| 15 | Anime and Manga are ''very, very fond'' of [[SayMyName having characters yell out each other's names]]. |
| 16 | ---- |
| 17 | * ''Manga/{{Akira}}'': Almost all of the dialogue between Tetsuo Shima and Shotaro Kaneda will be prefaced with the protagonist and antagonist screaming each other's names. "Tetsuo!" "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcQ5nmWAMXk Kaneda!]]" These are listed as "memorable quotes" on Website/{{IMDB}}. So memorable, in fact, that quoting it on any forum or {{ImageBoard|s}} will inevitably lead to a whole thread of people quoting other examples of this trope; if it isn't used first, it will pop up eventually. |
| 18 | * Utilized [[GallowsHumor hilariously]] in ''Anime/AngelBeats'', during a DwindlingParty sequence where the characters are being killed off one-by-one; each time a character is killed off, everybody screams the character's name... until it gets to [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Naoi]]: |
| 19 | -->'''Naoi:''' No, no, [[HeroicSacrifice I'll go next]]!\ |
| 20 | ''[gets stabbed]''\ |
| 21 | '''Hinata:''' ''[{{Beat}}]'' Somebody say something...?\ |
| 22 | '''Yui:''' ...I don't know his name. |
| 23 | * ''Anime/{{Bakugan}} Battle Brawlers'': When his Guardian Bakugan Wyvern is destroyed, the only thing Joe can do is helplessly scream her name over and over again. |
| 24 | * ''Manga/BakusouKyoudaiLetsAndGo'' features characters shouting ''their racing cars' name''. In the anime, they do this almost every freaking minute, and this doesn't include any time their cars are attacked or damaged. |
| 25 | -->'''[[LargeHam Go]]:''' FLY! MAGNUUUM! |
| 26 | * This is taken to ridiculous levels in an issue of ''Manga/BattleAngelAlita'', where a character desperately needs to call out to another but due to complicated circumstances can't say her name. So what does she say? A "Where are you?" or "Can you hear me?" would have done nicely. But instead she says ''nothing'' as a substitute for Say My Name. |
| 27 | * As anyone who's seen the ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' franchise will know, Guts's absolute favourite shout is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4eUza3FESk "GRRIIIFFFFITHH"]] (or "GURIFISSSSSSUUUUU" in {{Engrish}}). |
| 28 | ** Guts screams Griffith's name in utter berserker fury during the Eclipse as he's [[spoiler:charging full-tilt toward Femto after having just [[LifeOrLimbDecision freed himself from the jaws of Borkoff]], every ounce of him ready to make the bastard pay for what he's [[RapeAsDrama doing to Casca]]. [[HopeSpot He gets telekinetically thrown back, pinned down by a bunch of Apostles for his trouble, and forced to watch it happen, just because Griffith is a bastard]]]]. |
| 29 | ** Guts does it again upon seeing [[spoiler:Femto]] for the first time since the Eclipse during the Guardians of Desire arc. |
| 30 | ** The main character himself gets his name shouted with compassionate concern. In the Golden Age arc, his love interest Casca calls out "GUTS!" over and over again while searching for him after the 100-man battle. |
| 31 | * ''Manga/BetrayalKnowsMyName'': Hotsuma says the name when Shuusei is discovered to be missing. Complete with some GrayRainOfDepression. |
| 32 | * ''Manga/BlackButler'': "Sebastian! Sebastian! Sebastian!" Mostly [[HoYay said by Ciel]], but Mey-Rin also calls Sebastian's name sometimes. |
| 33 | * ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' |
| 34 | ** Ichigo to Zangetsu, the spirit of his zanpakuto. |
| 35 | --->'''Zangetsu:''' Retreat and you will age. Hesitate and you will die. SCREAM!! SAY MY NAME!!!\ |
| 36 | '''Ichigo:''' [[LargeHam ZANGETSU!]] |
| 37 | ** [[BreakTheCutie "AIZEN-TAAAIIICHOOOU!?"]]. Poor poor Momo, screaming this after she saw Aizen's body pinned to a wall. |
| 38 | ** By the end of the Soul Society arc most of Rukia's lines consist of "Ichigo!!" "Renji!!" "Nii-sama!!" |
| 39 | ** "HINAMORI!" seemed to be Toushirou's CatchPhrase at a certain point in the manga. |
| 40 | ** Orihime [[MemeticMutation notoriously]] repeats "Kurosaki-kun!" during the end of the Lust mini-arc when Ichigo's on the verge of death, Ishida's going to be next, and her power cannot protect or heal any of them. The manga makes clear through the use of hiragana instead of the normal kanji that it's a MadnessMantra being chanted inside her head. |
| 41 | ** Taken to the extreme in the teaser trailer for ''Anime/BleachFadeToBlack'' revolving around Ichigo and Rukia. All Ichigo screams is "RUKIA!" In the most anguished and dramatic way possible. The movie is actually tagged as "Fade to Black; Call out Your Name". |
| 42 | ** When Yamamoto sees Ukitake and Kyoraku fall after consecutive attacks by Wonderweiss and Starrk he cries out their first names. [[spoiler:And when Sakakibe is killed in front of him, he also calls out.]] |
| 43 | ** Anime episode 333. Kon has a strong sense of affection and protectiveness toward Nozomi. When he sees her appear between Head Captain Yamamoto and Kageroza Inaba to try to stop Inaba's devastating attack upon the Head Captain, he yells out her name in fear for her safety. |
| 44 | ** During the "Zanpakutou: The Alternate Tale" filler arc, Rukia repeatedly yelled "NII-[=SAMA=]" toward her adopted big brother Byakuya Kuchiki in concern for his safety. |
| 45 | ** Ginjo cries out Ichigo's name as their fight reaches its conclusion. His ''first'' name, even, which stands out since Ginjo had been calling him "[[LastNameBasis Kurosaki]]" after revealing himself as the ArcVillain. |
| 46 | %%** Captain Sajin Komamura's enraged cry of betrayal: "TOUSEN!" |
| 47 | %%** AAAIIIZEEEN! |
| 48 | %%** There's a good deal of "CHAD!" |
| 49 | %%** TSUKISHIMA! |
| 50 | * ''Anime/BloodC'' has a lot of characters saying Saya's name, particularly Tadayoshi. Then, in the [[Anime/BloodCTheLastDark movie]], you got Saya screaming, "FUMITOOO!" [[spoiler:who is the BigBad]]. |
| 51 | * ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' anime has an elevator scene with Syaoran and Sakura. Syaoran yells "SAKURAAA" as she plunges into the depths of wherever. Since this is the first time that Syaoran's ever done this instead of using his usual dismissive HeyYou, it's a sign of RelationshipUpgrade. |
| 52 | * ''Manga/{{Chobits}}'': When Hideki is running to save Chii from being violated he yells "CHIIIII!" very loudly. |
| 53 | * ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'' |
| 54 | ** Joshua Christopher combines saying a name with a MadnessMantra in the manga: "Sis. Sis. Sis." |
| 55 | ** There's Aion shouting "PANDAEMONIUM!" several times in rage in the manga. |
| 56 | ** Chrono calling for "ROSETTE!" when she's in danger. |
