Line 52:
* In ''[[Princess Mononoke]]'', when Ashitaka learns about the history of [[Adventure Towns|Irontown]], the wind ruffles his hair. And he's inside a ''bar''.
** this also happens whenever his curse starts up.
* Early episodes of ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma
* In ''[[RahXephon]]'' it seems to follow the mysterious Reika around wherever she goes.
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', commonly seen in aforementioned anime in the form of an emblazoned cape worn by Kamina or [[Fan Nickname|Captain Garlock]] for dramatic flair; alternately, in the form of the flag of the Great Gurren-dan. Notable for the fact this has even been shown to occur in space; or at the very least, the upper stratosphere.
Line 129:
* ''[[Metal Gear|Solid Snake]]'''s notorious bandanna started off as an homage to Eighties [[Action Hero|Action Heroes]], but evolved into a device to billow dramatically at convenient moments. The script for the second game even specifies this - "his bandanna streams behind him, ''even though there is no wind''." (This was arguably done to add a sense of unreality to the moment, which was right in the middle of a build-up to a [[Gainax Ending]]...)
* Extremely important in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]: [[Advent Children]]'', where Vincent Valentine's main thing is to stand around looking grim, explain things in a gravelly voice and have his cape blow dramatically.
** He does that a lot. The only thing stopping him in the original game was the fact that his cape was as stiff as a board.
* In ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]],'' wind apparently follows Rinoa and Irvine, but only Rinoa and Irvine, wherever they go. Why their hair and clothing are liable to flapping dramatically in the breeze, but not, say, Squall or Quistis's, is never addressed or explained.
** Squall's, too. Just take a look at some of the FMVs.
** Possibly justified by the fact that the hairstyles on both of them are longer and neither pinned up like Quistis' or hairsprayed to death like Selphie's, and therefore much more ''noticeable'' while in motion. Same goes for their clothes, which appear lighter, more flowing and less fitted.
* ''[[Dissidia]]: [[Final Fantasy]]'' has the Victory Poses for Bartz and Firion: they stand with their hands on their hips while their capes blow in the wind.
* [[Fire Emblem|Ike]] summons up a little dramatic wind to flutter his cape when he taunts in ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
** In Brawl's adventure mode, [[F-Zero|Captain Falcon's]] [[Dynamic Entry|dramatic entrance]] consists of destroying a giant robot as well as most of Olimar's [[Pikmin]] as he lands. The [[Beat|awkward silence]] that follows is punctuated by leaves blowing gently by. Probably also by [[Crowning Moment of Funny|the player laughing]].
* In ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'' when Luke cuts his hair he lets a clump of it go and wind blows it away. It is extremely odd considering that they are inside a building, under the crust of the planet.
Line 181:
* Disney's ''[[Pocahontas]]''. [[The Nostalgia Chick|And how]]. It's accompanied by a trail of fluorescent leaves.
* In ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'', Mojo Jojo's cape always flows in the wind, no matter where he is.
* [[Phineas and Ferb]] invokes this, when Ferb pulls out a large fan to blow some [[Dramatic Wind]] on Phineas when he's making a speach.
