Spell of Distruction: Word
What was the one word they said to summon the spell of destruction?
I was watching the Japanese and couldn't make it out. And there was no subtitle when Sheeta and Pazu chanted it.
It's called "Balus".

Where is my Mjöllnir ! Where is my Mjöllnir ! Arrrghh!
^Agreed, thats what it is 'Paalus'. Although it may sound like Balus in some versions. Written worded version Vs how its actually spoken etc!

The spells are commands in another language. The long one "leetay latupurita ulus arialos balo natoreel" meant, as Sheeta's grandmother told her, "Restore the sacred light and save me" or something like that (don't remember the exact phrase). The spell of destruction, "paalus" or "balus" or whatever it was probably only contained a single word, probably "destroy".
shareCode word that initiated the Self-Destruct sequence?
For years the likes of Star Trek have been doing this sort of thing in their stories so why do people have a problem with it here.

There is a major difference.
One word vs a sequence of numbers/letters spoken by two command officers.
Seconded. It's pretty standard studio-ghibli (and general movie) fare for everything to disintegrate in the end, but this one felt too absurd to me.
Firstly that the character *knew* that this word would instantly cause such destruction, and they'd be no need to continue trying to escape from the antagonist. There's a difference between powerful forbidden spell and city destroying.
Secondly, as discussed, that it was just one word, with no need to confirm or whatever, so if you were to say it accidentally...mega-whoopsie
Thirdly that even though they were at the centre of the destruction, they're completely unharmed and managed to cling to some tree roots (and what a convenience that the complete destruction is not *so* complete that it doesn't leave the heroes a way to survive).
Bonus point too for why the antagonist was so kind to give them minutes to confer in secret.
Still loved the film, but not a great wrap up.