| 57 | * In ''Anime/{{Clannad}}'', Nagisa's name gets shouted out that way several times throughout the series. The reasons for that are different every time: one time, her father is giving her a pep talk, another time, her husband is crying out to her because [[spoiler: she's dying]] and the third (and most memorable time), [[spoiler: she's back.]] |
| 58 | * ''Anime/CodeGeass'': |
| 59 | ** The last episode of R1 has TheChessmaster Lelouch and TheRival Suzaku towards each other [[spoiler:as they engage in a MexicanStandoff, shortly after the latter learned that the former is Zero]]. |
| 60 | --->'''Lelouch:''' '''''SUZAKU!'''''\ |
| 61 | '''Suzaku:''' '''''LELOOOOOOOOOUCH!''''' |
| 62 | ** Episode 10 of R2 (or Episode 35) has Lelouch one-upped on the battlefield by Xingke, who ''captures Lelouch's AcePilot, Kallen.'' Cue "XIIINGKEEE!" |
| 63 | ** And shortly before that, there's Empress Tianzi yelling Xingke's name repeatedly when he crashed into her wedding. ("Xingke, Xingke, Xingke!") |
| 64 | ** By breaking the laws of writing through the sheer [[RuleOfCool Power of Awesome,]] Jeremiah Gottwald says his ''own'' name: |
| 65 | ---> '''Jeremiah Gottwald:''' You can't hit me! JEREMIAH GOTTWAAAAALD! |
| 66 | ** The finale of the series has Nunnally yelling tearfully at her brother ("ONII-SAMAAAAA!" in the original Japanese dub, "BIG BROTHEEEEEEER!" in English Dub) [[spoiler:when he dies]]. This is after she found out what Lelouch and Suzaku did [[spoiler:for the Zero Requiem]]. |
| 67 | %%** "LELOOOOOOUCH!" "SUZAKU!" "SHIRLEEEEEY!" "NUNNALLY!" "Xingke, Xingke, Xingke!" |
| 68 | %%** Naoto! Inoue! Euphy! Chigusa. ZERO!!! Anya! Xingke! Rakshata... The list goes on. Some names even come up multiple times. |
| 69 | %%** ONII-SAMAAAAA!/BIG BROTHEEEEEEER! |
| 70 | %%** Watashi wa... ''ZEROOO!''/I am... ''ZERO!'' |
| 71 | * ''Anime/CrossAnge'': |
| 72 | ** [[FallenPrincess Ange]] screams, "MOTHER!" repeatedly after her mother, Empress Sophia, died TakingTheBullet for her. |
| 73 | ** [[spoiler:Salia wails Jill's true name, Alektra, when the latter dies.]] |
| 74 | ** [[spoiler:Despite his physical body having been struck down by [[BadassNormal Tusk]], [[AGodAmI Embryo]] nevertheless winds up screaming an enraged, "ANGE!!!" from his [[HumongousMecha Ragnamail]], Hysterica (which is an extension of himself), as Ange and her Villkiss slice Hysterica wide open, [[DefeatEqualsExplosion resulting in it exploding]].]] |
| 75 | * In ''Toushou Anime/{{Daimos}}'', this is featured in the form of "KAZUYAAA!"/[[DubNameChange "RICHAAAAARD!"]] "ERIKAAA!" Fans see this as a predecessor of the "Miaka!" and "Tamahome!" one. |
| 76 | * ''Manga/DearBrother'': One of Nanako's trademarks is her screaming "Saint-Juste-sama... Saint-Juste-sama... SAINT-JUSTE-SAMAAA!" |
| 77 | * Spoofed in ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'', where [[BarbarianHero Inosuke]] can't ever seem to get [[TheHero Tanjiro]]'s [[AccidentalMisnaming name right]]. At one point, when a giant demon knocks Tanjiro away, Inosuke attempts to invoke this trope... keyword is '''attempts'''. |
| 78 | --> '''Inosuke:''' '''''[[https://twitter.com/leafsxprodigy/status/1171458064907522048 "KENTAROOOOOOO!"]]''''' |
| 79 | ** Much later in the series, by the final battles, it is played straight and serious when [[spoiler:Tanjiro faces Akaza again to have their long waited fight. The battle starts with Akaza and Tanjiro calling each other’s names in [[BloodKnight murderous glee]] and [[UnstoppableRage rage]] respectively; for Rengoku’s death, ItsPersonalWithTheDragon]]. |
| 80 | * ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'': |
| 81 | ** Taichi and Yamato knock each other off a cliff in one episode. Taichi manages to grab on to the cliff with one hand while Yamato grabs onto him with one hand. SayMyName ensues. |
| 82 | ** ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' does this kind of thing a lot, several of the first evolutions to Champion level (at least) were proceeded by a round or two of Say My Name between the kids and their partner digimon. |
| 83 | * ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'': Right after [[spoiler:[=BlackWarGreymon=]]]'s death, [=WarGreymon=] yells his name twice, each time followed by an echo. |
| 84 | %%** From ''Anime/DigimonDataSquad'', KURATA! |
| 85 | %%** DAAMOOON! |
| 86 | * ''Manga/DNAngel'': |
| 87 | ** The scene where Daisuke calls Riku by her name when he tells her he's in love with her, not her sister Risa. Up to that point he'd always called both of them "Harada-san", prompting her to angrily complain she can't tell which one of them he's referring to. He still uses "-san" to a girl he's going out with, and she still calls him "Niwa-kun". |
| 88 | %%** The very first line in the anime of is screaming a name ''DAAARK!'' |
| 89 | * In ''Anime/DokiDokiPrecure'', Mana and Regina are the most often shouted names there. There are like four to five people who shout one of these names one after another in the the same scene. |
| 90 | * ''Manga/DragonBall'': |
| 91 | ** Goku's enemies are fond of screaming his name during their fight scenes. |
| 92 | *** Goku himself has the very memorable line turned yell after Krlllin dies. |
| 93 | ----> "You... won't get away with this... FRIIIIIIEEEEEZAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" |
| 94 | ** Vegeta was the first [[LargeHam major offender]], with "KAKAROOOOOOOT", "FRIIIEEEZAAAAA", "CEEEEEELLLLL" and "BUUUUUUUU". |
| 95 | ** Future Trunks also has a memorable "HEY, FRIEZA!" right before he completely wastes Frieza. |
| 96 | *** But when it comes to screaming Frieza's name Goku, Vegeta and Trunks are only one upped by Bardock who memorably goes OneManArmy on Frieza's army and despite a dozen soldiers holding him, Bardock can still [[https://youtu.be/Dt_g8ieMTd0?t=99 bellow his enemy's name]]. |
| 97 | ** Broly's dialogue almost entirely consists of [[NoIndoorVoice KAKAROOOOOOOT!!!/KAKAROTTOOOOOO!!!]] Justified in that he's completely insane, so he's not really capable of coherent speech to begin with. |
| 98 | ** Cell loves to yell Piccolo, Trunks, Goku or the Androids's names. But his true favorite words to shout to the heavens are "VEGEEEEETA" and "GOOOHAAAAAAN" when both Saiyans beat the crap out of him on two separate occasions. Cell's best line read is during the climax of the Cell games during his BeamOWar with Gohan, Vegeta [[ConvenientlyTimedAttackFromBehind hits him from behind]] and Cell utters the words "Vegeta!?" before being destroyed. |
| 99 | ** As the Future Trunks Arc of ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' was going on, Gowasu uses the name "Zamasu" more and more in his dialogue, which is now another MemeticMutation and there are even compilation videos of that. |
