** When Marshal D. "Blackbeard" Teach reveals the PowerNullifier aspect of his Devil Fruit powers, he states that all of the overconfident fruit users of the world will be powerless against him. He later tries this against [[spoiler: Whitebeard,]] and promptly gets a chunk gouged out of his shoulder for his trouble. [[spoiler: Whitebeard]] then notes that Blackbeard is too reliant on ''his'' Devil Fruit Power.

-->'''Truth''': [[spoiler: You'd be content to lower yourself to a mere human?]]
-->'''Edward''': [[spoiler: That's all I've ever been; a tiny, insignificant human, who couldn't even save a little girl.]]

-->'''[[spoiler: Ryuk]]:''' Well, [[spoiler: Light,]] it looks like you've lost.

-->'''Joey''': Not bad, huh? I only wish you could have seen the look on your face when that Metalzoa of yours got shish kebabed! It was priceless.

* In the ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'' anime, Rubber Soul ends the explanation of Yellow Temperance's [[spoiler: invulnerability to attack]] with "[[GratuitousEnglish Do you understand?]]" As Jotaro is about to defeat Rubber Soul, he tells him [[spoiler: No matter how invincible that Stand may be, if I defeat the user, the Stand will die, too.]] Do you understand?"

-->'''Death 13''': Lali-...Ho?\\

* In ''Anime/GaroTheAnimation'' [[spoiler: In the past when Bernardo was acting as a decoy for German, and anna's escape he sais "Thank me when next we meet" after he turns evil, and is defeated by German these are german's last words to him before he dies.]]

* In ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', during Midoriya's first conversation with Endeavor, the latter expresses the hope that his son Shoto, whom Endeavor groomed to be a hero who will surpass the #1 Hero All Might, will triumph over All Might's protege, Midoriya. Midoriya then replies that he isn't All Might, and Shoto isn't Endeavor. Much later, during the fight with [[spoiler:Dabi, who's just revealed that he's Endeavor's eldest son Toya]], Midoriya declares that Endeavor is trying to change, "And guess what?! You aren't Endeavor!"

* In ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' the resident badass, demonic, [[{{Bishonen}} red-haired pretty boy]] [[TheChessmaster Kurama]] gets into a fight with a demonic bomber named Karasu. Early on in the fight Karasu seems to have the upper hand and as a result mimics putting a pistol to his head and saying ''bang,'' indicating to Kurama that he should just simply shoot himself rather than continue fighting Karasu. About ten seconds later, Kurama transforms into his much more powerful true form and suddenly it's Karasu who's on the ropes. Guess what gesture Kurama decides to make at this time.

* ''Manga/TheQuintessentialQuintuplets'': At one point, [[{{Tsundere}} Nino]] condescendingly tells Fuutarou that there would probably be "at least one girl on this vast world" that will fall in love with a "[[BrutalHonesty guy with zero tact]]" like him, only to eventually end up falling for him herself. She repeats the same words during during her LoveConfession in Chapter 60, and even adds "[[LampshadeHanging Well, that's me! Too bad, huh?]]"

* In ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'', Bam calls out [[TheChessmaster Yu Han Sung]] for trying to belittle Rachel's importance by comparing her to the [[SeriesGoal Top of the Tower,]] indicating that it is far more of a big deal than those petty little loyalties. To Bam, without Rachel the Tower's Top, a place of great wealth and knowledge, is nothing but a pile of garbage and people like Yu Han Sung fail to see what's really precious. [[spoiler: Then, according to Yu Han Sung's plans, Rachel betrays Bam and tries to kill him. While Yu Han Sung gloats over him, he utters these immortal lines:]] That maybe to her the garbage up there was more important than he was.

While Yu Hansung gloats over him, he utters these immortal lines:]] That maybe to her the garbage up there was more important than he was.

** And one more: After recovering his memories at the start of the second season, Lelouch declares "I am Zero, the man who destroys worlds and creates worlds!" It's also [[spoiler:his last words, and emphasizes what precisely he expects will result from his death.]]

** And still another: In episode 21, right after Lelouch [[spoiler:kills his parents]], Suzaku remembers his [[spoiler:desire to avenge Eupemia's death]], to which Lelouch replies "What of it?" Ironically, Charles tells Lelouch the same thing after Marianne is assassinated.
* In ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'', November 11's "I'm joking" CatchPhrase gets this treatment twice. Interestingly, it gets both variants, and both times it comes from Kirihara: the first variant at the end of the Havoc arc, and the second [[spoiler:when Kirihara speaks to her superior officer following November's death]].

