Dyne is Zidane's trance mode. Kuja once described the trance as "an eruption of anger against one's environment."  In final fantasy 9, a trance mode is in which the character has access to stronger attacks. 

 

A formal definition of Dyne is 

A centimeter-gram-second unit of force, equal to the force required to impart an acceleration of one centimeter per second per second to a mass of one gram.

Dyne is related to the word dynamic. 

//This makes sense because to use dyne is to impart an extra a degree of force on standard attacks.

 

When Zidane has access to his Dyne attacks it is not hard to imagine him as the  "angel of death" which is able to stand equal to Kuja. The following is a list of Dyne attacks Zidane acquires in the game. The way to tell if Zidane has access to his Dyne attacks is when he turns pink as the pictures below show.  When Zidane turns pink it is best to use the dyne skills immediately since the dyne status lasts for about two turns. It takes a long time for him to reach that status again so these opportunities are not to be wasted.
