Line 80:
* ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]'': Touma Kamijo does this. A lot. At the climax of almost every arc he plays a major role in. He always comes up with an idealistic, heartfelt, understandable, and '''awesome''' response to ''every'' villain's [[Evil Speechof Evil]] and [[Motive Rant]]. Keep in mind that whenever he isn't up against an [[Omnicidal Maniac]], [[Magnificent Bastard]], or something of the like, he's up against a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]], [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]], [[Anti-Hero]], or someone with a backstory that makes their actions at least somewhat understandable and sympathetic. And Touma always manages to sound like the one that's right. '''ALWAYS.'''
** Of note was his response to Vento of the Front's [[Motive Rant]] and [[Freudian Excuse]]. While he ''was'' sympathetic to her, Touma basically went, "If you think that justifies you trying to kill a bunch of people (including children) who had absolutely ''nothing'' to do with your tragedy, you're stupid! Time for me to kick your ass!"
* The ever-[[The Stoic|stoic]] Sousuke Sagara does this in reverse order in the first season of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'': he first hands the villain's ass right back to him and then proceeds to use some... [[Precision F-Strike|uncharacteristically strong language]] to tell the world what he thinks of him and his views.
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has Fate taunting Negi about his weakness, how he's unable to protect his friends, how his [[Black Magic|newly acquired powers]] won't help him at all, and how he'll never be powerful to put up a real fight... Negi's response is to sock Fate in the gut, and toss off a one-liner:
{{quote|'''Negi:''' Are you sure it's not you who needs to train a little harder?}}
Line 141:
** Hey, what about ''End Of Evangelion''? She shows her disagreement with Gendo's plan by freakin' '''cutting off his right hand at the wrist'''!
*** And in the manga version, she ''tears Adam's eye out of Gendo's hand'', sending blood spraying everywhere.
* When ''[[Bleach]]'''s Ulquiorra is going to explain to [[Distressed Damsel in Distress|Orihime]] why she hesitated in protecting Ichigo, Ichigo stops him with a simple "Shut up, it doesn't matter."
** Then in the Fake Karakura Town battle, as Barragan gave an epic [[Break Them by Talking]] about how everything ages and dies, how his power is absolute, and the folly of challenging God, specifically [[A God Am I|"The God of Hueco Mundo" (himself)]]. Then when vizard Ushoda Hachigen severs his own decaying right hand and placed it in his "stomach" with his kidou. [[Hoist by His Own Petard|As Barragan rots from his own attack]], Hachigen gives this line:
{{quote|'''Hachigen''': In Soul Society, there are no gods except us shinigami, the gods of death. As such, it is difficult to take the seriousness of your claim. So, forgive us for our disbelief, [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|"God of Hueco Mundo"]].}}
Line 843:
{{quote|'''Arl Howe:''' "There it is, right there. That damned look in the eye that marked every Cousland success that held me back. It seems you have made something of yourself after all. Your father would be proud. I, on the other hand, want you dead more than ever..." }}
* At the end of the [[Godlimations]] flash RPG ''Amea'', {{spoiler|The Master Eye claims that it stealing the people's eyesight and replacing it with the "True Light" has brought them happiness and peace, and points out that all of them, even Amea herself, had chosen to follow him. Amea simply responds that the "happiness" the Eye has brought to its followers is all a lie, and that its better to face the true state of the world, no matter how bad, then to hide yourself behind the lies of a false god.}}
* Fatman, one of the bosses in [[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]], is convinced that he is a [[Mad Artist]], who will be remembered through history as the greatest bomber and demoman in the world. Raiden interrupts his little speech, snapping "You're nothing but a common criminal, and that's the only way people will remember you!"
* ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' provides its heroes with a lot of opportunities for these. One of the best examples comes from the Warrior of Light:
{{quote|'''[[Final Fantasy VIII|Ultimecia]]:''' "Why don't you just give up? The crystals are nothing more than the fabrication of a fallen goddess. To so willingly risk your life over such things is beyond ridiculous."<br />