| 100 | ** Zamasu solidifies his VillainousBreakdown with a [[ChewingTheScenery gloriously hammy]] scream of [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "SON!!!! GOKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!"]] |
| 101 | * ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'': Whenever Shizuo is angry, and [[{{Troll}} Izaya]] is to blame somehow, expect Shizuo to yell, "III-ZAAA-YAAA!" |
| 102 | * In some ''Manga/EmmaAVictorianRomance'' episodes, all Emma does is to whisper the name of the person that is talking to her. The manga has a completely different ending, and she can still speak in full sentences there. |
| 103 | * ''Anime/EurekaSeven'' |
| 104 | ** Many times between Renton and Eureka, usually when one is falling through the sky and the other is trying to catch them in a mecha. |
| 105 | %%** ''"ANEMONEEE!"'' |
| 106 | * A cute version of this in ''Manga/{{Eyeshield 21}}'': after [[SecretKeeper dutifully keeping Sena's secret]] and cheering only for "Eyeshield 21", Suzuna joyfully cries "SE~NAAA~!!" when he finally reveals himself. |
| 107 | * ''Manga/FairyTail'': [[LastNameBasis Erza and Edolas!Erza]] do this to each other a lot. |
| 108 | --> "SCARLET!" |
| 109 | --> "KNIGHTWALKER!" |
| 110 | ** Natsu does this [[spoiler: when he sees Igneel get killed by Acnologia.]] |
| 111 | ** Lucy par for the course, shouts "NAAAAAAATTTSSSSUUUUU" when she can. |
| 112 | * ''Anime/FateStayNight'': |
| 113 | ** Saber and Shirou are each more worried about the other's safety than their own, so whenever something remotely dangerous happens, "SEIBAAA!" "SHIROU!" |
| 114 | ** The final episode has Shirou turn this into a BattleCry. "KOTOMINE... KIREEEIII!" [[spoiler: "LÄßT!"]]. |
| 115 | * ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'': While there's plenty of name-calling from just about everyone in the main cast, Lin makes it her speciality, as she's able to alert Kenshiro to danger happening near her from far away simply by shouting his name. |
| 116 | -->'''Lin''': "[[DistressCall KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!]]" |
| 117 | ** Subverted with Jagi, of which one of his catchphrases is literally "SAY MY NAME!!" |
| 118 | * ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': |
| 119 | ** Parodied when Hohenheim and Alphonse reunite. "Father!" -- "My vintage suit of armour!" |
| 120 | ** Alphonse's frequent cries of "Nii-san! Nii-san!" (or "Brother!" in the English dub). |
| 121 | ** Ed gets his fair share of screaming 'ALPHONSE!' or 'AL!' |
| 122 | ** Scar also gets this towards Kimblee, after the latter escapes in their first fight. |
| 123 | %%** "When we're alone, the Colonel always calls me Riza." [[OhCrap "Shit...!"]] "Just kidding. Thanks for blowing your cover." -- "DAMN IT!" |
| 124 | %%** "COLONEL!" |
| 125 | %%** Mustang and Hawkeye: "LIEUTENANT!" |
| 126 | %%** BodyguardCrush: YOUNG LOOORD! |
| 127 | %%** "LAN FAAAN!" |
| 128 | %%** "HOHENHEIIIIIIM!" Screamed by Pride, just as Hoenheim was [[SealedEvilInACan sealing him in a giant earthen dome. |
| 129 | %%** Winry yells "ED!" an awful lot. |
| 130 | %%** "SELIM!" Screamed by Ed as he [[DevourTheDragon invades]] [[KarmicDeath Pride's]] [[YourHeadAsplode Philosopher's Stone]].]] |
| 131 | %%** "HAVOC!" - [[spoiler:screamed by Mustang as [[WolverineClaws Lust]] [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impales]] [[UnluckyEverydude Havoc]].]] |
| 132 | %%** "It hurts…! Help me… ''LUST''…!" |
| 133 | * ''Anime/{{Gankutsuou}}'': Franz is guaranteed to scream "ALBEEERRRT!" whenever his best friend is in trouble. Albert himself has a habit of yelling "Count!" ("Hakushaku!"). This is a fairly good indicator of the show's [[HoYay relationship]] [[AllLoveIsUnrequited dynamics]]. |
| 134 | * ''Manga/GetBackers'': |
| 135 | ** Ginji greets all of his friends (even PunchClockVillain Maguruma!) by going SuperDeformed, calling their name and waving a fan with the kanji for "happiness" on it. |
| 136 | ** Kazuki's "JUUUBEEEI!" in the first Infinity Fortress Arc when Juubei looks on the verge of death after his battle with Kazuki. The manga artist took the liberty of devoting almost a full-length page to the speech bubble. |
| 137 | ** Emishi's "SHIDO-HAN!" speech bubble when it looks like Shido's been killed by Liu Mengyan's flunkies is almost that big. |
| 138 | ** In the manga, Ginji greets Shido and Makubex respectively after his first time seeing them in ages: "Shido! Shido! Shido!" "Makubex! Makubex! Makubex!"... ''both'' multiplied by a few more times. |
| 139 | %%** Ginji: "BAAAN-CHAAAN!!!" "KAZU-CHAAAN!!!" |
| 140 | * ''Manga/GetterRobo'': |
| 141 | ** Every time Musashi dies, we're greeted with this: |
| 142 | ---> '''Ryouma''': "MUSASHIII!" |
| 143 | ** ''Getter Robo Armageddon'' has two awesome moments coming from Go: |
| 144 | ---> '''Go''': [after being released] CHAAANGE! SHIIIN DRAAAGOOON! |
| 145 | ---> '''Go''': [after realizing who the pilot of Black Getter is] RYYYOOOUUUMAAA! |
| 146 | * ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'': |
| 147 | ** Played with when Batou yells 'MOTOKOOO!' when Motoko Kusanagi is supposedly assassinated, only to later find out she's perfectly fine, and [[EveryoneCanSeeIt the other Section 9 members tease him about it]]. |
| 148 | --->'''Ishikawa:''' ''[snerk]'' You should have heard him. He was all, "MOTOKOOO..."\ |
| 149 | '''Batou:''' [[BigShutUp SHUT UP]]! |
| 150 | ** In ''Anime/GhostInTheShell1995'', during the climax when [[spoiler:the Puppet Master's body is blown to hell and Motoko appears to have died after merging with him. She gets better after finding a new body]]. |
| 151 | ** Used in the ''Stand Alone Complex'' Platform/{{P|layStation2}}S2 game, where the antagonist had a cybernetic body that had the exact same specs as the Major's own. Batou singled out the impostor by yelling "MOTOKOOO!!!" and shooting the one that reacted. |
| 152 | --->'''The Major:''' So, how did you know that that wasn't me?\ |
| 153 | '''Batou:''' I just knew... Besides, you'd never react just 'cause I called out your name. |
| 154 | * This typically ends up being parodied in ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'', but is played straight in the more serious arcs. A particularly hilarious instance occurs where a criminal whom [[CloudCuckooLander Katsura]] [[MakesSenseInContext mistakenly believes to be Mickey Mouse's voice actor]] gets beaten up and thrown out onto the street, which leads to him yelling "MICKEY MOOOOOOOUSE!" when he discovers his fate... except since the name is copyrighted, it gets turned into an extremely drawn-out censor bleep instead. |
| 155 | * In ''Animation/GuardianFairyMichel'', Michel shouts the names of his fairy friends to summon them and make himself transform. |
| 156 | * ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'': |
