| 1 | %% This list is alphabetized (excluding the general examples/creator-specific examples at the very top). Please add further examples in the proper place. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | * Replete throughout anime: the clack-''swish'' of a katana being drawn. |
| 4 | * AudibleSharpness. Specifically, the kind that was prevalent in 70s and 80s anime, whenever a sword was drawn and light curves up the blade. Shows up occasionally in Samurai Jack. |
| 5 | * The sound that swords make when the wielder shifts grips. Sth-CHICK! |
| 6 | * Every time in a super robot show [[CallingYourAttacks someone screams the name of the attack they're using]], you know this is gonna be awesome. Prime example: ROCKET PUNCH!!! (''Anime/MazingerZ'') |
| 7 | * A certain sound effect occasionally used for energy weapon by Artmic. It can be found near the climax of ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis'' episode 3 (when Priss destroys that last Boomer), or all over the anime-style training videos for ''Series/CaptainPowerAndTheSoldiersOfTheFuture'' (Occurs a few seconds in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7yPxJWWgZI here]]) |
| 8 | * Creator/ToeiAnimation's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdFBZKpnVVA fanfare]], which is basically the anime version of the logos of the major Hollywood studios. |
| 9 | * The English dub voices (provided by Creator/LauraBailey) of Sana Kurata (from ''Manga/{{Kodocha}}'') or Tohru Honda (from ''Manga/FruitsBasket'') making that exasperated squeal. It makes their characters. |
| 10 | * The singing voice of Belldandy from ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' is absolutely beautiful, especially in some of her drama albums and the movie. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxQDCNFCm3k this song]]. |
| 11 | * ''Manga/{{Akira}}'': "TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" "KANEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" |
| 12 | * ''Anime/AngelBeats'': |
| 13 | ** T.K.'s GratuitousEnglish lines. "GET CHANCE AND LUCK!" |
| 14 | ** "[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Fuckin' Crazy]]" |
| 15 | * ''Anime/ArmoredTrooperVotoms'': Similarly to the Big O example below, [='Vweee-VWOOMm!'=] and 'Chk-CHUK' sounds Armored Troopers (and Scopedogs in particular) make when maneuvering. Virtually all the stock sound effects used in the show are equally satisfying. |
| 16 | * ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'': |
| 17 | ** The sounds Levi makes when he's taking on the Female Titan. It's just so glorious to hear his battle cries as he manages to nearly defeat the Female Titan on his own, considering many have fallen against it. [[spoiler:Including Levi's own comrades, so his grunts were also a RoaringRampageOfRevenge]]. |
| 18 | ** For that matter, there's also [[spoiler:the bellowing roar of challenge/rage/announcing his presence that comes out whenever Eren shifts into his Titan form and/or does awesome things. His roars are described as humanity's anger, after all]]. |
| 19 | ** Eren Yeager + [[UnstoppableRage Ridiculous amounts of anger]] = [[spoiler: [[http://youtu.be/h-ONY-B3I_Q?t=9s THIS.]]]] |
| 20 | ** [[GratuitousGerman SIE SIND DAS ESSEN]] [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic UND WIR SIND DIE JÄGER]] |
| 21 | ** In the fourth season, we have [[spoiler: [[FantasticNuke Armin going nuclear]]. It starts with the crackling of electricity followed by '''''[[https://youtu.be/ZrC02Scoqc8?t=21 BWEEONG]]''''' as the surrounding battleships are engulfed in light.]] |
| 22 | * ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': |
| 23 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5nvhfUecGw OH HON HON HON HON HON HON HON HON]] OH HON |
| 24 | ** ve~ |
| 25 | ** From Paint It White: "Wa, wa, waaaldo!" D'aaaww. |
| 26 | * ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'': Sata Andagi! |
