Line 15:
* Touma From ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'' does this always before finishing the current arcs ''[[Big Bad]]''
{{quote|'''Touma:''' I will break it... That illusion of yours!}}
*:* Accelerator has two while [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomping]] {{spoiler|Awaki}} {{spoiler|"just because i've gotten weaker doesn't mean you're stronger now does it?"}} and "Sorry, but this is a one-way-road!" (NOTE: the other reading for the Kanji to Accelerators name reads "ippotsuko" or "one-way-road")
* ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'': "WHAT--DID YOU DO--TO--MIAKA? I asked you a question, DAMN IT!"
* Several in ''[[Bleach]]''. For example, Aizen before rendering Hitsugaya a bloody mess. "Don't use such strong words. They make you look weak."
Line 33:
{{quote|'''Greed:''' I'm sorry, who the hell are you?
'''Izumi:''' PISSED OFF! }}
*:* And the end of the manga with the fight against Father. {{spoiler|All of the alchemists are pounding on Father like there's no tomorrow, Ed's automail arm is completely destroyed, Al sacrifices his soul to bring Ed's real arm back, and at this point, Edward is majorly [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|pissed,]] and brings back a line from the ''very first chapter'':}}
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Edward:''' [[Precision F-Strike|Get up, you worthless fuck.]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|It's time you learned why you're not in our league!]]}}}}
*:* Since nobody actually got hit, it might not count, but one good line was from Episode 2's penultimate scene, when Ed responds to Father Cornello's underestimation of his alchemic powers by '' {{spoiler|[[Bolt of Divine Retribution|animating a statue of god the size of a church to deliver a warning shot]] [[Power Fist|in the form of a punch.]] }}'' Cornello only survived this because Ed is the most pacifistic of all main characters, aside from Al. Considering Ed spends about 97% of his time kicking ass, this is saying something.
{{quote|'''Cornello:''' You didn't fool me with that little display down there. Without this, the only alchemy you can perform is to your own metal arm.
'''Edward:''' You know what? You're not the only one who can't stand doubters, Preach'. [[Badass Boast|Here's the REAL hammer of God!]] }}
*:* This scene was, unfortunately, subjected to a lot of narm in ''Brotherhood,'' primarily in terms of animation. Worst of all, though, is that Ed's [[Badass Boast]] was changed to a simple, "You want it? You got it!" Combine this with it being changed from the big dethroning moment where Cornello's power is outdone in front of his followers to an ordinary fight scene, and this is pretty big disappointment.
* The one time {{spoiler|Claire Stanfield}} of ''[[Baccano!]]!'' breaks out a Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner (in the fourth novel, ''Drugs & the Dominoes'') he makes it count, quoting the [[Shout-Out|first spoken lines of dialog]] in the ''history of film'': "[[wikipedia:The Jazz Singer (1927 film)|You ain't heard nothing yet!]]"
*:* Jacuzzi in the anime, right before his [[Traintop Battle|traintop]] beatdown of Goose: "I have a gun...''in my heart!''"
* The hot-headed Kirie "Jump-to-conclusions" Kojima of ''[[Girls Bravo]]'' also does this often anytime she sees the protagonist Yukinari in a hard-to-explain situation.
{{quote|'''Miharu:''' Yes, we were in the bath together.
Line 64:
* Yusuke from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]''. Anyone remember in the beginning when he was fighting Suzaku?
{{quote|'''Yusuke''': For all your careful planning, you made one mistake. You went and pissed me off!}}
*:* I seem to recall a really good one from that fight from the English dub that went something like this:
{{quote|'''Yusuke''': Alright, if you call off your goons now, I'll only rip out one of your lungs.
'''Suzaku''': And if I refuse?
'''Yusuke''': ''Then hold your stinkin' breath!'' }}
*:* That fight Yusuke had with Jin during the Dark Tournament Saga:
{{quote|'''Yusuke''': (''about to fire an attack into Jin's that will surely kill them both'') Let's see which one of us can take a bigger asskicking!|What's amusing is Yusuke's follow-up reaction: "Damn! At least one of us should have died!"}}
* ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'': "Put Ya Guns On!"
Line 80:
{{quote|'''[[Spell My Name with an "S"|Chu/Chew]]''': What did you say was over?
'''[[Improbable Weapon User|Usopp]]''': ''This fight!'' Did you know that grog burns? (''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Usopp lights Chu up like a Christmas Tree]]'') }}
*:* The perhaps most epic one: In Enies Lobby, Luffy is informed that its garrison numbers in the tens of thousands.
{{quote|'''Luffy''': And I'm alone. '''Get out of my way!'''}}
*:* There's also {{spoiler|post-timeskip}} Luffy who gives us one with only one word. He's fighting the same exact pacifista that {{spoiler|defeated and scattered all nine straw-hats two years before.}} It shoots a laser ''made of light'' at Luffy who remarks; "slow." [[Single-Stroke Battle|Then lays it down for good with one jet pistol.]]
*:* Luffy stands atop a building calling out for Bellami who asks Luffy if he "even knows how to throw a punch" causing the observing crowd to burst in laugh, Luffy simply says "you want to know if I know how to throw a punch?" and proceeds to one-hit Bellami, the crowd instantly goes silent.
*:* Zoro also has many of these. For example this golden line in the Fishman Island battles, when he fights an eight-sword-wielding fishman. Zoro slices the fishman's swords ''[[Up to Eleven|horizontally]]'' and stares very scarily at the merman.
{{quote|'''Zoro''': You want to kill me?! [[Blood Knight|You couldn't even kill my boredom!!!]]}}
* ''[[Gintama]]'' has a lot, whether they are hilarious lines -
{{quote|'''Matsudaira''': Wash your own shitty underwear!}}
*:* Or serious lines -
{{quote|'''Gintoki''': Don't ever show your face around her again, you sick son of a bitch!}}
* ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]'': Moka's ever famous "KNOW YOUR PLACE!" Followed by a kick to the face.
