* ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'': In Episode 33 at one point, an awkward-looking Utena is lying on a bed but we only see her face, her bare shoulders, and her hand as she babbles about food and what she should make for lunch tomorrow. At some point she bites on her knuckle, then keeps speaking about the meal in an increasingly desperate and moaning tone. The animators stop getting crap past the radar and downright push it down when she shudders and shivers repeatedly, then tenses up and goes still for a millisecond while breathlessly gasping "Tell me..." while the screen goes to black. Soon we see her hand... which holds onto a man's dark skinned own. Yep, Utena just had sex with Akio, on-screen. Now keep in mind that she's in eighth grade and he's a hell of a lot older (and even more so when we consider his backstory)... and the consent is dubious enough to make the scene count as Rape as Drama by many people's sensibilities. (The kanji seen flashing in the background at some point, i.e., can be read as "Stop it, stop it, stop it...".)

Destiny... Destiny... Destiny...''"
* ''Manga/DominaNoDo'' has Ayako, where after having a {{yandere}} moment, travels with the Domina's Family grandmother, sending a note to Takeshi for him to wait for her. The phrase "wait for me" goes on for several pages, growing increasingly erratic with each new line.

** Saika's constant spamming of "Mother mother mother..." (and later [[spoiler:[[StalkerWithACrush "Shizuo. Heiwajima Shizuo. Heiwajima Heiwajima Heiwajima...Shizuo Shizuo Shizuo Shizuo Shizuo..."]]]]), on the other hand, is a textbook MadnessMantra.

Suddenly, he's butchering them all to pieces in a swearing fit of "DAMMIT," punctuated by horrendous amounts of gore as he enters a berserk rage and starts killing them all like a rabid beast. Nirvash spawns ''[[RedEyesTakeWarning red, glowing eyes]]'' as Renton mangles them all, finally leading up to a when he sees an evil shadow with his own face, laughing maniacally. Renton peels open the last mecha left intact, screams wildly, then stamps Nirvash's boot down on the exposed cockpit with the pilot ''still inside'', '''''squashing him like a bug'''''. Unfortunately, what was left of him- namely, [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank tons of blood]] and the [[AnArmAndALeg severed arm]] of a [[EmpathyDollShot married man]]- hitched a ride on the sole of the boot- which Renton saw crystal clear. Immediately followed by total HeroicBSOD, MyGodWhatHaveIDone, and vomiting.

* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' has Seras going berserk after [[spoiler: Zorin Blitz kills Pip and refers to him as an insect]] and screaming "[[ThisIsUnforgivable Unforgivable]]... Unforgivable... Unforgivable... Unforgivable!" (Japanese) or "You'll pay... You'll [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] pay. You'll fucking pay. You'll fucking pay!"

When Laura tries to protest by saying this is a matter between husband and wife, we get this exchange:
-->'''Laura:''' Instructor, this is a problem between husband and wife!\\
'''Chifuyu:''' Husband and wife? YouFool I'd never accept a rude girl like you as my sister-in-law!\\

* ''Manga/KoharuNoHibi''. [[{{Yandere}} Koharu]] to Akira: "I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you."
* "I want to become a bird!", from the infamous "snail parasite" story from Volume 4 of ''Manga/TheKurosagiCorpseDeliveryService''.
* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'':
** In ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Phantom Blood]]'', [[BigBad Dio Brando]] has a knack for saying how "useless" anyone's efforts were when he believes he has the upper hand. At one point during his battle with the protagonist Jonathan Joestar in Windknight's Lot, he kept repeating the word "useless" over and ''over'' again just to emphasize how hopeless the situation was for Jonathan. Fast forward a century later during ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'' and now, he blurts out "muda" (AKA the Japanese word for "useless") in rapid succession ''as a battle cry'':
--->"[[NoIndoorVoice MUDA]] [[AxCrazy MUDA]] [[MemeticMutation MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA!]]"
