Wham! Line/Anime and Manga

"Nygas: Medusa. Just what are you doing here? Medusa: I'm not looking for a fight. I surrender."
 * My Hero Academia Shortly after Tsuyu asks where Bakugo is, Deku says he's right behind them. Deku's group turn around, and then we get brief dramatic music.
 * This exchange from Soul Eater, just as Crona is forgiven by Death for furthering the madness that was in Stein. Granted, this series has a lot after the halfway point.

"Mao: (to Suzaku) Get your hands off of me, father-killer!"
 * The manga has the Great Old One of the Book of Eibon calling Death the Kid; a "fragment of Shinigami."
 * There's also the last line of Chapter 88, where . Considering that the rest of Chapter 88 was a total filler chapter...yeah. Wham! Line.
 * Haruhi Suzumiya: "...that's why I'm going to kill you and see how Miss Suzumiya reacts!"
 * Vol.7: "Is this what you are looking for?"
 * Code Geass has a lot.
 * Episode 16:

"Nunnally: Hello? Big brother? Lelouch, is that you. It's me, Nunnally; Can you hear me? I'm coming over there to Area 11 to be the viceroy. Um, is there something wrong? Lelouch, it's Nunnally, your sister!"
 * R2 Episode 5:

"Lelouch: Could that be the weapon Suzaku was talking about? ...Nunnally!"
 * R2 Episode 18:

"Nunnally: Listen well, Lelouch and Suzaku. I declare...you're my enemies from now on."
 * R2 Episode 22

"Nunnally: That's why...I won't close my eyes any longer! (Cue dramatic music change as Nunnally opens her eyes)"
 * R2 Episode 24

"Lelouch:"
 * Re:

"Kenzo: "He’s crying. My son is…My son…!"
 * "Makoto...Have you been time-leaping?"
 * And then soon after: "Would you laugh if I told you I'm from the future?
 * Mahou Sensei Negima
 * "You may call me a puppet, but the reality is you too are a sad and pitiful puppet, and puppets cannot oppose or defy the puppet master."

 * Great Mazinger:

"Father: For me to imprison God within my body required enormous energy. And the citizens of this country provided it for me."
 * Gun X Sword: "Have you seen a man with a claw? Maybe with a young boy?" "Why, yes. He's right over there."
 * Muhyo and Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation: "This is what we've been waiting for." Spoken by Enchu and Rio, together.
 * Fullmetal Alchemist:
 * Chapter 104, what Father says summarizes the WHAM situation the best:

"Roy Mustang: "I...can't see.""
 * Also, two chapters previously...

"Bradley: "Just as you have the Ultimate Shield...I have the Ultimate Eye.""
 * Even before that: "He's the son of some distant relative of my husband."
 * And before any of these:

"Bradley: Hello everyone. I see that everything has gotten quite out of hand during my absence. I am coming to personally take back control of my country, and put down this coup."
 * Chapter 97, after it was thought that Wrath was dealt with...

"Tobi: The Sharingan's true power. My power...Madara Uchiha's power!"
 * Death Note, in the English translation, sets the record for wham-to-letter ratio with the line "I am L" spoken by L to Light, in person.
 * D Gray Man:  Cross to Allen, with a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming hug thrown in too. And from a Jerkass no less.
 * Later on, a seemingly filler arc becomes suddenly dark with two words that have never been so terrifying: "Good Morning."
 * Naruto:

"Sasuke: Why would Itachi do such a thing? Madara: Don't you get it? It was to...protect you."
 * And maybe the biggest one of all in Chapter 397.

"Madara: But he was ordered to do so by Konoha."
 * And one chapter later.

"Kushina: I...was the Kyuubi's previous host..."
 * In Ch 499:

"Naruto: What...was the decree? What? Mizuki: That no one must ever tell you...that what you really are...is the demon fox!"
 * Even Chapter 1 has a line that changes Naruto's understanding of his past and the course of his entire life.

"Hinata: I'm not afraid to risk my life for you...because I love you." Pain: *Kills Hinata right in front of Naruto, unleashing the mother of all Unstoppable Rage, going straight to a six-tailed transformation."
 * And later on in the Waves arc.
 * Chapter 437 featured one for Naruto:

"Haku: Oh, and by the way, I'm a boy."
 * A minor one, but still pretty funny:

"Mikado: I have neither the power nor wisdom to oppose a foe who won't listen to reason. You won't even give me time to try. And so...I'll rely on numbers!"
 * Arguably Durarara!! episode 11:

"Zaji: Your delivery is just as good as the record holder. And seeing how Gauche Suede isn't a Bee anymore, you're pretty much at the top."
 * From episode 10: I have all the pawns I need
 * Also, in the graphic novel when Simon suddenly punches Izaya in the face and says: Have you ever killed people? I have.
 * Grave of the Fireflies: After returning from buying food, Seita comes back to a severely ill Setsuko who is delusional and weak. He gives her something to eat and makes dinner, bringing hope that Setsuko would recover. Then, after Seita leaves the scene, leaving Setsuko to lie there with a hunk of melon you think she'd wolf down, he voices over the line: "She never woke up". After that...you pretty much know what happened.
 * Tegami Bachi

"Lag: You're Noir!"
 * Much later, Lag figures out what exactly is wrong with Gauche.

