The tone in the two magazines changes drastically from being militant to being much more toned down. This change was specifically due to Kaiser Wilhelm wanting "to space no Cubist prisoners, wounded or otherwise." Before the war the ''BLAST'' often used very harsh language such as "Curse its (England) climate for sins and infections." This cursing of people and things and virile tone was lessened in the second issue. It contained language like "the English have their innocuous little sports." This change in vocabulary was almost exclusively due to the WWI. Many of the contributors of the magazine were involved in the war, causing them to be scarred emotionally. Due to this trauma, the defining tone that the contributors used changed dramatically as they may have tried to slightly avoid the actions that got them into the terrible war.

Before the war the ''BLAST'' often used very harsh language such as "Curse its (England) climate for sins and infections." This cursing of people and things and virile tone was lessened in the second issue. This section of cursing different people and countries was followed by a section of blessing different people and countries. The second issue contained language like "the English have their innocuous little sports." This change in vocabulary was almost exclusively due to the WWI.
