History VerbalTic / AnimeAndManga

* ''{{Manga/Naruto}}'s'' titular character has the habit of adding "Dattebayo" or "~ttebayo" to the end of his sentences and speech, which ups the intensity/annoyance factor of the sentence, and is what children use when they're trying to get the attention of adults who are studiously ignoring them. It was translated into "Believe it!" for the American dub, [[PragmaticAdaptation a decent compromise]] if nothing else. Unfortunately, considering how often it was used (Occasionally more than the original Japanese, especially in the games), it quickly became insanely annoying, Believe it!
** This was apparently acknowledged, as no less a person than Naruto's voice actress herself requested it stop being used, so later episodes use the phrase less and less until eventually not at all beyond every once in a while or if the dialogue calls for it-ttebayo!

** Kushina, Naruto's mother, ends her sentences with Dattebane, which is commented on by Naruto when they meet during his fight with Kyuubi. Apparently, it's a genetic trait.
*** In both cases, recent English translations have converted it to "Ya know?"

** Sakura had "Shannaro!" early on for when she was feeling pumped up or angry, but started to lose it over time.

* [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Similar to Suiseiseki]] above, Dalian of ''LightNovel/BibliothecaMysticaDeDantalian'' ends most of her sentences with "desu" regardless of whether the word fits there, though she at least pronounces it the normal way. Also, if a sentence starts with "Yes" or "No," she usually [[GratuitousEnglish says "Yes" or "No."]]

* Kenshin Himura in ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' makes a habit of speaking in archaically formal Japanese, using the "de gozaru" verb form (he's using it wrong, however). This gets translated into English - the anime anyway - [[PragmaticAdaptation as a rather awkward, repetitive, countrified emphasis in sentence construction]], such as "It would not be wise of you to attempt this, that it would not." He ''also'' uses the very old and [[JapanesePronouns archaic personal pronoun]] 'sessha', which was generally used by the samurai up until about the time Kenshin lived, but is nearly unheard of anymore. Translating it into "this one", as the Viz manga did, is actually about right; it's very formal. It wouldn't have been ''terribly'' odd to hear someone use it in the time period that ''Anime/RurouniKenshin'' is set in, but it's very odd and distinctive today.

** There's also Wendi, the [[GenkiGirl cheerful]], red-headed, HoverBoard riding [[HollywoodCyborg cyborg]] who has a habit of adding a "~su" at the end of her sentences ~su.

* Marumaro of ''BlueDragon'' sometimes added "-maro" as a sentence ender.

* Many of the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters Of The Week]] in ''Anime/SailorMoon'' do this, adding their name or part of it to the end of sentences. (Actually, the monsters that don't do this are generally [[PokemonSpeak only capable of saying their own name]], period.)

** Dismarelda ends her sentences with "juban", which is dropped in the American version.

** Cadin ends his sentences with "min" (the Japanese onomatopoeia of a cicada making noise), which is dropped in the American version.

** The sequel series, ''Ryuusei no Rockman'' (''MegaManStarForce'') has a few more of these. The most outstanding is Cancer Bubble's "~buku" dialect. Since Cancer Bubble has the same theme and basic role (inept comic relief villain) as Bubbleman from the original, this might be him actually taking after Bubbleman, puku.

** USApyon ends his sentences with "da nii".

** Merori ends her sentences with "na no".

* Paya-tan, the "heroine's" animal mascot in ''Anime/DaiMahouTouge'', ends his sentences with "-paya!" except when in [[BadAss Jouji Nakata]] mode.

* In ''Anime/{{Hamtaro}}'', the hamsters say "no da", "dechuwa" or "nanno"

** In the English version he uses the word bear, playing on the fact that he is a teddy bear. He has also been known to make bear related puns one refering to something as [[{{Incredibly lame pun}} Un-bear-able]]

* ''Anime/{{Ojarumaru}}'' has too many characters with a verbal tic. Just to name a few, Ojarumaru ends his sentences with "de ojaru" (an archaic polite copula), "ka no", "nou", "ja", "ja no", "no ja", or "tetamo" (an archaic version of "kudasai" used by Heian era aristocrats). He got all of these tics from his father. Denbo ends most of his sentences with "masu" or "de gozaimasu", Aobee says "de gonsu" (an archaic polite copula), and Kisuke says "pii". Princess Okame sometimes, but not always ends her sentences with "de gozaimasuru" or "tetamore".

