Line 20:
* ''[[X 1999]]'' sees many mages cast their spells this way, specially Subaru Sumeragi.
* In the manga/anime version of ''[[Harukanaru Toki no Naka de]]'', the local [[Onmyodo|onmyoji]], Abe no Yasuaki, uses this on a regular basis, both the mantras and the mudras (though the ''Haruka'' franchise in fact doesn't [[Small Reference Pools|limit]] the chant selection used by Yasuaki and [[Expy|Yasutsugu]] to just this one).
* The Kuji Kanesada is a sword with the nine words of the Kuji on it; "to cut away the souls of man." Sword of Shiki Ryogi from ''[[Kara no Kyoukai:|Kara no Kyoukai]]''.
* Himiko Se from ''[[Vampire Princess Miyu]]'' uses similar chants at least twice in the OAV.
* Kantarou from ''[[Tactics]]'' uses this when fighting [[Youkai]].
Line 42:
* [[Super Robot Wars|Hwang Yang Long]]'s ultimate move with Granveil: Kafuu Seiun Ken had him chant this (missing the Sai) to enhance his [[Flaming Sword]] with further power and after blowing black winds that turn into fire to the enemy, he proceeds to lay smackdown on the enemy.
* In ''[[Psychic Force]]'', Genma Rokudou's ultimate involves him throwing a talisman, chant this word, and the talisman generates massive explosion.
* In ''Super [[Street Fighter IV]]'' the urban ninja Guy chants this as one of his personal actions.
* Neo Geo's ''[[Double Dragon]]'' fighting game character Amon (a ninja), also chants this as part of his ultimate move.
* In ''[[Samurai Warriors]]'', both Hanzo Hattori and his rival Kotaro use this chant.
* The kanji are used in ''[[Tenchu]] 3'': The Wrath of Heaven/ Return from Darkness (same game, different consoles). Each stealth kill you get lights up from one half to one and a half kanjis, depending on the kill method and the target (dogs are only worth half, frontal stealth kills get you one and a half). If all are lit up, you learn a new move but you need to beat the level in question to be able to keep it.
* They're also used in the XBOX version of ''[[Ninja Gaiden]]''—Each 'Life of the Gods' jewel you get lights up a meter by one. Find or make a complete set of nine and your health bar increases. Also, when dialogue is set to Japanese, Ryu will shout the chant to cut a stone platform out of the ground so he can fight the penultimate boss.
** In Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword, tracing the Sanskrit letter on the touchscreen will activate the ninjutsu associated with it.
* [http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Ninjitsu#Kuji-In_Rin Kuji-In Rin], [http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Ninjitsu#Kuji-In_Sha Sha], and [http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Ninjitsu#Kuji-In_Retsu Retsu] appear in ''[[City of Villains]]'' as player-character abilities for the Stalker (read: [[Back Stab|Backstabber]]) class. Respectively, they provide protection from certain [[Standard Status Effects]], act as a [[Healing Factor|self-healing ability]], and provide temporary [[Nigh Invulnerable|near-invulnerability]] (of the "95% of attacks miss" sort). Ninja Masterminds have [http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Ninjas#Kuji_In_Zen Kuji-In Zen], which is the final upgrade to the abilities of their henchmen.
* Used liberally in ''[[Touhou]]'', with several human characters using paper talismans, and Sanae using a spell card specifically named 'Nine Syllable Seals'.
* Bang Shishigami from ''[[
* Emon Five from ''[[Otomedius]]'' recites this chant while charging his D-Burst attack. He runs out of time during the charge period, so he ends it by shouting "Pierce them!" instead of the final phrase.