| 157 | ** ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' has the utterly spectacular final duel between Domon and Master Asia. Just as Domon scores a killing blow, Master Asia reveals that he intended to lose the fight all along. Cue ReallyDeadMontage and Domon going "'''[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone SHISHOOOOOO!!!]]'''" |
| 158 | ** Done during the dramatic duel between the Strike and Aegis Gundams in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED''. The pilots are lost in their grief and rage-fueled SEED Modes and the last things they say to each other before trying to murder each other are their names: "KIRAAAAAAA!" "ATHRUUUUUUN!" They tend to say each other's names quite often throughout the series. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLc1pkOz4jA Spoofed in this video.]] |
| 159 | *** [[spoiler:Kira also winds up screaming '''''"FLAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!"''''' in the FinalBattle when [[BigBad Rau Le Creuset]] [[KickTheDog blows the escape shuttle Flay Allster was on to smithereens, killing her]]. He does it ''twice;'' the first when the shuttle starts to combust from being shot by the Providence Gundam's [[AttackDrone DRAGOON]], and the second after the explosion subsides and [[HeroicBSOD he bursts into tears]] [[ILetGwenStacyDie over failing to save her]]. Both screams have the same effect as a BigNo, which is understandable since [[TheLostLenore she was Kira's ex-girlfriend, whom Kira likely still had lingering feelings for]].]] |
| 160 | * In ''Manga/HanaKimi'', a remembered sex scene features Nanba and Kanako yelling each others names, which apparently turns them on. |
| 161 | * ''Anime/HandMaidMay'' lampshaded this concept, as the characters [[ShowWithinAShow watch a cheesy soap opera]] whose cast communicates ''entirely'' by saying their respective names to each other. |
| 162 | * Nagi of ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'' calls out Hayate's name whenever she's in trouble, as does Nishisawa once or twice. He will always appear immediately out of nowhere to save the day once so summoned; on at least one occasion he even apparently waited out of sight until Nagi called out his name before saving her from a rampaging robot. |
| 163 | * ''Anime/HeroicAge'': In any scene in which she appears, Princess Dhianeila will say "Age," (pronounced "Ay-ee-gee") the name of the WildChild protagonist. Problem is, given the insane level of [[PsychicPowers telepathy]] she has, it's entirely possible that she is contacting him directly, though no evidence of this is ever shown in the series. |
| 164 | * ''Anime/HetaliaAxisPowers'': |
| 165 | ** There's a joke where Germany will yell Italy's name in exasperation because of his obvious uselessness. |
| 166 | ** Estonia will scream Latvia's name in horror whenever this is used as a TheChewToy by Russia, this is frequent enough as to be considered his CatchPhrase |
| 167 | ---> '''Estonia:''' LATVIAAA!!! |
| 168 | * ''Anime/HirogaruSkyPrettyCure'': After watching her parents be cursed into comas, the only thing Princess Elle can do to save herself from Battamonda is scream for Sora. This happens to be one of her first words, besides "Mama", "Papa", and her own name. |
| 169 | * ''Literature/HowToRaiseABoringGirlfriend'': Eriri Spencer Sawamura ''loves'' to scream out her rival Utaha Kasumigaoka's name, often uttering it in FullNameBasis. |
| 170 | * In ''Manga/HunterXHunter'', after the BreakTheCutie scene, Gon yells "PITOU", [[spoiler:forces himself to transform into an adult and is going to kill Neferpitou. Later, Killua despairingly yells Gon's name after seeing his best friend transformed into an adult and beating up Neferpitou's corpse.]] |
| 171 | * ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'': |
| 172 | ** "INUYASHA! KAGOME!" This show takes name-yelling to new heights. Mercilessly parodied in a commercial for the show, with moments taken from all across the series' run. Which can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgw69hd8OOI here]]. Inuyasha says Kagome's name 568 times in the whole series, while Kagome says Inuyasha's '''971''' times--the majority of both being screams. Out of 167 episodes. |
| 173 | ** In Kikyo's debut sequence, her name was six or seven of Inuyasha's lines in a row. |
| 174 | * ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': |
| 175 | ** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Phantom Blood]]'' shows everyone why "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-8Zi1YhdRA JOJO!!]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2Z00mB02NY DIO!!]]" had the best the [[ArchEnemy rivalry]] in the franchise, just in the glorious way they say each other's names. |
| 176 | ** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Battle Tendency]]'': Joseph Joestar lets out one of these when he realizes [[spoiler:that his friend, Caesar Zeppeli, is dead.]] |
| 177 | --->'''Joseph:''' '''CAAAEEESAAARR!!!''' |
| 178 | ** ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'': Polnareff calls out for [[spoiler:Avdol]] after the latter was [[PortalCut obliterated]] by Vanilla Ice's Cream. |
| 179 | ** ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Diamond is Unbreakable]]'': Koichi has one when Jotaro gets hit by Sheer Heart Attack's explosion. |
| 180 | ** ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Golden Wind]]'': Mista screams, "[[spoiler:NARANCIA]]!" in despair once Giorno, also in tears, confirmed the body impaled on the posts of a spiked fence was an instantaneous death, and it was far too late to revive him. |
| 181 | ** ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Stone Ocean]]'': During the final battle, [[spoiler:Jolyne, mortally wounded, uses her remaining strength to get Emporio to safety as she charges towards Pucci]]. The latter screams her name as she is killed and her remains turn into [[ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth butterflies]]. |
| 182 | ** ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun Steel Ball Run]]'': Upon [[spoiler:Gyro's death]], Johnny becomes visibly disdained with a ''heartbroken'' expression, as well as a flashback to what had happened before. Everything happened so fast and he was so dumbfounded that he couldn't do anything but watch, teary-eyed desperate, and later screams out his name. |
| 183 | ** ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureJojolion JoJolion]]'': In the last fight, Yasuho screams for Josuke as [[spoiler:Toru]]'s Wonder of U calamity starts closing in to finish them off. |
| 184 | * No one can say ''Mi...sa...kiiii~~'' quite like ''Anime/{{K}}'''s [[AxCrazy Fushimi]] [[StalkerWithACrush Saruhiko]]. He takes full advantage of the fact that Misaki ''[[BerserkButton hates]]'' being called by his [[GenderBlenderName given name]] and says it as often as possible. If they're in the same room, [[TheGadfly Saruhiko]] will make sure to put it in as many sentences as he can manage. |