| 27 | ** [-'''Nekokoneko:''' Nyaa~!-] |
| 28 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PbPdjWlB9k Heeeee~]] |
| 29 | *** In other words, Osaka's reaction to splitting chopsticks cleanly, a couple of years before Chiyo reveals the trick to it. |
| 30 | ** Osaka's Japanese voice alone is a Most Wonderful Sound. And then there's Chiyo's voice, which is the epitome of adorableness. |
| 31 | ** Sakaki giggling on the English track as she rolls around with Mayaa. |
| 32 | * ''Anime/TheBigO''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amw3DwVXHGU#t=0m37s foot steps.]] |
| 33 | ** From the same clip, "Sure Promise" means it's time for an ass-whuppin', and Big O is the one doing the giving. |
| 34 | * ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': |
| 35 | ** Any time someone says "Bankai." |
| 36 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7IPyvrm3TM The voice of the hollowfied Ichigo]]. |
| 37 | * ''Anime/CControl'': |
| 38 | ** OPEN DEAL |
| 39 | ** [[spoiler: YOU HAVE CONTROL]] |
| 40 | * ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'': |
| 41 | ** The sound that Touma's Imagine Breaker hand makes when it destroys any kind of supernatural spell. It's impossible to describe, but for some reason it's a ''perfect'' fit. |
| 42 | ** The sound of Accelerator's AttackReflector activating. An unnatural sounding 'twing' followed by the offending projectile or attack whizzing backwards at high speeds. |
| 43 | * ''Manga/ChisSweetHome'': Chi the Kitten's voice, courtesy of Creator/SatomiKoorogi, is soooo adorable, even by kitten standards. |
| 44 | * ''Anime/CodeGeass'': |
| 45 | ** [=VrrrEEEEEEEEEEEEEE=]! Ah, the sound of MindRape... |
| 46 | ** "Lelouch vi Britannia commands you!" |
| 47 | ** Now, all of you ... DIE! |
| 48 | * ''Anime/CowboyBebop'': I think it's time we blow this scene, get everybody and the stuff together... Okay, three, two, one, let's jam! |
| 49 | * ''Manga/DeathNote'': |
| 50 | ** Light's laugh, especially the English version, is incredibly addictive. |
| 51 | ** [[MemeticMutation Sakujo sakujo sakujo sakujo]] ''sakujo!'' |
| 52 | * ''Manga/TheDemonGirlNextDoor'': The phrase that triggers Shamiko's transformation. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_yo-ZYX1tM "KIKI KANRI!"]] |
| 53 | * ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' gets two depending on if you're watching subbed or dubbed. In the English Dub, Digivolution is accompanied by an otherworldly screech as the Digivice powers up followed by the english Digimon theme song. In the Japanese original, it begins with an epic guitar riff preceding ''Brave Heart'' playing |
| 54 | ** Also from the dub, [[GiantFlyer Birdramon's]] call. "KEEER!" |
| 55 | ** In the Japanese original and most other foreign dubs, evolution sequences start with a loud guitar riff, the opening of the ThemeSongPowerup ''Brave Heart''. The riff is played regardless of whether ''Brave Heart'' follows, but it (and the evolution sequences) in an interesting twist comes across as downright eerie without ''Brave Heart'' following it; sometimes (notably in ''Our War Game'') to the point of coming across as HellIsThatNoise instead. It may be a matter of recognition; if an evolution is happening and ''Brave Heart'' isn't playing, it's probably not going to end well... |
| 56 | ** Hell, any time an insert song comes on in ''any'' Digimon series. |
| 57 | * ''Anime/DigimonTamers'': |
| 58 | ** '''DIGIVOLUTION'''. ''OH.'' '''''GOD.''''' ''YES!'' |
| 59 | ** In the English dub, the Biomerge Digivolution music! The harp that kicks in when the tamer holds their Digivice up to their heart to kick things off really tells you that a miracle is about to happen. |
| 60 | ** Also in the English dub, the Digi-Modify music. "D-D-DIGI-MODIFY!" |
| 61 | * ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': |
