>>35766021>scary>meaning the same thing as spooky>ドン used for something that’s spookyThe sound of a fucking door slam or a bang on the drum isn’t spooky. It’s surprising and startling which can be scary but it’s not the sound effect of unnerving or eerie. If something’s spooky, it’s almost always going to be scary, but if something’s scary, it’s not necessarily spooky. Imagine a scene in a manga of a kid suddenly falling into the lions exhibit at a zoo. The sound effect of that shot will likely be a ドン because it’s meant to shock the reader and set the tone for the scene. That kind of scene can be scary. But is that kind of thing spooky? Not unless the lions did something unnatural. Now imagine one of the lions slowly begins to speak in a language unknown to modern man to the child, who is then lifted out of the exhibit by an unseen force, like with witchcraft. That would be spooky and possibly scary, but it wouldn’t use ドン at all. Crows can be considered bad omens and thusly be spooky in nature, and they may surprise someone with a loud caw, but how eerie they often are in folklore and the like has absolutely nothing to do with the use of that sound effect. If ドンガラス did have the sound effect in its name instead of it reffering to the don of a mafia, it’d be for Sucker Punch. It’s quick, it’s loud, it’s bold, it’s surprising, and something happening so fast and out of nowhere would have ドン. But fucking wizardry, under the pretense it’s supposed to be spooky like you claim and not wow an audience at a magician’s performance? Absolutely fucking not. Don’t pretend to know a thing about how Japanese sound effects work when you take a definition at face value with zero context. Honchkrow may have traits of both a wizard and a don, but it’s predominantly supposed to be a don and head honcho and is named as such. It’s the boss and treated as such by its murder of Murkrow.