** In ''Stardust Crusaders'', during the high-stakes poker match between protagonist Jotaro Kujo and D'arby the Gambler, Jotaro turns things in his favor by [[NervesOfSteel stoically betting]] the souls of two of his comrades and that of ''his own mother'', having at his disposal a hand of cards he hasn't even looked at and asking D'arby to match his wager by revealing the secret of [[BigBad DIO]]'s Stand if he loses; the idea of betraying his master, combined with the thought of Jotaro's Stand having switched cards without him noticing, take a toll on the Gambler when Jotaro starts pressuring him into calling his cards. Cue D'arby's InnerMonologue trying to ''convince'' himself into calling (which fails miserably as he realizes [[CantSpitItOut he's too terrified to do so]]):
--->"''I'll say it! I'm the greatest gambler in the world! I'll take this bet! I'll CALL!! Call, call, call, call, call, call, call, call... I'm going to call!!!''"
** In ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Diamond is Unbreakable]]'', [[spoiler: Rohan]] learns that when he was found after [[spoiler: Reimi's HeroicSacrifice for his child self]], all he could say was:
--->"[[spoiler: Reimi]] [[DestinationDefenestration threw me out of the window]]! [[spoiler: REIMI]] THREW ME OUT OF THE WINDOW!"
* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'': "Make them atone. Don't forgive. Kill them all."
* In ''Manga/MinamotoKunMonogatari'' Rokujou's sanity is way gone when Kaoruko tells her that Terumi does not love her and doesn't need her like she would like to believe. One panel is so dedicated to her thinking thoughts like "Lies, No way, You're wrong", etc. that the words are overlapping with each other.
* Episode 4 of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'' has [[TragicVillain Loni Garvey]] repeating "Sieg Zeon" in the final few minutes, having been BrainwashedAndCrazy by her mobile armor's psycommu system.
* ''Manga/{{Monster}}'': "Kill him... kill him... kill him..."
**[[spoiler:When Johan begins to explain his intentions to Nina]] "The end... the end... the end... the end... the end... the end... the end... the end... the end."
** This little snippet from Episode 29: Dr. Gillen is interviewing the murderer Peter Jurgens. He shows Peter a picture of Johan and Peter says that he does not know him, and then he asks him for a pen. He takes the pen and begins shading around the face of the man in the picture. He tells Dr. Gillen that on the second day of the murder, he had gone to the park; he was telling himself that he wanted to stop, and then he saw the man surrounded by children there. Peter then repeats the words "You should come too" (or "Come with us" in the English dubbed) over and over again while some ominous little tune plays and the camera does a close up on his expressionless face. He then takes the pen and plunges it into his right ear. Blood squirts out and he falls over dead.
* Most main characters from [[{{Franchise/Nasuverse}} Nasu's series]] usually gets [[SignatureStyle one or even several mantras]].
** ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'': '''This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair.'''
* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': "I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away..." An attempt at a SurvivalMantra that didn't really work.
** Made hilarious in the outtakes: "I mustn't run away, I m-ok, I got that, good, ok. Now, if I were to run away-let's analyze that-, '''[[PrecisionFStrike where the fuck would I go?!"]]'''
** Then there's Asuka's "I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die!". It becomes even creepier when [[spoiler:her mother]]'s "You are not alone. You are not alone. You are not alone" gets piled over it. Unlike Shinji's example above, Asuka's mantra does work. [[spoiler:[[DownerEnding For about 15 minutes]].]]
*** It becomes even creepier still when you realize that interspersed with [[spoiler:her mother]]'s "You are not alone." is the shrill voice of [[spoiler:the half of her mother that went crazy and hung herself]] shrieking "Please die with me!"
** Asuka also muttered "I'll kill you... I'll kill you... I'll kill you... I'll kill you..." when she made her [[spoiler: unpowered, impaled and gutted]] EVA move via sheer force of will. [[spoiler:[[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice For about 40 seconds]].]]
** Then there's Shinji's "I can't take it anymore... I can't take it anymore... I can't take it anymore..." from ''End''. That one really counts as a Madness Mantra since he's losing his grip on reality at that moment. [[TruthInTelevision Using a negative phrase in a Mantra is usually not a good idea.]]
* Usopp of ''Manga/OnePiece'' seems to like doing these, particularly after experiencing the danger his shipmates tend to love.
-->'''Usopp:''' Sky island scary, sky island scary, sky island scary, sky island scary...