| 62 | ** The steady, humming cadence of the Super Saiyan battle aura |
| 63 | ** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or8IQlEvFk0 distinctive sound]] of a Kamehameha being charged and fired. If that sound doesn't give you goosebumps, you probably didn't watch ''Dragon Ball'' as a kid. |
| 64 | ** Sean Schemmel's screaming as Goku are generally viewed as this by the fanbase. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVdlBxdqv8s It's]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dY2IBPzJhI not]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxlaQKLcQFs hard]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmjZFL5HYPI to]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm7UkgnWiPY understand]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV3xB-bxD1k why.]] |
| 65 | * ''Manga/FairyTail'' has the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_QgB7bAnM "WOW~!"]] sound bite. |
| 66 | * ''Anime/FistOfTheNorthStar'': |
| 67 | ** "Omae wa mou shinde iru." / "{{You are|AlreadyDead}} [[TropeNamer already dead.]]" |
| 68 | ** ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA...OWA'''TTA!!''' |
| 69 | ** Kokuoh galloping. |
| 70 | ** Lightning strikes that sometimes occur in the background. |
| 71 | ** BLA-BLOMSH! In the Viz manga, this is the sweet, sweet sound of Kenshiro popping Mr. Heart's head and stomach like grapes. |
| 72 | * One very specific line in the English dub of ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'': In episode 4, at some point after Naota and Kamon's epic airsoft battle, Mamimi says to Kitsurabami, "Actually, confusing cyborgs and robots is a common mistake." The way she slightly pauses after "actually" and "robots", and in general the fact that she's Creator/StephanieSheh is just perfect. |
| 73 | ** From the final episode, whe have the Spanish guitar riff at the opening and close of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwbjoHzfonc I Think I Can]]. |
| 74 | ** Not to mention the sound Haruko's guitar makes when she hits things. |
| 75 | * When Kimblee in episode 61 of ''Manga/FullMetalAlchemist Brotherhood'' [[spoiler:[[ItMakesSenseInContext appeared from Pride's soul]] and started talking to him, therefore [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome distracting Pride and making Ed win]]]]. [[Creator/HiroyukiYoshino The voice actor]] must have had something to do with it, though. |
| 76 | --->'''Kimblee:''' [[spoiler:Oh, this won't do. This just won't do, homunculus Pride.]] |
| 77 | --->[[spoiler:'''Pride:''']] [[spoiler:Kimblee? There's no way! How could you maintain your own self-awareness in this tempest of souls...?!]] |
| 78 | --->'''Kimblee:''' [[spoiler:Tempest? You make me laugh. [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming Howls of anguish are like lullabies to my ears!]]]] |
| 79 | ** Also the sound that any alchemical reaction (that isn't about to backfire horrifically) makes. Combine that with the blue light = epic. |
| 80 | * ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'': |
| 81 | ** Admit it, when you hear the sound of the G-Stone sliding into place, follwed by the loud whine of Genesic [=GaoGaiGar=]'s eyes lighting up, and concluded with a [[OneWomanWail chorus letting off one loud note]] as the hair pops out, you know things are going to be badass. |
| 82 | ** "Final Fusion, SHOUNIN!" "Final Fusion! Program DRIVE!" |
| 83 | ** [[YinYangBomb "HELL AND HEAVEN! Gemu Giru Gan Go Gufou! VITAS!"]] |
| 84 | ** [[DisappearsIntoLight "HIKARI NI NARE!!!"]] |
| 85 | * ''Literature/TheGardenOfSinners'': Overlapping with {{Leitmotif}} (yet belonging here because it's not one single track), is the [[OminousLatinChanting choral segment]] of Shiki Ryougi's asskicking music. Someone or something is [[DiagonalCut going to get cut]]. |
| 86 | * ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'': |
| 87 | ** "Zura ja nai, Katsura da!" |