* At the end of ''[[{{LightNovel/Durarara}} Durarara X2]]'' 's first cours, Izaya receives a phone call from [[spoiler:[[{{Yakuza}} Jinnai Yodogiri]]]]. At the very end of the phone call, [[spoiler:Jinnai]] asks "I'm sorry, but could you take a nap for a while?", at which point [[spoiler:he passes Izaya on the street and stabs him in the chest]]. At the end of ''X2'''s second cours, Izaya phones [[spoiler:Jinnai]] [[spoiler:(or rather, one of [[GenderReveal her]] many male decoys)]], and at the end of the conversation he says the exact same line before [[spoiler:a car drives up and slams into the decoy]].
* In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', "A king is there for his people. Without people there's no king!" then, "Yes, without people, there's no king. [[HeroicSacrifice But if the king is lost, then people will lose guidance.]]"
** [[spoiler:Father declares that the Truth gives "despair to the conceited" after Roy has his eyesight taken]]. Later, [[spoiler:Truth bounces the same line back at Father before [[AndIMustScream dragging him into the Gate]]]].
** "You'll ''always'' be my role model." From [[spoiler:Pride]].
** In the second episode of [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist the 2003 anime]], Edward tells a very distraught Rose, "Move forward. You've got a good strong pair of legs, Rose. Just get up and use them." He seems mad, seeing as how he only has one real leg. ''Much'', much later, Rose says to him, "You'll be able to come back on your own later, right? After all, you have perfect legs to walk with now." If, after forty-nine episodes, you remembered what Ed had said in the first place, then kudos to you.

** Similarly, after [[spoiler: Nina's death]] early in the 2003 anime, Edward gives a speech that culminates in the line, "We're tiny, insignificant humans, who couldn't even save a little girl." There, he's expressing his anger at his own powerlessness in the wake of [[MyGreatestFailure his greatest failure]]. In the climax of the 2009 anime, he spouts the exact same line to the Universe/Truth/God after he's [[spoiler: given up his alchemy and become willingly powerless in exchange for Al]], and cites his humanity as the reason he's able to make his [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice]].

-->'''Edward''': [[spoiler: That's all I've ever been; a tiny, insignificant human, who couldn't even save a little girl]].

* In the second volume of ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'', the Hellsing organisation's headquarters comes under attack by an army of ghouls and one of the vampires leading them calls the [[AncientConspiracy Convention of Twelve]], telling them "I highly recommend pissing yourselves, followed by a round of praying to your impotent God." Later, [[BattleButler Walter]] confronts the vampire (flanked by dozens of ghouls) and echoes the same words right back at him after demonstrating that he can, and ''[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome will]]'' [[RazorFloss cut every one of them down]]. The vampire's [[OhCrap reaction]] is priceless.
** There's also in volume 7, where [[spoiler: Zorin kills Pip Bernodette, and then calls him an insect. This [[BerserkButton sent Seras into a mad frenzy]], resulting in Zorin's over-the-top demise.]] Later, Schrodinger reports to The Major, "[[spoiler: Zorin]] died, Major. Like a '''bug'''."

-->'''[[spoiler: Light]]:''' Well, [[spoiler: Near]], looks like I win.

-->'''[[spoiler: Ryuk]]:''' Well, [[spoiler: Light]], it looks like you've lost.
** Can't forget... "Matsuda, you IDIOT!"

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' tends to do this a lot.
** One of these triggers Sakura's first JerkassRealization. Naruto asks to have lunch with her, only for her to coldly brush him off with the line "You're annoying". Later, she makes the mistake of insulting Naruto's lack of parents in front of [[SoleSurvivor Sasuke]], who coldly brushes her off with the line "You're annoying".
** Tsunade said that becoming Hokage was "A fool's game." Later, Orochimaru says the same thing when Tsunade protects Naruto.
** After their first battle, Sasuke coolly asked the frightened Naruto "You all right, scaredy cat?" And later, in the Forest of Death, when Sasuke was the one freaking out and about to be attacked by a giant snake (during a battle with [[BigBad Orochimaru]], at the time by far the most powerful character yet introduced), Naruto stops the snake just in time and calmly asked Sasuke the same question.