* ''Manga/PandoraHearts'' has this:
-->'''[[spoiler:[[{{Yandere}} Jack]]]]:''' ''[after [[spoiler:Glen]] says that [[spoiler:Lacie]] can't be brought back]'' Unacceptable! Unacceptable! Unacceptable! Unacceptable! Unacceptable! Unacceptable! Unacceptable! Unacceptable!
* ''Literature/{{Paprika}}'': A creepy chorus of dolls in the parade chants: "No more anger! Our world is happy and mundane!"
* ''Anime/PerfectBlue'': Excuse me, who are you?
** Also, on the fax Mima receives from [[AxeCrazy Me-Mania]] "'''TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR...'''"
* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'': The early part of Oktavia's labyrinth has "Look at me" written all over it.
** The [[CypherLanguage runes found in witches' barriers]] always translate into this.
* ''Anime/PumpkinScissors'': Töten Sie! Töten Sie! [[GratuitousGerman ("Kill them!")]] [[note]]The line actually says "kill" in the imperative and polite (plural) form. A correct translation of "kill them" would be "Tötet sie!"[[/note]]
* ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'': In episode 33 at one point, an awkward-looking Utena is lying on a bed but we only see her face, her bare shoulders, and her hand as she babbles about food and what she should make for lunch tomorrow. At some point she bites on her knuckle, then keeps speaking about the meal in an increasingly desperate and moaning tone. The animators stop getting crap past the radar and downright push it down when she shudders and shivers repeatedly, then tenses up and goes still for a millisecond while breathlessly gasping "Tell me..." while the screen goes to black. Soon we see her hand... which holds onto a man's dark skinned own. Yep, Utena just had sex with Akio, on-screen. Now keep in mind that she's in eighth grade and he's a hell of a lot older (and even more so when we consider his backstory)... and the consent is dubious enough to make the scene count as Rape as Drama by many people's sensibilities. (The kanji seen flashing in the background at some point, i.e., can be read as "Stop it, stop it, stop it...".)
* ''Anime/RODTheTV'':
-->"John Smith got his forest burned down.\\
That's why he planted new trees.\\
A lot, a whole lot, and a lot more...\\
A lot, a whole lot, and a lot more..."\\
A lot, a whole lot, and a lot more..."
* ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'': Tsukune's Ghoul form repeats the word "kill".
* ''Anime/SailorMoon'': ''I won't forgive you. I won't forgive you. I won't forgive you. I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!!" from the first episode of the 5th season.
** In the last season, when [[spoiler:Galaxia reveals that she's killed Tuxedo Mask]], Sailor Moon is briefly reduced to only being able to say "[[spoiler:Mamo-chan]]...is dead..." over and over.
** A much more prevalent one throughout the second half of season 4 is "Yume yume utagau koto nakare; yume miru kodomo no yume no yume", translated in the subtitles as "Dream dream don't doubt it; a dream of dreams that children dream". (Or, for a more rhythmic translation, "Never ever forget to remember, a child's dream is a dream forever.") It becomes more and more [[NightmareFuel disturbing]] the more it's used.
* Fumio of ''Manga/SaitamaChainsawShoujo'', just before [[{{Yandere}} snapping due to being dumped]] by her boyfriend, uttered a mantra of her own.
-->[-"'''Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable!''' '''''TOTALLY UNFORGIVABLE!!!'''''"-]

* ''Manga/SeraphOfTheEnd'': When Yuu lets his SuperpoweredEvilSide take over he repeats "Annihilate the sinners."
* ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'': "Beep... beep... ... beep... ..... beep...."

* ''Manga/{{Shiki}}'':
** [[spoiler:Megumi-chan is going to come and kill me. Megumi-chan is going to come and kill me. Megumi-chan is going to come and kill me.]]
** "Damn you old man, damn you old man, damn you old man..."
* ''VisualNovel/{{Shuffle}}''. [[{{Yandere}} Kaede]], in episode 19, tells either of these at Asa after snapping on her:
** In the original Japanese: "Go back. Please go back... Please go back... Please... go back... Go back... Go back... GO BACK! GO BACK! GO BACK!"
