Two opponents, either individuals or armies, face off against each other, ready to throw down at a moment's notice, with [[Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Death|clouds lowering overhead]]. Just as the fight is about to start, it begins to rain on the combatants, as if the tension in the air has wrung the moisture out of it.

{{examples}}
== Anime
* The second fight between Mugen and Sara in episode 21 of ''[[Samurai Champloo]]''. Given the animation and detail, viewing is a must.
* Both the aptly-named "Memories in the Rain" arcs in ''[[Bleach]]''. The first being where Ichigo fights the Grand Fisher to try to avenge his mother, the second being a flashback of Rukia's. {{spoiler|Though it didn't technically start raining until after she killed Kaien, but hey.}}
Line 162 ⟶ 163:
* The secret ending to ''[[Kingdom Hearts (video game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' features Riku and Roxas fighting Heartless/each other in the rain. Because the scene was so epic, it was remade in full for ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', and was playable in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days|Kingdom Hearts 358 Days Over 2]]''.
* This happens in the opening in ''[[Backyard Sports|Backyard Football]]''.
* Happens in ''[[Dragon Age]]: Origins'' at the Battle of Ostagar, which is no real surprise seeing how much it was inspired by the aforementioned [[The Lord of the Rings|Battle of Helm's Deep]].
* ''[[Crysis (series)|Crysis]]'' has its final battle in the middle of a thunderstorm.
* ''[[Left 4 Dead 2]]'' has a campaign called Hard Rain, in which the Survivors must fight their way through what isn't so much a rainstorm as a full blown flood. Every so often, the storm intensifies so it's almost impossible to see and even communicating via mike is difficult. ''The thunder and lightning summons hordes of zombies.''
