7Times where the good guys [[ShutUpHannibal reject]] [[HannibalLecture the villain's claims]] [[ShutUpHannibal by telling them to shut up]] in {{Anime}} and {{Manga}}.
8----
9* In ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'', the Survey Corps end up being branded as criminals for refusing to hand over [[TheHero Eren Yeager]], and are framed for murder, thus resulting in many of the protagonists becoming fugitives. When Levi captures a member of the Military Police, the man smugly says that unless Levi and the others surrender, the government will execute all the captured Survey Corps members, starting with their commander. Levi fires back that the Survey Corps only consists of those who believe some lives are worth more than others, and that he doesn't believe for a moment that the government will spare the Survey Corps members who turn themselves in.
10** Late in the series, Zeke tries to convince Eren to help him with his plan to [[spoiler:use the Founder's power to sterilize all Eldians, causing them to no longer have children and eventually die out]], and claims that Eren [[spoiler:and Zeke's]] father Grisha brainwashed Eren. Eren replies that he does what he does for his own reasons, that he's not the pathetic [[spoiler:younger brother]] Zeke thought he was, and that Zeke is a pitiful man who's letting his dead father rule his life.
11* ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'': Preemptively done by [[FBIAgent Victor Talbot]], who cuts off the recently arrested [[ManipulativeBastard Huey Laforet]] every time he so much as ''looks'' like he's going to talk before just having him shipped off to Alcatraz without PerpSweating.
12-->'''Huey:''' I must admit, I was hoping to have a somewhat more logical conversation.\
13'''Victor:''' Keep hoping, then. I know you can talk circles around me when it comes to logic. Good thing for me that I caught you, so I don't have to convince you of anything. I don't want to hear anything from you, either. In other words I'm refusing to talk with you at all and imprisoning you without fair trial.
14* In ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' [[spoiler: the man who tortures Griffith]] locks the door on Guts and company, then rants about how much he'll enjoy torturing them. Guts responds by stabbing him through the door, [[ImprobableUseOfAWeapon causing it to explode]]. He then falls down a {{bottomless pit|s}}.
15** Guts also does this to the Godhand during the Eclipse. "I said shut up!"
16* ''Manga/BlackLagoon'''s [[TheBaroness Balalaika]] gives three words and a sound effect to deal with one of the creepiest AxCrazy little psychos you'll ever meet.
17--> '''Balalaika''': I said KNEEL! * BANG*
18* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':
19** Ulquiorra attempts to brow-beat [[DamselInDistress Orihime]] over why she hesitated before protecting Ichigo. Ichigo interrupts, tells him to shut up, states it doesn't matter and thanks Orihime for her help. Then he carries on fighting Ulquiorra.
20** Barragan's gives an epic BreakThemByTalking speech about the absolute nature of his power over time and aging and how it makes him a god. Hacchi simply teleports his own rotting arm that Barragan severed into Barragan's body, pointing out that if his power is absolute that means Barragan himself is vulnerable to his own power and that it's the shinigami who are the real "gods of death".
21** In fake Karakura Town, while Aizen is going on about having supposedly engineered Ichigo's entire life, dating to before he was even born, he gets interrupted by ''Ichigo's goofball dad Isshin'' [[LetsGetDangerous ambushing him from behind]], [[FingerPokeOfDoom flicking him through a building with one finger]] and telling Aizen "you talk too much."
22** When Ichigo and Aizen fight again in the real Karakura Town, Aizen launches into his usual grandiose speeches about how everything is going according to plan and how he is therefore in control of anything Ichigo might try. Instead of listening, Ichigo interrupts with a stunning delivery. [[spoiler: He proves his huge power up by grabbing Aizen's face with the palm of his hand, dragging Aizen away from the town and slamming him into the ground at a location of his choosing. Aizen is stunned.]]
23*** After Aizen goes through yet another evolution, Ichigo casually shrugs him off before telling Aizen how he's grown sick of his constant speeches.
24** The ArcVillain of the Lost Agent Arc delivers a shocking revelation to Ichigo, revealing that Ichigo's been fighting on the wrong side all along and explaining exactly why he needs to revisit everything he thought he knew about himself and his purpose. [[spoiler: Ginjou's shocking revelation is that Ukitake created the Substitute Shinigami badge as a means of control and surveillance and even as an execution device should Ichigo go rogue. However, Ichigo knocks the wind out of Ginjou's sails by admitting he's already worked that out, that he further realised Ukitake wanted him to figure it out, and that his choice to help the Shinigami has been made with this knowledge, not because he lacks it.]]
25*** Initially, Ichigo had just said "Shut up!" After this, Ginjou mocked him for not being able to dispute his arguments, but Ichigo says he was telling ''Uryu'' (who had urged him to just ignore Ginjou) to shut up.
26** Giriko's boasts about the true nature of his time ability and the extent to which it can power him up for a fight is interrupted [[spoiler:when Kenpachi cuts him in half with the simple comment, "Boring".]]