| 185 | ** In their [[spoiler:death scene]], Meruem and Komugi play gungi, and Meruem bets that if he wins, Komugi must call him by his name. It's not sure that he finally wins, but [[spoiler:in their final moment]] Komugi calls him by his name. |
| 186 | * ''Manga/KaseiYakyoku'': "TAKAAA!", from Sara [[spoiler: when the Great Kanto Earthquake is unleashed]] |
| 187 | ** "SABURO-SAAAN!" follows later [[spoiler: when Taka's brother [[HeroicSacrifice is stabbed to death to save Sara]].]] |
| 188 | * ''Anime/KillLaKill'' has Ryuko and Satsuki, who often indulge in this while fighting, with the traditional screaming. Outside of that, they tend to play a sort of Marco Polo; whenever one says the other's [[FullNameBasis full name]], the other says the name of the first in as disdainful and venomous a tone they can muster. There have been two instances where Ryuko's life has been in danger and Mako has resorted to yelling her name [[OverlyLongGag over and over and over]]. Then, at the GrandFinale... |
| 189 | --> *[[MomentOfSilence Soundtrack goes completely dead]] for a {{Beat}}* |
| 190 | --> '''Ryuko''': SENKETSUUU! |
| 191 | * ''Manga/KurokosBasketball'': |
| 192 | ** Aomine and Kise exchange this trope constantly during the match between their teams. Quickly reaches {{Narm}} levels, especially with Kise, who is executing this trope while calling Aomine "Aominecchi". |
| 193 | %%** Midorima is a common offender, particularly in the first Seirin vs. Shuutoku match. |
| 194 | * ''Literature/KyoKaraMaoh'': |
| 195 | ** Lead Shibuya 'AllLovingHero' Yuuri is king and at the center of everyone's attention, all the time. He gets his name called so constantly that ''heika!'', meaning 'your majesty', is the most common word in the script. He gets it from Gunter constantly, from Conrad regularly, and from Gwendal in extreme circumstances, as well as from random subjects and people he's just met. Conrad also calls him Yuuri in intense situations on and off, depending on how he's feeling, and Wolfram's impassioned exclamations of his fiancée's name are to be counted on anytime anything dangerous happens, like he thinks it'll somehow protect the wimp. Shori is also good for a 'Yuuri' or 'Yu-chan' pretty reliably, and Murata comes out with a good number of dramatic 'Shibuya's. |
| 196 | ** Yuuri himself does plenty of name-calling. Especially Conrad and especially during the Arm Arc. |
| 197 | ** There are other instances of names being scrupulously avoided: [[spoiler:Murata whenever he goes to talk to Shinou in the temple]] is a good example, as well as the way Murata and Shori choose to address each other: 'Friend of my little brother' and 'older brother of my friend,' and Wolfram's determined address of his brother [[HalfHumanHybrid Conrad]] as 'Weller-kyo'. |
| 198 | ** This last shattered in the scene at the burnt church where Yuuri and Conrad are both missing, presumed dead, and then they find Conrad's severed arm... COOONRAAAD! |
| 199 | * ''Anime/LastOrderFinalFantasyVII'': Zack shouts "Sephiroth!" to gets his attention while the latter is talking to Jenova. But more memorably Cloud channels Guts from ''Berserk'' as he charges towards his [[ArchEnemy nemesis]] bellowing "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch9Ttxku30s&feature=youtu.be&t=109 SEPHIRRRROOOOTH!!]]". |
| 200 | ** After Cloud impales Sephiroth he remembers his childhood crush got slashed and says "Tifa!" in realization before running to her location. |
| 201 | *** Tifa herself says "Cloud" gently or more accurately in {{Engrish}} "Cloudo". |
| 202 | * ''Manga/LeaveItToPet'': [[TheProtagonist Noboru]] can call Pet to him by calling out his name, "[=PEEEEEET=]!". |
| 203 | * Gugu screams "ARNOLD!" after his death in chapter 3 of ''Love Aquarium''. Arnold was a fish. |
| 204 | * Whenever Franchise/LupinIII comes within sight of Inspector Zenigata, expect a loud "LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPP-AAAANNNNNNNNNN!!!!" as a prelude to the shenanigans to follow. |
| 205 | * ''Franchise/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'': |
| 206 | ** The last episode of the first season is called "Say My Name". Nanoha instructs Fate to call her by her name so that they can become friends, and Fate tries it out a few times. |
| 207 | ** This trope is even referenced in the first [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nMiFspQ6bc opening's]] [[http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/nanoha/innocentstarter.htm last verse]]. |
| 208 | --->''[[BadFuture Even if the future is taken captive, even if it vanishes in the distance]],\ |
| 209 | I will remember your clear voice. \ |
| 210 | Call my name,\ |
| 211 | [[WhenSheSmiles And smile like you did that day]].'' |
| 212 | ** The trope is again referenced not one or two but three times in the [[CallAndResponseSong special]] [[LetsDuet song]] "Brand New Days": first from Nanoha to Fate, then from Fate to Nanoha, and finally in unison to each other. |
| 213 | ** There are many scenes where Vita calls Hayate's name. |
| 214 | ** In ''Manga/MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce'', after breaking out of her CuteMute status, Lily yells Thoma's name, which finally snaps him out of his berserker state. |
| 215 | * In ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'', they have all of the main characters say the other characters names when the drama is upped. |
| 216 | * In the anime of ''Literature/MagicalWarfare'', Takeshi Nanase does this with alarming regularity. By the final episode, easily '''half his dialogue'' consists of this, mostly [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight his brother's name]]: "Gekkou!". |
| 217 | ** In fact, towards the start of the episode there's a scene where Gekkou spends about two or three minutes [[InfoDump dumping various pieces of exposition]] [[GainaxEnding that make very little sense]], and every other line or two Takeshi interrupts with this trope. It gets quite ridiculous after a while. |
| 218 | * ''Anime/MazingerZ'': |
| 219 | ** "KOUJI-KUUUN!" -- "SAYAKA-SAAAN!" Kouji and Sayaka often yelled each other's name [[BattleCouple when one of them was in danger]] or when they were pissed off at each other. [[BelligerentSexualTension Which happened often]] since they were the prototype of couple formed by an IdiotHero and a {{Tsundere}}. |
| 220 | ** MORI MORI-HAKASEEE! was shouted by Kouji when the former committed his HeroicSacrifice. |
| 221 | * ''Manga/MinamiKe'''s ShowWithinAShow "Sensei and Ninomiya-kun". [[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=u8h9eOZTv48 SENSEIII! NINOMIYA-KUN!]] That's the entire gag of the show. |