| 88 | ** "DONDAKKE!" |
| 89 | ** [[Creator/RieKugimiya Kagura's]] voice... too cute. |
| 90 | * ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'': The sound of a tank's white flag [[https://youtu.be/nhz_yFT3dJI?t=445 deploying]]. |
| 91 | * ''Anime/GunBuster'''s Buster Machine March. The sequel even had a scene especially made to subvert this. |
| 92 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSmlRuL6ZvA Newtype flash]] used in ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}''. |
| 93 | * ''Anime/GunXSword'': |
| 94 | ** Haaaaaaaaaaoooooooooo... ohhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa! When [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksMubXqDtws Dann of Thursday]] starts playing, shit gets ''real''. |
| 95 | *** And after that you get... ''Wake up'','''DANN!!!''' |
| 96 | ** When Van turns his hat sideways, you hear the ring attached to it make a very distinctive jingle. Awesomeness ensues. |
| 97 | * ''Anime/HeatGuyJ'''s steam release sound, often accompanied by [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic bagpipes.]] |
| 98 | * ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'': |
| 99 | ** In the English dub, anything said by Alucard. ''Anything.'' |
| 100 | ** "Search and Destroy!" Once Integra utters this, you know someone's gonna have a ''very'' bad day, courtesy of Alucard. |
| 101 | ** Father Anderson's ecstatic cries of "'''''AMEN!'''''" |
| 102 | * ''Manga/HidamariSketch'': |
| 103 | ** *flapflapflapflapflapflapflapflap* |
| 104 | ** *splooosh* *splash* *drain* |
| 105 | * If there's one thing a lot of people agree on the anime version of ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'', it's [[Creator/FumihikoTachiki Ddr]][[Creator/ChristopherSabat aig]] saying '''"[[PowerUp BOOST!]]"''' |
| 106 | * ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'': |
| 107 | ** "Mii~" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4r0Vgv0Nv0 "Nipaa!"]] Both are catchphrases of the [[{{Moe}} adorable]] Rika. |
| 108 | ** [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe OMOCHIKAERI~!!]] |
| 109 | ** That sound the original version uses for the "higurashi zoom" effect. |
| 110 | ** And a perfect crossover between Most Wonderful Sound and HellIsThatNoise with the beautiful, dreadful, suspenseful sound of screaming cicadas. |
| 111 | * ''Literature/{{Hyouka}}'': "Watashi Kirinarimasu!" |
| 112 | * ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'': |
| 113 | ** Star Platinum's iconic {{Kiai}}, "ORAORAORAORAORA." In the anime, ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifSr0XPi8pw it's made million times better.]]''. |
| 114 | ** Also in the anime, whenever Star Platinum throws a punch, it sounds like a gun going off. This makes its RapidFireFisticuffs sound like a machine gun, further driving home just how powerful and destructive it can be. |
| 115 | ** In fact, just about ''every'' Stand cry is amazing: DIO's and Giorno's "MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAAA!!", Josuke's "DORARARARARARA!!", Bruno's "ARIARIARIARIARIARI!!"... they all serve to highlight the sheer ''destruction'' the Stand user is wreaking on their foe. |
| 116 | ** The World gives off a similar sound when it fires off its own RapidFireFisticuffs, sounding like a turret firing. When Star Platinum and The World get into a PummelDuel, it sounds like a warzone. |
| 117 | ** The sound of The World [[spoiler: stopping time]] in the anime. A massive distorted buzz, followed by the sound of clocks stopping. Can also cross over into HellIsThatNoise for some. |
| 118 | ** '''[[FountainOfMemes Anything]]''' Dio says. |
| 119 | --->'''MUDAMUDAMUDA!!'''\ |
| 120 | '''WRRRRRRRYYYY!!'''\ |
| 121 | '''ZA WARUDO!'''\ |
| 122 | '''RŌDORŌRĀ DA!!''' |
| 123 | ** The clear glow followed by lightning spark of Hamon use. |