27** In one of the latest chapters,[[spoiler: Aizen, of all people]], delivers one to [[spoiler: Yhwach]] after being taunted by the latter for [[spoiler: taking his former enemies' side in the final battle]]. [[spoiler: Aizen]] merely responds to that by unleashing [[spoiler: Hadō #99: Goryūtenmetsu]] from right under their feet.
28* In the earlier parts of the first ''Manga/CaptainTsubasa'' series, then-JerkAss Hyuuga harshly bitches Tsubasa out and tells him that he's a SpoiledBrat who's got no business into soccer. What is Tsubasa's reply?
29-->'''Tsubasa''': You're wrong, Hyuuga-kun! Because [[PunctuatedForEmphasis soccer is MY DREAM]]!
30** Tsubasa's girlfriend Sanae pulls one on [[spoiler: her HopelessSuitor Kanda]]. When he tells her that Tsubasa doesn't care about her and that's why [[spoiler: he hasn't come to talk to both of them upon Kanda's own request]], she immediately says "That's a lie, so shut it!" [[spoiler: And right after that, Tsubasa shows up.]]
31* Shinichi-Conan of ''Manga/CaseClosed'' has little patience for Motive Rants. He rejects each and every MotiveRant -- even ones the audience might find [[SympatheticMurderer sympathetic]].
32** He's even once shut up a suspect into surrendering to the police with ''his own'' BreakThemByTalking (in GratuitousEnglish, even!)
33* ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'': Touma Kamijou does this. A lot. At the climax of almost every arc he plays a major role in. He always comes up with an idealistic, heartfelt, understandable, and '''awesome''' response to ''every'' villain's EvilSpeechOfEvil and MotiveRant. Keep in mind that whenever he isn't up against an OmnicidalManiac, MagnificentBastard, or something of the like, he's up against a WellIntentionedExtremist, WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds, AntiHero, or someone with a backstory that makes their actions at least somewhat understandable and sympathetic. And Touma always manages to sound like the one that's right. '''ALWAYS.'''
34** Of note was his response to Vento of the Front's MotiveRant and FreudianExcuse. While he ''was'' sympathetic to her, Touma basically went, "If you think that justifies you trying to kill a bunch of people (including children) who had absolutely ''nothing'' to do with your tragedy, you're stupid! Time for me to kick your ass!"
35* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': In the first season finale, [[spoiler: [[Characters/CodeGeassSuzakuKururugi Suzaku Kururugi]]]] gives one of these to [[spoiler:Lelouch, who is in his Zero persona, after Zero!Lelouch calls out Suzaku for standing by Euphemia, who had been implicated in the SAZ massacre]].
36-->[[spoiler:'''Suzaku''': Your Geass power is quite convenient, isn't it? You get to hide in the shadows while others take all the blame for doing your dirty work. You're just an arrogant coward. That's your true nature, the real you.]]
37** [[Characters/CodeGeassLelouchLamperouge Lelouch Lamperouge]] also delivered a fairly epic one in Episode 16 of Season 1, against Mao, telling him to "Never speak again!" via Geass after he {{m|indRape}}essed with Suzaku. Arguably the ultimate "ShutUpHannibal" since he ''forced'' Mao to shut up ''forever''. [[spoiler:Or it would have been, if not for C.C. delivering a MercyKill just seconds later.]]
38*** Lelouch delivers a far more heart-wrenching one in Episode 21 of R2, when [[spoiler:he rejects his parents' plan to remake the world as a utopia without lies. While he acknowledges [[KnightTemplar their intentions being out of their own perception of good]], he ultimately denounces them for [[CallingTheOldManOut leaving him and Nunnally in Japan while Britannia waged war in that same country]]. He outright claims that they never truly cared for him since they were more focused on their twisted plan to rewrite all of creation for what ''they'' thought would make the world a better place. When Emperor Charles, his father, tries to tell him he's "laboring under a delusion", Lelouch outright ''rages'' at him and Marianne for daring to say such as he's crying tears of rage and emotional pain.]]
39--> '''Lelouch:''' I will '''''not''''' ''let you call that a lie!'' Over my dead body! [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Your refusal to face reality... content to watch us from afar... don't make me laugh.]] There's only one truth here! [[spoiler:You, my own parents]] -- '''''YOU ABANDONED US!!!'''''
40** In ''[[Manga/CodeGeassNightmareOfNunnally Nightmare of Nunnally]]'', after Mao claims to be saving people by allowing them to die happily with her "The Refrain" Geass, and wants to take control of Nemo from Nunnally in order to prevent herself from being consumed by C.C.'s cells. Alice responds "I have no idea what you're talking about. From my point of view, you're nothing more than a murderer who tried to take Nunnally's life."
41* During the final battle in ''Anime/DancougarNova'', [[spoiler:the BigBad Moon Will seemingly has Aoi at his mercy, and is explaining that, having acknowledged humans as a dangerous species, he has decided to wipe them out for the good of all and for maintaining the balance of the universe. Despite having taken grievous injuries earlier in the episode, Aoi stands up again and boldly challenges the evil computer. "So what? You think we're gonna keel over and die just because you said so?". And then she literally [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punches out]] the godlike computer, killing him on the spot.]]