| 222 | * There was a puzzle in the 2003 MIT Mystery Hunt ([[http://web.mit.edu/puzzle/www/03/www.acme-corp.com/teamGuest/Training/tp-p.html Whoa - I know Kiaido!]]) which consisted entirely of shots of characters doing this very thing - yelling and saying names. |
| 223 | * ''Manga/{{Monster}}'': |
| 224 | ** We have Wolfe who demands that Tenma says his name before he dies. Having one's name stripped away is an ongoing theme. |
| 225 | ** Tenma and Nina are crying and breathing each other's names every time they see each other. Pent up sexual tension much? |
| 226 | * ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': |
| 227 | ** "SASUKEEE!", which is almost always followed[=/=]preceded by "NARUTOOO!". These two start the trend of screaming each other's name during their fight on the hospital roof after the Chunin exams and it kind of escalates from there, to the point this becomes a RunningGag throughout the franchise (especially in its adaptations). |
| 228 | ** Gaara calls him "Uchiha Sasuke" so many times while the two of them are fighting (both whispered and shouted) that you could make a drinking game out of it, as [[http://tv.ign.com/articles/765/765835p1.html at least one episode reviewer]] observed. He gives Naruto the same treatment during their battle, regularly calling him "Uzumaki Naruto" while sporting a SlasherSmile. |
| 229 | ** 'Sasuke-kun' was was used often by young Sakura. |
| 230 | *** There's Hinata's "Naruto-kun...", although it's rarely shouted. |
| 231 | *** {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in an omake in ''Shippuden''. Kakashi teases Hinata about her stammering "Naruto-kuns", being a big hit with the male viewers. That inspires Sakura to launch into a long litany of "Naruto-kuns" herself, as Kakashi and Hinata call out different moods for her to act out with each one. |
| 232 | ** The Guardian Ninjas filler arc has Asuma and [[spoiler:his enemy and former friend Kazuma]] yelling each other's names a lot, and Naruto often yells Sora's name. |
| 233 | ** People yell [[spoiler:Asuma]]'s name quite often around the time that he dies. |
| 234 | ** At the very end of episode 79, from Shikamaru: "...ASUMA!" |
| 235 | ** Madara's "HASHIRAMA" when sensing the first Hokage on battlefield is glorious. |
| 236 | ** When a [[spoiler:certain cousin]] of Hinata dies... [[spoiler: "NEEEEEJIIIII!"]] |
| 237 | ** PlayedForLaughs whenever Lee and Guy are a) in the same scene and b) having one of their "YOUTH!!" moments: "Guy-sensei!" "Lee!" "Guy-sensei!" "Lee!". Cue [[InelegantBlubbering stream]] [[ManlyTears of tears]]. |
| 238 | ** In the Invasion of Pain arc and ''Anime/TheLastNarutoTheMovie'', Naruto gets another name that, when uttered, is usually followed by a ''massive'' TearJerker AND can give the "SASUKE!" above a run for its money: [[spoiler:"HINATAAAAA!!!"]] |
| 239 | ** The ones with the most impact are [[spoiler: "OBITOOOOOO" and "KAKASHIIIIII" when the old friends face each other at last in years]]. |
| 240 | * ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': |
| 241 | ** Shinji does name-saying in his dreams. Shinji has a LOT of these moments, and it spells out a lot of how he relates to various people. Asuka is the only one he's on a first-name basis with (even calling for help). |
| 242 | ** Adults get (first name-san), Rei is always just ''Ayanami'', Kaworu is "Kaworu-kun". |
| 243 | %%** Asuka is constantly telling or yelling Shinji's name. |
| 244 | * In ''Manga/OnePiece'', whenever a character gets injured in a battle that other crew members are watching or participating in, or in other moments of intense emotions, someone close to them typically yells their name. Examples include: |
| 245 | ** During Enies Lobby, "ROOOBIIIN!!!" was Luffy's catchphrase. Luffy will sometimes shout out the name of the villain he's up against once he's ready to kick their ass or after they've done something truly heinous. Examples of this include: "ARLONG" "CROOOCODILLLLLE!" "ENEEEEEEL!" "PIGEON GUY!" ([[PsychoForHire Rob Lucci]]) "MOOOORIAAAA". After the timeskip it's "CAESAAAAR!" as he moves in to finish him off and "DOFLAMINGOOOOO!!!!" after Doflamingo forces [[spoiler:Bellamy]] to fight him. More recently in Wano it’s “KAAAAIIIIIDOOOO!” from Luffy. |
| 246 | *** Luffy's American voice actor Colleen Clinkenbird especially threw her lungs out during Skyepeia and hated the bit where Luffy was climbing the Beanstalk shouting Enel's name non-stop. |
| 247 | ** Sanji yelling his female crewmates' names, "NAAAAAAMIIIII SAAAAAAAAAAN" "ROOOOOBIIIIN CHAAAAAAAAN". The best one is during Sanji's first scene in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHPcXnB2QL0 Strong World]]''. |
| 248 | ---> '''Usopp''': SHUT UP, WILL YA? |
| 249 | *** It's especially hilarious when Sanji's seiyuu Hiroaki Hirata does it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICPHWBw9TLA live]]. |
| 250 | ** Nami when she broke down in the Arlong arc: "ARLONG! ARLONG! ARLONG!", Nami also loves to shout two other male names, "LUUUUFFY!" and "SAAANJIII-KUUUN!". |
| 251 | ** When Usopp is disguised as Sogeking in desperate situations, his crewmates yell out his real name, rather than his assumed one, even though they're playing along with his masquerade (with the exceptions of Luffy and Chopper, who can't see through his PaperThinDisguise). |
| 252 | ** In the Sabaody Archipelago arc, Usopp tries to ask Silvers Rayleigh what the One Piece was and whether it truly existed. Luffy, who vehemently ''refuses'' to know anything about it, interrupts Usopp by screaming his name before Usopp can even finish his sentence. |
| 253 | ** In Impel Down, as Luffy and the rest of the inmates escape to Level 3, a pursuing [[WardensAreEvil Magellan]] comes across the broken body of [[NumberTwo Hannyabal]], who was beaten up by Luffy, and some of his subordinates. At this point Magellan [[TheGlovesComeOff decides to stop playing around]] and roars "STRAW HAAAAAAAAT" loud enough that the inmates can hear him loud and clear, before swearing that he won't let any of them escape. |
| 254 | ** In the [[RescueArc War at Marineford Arc]], we have these brotherly calls: |
| 255 | --->'''Luffy''': AAACEEE! |
| 256 | --->'''Ace''': LUUUFYYY! |
| 257 | ** The tenth movie ''Strong World'' gives us a variation. [[spoiler:As Luffy defeats Shiki, you'd expect the latter to yell out Luffy's name or nickname, but he actually screams ''"ROGEEEEEEEEEEER!"'', as Gol D. Roger was the only other man from East Blue that had defeated him in the past.]] |
| 258 | ** In the anime, after Luffy sends Doflamingo flying into a mountain and goes into HeroicRROD, Doflamingo gets back on his feet and starts hunting Luffy down while mercilessly [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice skewering anyone who tries to stop him]]. When Luffy still won't come out, Doflamingo swears to make him suffer and roars "STRAW HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!". |