*** The above happens when Naruto and Bee pull a prank on Yamato. Bee tells Yamato that using a clone is useless because "THIS IS A SACRED TEMPLE MOTHAFUCKA! The previous generations watch over this place, your bitch-ass tricks ain't gonna fool no one!" when he suggests doing so to Naruto. (Yamato suggests this because he believes the headless statues are previous Jinchuuriki). Naruto puts his head in the hole and starts screaming. When Yamato pulls him out, his head is below his collar and Yamato is clearly horrified. Bee, however, knows that its just a joke and he and Naruto pull a laugh, while Bee admits he did the same thing and the statues are just broken. Cue Yamato getting pissed off and yelling "THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SACRED TEMPLE, 'MOTHERFUCKER'!", mostly at Bee, but Naruto too.
** During their fight in the Chuunin Exams, Neji asked why Naruto tried so hard to change his fate. Naruto responds, "Because I was called a failure." Fastforward over 400 chapters and Naruto asks Neji why [[spoiler: he sacrificed himself to save Naruto and Hinata]]. Neji responds, "Because I was called a genius."
** At the start of the Shippuden, Naruto jumps to the top of a nearby building to look at the village and proclaims it hasn't change at all. Much later, [[spoiler:Sasuke takes a similar location, only to muse the village has changed a lot]].

* In ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', when Misato invites Shinji into her apartment, the place where he is assigned to live, he sheepishly says "I'm home", to which Misato responds "Welcome home". This appears a second time during Shinji's [[TenMinuteRetirement 10-Minute Retirement]] as a MeaningfulEcho. However, it becomes twisted the third time it is used during the final sequence of ''End of Evangelion'' [[spoiler:when Rei fuses with Lilith. She whispers "I'm home", to which Lilith responds "Welcome home", shown as text flashing across the screen, followed by the initiation of the [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Third Impact]].]]

* In the first episode of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', Simon tries to take Kamina down to see the "huge face" he found while digging (the Lagann unit). At the climax of the first arc, their conversation is echoed between Simon and Rossiu when [[spoiler:the capital city of Teppelin [[TransformingMecha suddenly begins transforming in front of them]]]]:

* In ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' the resident badass, demonic, [[{{Bishonen}} red-haired pretty boy]] [[TheChessmaster Kurama]] gets into a fight with a demonic bomber named Karasu. Early on in the fight Karasu seems to have the upper hand and as a result mimics putting a pistol to his head and saying ''bang,'' indicating to Kurama that he should just simply shoot himself rather then continue fighting Karasu. About ten seconds later Kurama transforms into his much more powerful true form and suddenly it's Karasu whose on the ropes. Guess what gesture Kurama decides to make at this time.

* ''[[Manga/CaptainTsubasa Captain Tsubasa: World Youth]]'': On the Sao Paulo vs Flamengo match, Tsubasa deliberately falls on one of Santana's tackle to get a good kick-off and show him that referees are humans, and that he should stop considering himself a "soccer cyborg", finishing his tirade with "this is one of the funs things in soccer". A few minutes later, in a counter-attack near Sao Paulo's goals, Santana shoots the ball on Tsubasa's foot so that it counts as a Sao Paulo pass, thus not putting his Flamengo partner offside ''and'' putting him in an advantageous position to score the goal: as the goal is scored, Santana says to Tsubasa "this is one of the funs things in soccer" with an evil look and a SlasherSmile.
* At the end of the Yellow Arc of ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'', Red notes that his Pika has grown close to Yellow and goodnaturedly jokes that they should all live together, not realizing that [[SamusIsAGirl Yellow is a girl]]. At the end of the GSC arc, when he ''does'' find out and Misty calls him, the three of them uncomfortably realize they're in a LoveTriangle. Blue then teasingly suggests the same thing, making them all sputter in embarrassment.
* In one chapter of ''Manga/MedakaBox'', during a fight between Myouga and Nabeshima, Myouga attacks from behind and says, "I love attacking people from behind like this. This is an attack that those who do martial arts, [[TakeThat especially judo]], never taste." As the fight goes on, Nabeshima pulls the same attack and uses the same phrase, "I love attacking people from behind like this," but changes the second half to "But this is proper judo, so anyone can taste it." (Also a case of StrangeMindsThinkAlike, since Myouga was speaking in a language that Nabeshima didn't understand.)

** Prior to [[spoiler: his power-up]], Ichigo was keeping a distance from Aizen, who mocked him for his hesitance. After [[spoiler: his power-up]], Ichigo asked Aizen why he was keeping ''his'' distance.

* Can't forget a gem from ''Anime/RahXephon'', regarding the LostTechnology that lets [[TheHero Ayato Kamina]] teleport into the cockpit of the [[HumongousMecha RahXephon]]:

** Earlier in that same saga, [[BullyingADragon Babidi heaps lots of abuse on Majin Buu]], in particular calling him an idiot several times. When Buu completes his MistreatmentInducedBetrayal, he calls Babidi an idiot right before [[OffWithHisHead punching his head off]].