| 124 | ** The piano in Giorno's theme that plays whenever an enemy is about to be defeated. |
| 125 | ** Kellen Goff's voice as [[spoiler:[[BigBad Diavolo]] ]] in the English dub of Part 5. |
| 126 | * ''Anime/{{K}}'': The way Fushimi Saruhiko [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zz6-5sO3zM&hd=1 says the name of Yata Misaki]], his unwilling (and [[ObliviousToLove oblivious]]) object of affection, has developed into this for the YaoiFangirls of the {{Fandom}}. |
| 127 | * ''Manga/{{Kanamemo}}'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxVcwqoWV3s BARRIER! BARRIER!]] BARRIER! |
| 128 | * ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'': Sayuri's VerbalTic "Ahaha." So cutesy and somewhat soothing. |
| 129 | * ''Anime/KillLaKill'': |
| 130 | ** The satisfying ''clack'' of Satsuki's -- and by extension, Ragyo's -- boot heel just before she begins a speech. |
| 131 | ** Most of the wacky sound effects featured during Mako's own speeches, especially the little "Hallelujah!" that plays when she begins one. |
| 132 | ** The sound Bakuzan makes when it [[spoiler:pierces Ragyo's chest]]. There is something incredibly satisfying in how that sound [[spoiler:cuts off Ragyo's speech]]. |
| 133 | ** DON'T LOSE YOUR WAY![[labelnote:Explanation]]The ever-so-famous line from Ryuko's {{Leitmotif}}, "Before my body is dry". It is the first thing one hears when Ryuko kickstarts Life Fiber Synchronize with Senketsu.[[/labelnote]] |
| 134 | ** And by extension, the orchestral version of that riff, from the first half of "斬LLLア生LL". |
| 135 | ** Gamagoori's mad laughter is awesome, but especially so in episode 24, where he was [[spoiler:supposedly dead]] and the other Elite Four were in a stalemate with Nui; but then that laughter echoed through, and all was right with the world again. |
| 136 | * ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'': Poyo! |
| 137 | * ''Literature/{{Konosuba}}'': |
| 138 | ** A unique example in the Anime that also simultaneously exists as an annoying sound: Aqua's crying. There are some who find it [[BeautifulTears utterly adorable]], so much so that there are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGz5nvg3JZ8 entire]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGz5nvg3JZ8 compilations]] of it on Youtube with thousands of likes. A particular example is when she wells up with tears and begins to sob at 0:21 [[https://youtu.be/CGz5nvg3JZ8?t=21s here]]. |
| 139 | ** On another note, the [[https://youtu.be/O_Ysw6vbZSw?t=1m24s angelic singing]] that happens whenever Darkness gets excited. |
| 140 | * ''Anime/LoveLive'': |
| 141 | ** Kotori's voice in the Japanese version, provided by the lovely Creator/AyaUchida, is nothing short of adorable. |
| 142 | ** Say it with me now: "Nico-Nico-Nii!" |
| 143 | ** Pretty much all of the songs in general count, but special mention goes to Aishiteru Banzai, which is a heartwarming love ballad written by ''[[{{Tsundere}} Maki]]''. |
| 144 | * ''Anime/LuckyStar'' has [[TagalongKid Yutaka Kobayakawa]], whose voice is very sweet and innocent-sounding, which fits her ShrinkingViolet personality quite well. It helps that she's voiced by none other than Creator/HyndenWalch, who also provides the voice of Young!Nia Teppelin (from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'') and Starfire (from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''), among others. |
| 145 | * ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'': |
| 146 | ** The [[NoisyGuns chambering of cartridges]] into the Intelligent Devices, especially those of the two leads. Carried to its [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill logical conclusion]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pnfzt-MNYE here]]. Yeah. |
| 147 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGJ5apPYnHQ More Intelligent Devicey goodness]]. |
