When angry or outraged, a cross- or Y-shaped intersection of veins never fails to appear on an anime character's forehead and/or fist.
Line 8:
Usually limited to comedic anime, but some manga have started putting them in ''speech bubbles'', and they have also appeared in [[Animesque|anime-influenced Western animation]]. For example, characters in ''[[Totally Spies]]'' and ''[[Teen Titans (Animation)|Teen Titans]]'' evince both [[Cross-Popping Veins]] and the [[Sweat Drop]].

Line 38:
** In ''[[Ranma One Half]]'' manga, this was the only way to know that [[Yamato Nadeshiko|Kasumi]] was angry, which only happened once.
* In ''[[Digimon|Digimon Adventure Zero One]]]'', Mimi's Cross Popping Vein actually makes a popping sound, it's funny.
* ''[[Durarara]]'' : Shizuo Heiwajima typically has one pop up on his forehead right before he [[Hair
* ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]'' uses these rather often, usually due to Luffy being exasperating, especially in the eyes of Zoro or Nami.
* In one particular scene in [[Kaichou wa Maid Sama]], Shizuko sits through a stressful situation looking out the window, completely ignoring everyone... and with a permanent cross popping vein stuck on top of her head.