* Jibanyan from ''Anime/YokaiWatch'' ends his sentences with "-nyan". In the English version, this is changed to him replacing almost every "n" sound with "nya".

** [[Anime/PokemonGiratinaAndTheSkyWarrior In the eleventh Pokémon movie]], Shaymin (in the Japanese version) ends sentences with the verbal tic of "deshou".
** When the female player character from ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]'' (Kotone) appeared, she added "koto ne?" at the end of her sentences.

* In ''Manga/KeroroGunsou'', Keroro tends to append "de arimasu" to almost all his sentences, while Tamama uses "desu", Kululu uses "da ze", and Dororo uses "de gozaru". There's also a minor character, Space Police Officer Poyon, who tends to end her sentences with "poyo". "De arimasu" and "de gozaru" are both valid Japanese (both are polite, military-style forms of "de aru", the Japanese equivalent of the verb "to be"); however, "de gozaru" is rather archaic, and "de arimasu" is rarely used outside of the military - not to mention that Keroro and Dororo use them excessively and outside of proper context.

** In a recent episode, Keroro {{fus|ionDance}}es with each of his platoon members. The composite is the left half of one fusee, and the right half of the other. When either half talks, it impersonates the other half. So when Keroro was fused with Tamama, the Keroro half ended his sentences with "desu" while the Tamama half ended his sentences with "de arimasu".

* Like Dekomori above, Kirika Akatsuki from ''Anime/SenkiZesshouSymphogear'' says "death" instead of "desu", but they sound exactly the same. The lyrics in her {{Character Song}}s have either "death" completely in English or in katakana, with no "desu" written in hiragana anywhere. The second ''G'' OVA and ''GX'' [[{{Flanderization}} flanderize]] her verbal tic, to the point where she shouts "death" randomly.

** In the fillers, TheStoic modsoul Nova often says "montai nai," meaning "no problem," and has occasionally said the opposite, "montai ga aru (There is a problem)."

* Osomatsu Kun's Iyami is famous for saying ~zansu at the ends of his sentences.

* In {{Anime/Pokemon}} Meowth of Team Rocket in has the tendency to randomly slip in [[SayMyName "Meowth"]] during his lines of dialog, possibly a left over from when he exclusively used PokemonSpeak like the average Pokemon.

* Lana Linchen from ''Manga/{{Freezing}}'' has the same verbal tic as [[ShakuganNoShana Wilhelmina]] above de arimasu.

* In the Japanese version of ''Manga/YuGiOh'', Pegasus J. Crawford frequently uses funnily mispronounced GratuitousEnglish, and his "DEEEEEEEEESU!". In the dub he speaks formally and tends to tack a person's gender onto their name, "okay, Yugi-boy?"

* Professor Daitokouji in ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' tends to end sentences with "-nya" (the Japanese sound for a cat's meow), and the dinosaur-loving Kenzan often ends his with "-saurus" or "-don". Sho Marufuji would end many sentences with "ssu" (an elision of "desu"). Hayato Maeda would often end his sentences with "nan do na". Professor Chronos de Medici also likes to end his sentences with "(na) no ne" ("Is that not so?"), and his co-worker Napoleon ends his sentences with "de aru".

* Lua in ''{{Anime/YuGiOh5Ds}}'' has an annoying habit of talking like Gerald [=McBoingBoing=]...but only in duels. Just ''try'' to get through an episode (or ''Tag Force 4'' duel) with him dueling and ''not'' poke out your eardrums after the fiftieth cry of "DOOOOON!", "CHA-KIIIIING!", or "[[GratuitousEnglish DIIIIAL ON!]]".
