Line 79:
** In the same episode, {{spoiler|Matsuda's}} response to the same rant was to {{spoiler|''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|shoot Light five times]]''. Okay, that was actually his response to Light's last-ditch attempt to kill Near, but considering that Matsuda was the closest person on the task force to ''supporting'' Kira, not to mention someone who genuinely seemed to like and admire Light, it was pretty impressive}}. In retrospect, it probably was a bad idea for {{spoiler|Light to refer to his late father Soichirou, who was Matsuda's mentor and idol, as a fool during the rant}}.
* The [[Grand Finale]] to ''[[Vandread]]'' has the lead characters do this to the [[Evil Counterpart]] of {{spoiler|the sentient [[Applied Phlebotinum]] the crew has befriended.}}
* ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical 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.
