* A more literal version of this is in ''[[666 Satan]]'' where the character [[Punny Name|Spika]] has an [[Applied Phlebotinum|O-Part]] that can materialize words she shouts into them that are like what she says (for example, when she yells "Spikey" the word "Spikey" in Japanese will appear in block letters with spikes coming out).
* In the 12th movie of ''[[Dragon Ball]] Z'', Pikkon finds out that the hold that Janemba, the [[Reality Warper|reality-warping]] [[Big Bad]], has over the afterlife is weakened by harsh words. So after he releases Enma Daiou, he joins Goku and Vegeta in the battle, and holds Janemba off by [[Cluster F-Bomb|cursing at him]], breaking apart his face, then firing ki blasts at him.
* In the 4th arc of ''[[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]'', the character Koichi gets various forms of this as his stand power. What happens is that if his stand hits another person words get written on him or her which start to call out whatever the word is in an increasing volume. Next is when he makes a word and throws it onto something if someone touches the word the effect will take place. (Touching the word Whooosh blows someone away, touching Burn cause someone to catch on fire, and touching Bounce will cause someone to bounce off of whatever the word is one regardless of how sharp the object is normally without harm.
* In the anime (and original manga) ''[[Loveless]]'', characters participate in Spell Battles where words do exactly what they say, restraining, cutting, burning, or banishing opponents. The effectiveness of an attack seems to be directly related to the floweriness or complexity of the spoken "spell".
* In ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', one psychic has the ability to create a territory in which no one can say a taboo word. Anyone who does has their soul ripped out.
