Speaks Fluent Animal: Difference between revisions

* In the badass commanding-animals-in-battle category, Shido Fuyuki of ''[[GetBackers]]''. The manga goes into a little more detail: apparently, any member of the Maryuudo (i.e., Amon Natsuki, who was asked to help rescue Madoka by monkeys) can talk to animals, but it is Shido's tribe, the Shiki, that has the ability to awaken the animals' ability to think and act on the level of humans. There's also the Maryuudo's mortal enemies, the Kiryuudo, who communicate with and command bugs.

* Belldandy in ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' even makes sure to use [[Japanese Honorifics|polite honorifics]] when talking to animals. Or to some [[Haunted Technology|inanimate objects]].

** [[Filler|Apis]] would also qualify.

** Mermaids can naturally talk to fish, and Jinbe also displays this ability (remarked to be unusual for a fishman).

* In one episode of the original ''[[Astro Boy]]'', a naturalist develops a machine that can control animals using ultrasonic waves to affect their brains. He uses it in an attempt to stop a land developer from destroying a forest, first by attempting to assassinate the construction company's executives & their families with things like attack dogs & raging bulls, & when that fails, using hordes of every animal imaginable to overrun the city, before he is killed by the title character ([[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope|don't feel too bad, he was about to throw a bomb into a room full of hostages]]). In later versions of the series, Astro's little sister, Uran has the ability to communicate with animals, presumably based on the same technology, which she uses at one point to convince fellow Tezuka manga star Leo/Kimba the White Lion not to eat a terrified schoolboy.

* Prince Cab in ''[[Transformers Super God Masterforce]]''.
