-wise.
That just means she has good survival instinct. Screaming is a reflex our ancestors developed to scare off predators in an ambush, as well as notifying their group of imminent dangers. *Not* screaming in terror when you get scared or surprised is actually not good. You would be a deer in headlights.
So, Korone is using the DragonBall Z power-up yell - creates an energy barrier & raises her power level to match the unexpected threat and thus cancels out any fear she has. This 100% makes _perfect_ sense.
I kind of thought that was the case. The soap bars animation just sort of pops directly into your vision and it triggered her fight or flight (in this case scream) response.
Literally the same as a battle/war cry when you are about to run in to a fight to the death. Gives you just enough morale to yourself to not succumb to fear.
This is the same concept behind kiai, by the by. You shout and it releases tension abruptly. It can also spook your opponent and cause them to make an error.
I figured the only reason she did scream was cause she didn't see the bar of soap or didn't expect it to come to her, but then it did and she got freaked out by that. But this is an interesting way to face these!
This sort of defense reflex is unironically the best way to startle or disarm any would be assailants, so it's good to scream if you're scared. Conversely this explains why she was always jumpy during Among Us to the degree that she shouted at Botan (for no reason at the time)
My absolute favorite Korone moment is from her FFIX stream when she does Garnet's fake scream at the oglop in Dali and immediately gets jump scared by the oglop and screams for real.
I get her soo much, I also get scared super easily with jumpscares, tho the problem is when its still that shouldnt be scarry, like, I cant play tenis because when the ball is going soo fast in my direction, I just get scared and close my eyes and protect my face...
Wow. Thanks to JShay showing the clip again, I've realized the reason she screamed at the soap was not because of the soap itself, but because of the shower that went off as she picked it up. And then she probably thought that noise was caused by the soap at that very moment.
This reminds me of Luna preemptively screaming while she was playing some horror game, with the idea that if she just screams ahead of time while walking around normally, the actual jumpscare or whatever will have less impact.
This reminds me of the time she was evading the giant chicken and the duct she was creeping through collapses. She screamed as the duct fell, then turned two different directions and screamed at nothing. I thought they were residual screams from the shock, but they were preemptive pushing screams!
so korone discovered the power of kiai blasts... interesting, i guess that explains the "KORONE GETS SCARED BY LITERALLY NOTHING" clip which is one of my favs especially since the title adds to the chaotic energy
The key to surviving those situations is to charge in with no fear, battle yelling and giving a war face. Alternatively, leveling the building works too if you have the means to do so.
Kinda comedic that she put the "Scary Thing" over the Koronesuki outside the window, and then timed her last scream when the Koronesuki pops up again when she got rid of the white screen😂😂😂
I do the same thing. When something surprises me I sometimes scream loudly. It's subconsciously triggered, but feels kind of like a war cry. I feel a bit bad when I scare the shit out of my friends e.g. when they open the door when I didn't expect, or when their ringtone is a bit loud.
Letting out a shriek upon encountering a threat makes sense from an evolutionary biology viewpoint, since it alerts others in one's group about the threat. Some types of threats (e.g. a wolf biting the throat) can cause muteness, so letting it out immediately is particularly useful as a survival-promoting strategy. She would make a good guard dog.
In other words, Korone, like most dogs, is afraid of unexpected things more than scary things. She will boldly bark at the scary monster, but will get scared if she is unexpectedly frightened
I taught in a small town Japanese school with almost no foreigners and got this when I walked around low-vision corners at school sometimes. (I'm a tallish white guy) So I started screaming back and they'd just look really confused and then start laughing.

New Korone lore power confirmed: "Her scream has supersonic force that is strong enough to repel scary things"
New move for Showdown?
SuperSONIC powers. _Because she's an ambassador for SONIC._
She is "dog god" korone after all.
Korone is Dragonborn confirmed.
It's not supersonic though. It's exactly sonic. (I.e., her scream travels at the speed of sound, because that's how sceams work.)
She is Dragonborn.
FUS ORAYO DAH
Fus Ro *GYAAAAAAAAA!!!!*
The Doggoborn
FUS RO DOG
That explains her new outfit.
korone : scary thing can't scare me if i scare it first
That's literally what some animals do. Like Red Pandas. However, much like Red Pandas, Korone's attempts at this only make her more adorable.
Dog reaction so it makes sense
The Sparta approach 😂
That's what jerma does apparently. He starts firing his gun immediately to drown out whatever noise could happen.
That's actually a great idea. You're basically letting the energy of panic and fear out through shouting and thus calming down

