Line 2:

* Cammy's KO scream in ''[[Street Fighter]] Zero 3'' and ''[[Street Fighter IV]]'' -- "NOOOOOOOOO!!"
Line 8:
* Cecil lets out a big WHY? in the DS version of ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' after he {{spoiler|destroys}} the Village of Mist. It's followed a few lines later by a nicely dramatic "No".
* Celes does one of these in ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' {{spoiler|if Cid dies}}.
* Montblanc in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics Advance]]'' had this moment after fulfilling the request involving a townsgirl wanting to confess her true feelings, {{spoiler|who actually doesn't exist, and in turn were a whole Moogle clan out to defeat him }} waiting in Materiwood. Only in the English version, though. The Japanese equivalent to this Big "NO!" is "?????
* Auron in ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' let howl one {{spoiler|when he finds that the sacrifice of his friends, Braska and Jecht, was for absolutely nothing and tries to unleash his fury on Yunalesca. Just to get beat, literally, to death}}. A "remembrance" echo as soon he saw Tidus having the same reaction over it he remembered what happened that time.
* Eliwood does this twice in ''[[Fire Emblem|Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword]]'', first {{spoiler|when his father dies}} and later when {{spoiler|he realizes the dragon he just killed was Ninian}}.
Line 21:
** Godot does such a moment in Case 2 of Trials and Tribulations WHILE DRINKING COFFEE. (This was notably ''not'' a [[Spit Take]]; he did this ''while chugging the coffee as fast as he could.'')
** Also, he also does the same thing in Case 3.
* Stages in ''[[Elite Beat Agents]]'' and ''[[Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan]]'' are touched off with the rescuee screaming in anguish (with the Big "HEEAALLLLLP!"/"OOOUUU-EENNN-DAAAAAN!", respectively), prompting an arrival and a dramatic entrance from the titular Big Damn Heroes.
* Marcus Fenix in Gears of War 3 when he realises that {{spoiler|Dom Santiago is about to sacrifice himself in order to assist his team's escape from the pipeline. Cue the sounds of the battle fading away to reveal an instrumental of Gary Jules' "Mad World"}}.
{{quote|
'''{{spoiler|Dom}}:''' "Pullin' the plug on 'em, Marcus! Jump, will you?! Do it!"
'''Marcus:''' ''*realises what {{spoiler|Dom}} is about to do*'' "{{spoiler|DOM!!}} NO!!" }}
* [[Max Payne (series)|Max Payne]] breaks into the Big No right at the end of the opening level when he finds out that he was too late to save his wife.
** This was parodied, along with everything else concerning the first Max Payne, in the Show Within A Show "Dick Justice" in ''Max Payne 2''.
* ''[[Seiken Densetsu 3]]'': Angela finds out her mother wants to [[Equivalent Exchange|sacrifice her to unseal some magical stones]]. She shouts this at the top of her lungs, and manages to finally release her power, teleporting outside the castle.
* ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star
** When Fox gets killed in ''Star Fox 64''. Peppy and Falco don't use the Big No to a huge effect like everyone else does, but Slippy lets out a normal Big No.
** One of the bosses does it too.
** Subverted in Star Fox Assault'' by Wolf in Mission 7, where Fox rides Wolf's Wolfen. When Fox fails to protect the Wolfen, Wolf utters a soft, short "Curses." as his ship explodes, while Fox falls down screaming.
* Snake shouts a Big "NO!" in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl'' if he's knocked out of the stage as a twinkle in the sky.
** Peach goes "Noooo!" when she turns into a star too.
** As does Sonic. In both the Japanese and English versions.
Line 49:

* Averted in ''[[Tomb Raider]] Underworld'', when {{spoiler|Lara's Doppleganger shoots Alister, Lara goes over to him, when he actually dies, Lara just utters a sharp 'Dammit!', then carries his body out of Croft Manor, now on fire.}}
* ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time]]'': rather often. Fayt pulls at least two, when {{spoiler|Ameena dies}} and when {{spoiler|his father dies.}} There are undoubtedly more, as well as Albel's particularly memorable example of the [[Written Roar]].
* ''[[Folklore]]''. Within the first two minutes of the opening clip. By the boat driver.