** In the English dub: "GetOut. Get out of this house. Get out of this house. Get out... Get out.... Get out. Get out! OUT! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! GO AWAY!"
* ''Manga/SoulEater'': "Jijijijijijiji... Jijijijijijiji..."
** "I don't know how to deal with this... my blood is black... I'll kill you all. Kill you. Kill you. Kill you."
** "An apple. An apple. An apple. An apple. An apple. An apple. An apple. An apple. An apple."
** "Wrath of the Pharaoh! Wrath! Wrath! Wrath! Wrath! Pharaoh! Pharaoh! Pharaoh! Wrath! Wrath! Wrath!"
** [[DotingParent "MAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMAGHAAAAAAA!!!!!"]]
** There is one that crosses into the territory of both DarkComedy, OverlyLongGag, and BrickJoke in chapter nine of the manga (where Free makes a brief cameo), that, while setting up the mood of the Witch Jail (ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext/ ItMakesSenseInContext), a background character repeatedly adds one and two together, while never coming up with the solution to the problem, thinking that he's multiplying what he's adding, much to the annoyance of the one lone guard who has had to put up with him for an undetermined amount of time. This is interrupted by Free, much to the shock of both the guard's and prisoner's shock, who silences him with his own hinted mantra:
--->'''Free''': I can't see... I can't see anything... I really wanna see a fine comedy...
* ''Anime/TekkonKinkreet'' has White's repeating mantra, "''be happy be happy.''"
* From the English dub of ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'', episode 8:
-->'''Ryoko:''' Diapers. Diapers. Diapers. Diapers. Diapers.\\
'''Ayeka:''' Milk. Milk. Milk. Milk. Milk.
* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'':
** In chapter 66 Furuta is furious after Eto insults him and says to her "Die...die...die...die...die...die...die..."
** When Kaneki is getting tortured by Yamori by having his toes and fingers clipped off repeatedly and being left to grow back (because Kaneki's a ghoul) before Yamori clipped them off again. Kaneki stated "My fingers and toes regrew as if they were nails and hair over and over and over and over and over..."
* One episode of ''Anime/WitchHunterRobin'' features an obsessive-compulsive witch who, when confronted by the main characters, starts repeating, in an increasingly panicked voice: "''You soiled... you soiled... you soiled... you soiled... you soiled... you soiled...''"
* ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'': Whenever all four Dragons boys are around each other in their SuperpoweredEvilSide they will keep repeating "We Will Become One!"

(English) Also, after [[spoiler: she drinks from Pip and becomes a powerful vampire]] she says "Let's slaughter, [[spoiler: Pip]] ... Slaughter... Slaughter!"
* In ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'', the characters are prone to saying "uso da"/"that's a lie" when/after they snap.
-->''"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."''
* ''Anime/ImGonnaBeAnAngel'': "Ganbare, ganbare" and "I/we will become angel/s" [[spoiler: by Mikael]] and "I won't become an angel!" [[spoiler: by Silky]].
* PlayedForLaughs in ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35ey_wfXnjg Season 2 Episode 7]]. [[ChildSoldier Laura]] flips out when [[ThatOneGuy Ichika]] reveals he's already chosen a tag-team partner for the upcoming IS Academy tournament, and [[ClingyJealousGirl it isn't her.]] She summons her IS arm's LaserBlade and is about to hit him with it, when [[SternTeacher Chifuyu]] suddenly hurls her across the room, berating her for unauthorized IS usage. When Laura tries to protest by saying this is a matter between husband and wife, we get this exchange:
-->'''Laura:''' Instructor, this is a problem between husband and wife!\\
'''Chifuyu:''' Husband and wife? YouFool I'd never accept a rude girl like you as my sister-in-law!\\
''[a look of horror appears on Laura's face]''\\
'''Laura:''' [[CornerOfWoe Instructor hates me. Instructor hates me. Instructor hates me.]]
* ''LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai'': Lio says to Shiki "[[ThatLiarLies That's a lie, that's a lie, that's a lie, that's a lie!]]"
* ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn''. After [[spoiler:Kozato Enma's]] famiglia is completely abducted by [[spoiler:the Vindice]] he goes insane, loses control of his powers, and keeps muttering to himself.
