Line 52:
{{quote| '''Greed:''' I'm sorry, who the hell are you?<br />
'''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
{{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.
Line 58:
'''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 (Light Novel)|Baccano]]!'' breaks out a [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]] (in the fourth novel, ''Drugs & the Dominoes'') he makes it count, quoting the [[Shout
** 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 (Manga)|Girls Bravo]]'' also does this often anytime she sees the protagonist Yukinari in a hard-to-explain situation.
Line 91:
* ''[[Sengoku Basara (Video Game)|Sengoku Basara]]'': "Put Ya Guns On!"
** Every single character has one or two trademark one liners for use in the event of asskicking. Masamune who says the above also uses "Are You Ready?" and "Let's Party!".
* Done by Teresa in ''[[Claymore (Manga)|Claymore]]''. "Say your prayer you wretches. Filth like you is even lower than [[Always Chaotic Evil|Youma]]. I am going to kill every last one of you". Do not touch her [[Morality Pet]], for you are [[Curb Stomp Battle|weak]] [[Single
* [[Slayers (Light Novel)|Lina Inverse]] does this quite often.
* ''[[Trinity Blood (Light Novel)|Trinity Blood]]'' "Crusnik 02. Nanomachine output 40%. Activate."
Line 101:
** 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
** 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.
Line 139:
== Fan Fiction ==
* Subverted at one point in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon Big Damn Hero]]'': just after Kyon delivers the line to three yakuza thugs, he gets teleported away by Kuyou.
* Used by the [[The Captain|Alpha Houndoom]] in ''[[Poke Wars|Poké Wars: The Exigence]]'': "'''THIS IS THE STRENGTH OF MY PACK!'''". Cue beat down.
* "[[My Name Is Inigo Montoya]] ''[[Streets of Rage Saga (Fanfic)|Blaze]]'', [[Streets of Rage Saga (Fanfic)/Awesome|and I remember everything]]." She says this seconds after {{spoiler|her memories of the past two decades come crashing back to her mind, subverting an attempted [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|mind-wipe]] by the Syndicate}}. Cue [[Oh Crap]] from the bad guy in charge, followed by an epic beatdown.
Line 179:
* ''[[300 (Film)|Three Hundred]]''
** [[Punctuated for Emphasis|THIS! IS! SPARTA!]]
** And some other pretty awesome quotes: "Give them nothing! But take from them, everything!", "This is where we hold them! This is where we fight! This is where they die! Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time.", "Spartans! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty, FOR TONIGHT, WE DINE IN HELL!!!", "No retreat, no surrender. That is Spartan law. And by Spartan law, we will stand and fight...and die. [[Politically
*** [[Truth in Television]], some of those -- although English doesn't really have an exact analog to how "Molon labe" should be translated. Roughly speaking, what is being rendered as "Come and get them!" is more of a "You can have them if you can get to them." The modern English equivalent would be something along the lines of "You can have my weapon when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers." The line isn't really a [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]], it's a [[Facing the Bullets One-Liner|Pre Getting My Ass Kicked One Liner]], as was the other famous line from Plutarch: "Their" (meaning the Persians) "arrows will darken the sun!" "Then we shall fight in the shade."
***** The Spartans didn't get their asses kicked at Thermopylae. True they lost, but they did NOT get their asses kicked.
Line 271:
** "''Get off my lawn''".
* ''[[Air Force One (Film)|Air Force One]]'': "Get off my plane!"
* ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Film)|Transformers Revenge of the Fallen]]'' gives us this exchange as a prelude to (one of) Optimus' [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|CMoA]]:
{{quote| '''Megatron:''' Is the future of our race not worth a single human life?<br />
'''Optimus:''' You'll never stop at one... ''I'll take you ALL on!'' }}
Line 434:
'''Guy:''' Can't help it Max, you're the bomb.<br />
'''Max:''' Kaboom. (''Max delivers a [[Groin Attack]].'') }}
* ''[[
** [[Crowning Moment/Doctor Who|"Who are you calling small?"]]
** "This is a FIGHTING hand!"
Line 561:
'''Sephiroth:''' I wonder if it won't change it's mind, once I defeat you. }}
*** From ''[[Final Fantasy VII Advent Children|Advent Children]]'' after impaling Cloud on the Masamune: "Is this the [[Continuity Nod|pain you felt before, Cloud?]] Let me remind you... [[Trauma
** Zack Fair, a non-villain example: "...and above all...protect your honor...AS SOLDIER!! '''''COME AND GET IT!!!'''''" To a whole army.
** ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy (Video Game)|Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' has all characters say something when the battle starts, and a good part of the time it'll be this trope, or some sort of mocking comment about the opponent. The prequel ''Dissidia 012'' went further with custom introductory quotes for storyline battles where both character speaks. For example, this gem from the [[Final Boss]]:
Line 680:
*** And its [[Distaff Counterpart|Spear Counterpart]]: I am he who governs power. I should pose a challenge, even for you. I advice that you do not hold back. Fight as though you intend to kill.
** Every Shadow boss in ''[[Persona 4 (Video Game)|Persona 4]]'' starts with "I am a Shadow, the true self..."
** [[Badass|Kanji]]: "[[Combination Attack|I LIVE FOR]] [[No
* "[[Armored Core (Video Game)|Target verified. Commencing hostilities]]." [[That One Boss|The last words you will hear]].
* [[Killzone|Do not...toy with me]]
