{{quote|'''Riza:''' Since you'll be the only one not participating in the battle, you have to give an excruciatingly detailed play-by-play of what's going on, as if you were describing it to a bunch of idiots.<br />
Line 64:
* Everyone in ''[[Kidou Tenshi Angelic Layer]]'', from Dei to [[Those Two Guys]] to the company officials, seems to find the time to comment on Misaki's matches with depth, insight, and a disproportionate amount of vested interest.
* The commentators of ''[[Ultimate Muscle]]'' are actually part of the action, and provide a great deal of the comedy.
* Minor characters Chie and Aoi do this in the second volume of the ''[[Mai-HiME (Manga)|Mai-HiME]]'' manga when Haruka and Yukino challenge Mai and Natsuki (who, at this point, are [[Teeth -Clenched Teamwork|visibly mad at each other]], since [[Love Triangle|both require Yuuichi's help]] to be effective in battle and neither wants to share) to an impromptu tag-team duel. The girls narrate the action with an air of cluelessness and an obvious bias toward Mai's team.
* A mysterious bat in ''[[Rosario to Vampire]]'' delivers brief commentary on Moka's (short) battles, and doubles as a [[Censor Box]] outside of the battles.
* What would ''[[The Prince of Tennis (Manga)|The Prince of Tennis]]'' be without them? The main culprits are the journalist Mamoru Inoue and the photographer Saori Shiiba; since she's [[Idiot of the Week|a rookie in tennis fields]], Inoue has often to explain techniques and situations to either her or the Seigaku first years.
Line 86:
{{quote| '''Asakura:''' What's this? Is it a love confession in the middle of the match?<br />
'''Asuna:''' YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THATS NOT WHAT THIS IS! }}
* Chaka does this more than once at the [[Super -Hero School]] Whateley Academy in the [[Whateley Universe]] . Since she can ''see'' Ki as it flows, she's able to tell things that no one else can possibly know. "Sensei's starting to use his Ki now..."
** Peeper and Greasy yes, those are their real codenames are the broadcast commentators for the Combat Finals at the end of term.
* ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn (Manga)|Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]''