-->'''[[spoiler:Enma]]: Kill Tsunayoshi... Kill... Kill...'''
* ''Anime/KillLaKill'': Nui after [[spoiler:getting her arms chopped off.]]
-->"'''IHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOUIHATEYOU! ''I HATE YOU ALL!!!'''''"
* ''Manga/KoharuNoHibi''. [[{{Yandere}} Koharu]] to Akira: "I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you."
* "I want to become a bird!", from the infamous "snail parasite" story from Volume 4 of ''Manga/TheKurosagiCorpseDeliveryService''.
* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'':
** In ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Phantom Blood]]'', [[BigBad Dio Brando]] has a knack for saying how "useless" anyone's efforts were when he believes he has the upper hand. At one point during his battle with the protagonist Jonathan Joestar in Windknight's Lot, he kept repeating the word "useless" over and ''over'' again just to emphasize how hopeless the situation was for Jonathan. Fast forward a century later during ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'' and now, he blurts out "muda" (AKA the Japanese word for "useless") in rapid succession ''as a battle cry'':
--->"[[NoIndoorVoice MUDA]] [[AxCrazy MUDA]] [[MemeticMutation MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA!]]"
** In ''Stardust Crusaders'', during the high-stakes poker match between protagonist Jotaro Kujo and D'arby the Gambler, Jotaro turns things in his favor by [[NervesOfSteel stoically betting]] the souls of two of his comrades and that of ''his own mother'', having at his disposal a hand of cards he hasn't even looked at and asking D'arby to match his wager by revealing the secret of [[BigBad DIO]]'s Stand if he loses; the idea of betraying his master, combined with the thought of Jotaro's Stand having switched cards without him noticing, take a toll on the Gambler when Jotaro starts pressuring him into calling his cards. Cue D'arby's InnerMonologue trying to ''convince'' himself into calling (which fails miserably as he realizes [[CantSpitItOut he's too terrified to do so]]):
--->"''I'll say it! I'm the greatest gambler in the world! I'll take this bet! I'll CALL!! Call, call, call, call, call, call, call, call... I'm going to call!!!''"
** In ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Diamond is Unbreakable]]'', [[spoiler: Rohan]] learns that when he was found after [[spoiler: Reimi's HeroicSacrifice for his child self]], all he could say was:
--->"[[spoiler: Reimi]] [[DestinationDefenestration threw me out of the window]]! [[spoiler: REIMI]] THREW ME OUT OF THE WINDOW!"
* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'': "Make them atone. Don't forgive. Kill them all."
* In ''Manga/MinamotoKunMonogatari'' Rokujou's sanity is way gone when Kaoruko tells her that Terumi does not love her and doesn't need her like she would like to believe. One panel is so dedicated to her thinking thoughts like "Lies, No way, You're wrong", etc. that the words are overlapping with each other.
* Episode 4 of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'' has [[TragicVillain Loni Garvey]] repeating "Sieg Zeon" in the final few minutes, having been BrainwashedAndCrazy by her mobile armor's psycommu system.
* ''Manga/{{Monster}}'': "Kill him... kill him... kill him..."
**[[spoiler:When Johan begins to explain his intentions to Nina]] "The end... the end... the end... the end... the end... the end... the end... the end... the end."
** This little snippet from Episode 29: Dr. Gillen is interviewing the murderer Peter Jurgens. He shows Peter a picture of Johan and Peter says that he does not know him, and then he asks him for a pen. He takes the pen and begins shading around the face of the man in the picture. He tells Dr. Gillen that on the second day of the murder, he had gone to the park; he was telling himself that he wanted to stop, and then he saw the man surrounded by children there. Peter then repeats the words "You should come too" (or "Come with us" in the English dubbed) over and over again while some ominous little tune plays and the camera does a close up on his expressionless face. He then takes the pen and plunges it into his right ear. Blood squirts out and he falls over dead.
* Most main characters from [[{{Franchise/Nasuverse}} Nasu's series]] usually gets [[SignatureStyle one or even several mantras]].
** ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'': '''This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair.'''
* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': "I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away..." An attempt at a SurvivalMantra that didn't really work.
** Made hilarious in the outtakes: "I mustn't run away, I m-ok, I got that, good, ok. Now, if I were to run away-let's analyze that-, '''[[PrecisionFStrike where the fuck would I go?!"]]'''
** Then there's Asuka's "I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die!". It becomes even creepier when [[spoiler:her mother]]'s "You are not alone. You are not alone. You are not alone" gets piled over it. Unlike Shinji's example above, Asuka's mantra does work. [[spoiler:[[DownerEnding For about 15 minutes]].]]
*** It becomes even creepier still when you realize that interspersed with [[spoiler:her mother]]'s "You are not alone." is the shrill voice of [[spoiler:the half of her mother that went crazy and hung herself]] shrieking "Please die with me!"
** Asuka also muttered "I'll kill you... I'll kill you... I'll kill you... I'll kill you..." when she made her [[spoiler: unpowered, impaled and gutted]] EVA move via sheer force of will. [[spoiler:[[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice For about 40 seconds]].]]
** Then there's Shinji's "I can't take it anymore... I can't take it anymore... I can't take it anymore..." from ''End''. That one really counts as a Madness Mantra since he's losing his grip on reality at that moment. [[TruthInTelevision Using a negative phrase in a Mantra is usually not a good idea.]]
* Usopp of ''Manga/OnePiece'' seems to like doing these, particularly after experiencing the danger his shipmates tend to love.
-->'''Usopp:''' Sky island scary, sky island scary, sky island scary, sky island scary...
* ''Manga/PandoraHearts'' has this:
-->'''[[spoiler:[[{{Yandere}} Jack]]]]:''' ''[after [[spoiler:Glen]] says that [[spoiler:Lacie]] can't be brought back]'' Unacceptable! Unacceptable! Unacceptable! Unacceptable! Unacceptable! Unacceptable! Unacceptable! Unacceptable!
* ''Literature/{{Paprika}}'': A creepy chorus of dolls in the parade chants: "No more anger! Our world is happy and mundane!"
* ''Anime/PerfectBlue'': Excuse me, who are you?
** Also, on the fax Mima receives from [[AxeCrazy Me-Mania]] "'''TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR...'''"
* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'': The early part of Oktavia's labyrinth has "Look at me" written all over it.
** The [[CypherLanguage runes found in witches' barriers]] always translate into this.
* ''Anime/PumpkinScissors'': Töten Sie! Töten Sie! [[GratuitousGerman ("Kill them!")]] [[note]]The line actually says "kill" in the imperative and polite (plural) form. A correct translation of "kill them" would be "Tötet sie!"[[/note]]
* ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'': In episode 33 at one point, an awkward-looking Utena is lying on a bed but we only see her face, her bare shoulders, and her hand as she babbles about food and what she should make for lunch tomorrow. At some point she bites on her knuckle, then keeps speaking about the meal in an increasingly desperate and moaning tone. The animators stop getting crap past the radar and downright push it down when she shudders and shivers repeatedly, then tenses up and goes still for a millisecond while breathlessly gasping "Tell me..." while the screen goes to black. Soon we see her hand... which holds onto a man's dark skinned own. Yep, Utena just had sex with Akio, on-screen. Now keep in mind that she's in eighth grade and he's a hell of a lot older (and even more so when we consider his backstory)... and the consent is dubious enough to make the scene count as Rape as Drama by many people's sensibilities. (The kanji seen flashing in the background at some point, i.e., can be read as "Stop it, stop it, stop it...".)
* ''Anime/RODTheTV'':
-->"John Smith got his forest burned down.\\
That's why he planted new trees.\\
A lot, a whole lot, and a lot more...\\
A lot, a whole lot, and a lot more..."\\
A lot, a whole lot, and a lot more..."
* ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'': Tsukune's Ghoul form repeats the word "kill".
* ''Anime/SailorMoon'': ''I won't forgive you. I won't forgive you. I won't forgive you. I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!!" from the first episode of the 5th season.
** In the last season, when [[spoiler:Galaxia reveals that she's killed Tuxedo Mask]], Sailor Moon is briefly reduced to only being able to say "[[spoiler:Mamo-chan]]...is dead..." over and over.
