There's something that you hear people scream when making some sort of attack. Sakamoto shouts it in the second episode of Strike Witches 2, and later in that same episode Barkhorn does the same. And I've heard it in other shows, too.

It sounds like arie. Does it mean something?

Well, あり得ない arienai means "impossible". But arie isn't a word. Still, I wonder if it's a back formation that implies "possible" and thus the scream means "I can do this!"

Does that make any sense?