| 259 | ** Big Mom in the Whole Cake arc "MOOOOOTHEEEER" after Luffy shows her the broken photo. |
| 260 | ** Oden and the Nine Red Scabbards in the Wano arc bellow "OROOOOCHI!!" quite a few times. |
| 261 | * Through the course of ''Anime/OneStormyNight'', Mei and Gabu speak/yell the other's name in times of peril and/or uncertainty. |
| 262 | * ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'': |
| 263 | ** This trope is parodied in episode 19 when the girls from Lobelia academy force Haruhi to be in their play, where she is cast as the helpless maiden opposite Benio as the male protagonist. Her only line is "Frederick-sama" which she says over and over in the same monotone voice. |
| 264 | %%** While not extremely prominent in this work, the very last episode of the anime has "HARUHIII!" "SENPAI!!" Tamaki is much more dramatic about it than Haruhi. |
| 265 | * Weaponized at the climax of ''Anime/Persona4TheAnimation'': As Yu is [[spoiler: being absorbed into Ameno-Sagiri]], the entire Investigation Team calls out to him, [[spoiler: simultaneously evolving their Personas into their ultimate form.]] SEMPAAAIII!/YU-SEMPAAAI!/YUUU!/NARUKAMIII! |
| 266 | * ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': |
| 267 | ** Ash seems to yell "Pikachu!" or "TEAM ROCKET!" at least once an episode, as Pikachu is his faithful Pokémon and Team Rocket are his adversaries. |
| 268 | ** A proper, truly dramatic example of this trope happens at the end of Ash and Paul's first full 6-on-6 battle during the "Diamond and Pearl" saga of the anime, as [[spoiler:Ash's final Pokemon faints following an epic battle against his former trainer]]. |
| 269 | --->'''Ash:''' [[spoiler:MONFER[[BigNo NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!]]]] |
| 270 | * Used often in ''Anime/PrincessTutu'', particularly in two climactic scenes in the second season. Some fans were jarred when the dub's decision to translate the main character's name to keep ThemeNaming meant that Fakir screams DUUUCK! in one such scene. |
| 271 | * In ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', Kyoko yells "SAYAKAAA!" when [[spoiler:Sayaka turns into a witch]]. |
| 272 | * ''Anime/RageOfBahamutGenesis'': There's no shortage of Kaisar's "FAVARRRROOOOOOO!" throughout the series. |
| 273 | * ''Anime/RahXephon'' has Kuki in episode 23 yelling "KUUNUUGIII!!!" in panic when the latter is about to go down in a TakingYouWithMe scenario. |
| 274 | * "RANMA!!! AKANE!!!" moments are very common in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', Rumiko Takahashi's early work. Played for laughs when the normally {{belligerent|SexualTension}} Ranma and Akane turn into SickeninglySweethearts because of [[LovePotion love mushrooms]]. Instead of using their actual names, they call out to each other using terms of affection. |
| 275 | --> '''Ranma:''' BABY! |
| 276 | ** Jagi is particularly fond of this trope. He also adds emphasis in the translated ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Hokuto Musou'': "SayMyName, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitches!]]" |
| 277 | ** Near the end of Kenshiro's fight with Jagi, he manages to pull this off on him as an ironic way of taunting the guy. |
| 278 | * ''Manga/Reborn2004'': JUUUDAAIIMEEE!!!! There are actually entire compilations of all of Gokudera's "Juudaime"'s. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPGP0RVRJOI It's very long]]. (Did we mention that that compilation was only for roughly about slightly past half of the anime?) |
| 279 | * From ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'': "Anthyyy!" "Miss Utena!" happens in quite a few episodes, especially during critical duels and at ''the'' penultimate scene of the last episode. |
| 280 | * ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'': |
| 281 | ** It becomes sad in the Shimabara {{filler}} arc, when [[spoiler: as Magdaria lays dying in Sanosuke's arms, Sano realizes that she never told him her real name and mentions it in tears. Sayo smiles weakly and says "Sayo... my real name, it's Sayo..." and dies less than a minute afterwards. Sanosuke spends the following seconds holding his deceased friend ([[ShipTease maybe]]) in his arms, whispering "Sayo... I'm so sorry, Sayo..."]] |
| 282 | %%** "KAORU-DONO!!!!" "KENSHIIIN!!" is a staple of the manga. |
| 283 | %%** Or, in the [[{{Macekre}} disconcerting]] Spanish dub, ''"Kenshi"''. |
| 284 | * ''Manga/TheRoseOfVersailles'': |
| 285 | ** The ending theme ends with André's heartfelt cry of "Oscar... OSCAAAR!!!!" |
| 286 | * ''Manga/SailorMoon'': |
| 287 | ** "USAKOOOOO!" "MAMO-CHAAAAAAAN!" "USAGI-CHAAAAAAN!" "USAGIII!" (from Rei) |
| 288 | ** At the end of season 4 "Helios!" "Chibi-usa!" "That's the first time... you said my name." |
| 289 | ** "SERENITY!" "ENDYMIOOON!" |
| 290 | ** In episode 35, Princess Serenity calls out Endymion's name during a flashback. |
| 291 | ** Zoisite calls Kunzite's name as Queen Beryl is striking him down as punishment for his disobedience. |
| 292 | ** Happens in episode 24 when Naru cries out for Nephrite as he [[spoiler:dies and fades away in her arms.]] |
| 293 | ** The Inner Senshi call out Usagi's name a ''lot'' during the penultimate battles of the Dark Kingdom arc. |
| 294 | ** Happens in the 74th episode in the second season, ''R'', when Green Esmeraude leaves Crimson Rubeus on his exploding spaceship for failing to capture Chibi-Usa and stopping Sailor Moon. |
| 295 | --> "Esmeraude, no! Don't leave me! ESMERAUDE!!!!" |
| 296 | * In another Sunrise series with the character designs drawn by [[OnlySixFaces Hisashi Hirai]], Kuzuma and Ryuho from ''Anime/{{Scryed}}'' shout each other's names multiple times through out the course of the show. It doesn't help that Kazuma has [[Creator/SoichiroHoshi Kira's voice actor]]. |
| 297 | * ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana'': |
| 298 | ** "SHANA!!!" "YUJI!!" Actually of plot importance, because Shana got her name from Yuji, and Yuji is usually not referred to with his name by the Flame Haze, because they consider him an object rather than a person. |
| 299 | %%** "He didn't even ask if I WANTED a name... Sha... na." |
| 300 | * Very common in {{shoujo|Demographic}}: |
| 301 | ** Many fans got their first taste of the anime-style of this with ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'': "Miaka!" "Tamahome!" until [[MemeticMutation it became a meme]] associated with that show. |
| 302 | ** Suboshi quite a bit in the fist OVA series: "Yui-sama! ''Yui-sama!!''" |
