Marked Change: Difference between revisions

 

The tattoos will usually just be either nifty/badass black pattern, or a glowing red one. Can overlap with [[Tron Lines]] and [[Instant Runes]]. Compare and contrast with [[Mark of the Beast]], for when the patterns forming are an indication of evil and [[Power Tattoo]], the more compact version. Compare [[Powerup Full-Color Change]].

{{examples}}

== [[Anime]] ==

* In ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'', Akito gets a weird, glowing pattern all over his body when he activates his mysterious Boson Jump ability. Later, others who demonstrate the ability gets similar patterns, and when a character who lacks the potential attempts to perform one, a glitchy, broken version of the marks fade in and out.

* {{spoiler|Post-[[Time Skip]] Nia}} from ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''.

* Takeru when he goes into his ED form in ''[[This Ugly Yet Beautiful World]]''.

* A variation occurs in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', when the [[Big Bad]] of the Mahora Festival arc activates her [[Magitek|forced magic circuits]]. They're mostly masked by her hair and clothing, but we're shown Negi's magic-sense POV of the patterns of glyphs [[Power Glows|glowing]] on her body.

** Used straight much later on when Negi masters a [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]] to take on the most recent [[Big Bad]].
