Line 6:
Occasionally, if the character gets mad enough, extra popping veins will appear in the air around them. Of late, the veins have begun to turn into a symbol like the [[Sweat Drop]], and as seen in the illustration to the right, no longer appear to be part of the character's body. Also, there are absolutely no regulations when it comes to the size of it.
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 (

Line 12:
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Shin Chan|Crayon Shin-chan]]'': Parodied in the [[Gag Dub
{{quote| '''Happiness Bunny:''' You've caused me so much pain, it's made an anger-and-despair mark over my head! ''Look at it''!}}
* ''[[
* ''[[Fruits Basket]]'':
** Parodied after Kagura causes a big mess at Shigure's house, we get this exchange:
Line 21:
'''Shigure''': (Calmly) Oh, right. (Reaches off screen, ''grabs'' a cross vein and sticks it to his head) Now I'm mad. }}
** Also used ''nearly'' straight in regards to Ritsu. Poor Ritsu, trying to be nice, brings a couple [[Fridge Logic|fruit magazines]] to the Sohma house, which makes Shigure a tad frustrated. When Ritsu asks if something's wrong, Shigure turns to Ritsu and says "No, it's nothing," in a perfectly calm voice, with a nice genial smile. However, there's a Cross Popping Vein the size of his fist on his forehead. In the Anime version, a giant red arrow is featured, pointing to the vein. Ritsu starts running for dear life... [[The Woobie|as always.]]
* ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou
* ''[[
** What about [[Rule of Funny|the time a plant got one of these?]] Sure the robot isn't living, but plants tend to be less animate.
* ''[[Soul Eater]]'': Shinigami-sama seems to get these a lot, despite being a skeleton, and therefore [[Fridge Logic|lacking veins]].
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'': This appears regularly on the series' various [[Tsundere]]. Most notably, Asakura gets one when faced with Kurt Godel...and it is ''scary''.
* '[[Pokémon (
* Trigger from ''[[
* ''Doraemon'': It's rare, but does occur in the manga once or twice. This appears more frequently in the anime adaptation.
* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'': [[The Napoleon|Ed Elric]] has [[Incredibly Lame Pun|no shortage of these]].
Line 33:
* In [[Nana]], Nana K actually draws these on the omelets she makes for Takumi in ketchup.
* ''[[Akumetsu]]'' has this show up from time to time as part of the [[Mood Whiplash]].
* In ''[[Ladies
* Sebastian from ''[[
* [[Rumiko Takahashi]] uses them everywhere in her work, especially if its comedic (except in serious fare like ''The [[Mermaid Saga]]'' or her horror-oriented ''Rumik World'' oneshots, naturally.) They're even visible through an animal's fur, scales, or feathers, and sometimes a character visibly brushes them off to represent him or her cooling off and taking things in stride.
** 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-Trigger Temper|loses his temper]] and starts another [[Unstoppable Rage|rampage]].
* ''[[
* In one particular scene in [[Kaichou wa Maid
* Ritsuko is prone to this on the anime version of ''[[The Idolmaster (
* The Student Council Vice-President in ''[[
Line 48:
* Characters in ''[[Breath of Fire]] 2'' have it. Look for it in Highfort... especially with the Princess of Highfort.

** It also occurs in the Safari Zone when the player throws a rock or mud at the Pokemon, angering it.
** Primeape has this on its forehead.
** Mewtwo gains this whenever he launches most of his attacks in the ''[[
* In ''[[Super Mario World (
* ''[[Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story
* In the ''Izuna'' games, an excite trap will cause this to appear above your head. Excite traps are actually beneficial, though: they raise your attack power by ''pissing you off''.

* [[The Nameless Mod|Trestkon]]'s default skin has one tattooed (apparently with [[MS Paint]]) on his cheek.
* In many of the [[Disgaea]] titles, should you see one of these pop up in a speech bubble, it's an early indication someone's pissed off.
