No-Dialogue Episode: Difference between revisions

* The first episode of ''[[Texhnolyze]]'' comes close, but it does have a few lines of dialogue towards the end.

* Episode 9 of ''[[Mitsudomoe]]'' dedicates one of its segments to this trope. Other than a few lines of [[Angrish]] from Mitsuba, everything else is conveyed non-verbally.

** Happens again in episode 6.3 of Season 2.

* The ''[[Muteki Kanban Musume]]'' manga has a chapter nearly devoid of dialogue. It also features one of the greatest [[Unstoppable Rage|rage]] faces in history after {{spoiler|a blackbird steals a bit of Miki's lunch}}, after which, [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* ''[[Nichijou]]'' has one of these, in a sequence involving the exceptionally stressful final moments in the completion {{spoiler|and subsequent destruction}} of a card tower.

* Chapter 89 of the original [[Lupin III]] manga series went entirely without dialogue until the final page (possibly as a homage to cartoons like [[Tom and Jerry]], which the author admits to being a fan of). The sequel series also did it, but in a [[Tear Jerker|much more serious way]].

 

* The ''[[G.I. Joe]]'' comic book actually had entirely silent issues, where stories were told without dialogue, captions or even sound effects.

* [[Marvel Universe|Marvel Comics]] used this gimmick in every single comic they published cover-dated February 2002, calling it "'Nuff Said Month". As well, around the time of 9/11, Marvel had most of its comics, for the most part, silent issues, with no dialogue or little.

* [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0277.html This strip] of the [[Web Comic]] ''[[Darths and Droids]]''.

* ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'' [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0313.html #313]

* Used sparingly but effectively in [http://wordwearycomic.blogspot.com/2011/09/3-september-2011.html these] [http://wordwearycomic.blogspot.com/2011/11/29-november-2011.html issues] of ''[[The Word Weary]]''.

 

* ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' was famous for doing this (and doing it very well) for dramatic effect in most action sequences. The cartoon is almost a no dialogue ''series'' considering how many times it happened. Jack himself has no dialogue in a few episodes. Particularly notable is "The Four Seasons of Death", where only one character in one segment has any lines at all.

* ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars]]'' but it comes easier as each episode is only about 4 minutes.

* Another partial No Dialogue Episode is "Powerprof" in ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'': Aside from the opening narration, the rest of the opening segment is dialog-free. The other segments have dialog as normal. The episode "Silent Treatment" (which has the girls plopped into a silent movie) effects this, even if dialogue cards are used.

* The ''[[Angry Beavers]]'' episode "Silent But Deadly" has the beavers stuck in their house surrounded by sleeping wolverines. The entire episode is largely silent (except with music) due to the brothers attempting to escape without waking the predators up. A pseudovariation occured in a later episode in which the brothers had a competition to not talk. (They solved this by carting around giant tape players with tapes that had words on them so they could communicate. Yes, it's '''that''' kind of show.)