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'':
Line 55:
** In ''Chain of Memories: Reverse Rebirth'', the Riku Replica gives one it's decided to have Naminé give him a false set of memories and make him forget that he's not the real Riku.
** Demyx gives one of these when you beat him. "Nooooo waaaaayyyy!"
* The good ending of ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'': {{spoiler|After the final battle, Mao puts up with Aurum's speech before pulling out his sword and preparing to behead the Super Hero... before deciding that he'd be better served as a research specimen. Aurum is naturally distraught at this last-minute rejection of the death he always wanted.}}
{{quote|
* Video games in general often use either this trope or [[Say My Name]] in place of the player-character's death scream. This is especially apparent in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' games.
** For example, in ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006
** In ''[[Sonic Storybook Series|Sonic and the Black Knight]]'', Sonic lets out a Big No when {{spoiler|his sword Caliburn is destroyed by the Dark Queen}}.
** In the same game, he also lets off a half-big No in the opening when Merlina warps them away before Sonic gets the chance to recover his second Chili Dog, however the subtitle is more shaped to that of a Big No.
Line 73:
** In ''[[King's Quest VII|King's Quest VII the Princeless Bride]]'' Rosella screams "Noooo!" after being trapped in a coffin underground. (And apparently yells loudly enough to be heard ''above'' ground.)
** In the second episode of the [[Fan Sequel]] ''[[The Silver Lining (video game)|The Silver Lining]]'', Alexander lets out a Big "NO!" {{spoiler|just before being energy zapped by Manannan in a vision Graham experiences.}}
* The [[Commodore 64]] port of 1984's ''Impossible Mission'' rewards the player who completed the game by revealing the villain, accompanied by a digitized, plaintive "No. ''No.'' NO! The [[ZX Spectrum]] version (when it allowed the player to reach the ending, without tripping over the [[Game Breaking Bug]]) has the picture of the villain screaming "NOOOOOOOOO!" (in the image), accompanied by a shaking screen, white noise and stripy border. You can go to [https://web.archive.org/web/20140116014007/http://www.worldofspectrum.org/speccyspoilers/ Speccy Spoilers] and grab a copy of this ending to see it for yourself (for an emulator on which to run that file, just visit the base of that URL)...
* The original ''[[Neverwinter Nights]]'' has Fenthick utter a beautiful exemplar at the end of the first chapter: "{{spoiler|Desther!}} NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
* The girls of ''[[Persona 4]]'' are known for their terrible cooking skills; the boys called anything they cook Mystery Food X ever since their first taste. The boys were terrified to learn that the girls baked a Christmas cake to celebrate little Nanako {{spoiler|recovering after getting sick from being kidnapped into the Midnight Channel}}. Kanji lets out a NOOOOOOO! when she tries the cake before they could. {{spoiler|The cake was delicious.}}
Line 83:
** There is also a black dragon named Nihil the Banished that may spawn randomly during a quest involving warping nether dragon eggs. When he spawns right before the player, he will say something about world domination, but if the player uses the device again on him, he will be banished again while yelling NOOOOOooooo....
** Archimonde's [[Last Words]] as [[Zerg Rush|wisps envelopes him]] as shown in Cavern of Time.
{{quote|
** Kel'Thuzad does this when [[Kick the Dog|players kill his kitty]].
{{quote|
** Interestingly enough, the second-to-last boss in the Nexus yells "Nooo!" when he's engaged, rather than when he's killed.
* Because it's basically a [[Once Per Episode|requisite]] for ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[The Force Unleashed]]'' has Starkiller let one out during his {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}} in the good ending. He also does it twice in the bad ending {{spoiler|(one when he sees all his friends are dead and one when he gets crushed by a space ship).}}
Line 109:
* In ''[[Chrono Cross]]'', Radius screams an all-caps Big "NO!" after {{spoiler|the evil power of the Masamune causes him to kill his best friend Garai}}.
* [[Butt Monkey|Ace Dixon]] gets a few of these in ''[[Crimson Skies]]''. The second and fourth times you shoot him down, you'll be thanked over the radio with this:
{{quote|
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=kJCLKdEBBjA&feature=related This scene, at 2:40] from ''[[
* In ''[[Luminous Arc 2]]'', Rina gave a big one after {{spoiler|Steiner died in her arms}}.
