Wham! Episode/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

Line 221:

* In ''[[Sekaiichi Hatsukoi (Manga)|Sekaiichi Hatsukoi]]'', episode 16 is what shocks the viewer given that this [[Mood Whiplash|series is a light hearted shonen ai comedy with some drama.]] The ending of the episode leaves a bitter taste in your mouth.

** To sum up the episode, Chiaki thinks that Hatori is cheating on him with his ex-girlfriend in high school and that he deliberately skipped out on their date to see a movie (which was staying in theaters for one last day) in order to see her. Pissed off and jealous, he goes to Yanase's house to vent. The typical drama of this series. {{spoiler|Then things take a turn for the worse when Hatori calls Yanase and Yanase says he's not handing Chiaki over. Yanase tries to confess to Chiaki a second time hoping he would take him seriously this time (and at this point, Yanase is desperate for Chiaki to return his feelings). By forcing himself on Chiaki, Chiaki retaliates by actually punching in the face (and mind you that Chiaki is the type of person that wouldn't hurt a fly) and the rejection finally causes him to [[Break the Cutie|break down]] [[Cry Cute|crying]] in front of his best friend. Naturally, what makes the situation worse is Hatori forcing his way inside the house and [[Kick Them While They Are Down|proceeding to beat up]] Yanase after he [[Heroic BSOD|literally shut down and wasn't going to fight back.]] Chiaki stops Hatori in time and Chiaki literally treats Yuu the same as always as leaving,}} which leaves a bad aftertaste considering the fact that the episode ends with Hatori explaining why he was with his ex girlfriend in the first place and Chiaki forgetting what happened. A what the hell moment with Chiaki acting like nothing happened? Sure. A [[Karma Houdini]] for Hatori in this episode? Definitely. [[The Chew Toy|Yanase is just that unlucky.]]

* [[Shin Mazinger]] had Wham Ending. {{spoiler|In the last episode Kouji finally defeats and kills Doctor Hell. The same moment sky goes red, [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] suddenly stops and wierd thigs starts coming from the sky. It's then revealed that Doctor Hell had installed a program in Baron Ashura that prevented him from comitting suicide as long as Hell is alive. Now, after tricking Kouji into killing Hell for him, Ashura takes his own life, braking ancient seal and unleashing [[Bigger Bad|Mycean Empire]], lead by Great General Of Darkness, on the world}}.

* [[Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen]] had Wham Ending. {{spoiler|In the last episode Kouji finally defeats and kills Doctor Hell.

* Episode 34 of ''[[Shoujo Kakumei Utena]]'', in which two meta characters interact with the main cast for the first time in the entire series, and in doing so casually reveal the entire plot and (almost) all of its secrets. Suddenly, everything that's happened up til then makes sense, and it's ''horrifying''.

** Not to mention episode 33, which features Utena having sex with Akio. In a clip show.

Line 259:

** Urasawa had already done it once before, at the end of volume 5 when we learn that Kenji completely failed and the [[Big Bad]] controls Japan. He does it again at the end of volume 15 when we learn they now controls the whole world and the calendar now dates from his resurrection. Yeah, that's right: the [[Big Bad]] ''replaces Jesus!''

** That part has [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|another piece of wham]] immediately afterwards: namely that the [[Big Good]] is, after 15 years (in story) and 10 volumes, most definitely ''[[He's Back|not]]'' dead.

* In a way, episode 9 of ''[[Wandering Son]]''. Takatsuki goes to school {{spoiler|in a boys uniform}}. Later in the episode Doi meets Yuki and we learn she's a transitioned [[~~Transsexual~~]]. At the end of the episode, {{spoiler|Nitori goes to school in a [[Sailor Fuku]] and wig}}. The manga has its fair share of Wham Chapters; chapter 31, chapter 32, chapter 54, chapter 63, chapter 66, and chapter 99 being the most prominent.

* The anime of ''[[Welcome to The NHK]]'' has this for episode 13. Sato shows one of the first major signs of overcoming his [[Hikikomori]] disorder when his senpai Hitomi (who he's very attracted to) seems to invite him on a vacation with her, but finds out that she has inadvertently taken him with her to a group suicide party AND has a boyfriend who proposes to her to convince her not to kill herself. This leads to him actually attempting suicide himself, since he was using her as motivation to change. In the chaos that follows, Misaki desperately attempts to save him, which leads to her showing the first real sign of her ''own'' issues. By the end of the episode the Misaki and Sato are so emotionally battered that they burst out in [[Inelegant Blubbering|combined wails]] that carry on to the end title card.

* ''[[Witch Hunter Robin]]'': Episode 12.
