Line 59:
* Mendoza in ''[[The Mysterious Cities of Gold (Anime)|The Mysterious Cities of Gold]]''.
* About every other episode of ''The Twelve Kingdoms''.
* Seto Kaiba in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh]]'' has a perpetually billowing longcoat... even when there's no wind! It billows backwards dramatically regardless of if it's indoors, underground, or in the airless vacuum of cyberspace. Perhaps he's used his [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|fabulous wealth]] to install wire ribs into his coat, much like Victorian dresses.
** Being [[Fiction 500|obscenely rich]], [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|he has screwed the law of gravity]].
** Yugi's [[Anime Hair|pointy hair]] is no match for his Coattails Of Doom!
** Fan Artists love to parody this - usually by Seto getting blown off his own [[Zeppelins From Another World|Zeppelin]] because of his longcoat!
Line 139:
* Wielding a two-handed sword and a cape in ''[[Runescape]]'' causes this even if you are in a dimension without air.
** This includes standing underwater.
* And who could forget the battle atop Riovanes Roof ([[Luck Based Mission|starring Rafa the Idiot]]) in [[Final Fantasy Tactics]] when {{spoiler|Elmdor's}} cape flaps in the wind for no apparent reason, just because {{spoiler|he's [[Card
* Tower Tycoon Palmer and Cynthia's [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/w/upload/d/d8/PalmerPlatinum.gif new animated] [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/5/51/CynthiaPlatinum.gif sprites] in ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (Video Game)|Pokémon Platinum]]''.
** As well as [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/1/18/PryceHGSS.gif Pryce's] in ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver (Video Game)|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]''
Line 150:
* Main character Hotsuma of the 2002 game Shinobi sports a red scarf that is easily twice as long as his body which flows behind him in perfect dramatic wind style.
* An example from [[Castlevania]]: In both the games he's featured in, Soma Cruz's trench-coat ''never'' stops billowing in the wind, no matter how still he's standing or where he is.
* The first ''[[Rayman]]'' game has this trope in the form of [[Big Bad|Mr. Dark]], who seems to be a [[Coat, Hat, Mask]] with hands and feet. As he [[Palantir Ploy|spies on the eponymous hero's progress]] from the top of a hill for most of the game, his cloak perpetually billows in the wind.
* [[Hot Blood|Bang]] [[Badass|Shishigami]] of ''[[Blaz Blue]]'' has his scarf that blows heroically behind him in the breeze no matter which way he's facing or even if he's indoors. Then again, it just... fits [[Large Ham|his character]] so well.
* Jude of ''[[Agarest Senki]]'' abuses this trope with flair. His scarf looks like it has a life on its own whenever he's in his idle animation, his [[Victory Pose]], or [[And Now for Someone Completely Different|his world avatar]].
Line 159:
* At the execution scene in ''[[Goblins (Webcomic)|Goblins]]'', a pretty strong wind blows.
* Lady Noga, [[Wicked Witch]] of ''[[Sluggy Freelance (Webcomic)|Sluggy Freelance]]'', manages this even [http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20050919 in Timeless Space].
* In ''[[Impure Blood]]'', Roan's [[Paper
* In ''[[Nip and Tuck]]'', [http://www.rhjunior.com/NT/00655.html it wins an argument.]
* In ''[[Endstone]]'', [http://endstone.net/2011/09/11/6-27/ when Kyri confronts Jon].
Line 221:
** Susan gets [[Dramatic Wind]] in ''Thief of Time,'' when using her {{spoiler|Death voice}} to get Lobsang's attention. Of course, being who she is, she can alter reality to suit herself.
* In Fool Moon, the 2nd book of "[[The Dresden Files]]", Harry is slightly annoyed by the fact he isn't wearing his duster (a coat regularly described as [[Running Gag|like something off the set of El Dorado]]) so it could billow dramatically as he stepped through a large hole he had just blasted in a wall.
* Also parodied in ''[[The
* Averted, unfortunately, for poor Schmendrick the Magician in ''[[The Last Unicorn (Literature)|The Last Unicorn]]''. He has no convenient wind to billow his cloak, so he has to swirl it around manually to get the desired effect.
* Parodied in the third ''[[Artemis Fowl (Literature)|Artemis Fowl]]'', The Eternity Code. {{spoiler|As Artemis and crew arrive in Chicago}} John Spiro's coat blows dramatically in the downdraft. The narrator remarks that "it was all very cinematic."
Line 261:
* Lightly parodied in ''[[Undergrads]]'': when the hero's love interest shows up, there is a light breeze playing with her hair. They are indoors.
* ''[[Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs]]'' has Flint's labcoat billowing towards the beginning of the movie. The commentary reveals that the idea was that Flint has a fan offscreen to make his life seem more dramatic.
* [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Princess Celestia]] seems to have it built into her hair.
** Her mane and tail appear to be made of some kind of energy, rather than regular hair. I guess it's magical?
*** Since she is the sun goddess of Equestria, a popular fan-theory states that her mane billows like so because of ''[[Just for Pun|solar wind]]''.
