What's the most stylish way to end a [[Transformation Sequence]], a shapeshift, or a mode change? For some heroes, it's simply to shout the name of their new form right as the [[Stock Footage]] ends. [[Humongous Mecha]] of the [[Transforming Mecha|transforming]] or [[Combining Mecha|combining]] variety are susceptible to this habit, as are [[Magical Girl
Alternatively, the name of the form can be [[By the Power of Greyskull|the activation word]] for the transformation, or at least part of it. Again, [[Super Robot
For another variation, the hero himself needn't announce his form change, but his commander, his spotter, or a piece of machinery can do it for him.
Line 58:
* ''[[Digimon]]'' :In the English version they instead call out what form they will take, which makes sense for those that can take different forms at the same level but brings questions to those didn't know they can evolve in the first place.
** Actually the Digimon call out the form they have just taken after the evolution takes place
* ''[[Bleach]]'': A [[Empathic Weapon|zanpakutou]] releases into shikai as a result of the shinigami calling out a [[By the Power of Grayskull|release activation phrase]] that ends with the
** When a zanpakutou releases into bankai, the shinigami simply announces "Bankai" and then enters the [[Transformation Sequence]]. Once the transformation has ended, the shinigami
** Arrancar have their own zanpakutou and releases, which operate in the same manner as a shinigami's shikai. Despite their zanpakutou ''not'' being [[Empathic Weapon|empathic weapons]] like those of shinigami.
* ''[[Mega Man NT Warrior]]'' gave this to Megaman for Style Changes and Soul Unisons.
Line 79:
* ''[[Power Rangers]]'' doesn't have them say the ''same'' thing every time unless they're sticking ''very'' close to ''Sentai'', but the formation of a Megazord calls for ''something,'' even if it's just "Power up!" or "Let's do it!" Often, it's the name of the formation (especially in series with numerous formations, in which case the Rangers have to help the audience keep it straight. "Predazord: Blue Moon!" "Isis Megazord: Predator Mode!")
** Though they have been known to mess this up: The second season of ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'' kept referring to Thunder Megazord as Mega Thunderzord.
** And they don't just do this for their mecha. In about half of the seasons, the team has a habit of doing individual
** ''Wild Force'' embodies this trope with its call: "Guardians of the Earth, UNITED WE ROAR! [[Power Rangers Wild Force]]!"
*** Since ''Sentai'' influence increased as of late, we get this a lot more. I give you: "[[Power Rangers SPD|Space Patrol Delta]], defenders of Earth!"<ref>''Dekaranger'' had "S.P.D.! [each of them says their names]! Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger!"</ref>
Line 87:
*** "Rangers together! [[Power Rangers Samurai|Samurai]] forever!" <ref>[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger|Shinkenger]], going forth!</ref>
** Of course, in ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'', the Rangers would often pose beneath the Power Coin symbols after morphing and yell "[[Power Rangers]]!" Back when the original Rangers were the ''only'' Rangers, there was no need to differentiate.
** ''[[Power Rangers Ninja Storm|Ninja Storm]]'' and ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder|Dino Thunder]]'' didn't have one for the whole teams, but it did have each Ranger yelling "Power of *element here!*" or "*Dinosaur here* Power!" after the morph stock footage ended. This is the sort of bit of Ranger ceremony that's different from season to season - which shouted phrases are [[In the Name of the Moon|for coolness' sake]] and which are [[By the Power of Greyskull|necessary to activate gear]], and whether the just-because yells come [[Invocation|before]] or
* '''[[Kamen Rider Black RX|"I am the child of the sun, Kamen Rider Black RX!"]]'''
* In [[Kamen Rider Den-O]], [[Kamen Rider Decade]],[[Kamen Rider Double|and every]] [[Kamen Rider OOO|series after]], the [[Transformation Trinket
* In ''[[Zoboomafoo]]'', Zoboo changes from normal lemur form to fully talking {{spoiler|puppet}} form by eating a snack from the snack machine. To better describe this process, he eats the snack, belches, then spins around shouting "Zoboomafooooooooooo!!!!!" and he can talk from there.