* In ''SNK Gals' Fighters'', this is one of Yuki's moves. Very useful for offense and defense.
Line 117:
* ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'': "ADAAAAAAAA!" (Leon after Ada's [[Disney Death]]).
* In ''[[Rosenkreuzstilette]]'', if Spiritia loses a life while using Lilli, Lilli will scream "TIAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" in horror as Tia suffers an explosion-styled [[Critical Existence Failure]]. Since Lilli is friends with Tia, it's kind of in a "[[We Cannot Go on Without You]]" fashion, if you ask us.
* ''[[
** Noel Vermillion is quite fond of doing these as well, especially in her win quote against Arakune in ''Calamity Trigger''.
{{quote|
*** She even lets one out in Rachel's ''Continuum Shift'' gag ending when she sees that Nirvana destroyed her marriage registration.
{{quote|
**** Don't forget a rather chilling one at the end of Tsubaki's bad ending when {{spoiler|Tsubaki dies}}
*** And one more for the road, courtesy of Makoto Nanaya after prolonged torture by Relius Clover.
{{quote|
* A lot of Artix Entertainment villains tend to use these often when they're defeated, like Ledgermayne when it's being converted back into the raw mana from which it was made by the Supreme Arcane Staff and Kitsune when he ends up being sucked into and sealed away in a rift leading him back to the Yokai world, that while saying a variation of "[[This Cannot Be!]]" in the process.
{{quote|
** Even Dr. Voltabolt in the ''[[Adventure Quest Worlds]]'' Mogloween events has one as well after his Dental Driller is destroyed.
{{quote|
'''Hero''': Serves you right! You were trying to ruin Mogloween for everyone! }}
** {{spoiler|Blizzy lets out one after Lionfang performs his [[Kick the Dog]] moment of burning the gifts, and another one after he shatters the snow globe containing the Spirit of Frostval and lays bare his intent to make the world suffer for "surrendering to evil" by destroying Frostval (which, fortunately, can't happen so easily, as the Spirit returns to Lionfang's [[This Cannot Be!|shock and disbelief]] to set things right again).}}
Line 138:
* ''[[Double Switch]]'': {{spoiler|Eddie}} yells this a few times when you trap him at the end of the game.
* Klogg from [[The Neverhood]] utters a Big No TWICE during the good ending. First, he yells it when Klaymen is about to put the crown back on Hoborg's head:
{{quote|
** And he does it again, when he {{spoiler|[[Hoist by His Own Petard|accidentally steps on the remote control for the cannon while he's about to attack Hoborg, causing it to fire at him]]}}, complete with a [[Curse Cut Short]].
{{quote|
* This can happen ''five times'' in ''[[Saints Row the Third]]'': four times during one of the possible final missions courtesy of the Boss, {{spoiler|consecutively as all of his/her buddies die}}, and once said by Killbane if you decide to {{spoiler|unmask him}}.
* Already having been tortured and beaten senseless after his capture, this is McNeill's reaction in the final Nod cutscene of ''[[Command
* ''[[Haunting Ground]]'' when Fiona {{spoiler|realises that she's trapped forever in the castle with her creepy rapist uncle. [[Justified Trope|Of course, her reaction is fairly justified]], [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|given that her creepy rapist uncle wants to do just that to her]].}}
** Also, earlier than that, {{spoiler|Fiona remembers that her parents were both killed in a horrible car crash}}, and manages to let a '''big''' one off - from three angles!
{{quote|
* In one of Wario-Man's comics in [[Wario Ware]] DIY Showcase, the pudding says, "Who says pudding can't be cool?" And then, after realizing that pudding '''cannot''' be cool, the pudding lets out a Big "NO!"
* ''[[Achaea]]'' has quite a verbose one when you get afflicted with Whispering Madness. "No! It cannot be true! I cannot accept it! I beg of you to make it stop!"
* [[Final Fantasy XIII-2]]: Noel lets one off when {{spoiler|he realises Serah is about to die from her [[Blessed with Suck|seeress]] [[Power Degeneration|powers]]}}:
