History Main / DramaticWind

* An example from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow'' -- In both games, Soma Cruz's trench-coat ''never'' stops billowing in the wind, no matter how still he's standing or where he is.

* Ryu's famous VictoryPose in the ''StreetFighter'' series shows him crossing his arms and disdainfully turning his back on his defeated foe. As he does so, the wind blows his headband and hair around, regardless of location.

Or in space, because TheRuleOfCool overrules physics.

Before any fight begins or important truth is revealed, or if the character is simply standing and looking noble, a wind will invariably blow, ruffling his hair, the grass at his feet, and/or his cape if he's wearing one. Invariably the character is either facing the wind head-on (or less commonly, standing perpendicular to it) so that the effect is [[RuleOfCool cool]], but his hair and garments won't get in his face.

** ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'': The climax has [[spoiler:Garan's royal guards]] be blown away by the power of dramatic wind, prompted by [[spoiler:Apollo Justice]]'s objection. (See Anime.AceAttorney example above)

* Strike Man, a self-proclaimed defender of justice who is more of a nuisance than a help to the police protagonists in ''Manga/YoureUnderArrest'' likes to appear dramatically, posing on [[IHaveTheHighGround high places]] with dramatic wind blowing his cape... except that the wind is generated by a mini ''electric fan''.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Twilight Sparkle has one scene during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LQk-DaZSzU&feature=player_detailpage#t=60s Failure Song]] Season 3 Preview.

** ''End of Evangelion'' takes this trope UpToEleven: when the über pissed-off Unit 01 emerges from the ruins of NERV HQ, it's enveloped in a giant ''tornado'' and all we see is a silhouette, a pair of energy wings and two GlowingEyesOfDoom. The soldiers nearby are completely terrified by it. Possible extra points for the wind being caused by Unit 01 itself.

** Taken UpToEleven in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TakGbQAAf5o opening sequence]] of ''Dual Destinies''. Skip to the end part of the video.

* In ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', Mojo Jojo's cape always flows in the wind, no matter where he is.

** In episode 2 of season 1, when [[{{Samurai}} Kuroh]] is about to fight Misaki. He's [[IHaveTheHighGround standing on a lamppost]] and the wind does very nice things with his [[LongHairedPrettyBoy ponytail]] and [[BadassLongcoat jacket]].

** Also done in Asuka's debut, although [[PantyShot the wind blows up her skirt.]]

A SuperTrope to HotWind. Not to be confused with {{Fartillery}}, though that combination ''would'' be amusing.

* In ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', Judge Doom's BlackCloak is always fluttering in the breeze even when he's indoors -- [[spolier: as one of the many visual clues that he's not the human he pretends to be]].

* In ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'', Judge Doom's BlackCloak is always fluttering in the breeze even when he's indoors.

* In the Hindi movie ''Kabhi Khushi, Kabhi Gham'', houses are incredibly drafty: even a small apartment seems to have high-powered fans running constantly off screen. And once the music numbers start, every conceivable thing (hair, clothes, paper, curtains, etc.) begins roiling like a poorly-built suspension bridge. Fortunately, the look is [[RuleOfCool too awesome]] to annoy the audience.

* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', commonly seen in aforementioned anime in the form of an emblazoned cape worn by Kamina or [[FanNickname Captain Garlock]] for dramatic flair; alternately, in the form of the flag of the Great Gurren-dan. Notable for the fact this has even been shown to occur in space; or at the very least, the upper stratosphere. Could be caused by Spiral Energy -- because, you know, Kamina and Simon are just that awesome. It's justified since the primary law of physics in the setting is RuleOfCool.

* Happens during the climactic fight on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre-Dame_de_Paris Notre-Dame de Paris]] cathedral in ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame''.
