So, our heroes are fighting with [[The Dragon]]. The [[Action Girl]] activates her [[Limit Break]] and starts glowing violet. The [[Smart Guy]] unleash his [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]] and becomes all covered in green light. Their combined attack badly damages [[The Dragon]], but in response, he [[Turns Red]] - literally, as his transformation changes all his colors to red. But fear not! [[The Hero]] enters [[Super Mode]] with his body turning all gold from awesome power and is ready to unleash it all to deliver the final blow...
Line 13:
== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==
* [[
* [[Heroman]] turns red whenever he enters [[Unstoppable Rage|Rage]] [[Super Mode|Mode]]. {{spoiler|So does Joey}}.
* When [[FLCL|Canti]] combines with Naota, it turns red. {{spoiler|Naota also turns red after temporarily absorbing Atomsk's powers}}.
* In ''[[G Gundam]]'', powerful warriors turn themselves and their mecha gold when they use their most powerful attacks.
** And ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' has the Trans-Am system, which triples the machine's abilities while also turning it bright red.
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' uses it too, a few times.
* When Subaru synchronizes her [[Power Fist|Power Fists]] in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] StrikerS'' (by slamming them against each other, no less), allowing her to use [[Dual-Wielding|both at the same time]], the right gauntlet (originally her sister's) turns from purple to her native blue.
Line 23:
* ''[[Naruto]]'''s eponymous character has [[Rule of Three|three]] (so far, anyway). His eyes are blue in the normal mode, turn red in [[Super Mode]] No. 1, and Orange in [[Super Mode]] No. 2. {{spoiler|His whole body turns [[Golden Super Mode|gold]] in [[Super Mode]] No. 3}}.
* Unit 01 in ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]] 2.0'' has its eyes and neon lights (both green) turning red when it goes [[Super-Powered Evil Side|berserk]] against Zeruel. Its mouth also emits a red glow and when the chest armor is torn off, it's skin actually has a yellowish glow. Even for those who didn't see the series, these signs (and the [[Crowning Music of Awesome|BGM]]) make it clear that the [[Godzilla Threshold]] has just been crossed. Taken even further a few minutes later when Unit 01 powers up ''[[Physical God|again]]'' and turns into a purple-white glowing [[Energy Being]].
* ''[[
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!
* In ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', Toguro turns dark purple when he uses 100% of his power.
* In ''[[Saint Seiya]]'', after the Asgard arc, the Bronze Saints experience this with their Cloths turning an awesome shade of Gold (most of the time with a [[Theme Music Power-Up]]) when they properly use their full powers. Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] and [[Taking Up the Mantle]] for [[The Atoner]] Gold Saints.
Line 46:
* Biotics in the ''[[Mass Effect]]'' saga tend to glow blue when using powers or using amazing Asari biotic acrobatics.
* In ''[[Super Robot Wars]] J'', [[Martian Successor Nadesico|Akito and Gai]]'s mechas turn gold when they use their team-up attack.
* When consuming a [[Invincibility Power-Up|star]], [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]] flashes in all different colours.
** Several powerups include this: Fire (red on white), [[New Super Mario Bros Wii|Ice]] (red on light blue), [[Super Mario Galaxy|Soar]] (black on red)
* A variation of this: in ''[[Caster]]'', the protagonist appears in a certain colour depending on the currently selected spell.
* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda (
*** And due to a programming quirk, the merchant's clothes also change color to match.
** In ''[[Zelda II:
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda:
* The Trance ability in ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]''. Zidane's skin (or fur, [[Don't Explain the Joke|since he looks like a monkey]]) changes to pink. Vivi's clothes change to white. Steiner's armor gets green details. Freya's clothes change to purple. Quina's skin color changes to black. Eiko gets white clothing and yellow hair. Scarlet Head Amarant becomes [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Purple Head Amarant]]. Garnet gets pink skin and yellow hair and clothes. [[Big Bad|Kuja]]'s purple robes and silver hair both [[Turns Red|turn red]]. Unlike the other examples, [[One-Winged Angel|this is not a good thing]].
* The bosses in ''[[The Simpsons]]'' arcade game, after enough hits.