| 303 | ** The 1970s series ''Manga/CandyCandy'' delights the audience with a scene where Candy and her best friend Annie are reconciled. A few minutes of "Candyyy!" "Anniiie, oh Annie!" "Candyyy!" "Annie!" "Oh ''Candy''!" ping ponged with such strong feeling that (at least in the Finnish dub) you can [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything close your eyes and see something else than]] little girls running towards each other on a meadow of fragrant blossoms and sparkling dewdrops. |
| 304 | * ''Anime/{{Simoun}}'': In the final episode, Yun happens to say Dominura's name MeanwhileInTheFuture while thinking of her. |
| 305 | * ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'': |
| 306 | ** LINAAA!!! said {{Love Interest|s}} Gourry at least once in the novels, manga, anime, games... |
| 307 | ** Lina is prone to screaming out everyone else's names when they're in danger, namely in the second season of the anime. |
| 308 | * ''Manga/{{Subaru}}'': "KAZUMAAAA!!" is yelled by Subaru after she leaves his funeral. |
| 309 | * ''Anime/SuzysZooDaisukiWitzy'' has this at the end of the episode ''Boof Comes Alive'', where Boof calls Witzy's name. The Japanese version has both of them calling each other's name instead. |
| 310 | * ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': |
| 311 | ** When the Anti-Spiral bites the dust, the whole Dai-Gurren Brigade does SIIMOOON! But it turns out the Lagann survived. |
| 312 | ** Viral does the same just prior to ripping the Lagann out of Gurren and throwing it at the Anti-Spiral. |
| 313 | ** Kamina's "OYAJIII!" when his DisappearedDad's skeleton is found. |
| 314 | %%** ''NIIIAAA!!!'' |
| 315 | * ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'': Episode 13 has the blunt and comparatively quiet "Let's go, [[FirstNameBasis Kotetsu.]]" Episode 24 is the proper BigWordShout variety. |
| 316 | -->'''Kotetsu:''' "Hey, you have pretty long eyelashes..." |
| 317 | -->'''Barnaby:''' Kotetsu...? KOTETSUUU!!! |
| 318 | * ''Manga/TomorrowsJoe'', where ''everyone and their mom'' scream Joe's name at one point or another. |
| 319 | * ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'': At the absolute end where, for the first time in the series, Hibiki calls to Dita by her name. |
| 320 | * In ''Manga/VinlandSaga'', when he finally meets [[spoiler:Floki]] face to face, after learning that [[spoiler:[[YouKilledMyFather he is the one truly responsible for his father's death]]]], Thorfinn [[TranquilFury quietly]] mutters his name. Twice. Then he screams in [[UnstoppableRage murderous rage]]. |
| 321 | -->'''Thorfinn''': [[spoiler:'''''FLOKIII!''''']] |
| 322 | * ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne'' "Van!" "Allen!" "Hitomi!" Greater than 50% of CatGirl Merle's dialogue consists solely of "Van-sama!!" |
| 323 | * ''Anime/WeissKreuz'' gives us Aya running down halls waving a sword over his head, screaming "TAAAKAAATOOORIII!" |
| 324 | * Interestingly and heartbreakingply played with in the manga version of ''Manga/{{X 1999}}''. [[spoiler:When ArtificialHuman Nataku meets Karen Kasumi, he tells her his backstory -- including how he was cloned from a dead girl named Kazuki. When Nataku dies via TakingTheBullet for Karen's sake, Karen doesn't scream "NATAKU", but she instead calls out for "KAZUKIIII"]] |
| 325 | %% ** And of course, the three related media (the manga, TheMovie and the TV series) indulges massively in this: "KOTORIIII", "KAMUIIIII", "FUUUMAAAAAAA!" |
| 326 | * Seems to be a running theme of sorts in ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' (often combined with SkywardScream and IWillFindYou), as it's been done by [[Anime/YuGiOh every]] [[Anime/YuGiOhGX single]] [[Anime/YuGiOh5ds main]] [[Anime/YuGiOhZexal character]] [[Anime/YuGiOhArcV in the]] [[http://eliaspsuedo.tumblr.com/post/116286887268/yuzu-astral-bruno-johan-and-yugi-yes-the franchise]] (spoilers for each series in the link!). |
| 327 | ** The franchise does it regularly with all the Duelists whenever they summon a monster. This is most notable with monsters that have summon incantations, which justifies why the characters say out their names in dramatic fashion. Of course, it's in the rules to say out loud which monsters you are summoning. |
| 328 | * In ''Manga/YuGiOh'', Yugi and Jonouchi get this a lot from their worried friends in the peanut gallery whenever they look to be in trouble in a duel (unless they're dueling each other). It's usually at least somewhat justified because if they're not dueling using holograms that somehow physically affect the duelists, they're playing Games of Darkness and dueling using real monsters [[CastFromHitPoints sustained by the duelists' spirits]]. |
| 329 | ** The dub has Yugi yelling "YU-GI-OH!" during his transformation sequence, with his voice fading mid-cry into Yami's. Not a 'name' as such, but it does eventually become their title (Game King/King of Games). |
| 330 | * Judai from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' has always been incredibly fond of saying peoples' names, but when it comes to Johan, he really pulls out all the stops. Also, poor Asuka's lines in all of seasons 3 and 4 are reduced to her just saying "Judai..." in moments when it looks like he is in a tough corner, and "Judai!" when it looks like he is in serious trouble. |
| 331 | * ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'': |
| 332 | ** Jack screamis Carly's name at least two dozen times in Episode 59. It isn't funny ''[[NotHimself at]]'' ''[[KillTheOnesYouLove all]]''. |
| 333 | ** Yusei is very fond of screaming the names of his friends when they are really hurt or dead. |
| 334 | * ''Anime/YuGiOhBondsBeyondTime'': Before Yusei is about to do the last move, he hears how all of his (important) friends are calling his name, which gives him more resolution to win the duel. |
| 335 | * Kotori in ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL''. Her only role in the entire show is to support Yuma by saying his name nine bajillion times per episode. She serves very little purpose other than this. |
| 336 | ** There is also Kaito's shouting of "HARUTOOOOO!!!" whenever his little brother's safety is threatened. |
| 337 | * ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'': |
| 338 | ** Yuya and Yuzu are concerned for each for the majority of the series, and they would say each others names a lot, even when they are not together (which happens to be a lot). |
| 339 | ** While Kurosaki doesn't say his sisters name that much, fans tend to flanderize his character and make "RURI!" his CatchPhrase. It sort of has become an AscendedMeme, as he does yells "RURI!" at the later part of the series. |
| 340 | ** Yugo is so prone of yelling "RIN!", to the point that he often gets his ass kicked for it. Mostly because he calls her {{Identical Stranger}}s by Rin's name. |