Ah yes, trying to scare the thing more than it scares her. Endlessly wise doggo
When the monster comes and does it's loud monster scream. But your doggo screams back and the monster runs off.
she truly a doggo. barks at anything that might be scary to scare them first
It doesn't get more Korone than this. Gonna try to employ this technique next time I run into soap!
I've never seen anyone mention this theory, and it's the most logical thing for me. When Korone leaves the shampoo, he interacts with the tap of the shower and before the sound of the shower begins, Korone takes the soap. What scares her is the sound of the shower.
@@rasputin529 I've seen this theory a few times. Makes sense, but I choose to believe the more amusing alternative
Time to go to the soap store and scream at some soaps
Conventions can be fragrant enough as it is. Please don't help people find new ways to avoid soap.
@@rasputin529 It's not a theory, it's obviously what really happenened
Korone is doing almighty push with her scream huh. Understandable
Kinda made sense why Subaru is not scared when she played *"Don't scream"* xD
She already broken because of mario stream 😂 its take a toll on her mind
Wasn't it because subaru was too busy laughing at her character dying randomly when she was just speaking?
Korone's diagrams are some of Hololive's greatest treasures.
This sounds like an elaborate cover story for the much simpler phenomenon known as "being startled" 😂
Especially when you turn up the volume and hear the splash of water that she's reacting to
preemptive screaming
ERA armor but for scaring
My favourite part of that Soap clip is how she says shampoo. There’s just something very pleasant about it.
You've gotta watch her old English only Super Mario stream. It's all very pleasant.
@@MakotoTheKnight Her English Mario Kart streams are also all time classics.
Screaming loudly as a way to get through a scary moment makes sense
I don't know how to express myself but I'm just so happy she decided to graphically explain that
Koone turning screaming into a fight response.
Truly God Dog.
The fact that it’s already 4 years old really scares me man…
Took the time to explain the mental sequence of events as well...
felt like it was 2 years ago when it happened
@@vector_619 Seriously. I feel like it just happened recently.
@@Kirivera time is moving too fast
Better than getting scared by SOAP
So she's basically growling loudly like a dog does to ward off the thing that's threatening them lol
She really used Conquerors Haki on a bar of soap
LMFAOOO
Next time I take a shower I will try to scream away the soap
I never get tired of Korone's png puppet shows

Kiai not only a form of self-buff (increase respiration rate, atk power and resist fear and pressure of opponent) but also a psychological attack, as it demonstrates your "killing intent" and slowly builds up tension and stress on the opponent as the fight progresses
The part of her illustration that's translated as "matching the energy" literally says "kiai" in the original.
i learned kiai in karate and sensei pointed it out for all these same reasons.
korone is a martial artist but she does western boxing. im thinking they probably incorporated kiai into the style and thats where she picked it up

Korone is a fighter. She fights away the fear. Love our fierce doggo 🥲
'Like a barrier' I see, I see, against terror, some kind of absolute terror field
An AT field. You're on to something.
«Angels are watching.»
So, Korone is using the DragonBall Z power-up yell - creates an energy barrier & raises her power level to match the unexpected threat and thus cancels out any fear she has.
This 100% makes _perfect_ sense.

That's exactly how dogs react to a threat, if you think about it.
Korone really is the kind of person who screams at the monster to scare it away. And is the perfect target for jumpscares.
She just explained what a jumpscare is...
I will never get tired of Korone’s drawings and how she moves them xD
So adorable
From her scuffed debut stream to the strongest OBS user out there.
Like a true doggo, her bark screams it away
Literally the same as a battle/war cry when you are about to run in to a fight to the death. Gives you just enough morale to yourself to not succumb to fear.
0:07 it was very emotional
This is the same concept behind kiai, by the by. You shout and it releases tension abruptly. It can also spook your opponent and cause them to make an error.
Apparently people are saying that the Japanese word she's writing in her illustration on the right side is literally "kiai." FYI! Pretty cool imo haha
@@BaritoneMonkey Yes, haha, it's 気合 (きあい).
Honestly I just thought she didn't see it, misclicked and got jumped.
But I guess it's like when you make yourself look bigger to fend off a bear! ^^
She got scared by the delayed water sfx from clicking on the faucet, I think the soap timing was just an amazing coincidence
@@namae3 yeah, this guy gets it
Only do that for black bears...if it's brown play dead, and if it's a grizzly start praying.
My impression was that it was movement-based vision, so the sudden movement of the SOAP activated her threat response.
Clever girl
incredibly reasonable.
smort doggo (literally in the game, in one of the jumpscares she actually whimpers like a real doggo, it's very cute)
Screaming is her acoustic A.T. field.
She is barking whenever she is startled
The yelling at a charging bear to scare it away approach.
omg her english has gotten even better, It sounds so cute!
Krone english still the most adorable thing ever
I mean, it works.
I get jumpscared more by Korone than the games she's playing.
real doggo energy today
I figured the only reason she did scream was cause she didn't see the bar of soap or didn't expect it to come to her, but then it did and she got freaked out by that. But this is an interesting way to face these!
This sort of defense reflex is unironically the best way to startle or disarm any would be assailants, so it's good to scream if you're scared.
Conversely this explains why she was always jumpy during Among Us to the degree that she shouted at Botan (for no reason at the time)
0:19 Koro san uses Haki
To be fair, soap also scares anyone who's been to prison.
Screaming to scare the scary thing away is such a dog thing to do. I love my Oshi.
Crazy to think that soap jumpscare was back in 2020. I didn't think it's been that long...
My absolute favorite Korone moment is from her FFIX stream when she does Garnet's fake scream at the oglop in Dali and immediately gets jump scared by the oglop and screams for real.
I get her soo much, I also get scared super easily with jumpscares, tho the problem is when its still that shouldnt be scarry, like, I cant play tenis because when the ball is going soo fast in my direction, I just get scared and close my eyes and protect my face...
Doggo barks loudly at something unexpected.
I'm not sure what I was expecting, this checks out.
Bork the soap away
This approach to fear makes perfect sense for Korone's personality.
Wow. Thanks to JShay showing the clip again, I've realized the reason she screamed at the soap was not because of the soap itself, but because of the shower that went off as she picked it up. And then she probably thought that noise was caused by the soap at that very moment.