| 148 | ** ''Every time'' Bardiche talks. That voice is just awesome. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8HauJRAE0s Here.]] |
| 149 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eaatgUxsNs Raising Heart too]], particularly when she says "All right". She sounds so reassuring. |
| 150 | ** The distinctive "shing" sound whenever a mage casts a spell. Made even more epic by some characters whenever they feel it's time to kick ass. Examples are when Fate or Erio casts a big spell, the sound is immediately followed by the crackle of lightning and as shown in the video above, Nanoha's casting sound is immediately followed by the hum of a WaveMotionGun being charged. |
| 151 | * ''VideoGame/{{Medabots}}'': The sound of Medabee's rusty joints creaking to life in episode 1. |
| 152 | * ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'' has several unique themes as part of its soundtrack, but the most notable of late has been Season 2 deploying a specific and highly recognizable music track whenever the protagonists are about to really pull something impressive off. Audible around the 3 minute mark [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keer-C-U_uw here]], as the ''Ptolemaios II'' enters the atmosphere. |
| 153 | ** Not sure if it's the same song, but [[http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=VIoknH2y4Fk&feature=channel this]] is the song that usually gets played right when the protagonists are about to kick some serious ass. |
| 154 | ** There's nothing quite like the sound of the Gundams's eyes flashing in the middle of a heavy action sequence, or right after one. |
| 155 | ** The Braves piloted by Graham Aker's squad in ''[[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer A Wakening of the Trailblazer]]'' have a particle rifle that fires with a highly pleasing sound effect. |
| 156 | * The sound of the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'''s beam rifle is so awesome that the Unicorn's beam magnum fires with the same sound. |
| 157 | * ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed'': The plink-plink-plink sound of the Freedom Gundam's targeting scope picking up ZAFT/Earth Alliance mobile suits, preparatory to unleashing a load of BeamSpam. |
| 158 | * ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'': 'Here I go! THIS HAND OF MINE IS BURNING RED! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwyVV5_orBo ITS LOUD ROAR TELLS ME TO GRASP VICTORY!]] ERUPTING! BURNING! FINGEEEER! |
| 159 | * ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'': The sound the Unicorn Gundam makes when [[SuperMode NT-D Mode]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN3C1N9XamI#t=15s is activated]]. |
| 160 | * ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamTheWitchFromMercury'' has the deep, resonant "''CHUNG!''" noise when when incoming fire glances off Aerial's GUND-BITS' DeflectorShields. |
| 161 | * The clang-clang sound of a mobile suit's footsteps in just about any Gundam series. |
| 162 | * ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' has many: |
| 163 | ** The sounds made by many attacks (the bird-cry finish of a striking Chidori, the whirling of a Rasengan, and when one first sees the Rasenshuriken and hears that ringing sound, you just ''know'' it's gonna cause a shitload of damage if/when it hits), the sound of a Sharingan or Mangekyo Sharingan activating, and Killer-B's "'''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2jqmJj2SKU#t=5m02s WHEEEEEE!!!!!!.]]'''" |
| 164 | ** '''Lariattoo!''' |
| 165 | ** Naruto's new form gives off a sound similar to a calm, soothing flame. |
| 166 | ** Also, the sound of a compressed bijuudama before being swallowed. |
| 167 | ** The sound of anyone concentrating chakra. You know SOMETHING cool is about to happen. |
| 168 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': |
| 169 | ** The roar Shogoki/EVA-01 makes in bousou/berserk state [[http://youtu.be/ocmzDO-vBR8?t=37s Hear it for yourself]] |
