Line 12:
When done against a hero, expect the [[Big Damn Heroes]] to swing in at any moment. Sometimes it's the [[Big Damn Villains]] instead. A [[Thwarted Coup De Grace]] is sure to follow.
Compare [[I'm Your Worst Nightmare]]. Contrast [[Ineffectual Death Threats]]. Also, contrast [[Don't Make Me Destroy You]], where the character is actually trying to put off the impending death (Or, at least, he is claiming that).
Contrast [[You Have No Chance to Survive]], where the character telegraphs his [[Evil Gloating|death threats]] well in advance.
Line 32:
* [[Ranma ½|Ryoga]] often enters a scene yelling, "Ranma, prepare to die!"
* The ''[[Soul Eater]]'' anime has Medusa do this to {{spoiler|Chrona}} right before {{spoiler|Maka}}'s [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment.
* In [[Suzumiya Haruhi]] (Melancholy to be specific), Kyon is about to be killed by {{spoiler|Ryouko Asakura}} - before Yuki steps through just in time to stop {{spoiler|Ryouko}} in her tracks.
* In ''[[FAKE]]'', this is combined with [[Big Damn Heroes]] and [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]:
{{quote|''Dee:'' "[[Say Your Prayers|Say yer prayers]], dickhead!"}}
Line 43:
* The Japanese version of the Punisher in ''5 Ronin'', in true Inigo Montoya-fashion
{{quote|You are soldiers of the Daimyo. You razed the house of Akagi. There is nothing more to be said.}}
* ''[[Secret Six]]'' plays with the trope a bit. Scandal is about to run wild through a group of security guards employed by a [[Complete Monster]] slaver. She says that they have thirty seconds left to live—enough to pray or make one last phone call. The guards look to each other... and some do start praying or leaving phone messages, having realized that they had it coming.
Line 65:
** ''[[Blade Runner]]'' also has a slight subversion, with the [[Stock Phrase]] as part of Roy Batty's [[Famous Last Words]]:
{{quote|'''Roy Batty:''' I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the [[Tannhauser Gate]]. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die. }}
* Emperor Palpatine in the climactic scene of ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'': "And now, young Skywalker, you will die."
* ''[[The Sorcerer's Apprentice]]'' has Horvath say "And now, young Dave, I will kill you. Yes, right here in this dreadful bathroom. Quite un-stylish, but you know, these things happen."
* Among the hammiest examples is Jeremy Irons spitting clear across the set to say "Now is your time to die!!" in the ''[[Dungeons
* From ''[[Goldfinger]]'', as [[James Bond]] is about to be cut in two with a laser (lengthwise):
{{quote|'''Bond:''' You expect me to talk?
Line 121:
* [[Eversion|READY!]] {{spoiler|TO DIE}}
* In Ascendancy, whenever you declare war on another species, the option you choose is labelled "We declare war on you. Prepare to die."
* ''[[
{{quote|'''[[Badass|Haku]][[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|men]]''': I am Hakumen! ''The end has come''!
'''[[Robot Girl|Nu]]-[[You Are Number Six|13]]''': [[Machine Monotone|Activate termination protocol.]]
Line 129:
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda CDI Games|You DARE bring light to my lair?! YOU MUST DIE!!]]'' -disco fingers-
* In [[Spyro the Dragon|''The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon'']], [[Big Bad|Malefor]] says the line directly before his final showdown with Spyro and Cynder. What makes this note worthy is his general all around character makes it come off as truly threatening. It also helps that reguardless of whether or not he wins, the Destroyer might finish them off with the world anyway, so he has a pretty good reason for telling them this.
** What makes it more effective is the simple fact that Malefor says this during the only time in the ''entire trilogy'' that [[Villainous Breakdown|he gets angry]] {{spoiler|due to Cynder breaking free of his control thanks to the [[Power of Love]]}}.
* I am [[Halo: Reach|SPARTAN]]-[[My Name Is Inigo Montoya|B312.]] [[You Killed My Father|You killed my teammates.]] Prepare to Die.
** Note that Noble Six (SPARTAN-B312) does not say this out loud, but it is the title of a sub-level/section of the level "The Pillar of Autumn."
* [[Intentional Engrish for Funny|Magneto needs to work on his grammar]]. From the ''[[X-Men (video game)|X-Men]]'' arcade game: "[[Evil Laugh|Hahahahaha!]] X-Men, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdAmkx8eAos welcome to DIE!]
* One of the infested terran's quotes in [[
** From [[Star Craft 2|the sequel]], we have this gem:
{{quote|'''Tal'Darim Executor:''' ''[[Say Your Prayers|Make peace with your gods]], defilers. You will now ''answer'' for your crimes!''}}
Line 141:
{{quote|'''Meta Knight''': Kirby, this is it! Prepare to Die!}}
** It was replaced by "This is the end! Kirby! [[Never Say "Die"|Come meet your doom!]]" in Kirby Super Star Ultra.
* Sir Ano does this in one of the Oaklore quests in ''[[Dragon Fable]]''.
{{quote|'''Sir Ano''': My name is Sir Ano de Berg'rac. You're planning to kidnap my princess. Prepare to die.}}
* ''[[Fallout 2]]'':
