New Game Turns Naruto’s Talk no Jutsu Into a Main Gameplay Mechanic

“Talk no Jutsu,” a term created by *Naruto* author Masashi Kishimoto, describes when a character uses only words to change how another character acts. Simply put, it’s a dramatic anime way of saying someone talks their opponent into something – something Naruto himself is known for! While it might seem a bit much to give this common trope a special name, it could be argued that Talk no Jutsu is more than just a joke. Words have power – they can make people angry, motivated, happy, or scared. The recently showcased game *Harmony of Aetheria* is trying to capture that power through its gameplay.