** A much more prevalent one throughout the second half of season 4 is "Yume yume utagau koto nakare; yume miru kodomo no yume no yume", translated in the subtitles as "Dream dream don't doubt it; a dream of dreams that children dream". (Or, for a more rhythmic translation, "Never ever forget to remember, a child's dream is a dream forever.") It becomes more and more [[NightmareFuel disturbing]] the more it's used.
* Fumio of ''Manga/SaitamaChainsawShoujo'', just before [[{{Yandere}} snapping due to being dumped]] by her boyfriend, uttered a mantra of her own.
-->[-"'''Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable!''' '''''TOTALLY UNFORGIVABLE!!!'''''"-]
* In ''Anime/{{Scryed}}'', Biff is captured and brainwashed; afterward, he becomes practically incapable of saying anything beyond "''Hammer!''" (as in "NR Hammer," the name of his Alter).
* ''Manga/SeraphOfTheEnd'': When Yuu lets his SuperpoweredEvilSide take over he repeats "Annihilate the sinners."
* ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'': "Beep... beep... ... beep... ..... beep...."
** ''"Everyoneisconnected. Everyoneisconnected. Everyoneisconnected."'' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint And in the middle of a busy street, no less]].
* ''Manga/{{Shiki}}'':
** [[spoiler:Megumi-chan is going to come and kill me. Megumi-chan is going to come and kill me. Megumi-chan is going to come and kill me.]]
** "Damn you old man, damn you old man, damn you old man..."
* ''VisualNovel/{{Shuffle}}''. [[{{Yandere}} Kaede]], in episode 19, tells either of these at Asa after snapping on her:
** In the original Japanese: "Go back. Please go back... Please go back... Please... go back... Go back... Go back... GO BACK! GO BACK! GO BACK!"
** In the English dub: "GetOut. Get out of this house. Get out of this house. Get out... Get out.... Get out. Get out! OUT! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! GO AWAY!"
* ''Manga/SoulEater'': "Jijijijijijiji... Jijijijijijiji..."
** "I don't know how to deal with this... my blood is black... I'll kill you all. Kill you. Kill you. Kill you."
** "An apple. An apple. An apple. An apple. An apple. An apple. An apple. An apple. An apple."
** "Wrath of the Pharaoh! Wrath! Wrath! Wrath! Wrath! Pharaoh! Pharaoh! Pharaoh! Wrath! Wrath! Wrath!"
** [[DotingParent "MAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMAKAMAGHAAAAAAA!!!!!"]]
** There is one that crosses into the territory of both DarkComedy, OverlyLongGag, and BrickJoke in chapter nine of the manga (where Free makes a brief cameo), that, while setting up the mood of the Witch Jail (ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext/ ItMakesSenseInContext), a background character repeatedly adds one and two together, while never coming up with the solution to the problem, thinking that he's multiplying what he's adding, much to the annoyance of the one lone guard who has had to put up with him for an undetermined amount of time. This is interrupted by Free, much to the shock of both the guard's and prisoner's shock, who silences him with his own hinted mantra:
--->'''Free''': I can't see... I can't see anything... I really wanna see a fine comedy...
* ''Anime/TekkonKinkreet'' has White's repeating mantra, "''be happy be happy.''"
* From the English dub of ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'', episode 8:
-->'''Ryoko:''' Diapers. Diapers. Diapers. Diapers. Diapers.\\
'''Ayeka:''' Milk. Milk. Milk. Milk. Milk.
* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'':
** In chapter 66 Furuta is furious after Eto insults him and says to her "Die...die...die...die...die...die...die..."
** When Kaneki is getting tortured by Yamori by having his toes and fingers clipped off repeatedly and being left to grow back (because Kaneki's a ghoul) before Yamori clipped them off again. Kaneki stated "My fingers and toes regrew as if they were nails and hair over and over and over and over and over..."
* One episode of ''Anime/WitchHunterRobin'' features an obsessive-compulsive witch who, when confronted by the main characters, starts repeating, in an increasingly panicked voice: "''You soiled... you soiled... you soiled... you soiled... you soiled... you soiled...''"
* ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'': Whenever all four Dragons boys are around each other in their SuperpoweredEvilSide they will keep repeating "We Will Become One!"
