* The Newtypes in ''[[Gundam]]'' have the ability to sense (amongst other things) hostility directed at them, which allows them to dodge attacks much faster than any normal humans can. Whenever it happens, you see a [[Beam of Enlightenment]] around the character with a distinctive sound effect, widely referred to now as the "Newtype Flash."
** In the ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' series, it's an actual ability (called "Flash" in the original Japanese, and "Alert" in the English versions), and not limited to just Newtypes. The activation of the ability is even the Gundam Newtype Flash sound effect.
* ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'': The trope turns up a lot; Kyon refers to his "danger sense tingling". You develop this pretty quick around Haruhi. It's a survival trait.
* The martial artists in ''[[Ranma ½]]'' can sense if someone is about to attack them. Ranma's is so good, he sometimes dodges attacks in his ''sleep''. This includes Akane, who really is "a martial artist, too." Takahashi just wasn't ever interested in giving her ''fair'' fights. Akane's the damsel, Ranma's the hero. (Though she manages to help him out in both the Ryugenzawa and Phoenix Mountain battles.) Unfortunately for Ryoga, his "danger sense" is also [[The Exit Is That Way|affected]] by his terrible sense of direction.
* A character in ''[[GetBackers]]'' has the ability to forsee the future in increments of a few seconds each time, up to eleven seconds (IIRC),{{verify}} with much the same effect
* In ''[[Naruto]]'', several characters, most notably Hinata's father, have demonstrated the ability to detect the intent to kill. Probably all ninjas have this skill—Naruto felt the "killing intent" of the girls in his class (who beat him up for accidentally kissing Sasuke). At this time, he hadn't even finished ninja school yet.
** Actually, it would seem that the ability to "sense" chakra is implied to be quite exclusive. Generally, all ninja can sense chakra, but there are types classified as sensors. Sensors are usually much more proficient than ordinary ninja at sensing chakra. The Hyuugas fall into this type of ninjas for their Byakugan, the Inuzuka and Aburame also falls into this type.