Meanwhile there's Luna, who gets hammered on cheap sake, so she can't get scared by anything.
One of these days it's gonna be like those comedy films where the monster and Koro just scream back at each other
So she's trying to fus-ro-dah it away.
so korone discovered the power of kiai blasts... interesting, i guess that explains the "KORONE GETS SCARED BY LITERALLY NOTHING" clip which is one of my favs especially since the title adds to the chaotic energy
"I'm not scared, I'm just using the power of my voice to fight" is such a Korone thing to say, lmao
Korosan's law of horror: 'for every jumpscare, there is an equal and opposite scream'
You see, this is barking in human instincts, she was cast perfectly
Make the bad thing more scared of you than you’re of it.
I never thought I'd get a scientific doog breakdown of the SOAP KYAAAA, but here we are!
Nice explanation Korone, but we all know you were terrified of that soap.
I love her manual manipulation of the stream interface
The key to surviving those situations is to charge in with no fear, battle yelling and giving a war face. Alternatively, leveling the building works too if you have the means to do so.
I love this dog so much its unreal
Between fight and flight, Korone is choosing fight but with her voice
Kinda comedic that she put the "Scary Thing" over the Koronesuki outside the window, and then timed her last scream when the Koronesuki pops up again when she got rid of the white screen😂😂😂
I do the same thing. When something surprises me I sometimes scream loudly. It's subconsciously triggered, but feels kind of like a war cry. I feel a bit bad when I scare the shit out of my friends e.g. when they open the door when I didn't expect, or when their ringtone is a bit loud.
Korone: my screams act like a barrier to protect me
Every piece of soap ever: I’m die, thank you forever
I can assume the scream when the soap disappears and re-appears on the floor and the realization that you need to bend down to pick it up.
Assert your dominance by screaming louder than the jump scare. Got it 👍
Being able to generate your own AT field just by screaming is pretty impressive, ngl
She got jump scared by soap. That's a fact.
0:07 how rhythm game players react when you show them a bar of soap
Great english from Korone at the end!
i think it's a similar energy to dogs and vacuums
The ending is perfect. Down to the last bit.
So essentially she's trying to sonic scream lol. Almost like a real dog trying to bark away a threat.
I mean, to be fair, that bar of soap TREMBLED at her scream. No, seriously, watch it back.
So she screamed to try to scare away the soap?
Letting out a shriek upon encountering a threat makes sense from an evolutionary biology viewpoint, since it alerts others in one's group about the threat. Some types of threats (e.g. a wolf biting the throat) can cause muteness, so letting it out immediately is particularly useful as a survival-promoting strategy. She would make a good guard dog.
That soap clip will never not make me laugh.
I think the Best example is the room game where you spin around she played long ago, screaming at a literal empty wall
Korone literally employing the sound barrier. What can't this doggo do?
Im pretty sure that (hopefully) scaring away what's attacking you is specifically what a scream is designed for
Screaming at the tension directly. Haha.
In other words, Korone, like most dogs, is afraid of unexpected things more than scary things.
She will boldly bark at the scary monster, but will get scared if she is unexpectedly frightened
It's like in Totoro, where loud laughter drives away the soot sprites.
When they update that Hololive fighting game, this is how Korone's barrier should be like.
I taught in a small town Japanese school with almost no foreigners and got this when I walked around low-vision corners at school sometimes. (I'm a tallish white guy)
So I started screaming back and they'd just look really confused and then start laughing.
She's quite literally a dog barking when it senses something unusual approaching in front of it.
Her screams have been barks this whole time!
Korone's use of png props is amazing as usual
so it is some kind of an attack. RIP scary things.
she asserts dominance thats crazy