"Aizen: I'm sorry. You must have been worried. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry for hurting you so much. There was something I had to do. Thank you, Hinamori. Thank you so much. Goodbye."
 * Bleach

"Yumichika: "What I show you now is completely confidential. Take a peek at the true power of my zanpakutou!""
 * Chapter 147: Vice-Captain Hisagi looks like he's defeated Fifth Seat Ayasegawa and lectures Yumichika that he should give up because there's no possible way for a fifth seat to defeat a vice-captain and dying in such a pointless fashion would be a terrible death for a member of the battle-loving 11th division. If Yumichika didn't hit the Wham! Line quota with his reveal that he's only such a low seat by choice, his reveal that he's also hiding the truth about his zanpakutou surely does.

"Aizen: "The Aizen you knew...never even existed.""
 * Another one from Aizen, explaining that he didn't pull a Face Heel Turn. He was Evil All Along.

"Gin: KILL, KAMISHINI NO YARI!!!"
 * Gin as well in Chapter 414, who of all people actually pulls it on Aizen.

"Ichigo: Guys. Guys! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU ALL THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"

 * When Ishida finally rejoins the battle, two lines in a row:

Yukio: You said we'd share. After

Ginjou:"

"Sasakibe:..The..There is...There is something i need to tell you"
 * Chapter 484 gives us this

"Yuki:"
 * Chapter 485 gives this:.
 * Chapter 485 gives this:.

"Precia: I'll put an end to everything. To all the time this girl was deprived of when I lost her.. and also to the doll I created to play as my daughter."
 * This being in a series that, throughout numerous nearly-hopeless battles against supreme evils, stabbings through the chest, etc., no (good) captain or vice-captain  until now.
 * Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha

"Shinji: Rider...you saved me? Rider: Make no mistake. The false contract between us is at an end. I was merely obeying my master's orders. Shinji: No way! So that means... Sakura: That's right, Nii-san. I asked Rider to save you using my final command mantra."
 * "You want to know something nice? Ever since I made you...every single moment...I've despised you."
 * Bakuman｡ Chapter 100: "PCP isn't going to get an anime."
 * Chapter 76: "I WANT TO QUIT TANTO!"
 * In Chapter 46, Azuki tells Mashiro that she’ll hate him if he doesn’t take time off work until he’s discharged from the hospital, but Mashiro, not believing her, refuses. She then apologizes and says "I've been in love with you for eight years, so how could I hate you?", which surprises him, as it is the first time he learns that she had always loved him.

 * School Days, final episode: Makoto has received a text message on his cellphone which just says "sorry," followed by a whole bunch of empty lines that scroll down, leading up to one word: "Sayonara." Cue serious Oh Crap.
 * The manga does this in spectacular fashion in the last chapter.

"Kyubey (Episode 6): "You people are all the same. I don't get it. Why do you people care so much where your souls are?" Kyubey (Episode 8): In this country they call girls shoujo, and for girls who are growing up to be witches (majo), it's logical to call them "magical girls" (Mahou Shoujo). Homura (Episode 8): I will not allow your plan to succeed, Kyubey...no, Incubator. Madoka (Episode 11): Homura...I'm sorry."
 * Puella Magi Madoka Magica:

"Braiking Boss: I was the one who gave the order...to kill Luna."
 * Kyubey gets a lot of these. Practically every episode after the third has at least one Wham! Line from Kyubey.
 * Casshern Sins episode 12: Braiking Boss gives off a Wham! Line so hard that it sends Casshern into a Heroic BSOD.

 * Ore Imo manga, chapter 25: "I'M...DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH MY SISTERRRRRR!!" If you've read the novel or seen the anime, you'll know that things are cleared up, but since the manga chapter ends on a Cliff Hanger...
 * From Neon Genesis Evangelion, the truth behind the Evangelion's "armor" is revealed:

"Kaworu:"
 * From Rebuild of Evangelion. Surprising absolutely nobody, Kaworu shows up at the end of an entire movie of Off the Rails Wham Episodes. Then...

"Invert controls. Backdoor code:"
 * The reveal of the Eva's dark side in Rebuild...

"Kaworu: "That's right. That's what you Lilin call it. The sacred domain where none may trespass. The light of the soul. Lilin, you know, don't you? That the AT Field is the wall that everyone has in their heart?""
 * Going back to the original series, from episode 24, we learn the truth behind the AT Field:

"John Smith: Miss Erstin!"
 * In Mai-Otome, John Smith admits that he can't take on a Materialized Arika, and so calls for help from The Mole.

"Third Princess Carissa: “Begin the invasion. I now have Curtana Original, the sword that decides the king, within my grasp. This makes me, Carissa, the ruler of the United Kingdom. Anyone that does not want to see the country decay under the rule of the previous pacifist queen, stand up of your own will. To bring about the new United Kingdom, leveling some things will be necessary and some destruction will be necessary.”"

 * We have several in the next saga, usually from Trunks, such as:

"Jeanne: It can't be...? And you knew I was Jeanne?"
 * Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne has two of these:
 * From episode 34:

"Maron: Fin, lend me your powers. Deliver my wish to... Fin:"

 * Magical Project S: "Misao, you're Pixy Misa?"

"Sengoku:"
 * Another one from Chapter 550:

"Edgeworth: Well then, why don't we ask him? I would like to call my next witness, Thomas Spitzer. (Cue Oh Crap from Phoenix as Spitzer testifies for the prosecution.)"
 * In the Ace Attorney manga, Edgeworth argues that Bobby Wolfe might have burned down the Den of Spiders if he intended to turn himself in or commit suicide, leaving no one to care for his spiders. Phoenix then argues that his friend Thomas Spitzer could have cared for them.


 * From Episode 7 of |Black Rock Shooter, this line hit's like a bombshell.

"Ren: When this is all settled, I'll be leaving. You've given me one last wonderful memory to take with me."