| 170 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgYIimWk6YY The scream that Ramiel emits]]. |
| 171 | ** The sound of an A.T.(Absolute Terror) Field being deployed. |
| 172 | --->[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfttNM6aa3E&t=2m10 A.T. Field Senkai!]] |
| 173 | * From ''Manga/{{Nichijou}}'': "[[ShowWithinAShow Helvetica]] [[TitleScream Staaaandard!]]" |
| 174 | * ''Manga/OnePiece'' has loads of wonderful sounds. Aside from the general awesome sounds most devil fruit transformations create, and the AudibleSharpness every sword has, there's some very good ones associated with individual characters' attacks. Let's see... |
| 175 | ** Whenever Bartholomew Kuma uses his power. |
| 176 | ** A lot of the {{Evil Laugh}}s can qualify. Most notably, Crocodile's "Kua ha ha ha" and to a lesser extent, Fukurou's "Chapapa" |
| 177 | ** Luffy: "Gear: Second." *Sssshhh.* "Gomu gomu no... *stretch* Jet Pistol!" *zuu thwack* |
| 178 | ** Zoro: "Santōryū Ougi: Sanzen Sekai! *Slash, slash, slash* |
| 179 | ** Sanji: *Zuu zuu zuu zuu zuu* Diable Jambe. *Whoosh* |
| 180 | ** Whitebeard's power's sound definitely qualifies. |
| 181 | ** Also, of course, that WONDERFUL crack when [[spoiler:Spandam's back breaks]]. |
| 182 | ** The sound of Chopper's footsteps is absolutely adorable. |
| 183 | * The guitar riff signalling the end of an episode of ''Anime/OuranHighSchoolHostClub''. |
| 184 | * ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'': |
| 185 | ** FLY AWAY NOW! [[TransformationSequence FLY AWAY NOW!]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2NN7EAzI_I FLYYYY AWAYYYYY~!!]] |
| 186 | ** '''[[PrecisionFStrike "REPENT, MOTHERFUCKER!"]]''' |
| 187 | * ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': |
| 188 | ** The KCHA-doooOOOOO...sound that Poké Balls make in the anime. |
| 189 | ** Not to mention the sound they make when the Pokémon is recalled: PSHHHEEEEWWW-dooooOOoo. |
| 190 | ** Or the sound they make when a Pokémon is successfully caught. Toh. |
| 191 | ** "Piiii...''kaaaa... CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!''" |
| 192 | ** On a similar note, the "Piiiika pika-pika-''pikaPIKA'''PIKAPIKA'''...!" of a Volt Tackle. |
| 193 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuYeHPFR3f0 Or the opening guitar riff to the original English theme.]] |
| 194 | * ''Anime/PrettyCure'': |
| 195 | ** Franchise-wide: The "clunk clunk" of a freshly transformed Cure's shoes hitting the ground when she lands. |
| 196 | ** ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'': Hime's goofy yet adorable voice, courtesy of Creator/MegumiHan. |
| 197 | ** ''Anime/HugttoPrettyCure'': Hugtan's giggling. |
| 198 | ** ''Anime/HirogaruSkyPrettyCure'': "Eru!" |
| 199 | * ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' has the echoing ''whoosh'' of a labyrinth being dispelled, signifying the end of a [[EldritchAbomination Witch]]. |
| 200 | * The Zillion gun firing sound effect from ''Anime/RedPhotonZillion'' is a supreme qualifier. |
| 201 | * A lot of the sound effects on ''Anime/SailorMoon''. The best ones are the sounds being played before and during transformations and attacks. |
| 202 | ** That little bell noise made when Sailor Moon first appears in an episode is great. |
| 203 | ** ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'': Se! Ra! V! |
| 204 | ** Those [[https://youtu.be/5hFwuw4P_Wc?t=1m39s piano tinkles]] when Sailors Uranus and Neptune appear. |
| 205 | ** In the Dic dub of the first two seasons, the distinctive sound of castanets whenever Tuxedo Mask appears to save Usagi. |
| 206 | * ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'': |
| 207 | ** ZETSUBOUSHITA! MY DESPAIR BEING A WONDERFUL SOUND HAS LEFT ME IN DESPAIR! |
| 208 | ** Every tiny little sound coming from Merumeru Otonashi's mouth. That is, [[BlackSpeech unless you take away her cellphone connection]]! |