--> '''[[ManipulativeBastard Sideways]]''': Sorry, but if I told you then I'd have to tell everybody, and it wouldn't be much of a secret.
--> '''Evac''': Smart-alec. Crosswise, you got anything?
--> '''Crosswise''': Well, I heard someone say something about a [[MacGuffin Cyber Planet Key]]...
--> '''Evac''': Oh, so that's it. Sorry, but you're way off base. What you're looking for isn't here.
--> '''Sideways''': Then where is it? Tell me!
--> '''Evac''': [[IronicEcho Sorry, but if I told you then I'd have to tell everybody.]] But I do have [[SuperPersistentMissile something for you]]...

** In the hospital Kyosuke says he can't feel the pain anymore after smashing the CD Sayaka gave him in a fit of rage. [[spoiler:After Sayaka becomes AxCrazy and LaughingMad in her fight with Elsa Maria she repeats this.]]
** The phrase "with my own hands" ("kono te de"). Homura says it when declaring that she will kill all the witches and Walpurgis herself, and when she is about to kill [[spoiler:Sayaka to prevent her from becoming a witch. But she does not successfully do either of these things]]. Madoka uses the phrase at the end, while announcing her intent to [[spoiler:[[RetGone erase literally all the witches to have ever existed, including Walpurgis.]] Which she does. She also "kills" Sayaka and takes her to WarriorHeaven so she won't become a witch]]. [[SubbingVersusDubbing The English dub has no such echo.]]
** [[spoiler: One of Kyubey's sales pitches to Madoka is that she can wish herself to become a god if she so desires because of her enormous magical potential. In Episode 12, Madoka's wish breaks the laws of causality, prompting Kyubey to ask if Madoka really wishes to become a god. Madoka simply states that he can call her whatever he wants, so long as her wish is fulfilled.]]
* ''Anime/YuGiOh'' has an example during the semi-finals of the Duelist Kingdom arc (in the dub), when [[TheLancer Joey]] duels [[SmugSnake Bandit Keith]]. This comes after Bandit Keith leads Joey straight into a trap:

* The Cloverway English dub of ''Anime/SailorMoon S'' did this with Mimete's death. Mimete steals an assignment from Telulu by imitating Dr Tomoe's voice and telling Telulu she won't be needed. However she's caught out when she says "ta-ta" as Telulu recognizes it as something the doctor would never say. In the original Japanese, she said "goodbye, idiot" before killing Mimete. But in the dub, she says "Ta-ta, Mimete" as a way of rubbing Mimete's slip-up in her face.
* In an early episode of ''Manga/ChisSweetHome'', Mrs. Yamada keeps trying to housebreak Chi, but the confused kitten keeps peeing everywhere but where she should be, including on newly-clean laundry. When Mr. Yamada comes home and finds out, he jokingly says, "The laundry was left out over there, so it couldn't be helped.", much to his wife's annoyance. A few moments later, they discover that Chi peed on his favorite bag that was on the floor, and she tells him, "It was left out over there, so it couldn't be helped, right?"
* In the ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'' anime, Rubber Soul ends the explanation of Yellow Temperance's [[spoiler: invulnerability to attack]] with "[[GratuitousEnglish Do you understand?]]". As Jotaro is about to defeat Rubber Soul, he tells him [[spoiler: No matter how invincible that Stand may be, if I defeat the user, the Stand will die too.]] Do you understand?"
** Another instance happens against Death 13 [[spoiler: where Kakyoin repeats Death 13's catchphrase after he managed to get his stand into the dream world, meaning, he can now fight back]].

** Also in the Death 13 episode, when Kakyoin encounters the Stand for the second time, [[spoiler:it says "I may be a baby, but I can still snap your neck". In the third and last encounter between these two, which is a situation where Kakyoin actually can fight back, he says to Death 13 "You may be a baby, but I can still snap your neck"]].
** In the FinalBattle, [[spoiler:when it looks like Jotaro has the upper hand, DIO thinks to himself that he'll win for because he lives "for one reason, just one simple reason" -- to win and be the strongest. Then he pulls a surprise attack, but Jotaro manages to counter it and land the killing blow. Afterwards, he tells DIO's corpse that he lost "for one reason, just one simple reason...because you pissed me off."]]

* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'': [[TortureTechnician Yamori]] asks [[ExtremeDoormat Kaneki]] to count down from 1000 by sevens to keep conscious while he's being tortured. Once Kaneki's [[AntiHero pushed too far]], he swiftly [[CurbStompBattle hands Yamori's ass to him on a platter]], pins him to the ground, gives a chillingly cold smile, and asks him, "''Hey, what's 1000-7?''"
* ''Anime/YourName'': At the start of the film, the protagonists say that a feeling of searching for something or someone has possessed them ever since a day when there were falling stars and that "It was almost as if a scene from a dream. Nothing more, nothing less than a beautiful view." Much later on, after TheReveal that [[spoiler:the so-called falling star has very much dire consequences for one of them]], the same line is repeated to now-chilling effect.
* A nonverbal variant occurs in the first part of ''Anime/FiveCentimetersPerSecond''. Takaki had written a letter to Akari containing his compiled thoughts, [[spoiler:only to have it get accidentally blown away by the wind before he could pass it to her in person. As his train leaves Iwafune Station after their meeting, Akari takes out a letter of her own that she had written to him, but didn't pass it to him during the meeting.]]

** When Marshal D. "Blackbeard" Teach reveals the PowerNullifier aspect of his Devil Fruit powers, he states that all of the overconfident fruit users of the world will be powerless against him. He later tries this against [[spoiler: Whitebeard]], and promptly gets a chunk gouged out his shoulder for his trouble. [[spoiler: Whitebeard]] then notes that Blackbeard is too reliant on ''his'' Devil Fruit Power.

* In ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'', Baam calls out [[TheChessmaster Yu Hansung]] for trying to belittle Rachel's importance by comparing her to the [[SeriesGoal Top of the Tower]], indicating that is far more of a big deal than those petty little loyalties. To Baam, with out Rachel the Tower's top, a place of great wealth and knowledge, is nothing but a pile of garbage and people like Yu Hansung fail to see what's really precious. [[spoiler: Then, according to Yu Hansung's plans, Rachel betrays Baam and tries to kill him. While Yu Hansung gloats over him, he utters these immortal lines]]: That maybe to her the garbage up there was more important than he was.

** When Sasuke departs the village and receives his first power-up, he's told that in order to gain the power he must die (as in, taking a pill that puts him into a death-like state). Four years later when learning how to be a sage, Naruto is told he must die (although it turns out that the toad telling him this was MetaphoricallySpeaking).

* At the end of the Yellow Arc of ''Manga/PokemonSpecial'', Red notes that his Pika has grown close to Yellow and goodnaturedly jokes that they should all live together, not realizing that [[SamusIsAGirl Yellow is a girl]]. At the end of the GSC arc, when he ''does'' find out and Misty calls him, the three of them uncomfortably realize they're in a LoveTriangle. Blue then teasingly suggests the same thing, making them all sputter in embarrassment.

* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', minor villain Bellamy condescendingly asks Luffy (who he believes to have a 30 million belli bounty, as compared to Bellamy's 55 million) "Do you even know how to throw a punch?" Luffy, who doesn't care much what an idiot like that says, doesn't reply until Bellamy ''really'' pisses him off by further insulting the friends he'd already beaten up. In a CrowningMomentOfAwesome (of the entire series), as Bellamy rockets around on his springs while dramatically taunting him, Luffy calmly lifts up one fist and echoes "Do I know how to throw a punch?" He then takes the guy out ''[[CurbStompBattle with one punch.]]''

** And yet another: BloodKnight Luciano Bradley has a little spiel he goes through where he asks his opponents what's "really important" and concludes it with "That's right. Your life!" before killing them. Kallen throws it back in his face just before she kills him as part of the CrowningMomentOfAwesome that is the Guren SEITEN's debut battle.

* In the second volume of ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'', the Hellsing organisation's headquarters comes under attack by an army of ghouls and one of the vampires leading them calls the [[AncientConspiracy Convention of Twelve]], telling them "I highly recommend pissing yourselves, followed by a round of praying to your impotent God." Later, [[BattleButler Walter]] confronts the vampire (flanked by dozens of ghouls) and echoes the same words right back at him after demonstrating that he can, and ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome will]]'' [[RazorFloss cut every one of them down]]. The vampire's [[OhCrap reaction]] is priceless.

'''Dr. Kisaragi:''' [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Really, I wonder how that thing works.]]

* In the second volume of ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'', the Hellsing organisation's headquarters comes under attack by an army of ghouls and one of the vampires leading them calls the [[AncientConspiracy Convention of Twelve]], telling them "I highly recommend pissing yourselves, followed by a round of praying to your impotent God."

The vampire's [[OhCrap reaction]] is priceless.

** Also in the Death 13 episode, when Kakyoin encounters the Stand for the second time, it says "I may be a baby, but I can still snap your neck". [[spoiler:In the third and last encounter between these two, which is a situation where Kakyoin actually can fight back, he says to Death 13 "You may be a baby, but I can still snap your neck"]].
