Line 23:
=== Anime
==== General ====
* Done often in [[Magical Girl]] series when spells are cast, [[mons]]ters are summoned, etc.
Line 82:
* Edgar Redmond in ''[[Black Butler]]'' somehow, at dramatic moments, seems to be able to summon a wind carrying rose petals. It doesn't matter if he's indoors or standing in the middle of an open cricket field with absolutely no roses in a wide radius. No one else in the series has that ability.
===
* [[Doctor Strange]]'s Cloak of Levitation is in near-constant billow—justified since it's 1) magic and 2) associated with flight. When he stopped wearing it he adopted a [[Badass Longcoat]] look, then a housecoat with tails, just to keep the effect.
Line 105:
* Used many times in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''. For example, when Saruman is casting a weather spell from atop Orthanc, his wizard robes billow around him dramatically although it may be [[Justified Trope|justified]] because of altitude. Wind gets faster the higher up you go, and if you're standing on top of a bloody huge tower you're gonna get hit with a Dramatic Wind. Also, he was, y'know, [[Blow You Away|conjuring a wind]].
* In ''Face/Off'' some wind blows just in time to blow Castor Troy's [[Badass Longcoat]] as he exits his vehicle in dramatic fashion. This is the scene that introduces his character in the flesh (not counting a flashback sequence).
* In ''[[Final Destination]]'', whenever Death is around an ominous wind blows, even indoors.
* In what is clearly a wink-and-nod to the trope, whenever [[Pocahontas]] appears in ''[[Ralph Breaks the Internet]]'', her hair is ''always'' blowing in a Dramatic Wind. Even if she's indoors and none of her fellow [[Disney Princess]]es are affected.
Line 156 ⟶ 157:
===
* ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' used this for Susan and [[Lampshaded]] in various places (e.g., "[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2002-11-07 Badass Hair In The Wind effect with no wind is your friend]"), and even has a Q&A episode featuring "[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2006-10-25 hair manipulation fairies]". Of course now that Susan's magical [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-05-21 talent] is mostly revealed, it's a bit more iffy...
* At the execution scene in ''[[Goblins]]'', a pretty strong wind blows.
Line 197 ⟶ 198:
=== Anime
* In the [[Manhwa]] ''[[Demon Diary]]'', this trope is lampshaded when Raenef comments that Demon Lord Krayon's cape is blowing when there's no wind. The wind then dies down and the Demon Lord admits to commanding wind spirits to create the wind for dramatic effect.
* Parodied in ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]'' when Pedro faces off against Gomez: the wind blows a tumbleweed past... then three tumbleweeds... then a small army of them.
Line 244 ⟶ 245:
===
* Parodied in ''[[Tsunami Channel]]'''s ''Experimental Comic Kotone'', where the characters play with it to make [http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2002-01-10&comic=ExCoKo wind blow inside buildings] and [http://www.tsunamichannel.com/index.php?date=2002-01-11&comic=ExCoKo lighting strike without clouds]
* ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'' lampshades this in the Punch Dracula arc. A politician (who is secretly a ghost wizard) has a dude set up fans behind some flags, so the wave in the wind during his speech. [[Rule of Cool|These fans are used against him to make a tidal wave, where he is picked up in a submarine, where he promptly gets the undead shit beat out him by the McNinjas and Gordito.]]