| 209 | * ''Manga/SoulEater'': |
| 210 | ** "LET'S GO! SOUL RESONANCE!/TAMASHI NO KYOUMEI! |
| 211 | ** SHINIGAMI CHOP! |
| 212 | ** Hearing [[TheWoobie Crona]] give an actual, happy laugh during a party after [[spoiler: pulling a HeelFaceTurn]] is sure to evoke a few "awws" from the audience. |
| 213 | * ''Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon'': That little motif that plays at the beginning of the Ideon Gun music. Buuuumbaaaabababaaaaa. |
| 214 | * The Mach 5 from ''Anime/SpeedRacer'' had three specially distinctive and loved sounds: the starting, the engine and the "chuck-chuck-chuck" from the Auto Jack. |
| 215 | * ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'': |
| 216 | ** Tuturu~ Mayushii desu! |
| 217 | ** Anata no banana pyun pyun da ne~ |
| 218 | ** Don't forget Feyris nyan nyan! |
| 219 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYvhhMjW32k I AM MAD SCIENTIST!]] |
| 220 | * ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': Drills. Spiral Gauges from that series as well. |
| 221 | ** Particularly satisfying is the Spiral Gauge that ''shatters'' in the final episode. ''Bwoooowww-KSSSSHVWIIIIWIWIWIWIWIIII!'' |
| 222 | ** And then there's the hum of the power of Lagann. |
| 223 | ** In the final episode, TTGL is in a tight spot with the earth right behind them. [[LastEpisodeThemeReprise The series theme music]] starts, with an extra long version of the opening riff. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Grab some popcorn]]. |
| 224 | ** Even more so - the Core Drill's pulse. |
| 225 | ** "''HISSATSU! GIGA... DORIRU... BUREIKAAAA!''" |
| 226 | ** ''[[ThemeMusicPowerUp "Kimi ni au]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome mae no jibun wo]] [[TearJerker wasureta]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEIpaIXhJM4 mitai ni..."]]'' |
| 227 | ** ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH! |
| 228 | ** Ore wo dare da omotte yagaru!? / Who the hell do you think I am!? |
| 229 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IJX-LNWTEQ You've got some nerve coming out here / Into the eye of the storm]]... |
| 230 | * The sounds the Franchise/{{Transformers}} make while walking around in ''Anime/TransformersVictory'', as well as Star Saber shouting "SABER BLAAAAADE!" |
| 231 | * ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'': The "twinkling" sound effect that you hear whenever Lum flies. |
| 232 | * The sound of the runaway spirit detector from ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'' is quite nice to the ears. DORODORODORODORO!!! |
| 233 | * ''Anime/YuGiOh'': |
| 234 | ** The first words the Pharaoh says after [[SplitPersonality arriving on the scene]]. Same goes for [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Yami Bakura]]. Bonus points for usually being a pun, or something like "I don't think you know who you're talking to." Both of them have voices about three octaves lower than their hosts, and when you hear them speak it only means one thing; ''shit's going down.'' |
| 235 | ** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gC38M9U03dk Blue-Eyes White Dragon roar]] and Creator/DanGreen as Yami Yugi. |
| 236 | ** '''[[TransformationNameAnnouncement YU-GI-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!]]''' |
| 237 | ** The Japanese Yami Bakura's evil cackle is addicting. |
| 238 | ** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWZ1wc6KcWY lifepoint]] beeping sound. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kshvv1ca48 Now much clearer]]. |
| 239 | ** The Japanese dub has all the stock phrases the characters yell while dueling, which somehow always manage to sound incredibly awesome: |
| 240 | *** ''TURN! DRAW!'' |
| 241 | *** ''REVERSE CARD OPEN!'' |
| 242 | *** ''PLAYER DIRECT ATTACK!'' |
| 243 | *** ''TURN END!'' |
| 244 |