42* ''Manga/DeathNote'': When Light Yagami delivers his MotiveRant at the end of the anime about how his actions have reduced the crime rate and stopped all wars, how does Near respond?
43-->[[spoiler:'''Near:''' No. You're just a murderer, Light Yagami. And this notebook is the deadliest weapon in the history of mankind. If you had been a normal person and had used this notebook once out of curiosity, you would have been surprised and scared of what had happened, regretted what you had done, and never used this notebook again. To speak of extremes, I can actually understand those who would use this notebook for their personal interests and kill a couple of people, and even think that they're normal. But you yielded to the power of the notebook and the Shinigami and have confused yourself with a god. In the end, you're nothing more than a crazy serial killer. That's all you are. Nothing more and nothing less.]]
44** In the same episode, shortly afterwards, when [[spoiler: Light tries to quickly write down names with his hidden scrap of paper,]] Matsuda's response was to [[spoiler: ''[[TalkToTheFist shoot Light five times]]''. It becomes heartbreaking when you remember that Matsuda was the only person on the task force who could understand Kira's thinking on an empathetic level, not to mention that he thought of Light as a friend and never once doubted him.]] In retrospect, it probably was a bad idea for [[spoiler:Light to refer to his late father Soichirou, who was Matsuda's mentor and father figure, as a fool. [[BreakTheCutie Matsuda never once lost his smile and sense of humor during all those hard years, and he's reduced to murderous rage and inconsolable grief as his reward.]]]]
45--->[[spoiler:'''Matsuda:''' You led your own father to his death...and now he's gone, '''YOU CALL HIM A FOOL?!''']]
46* ''Manga/DGrayMan'': Cross has a rather hilarious and extremely awesome ShutUpHannibal moment, [[http://www.mangareader.net/210-15247-5/dgray-man/chapter-156.html here]].
47** Chapter 193; paraphrased:
48---> [[spoiler: '''Alma''': This torment will never end, and I want us to die together as friends.]]\
49[[spoiler:'''Kanda''': Sorry, Alma. You may be my only friend, but I want to live! * SLICE-SLICE-SLICE* ]]
50** Also Chapter 204 (complete with a genuine SlasherSmile delivered by ''Allen'' himself:
51--->[[spoiler: '''Allen''': I'm Cross Marian's pupil. It makes me wanna puke, the very thought of uniting with you!!!]]
52* In ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', [[spoiler:the D-Reaper ]] has built itself up into an EldritchAbomination hell-bent on wiping out humanity on the grounds that HumansAreTheRealMonsters. It has been swatting down every attempt to stop or even harm it with minimal effort, [[MindRape mind-raping]] [[spoiler: Juri]] for some time, and, in an incredible TearJerker, has struck down [[spoiler:Beelzemon]] after he went all-out in an attempt to [[TheAtoner rescue her]]. Takato and Guilmon, fused into Gallantmon, are one of the last lines of defense keeping the thing contained and holding it off from annihilating humanity while the other heroes try a last-ditch plan to stop it. [[spoiler:The D-Reaper]] howls at them '''"YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO EXIST!"'''. Stuck in the void, Guilmon asks his partner whether they do or not, to which Takato replies that they do "AND IT'S ABOUT TIME WE PROVED IT!" after which Gallantmon responds to the BreakThemByTalking by ''ramming his fist into an area roughly equivalent to [[spoiler:the D-reaper]]'s throat'' and yelling back ''"WE DO DESERVE TO EXIST! YOU DON'T."''
53* ''Anime/DokiDokiPreCure'' does this with style. Bel's captured the Precure and trapped them in another dimension without their fairy partners. He confronts them and delivers a BreakThemByTalking speech followed by an EvilLaugh... until Mana returns it with a ''mocking EvilLaugh'', then throwing it right back at him, telling him that they're gonna get out one way or another.
54** It's not actually uncommon in ''Anime/PrettyCure'' that the Cures do this, but there are examples where reformed villains do this.
55*** ''Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure'' has Shut, [[spoiler: who undergoes his HeelFaceTurn, saving the Cures from Close and when he angrily ask what he's doing, Shut in response tells him to shut up and [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punches him in the face]]]].
56*** Another happens in [[Anime/MahoGirlsPreCure Maho Tsukai Pretty Cure]] when Orba mocks dark magic (and so the Dark Magicians), [[spoiler: Batty tells him that he can't decide what to do with their lives, right before his Yokubaru defeat Orba's Donyokubaru]].
57** A fantastic Cure example happens in ''Anime/HealinGoodPrettyCure'' in Episode 14. When Batetemoda orders his Megabyogen to continue infecting the city, Grace's response is to ''dropkick'' him in the face.
58* Happens in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' when Goku hits Jeice/Jeese right in the face just before he launches into his taunting speech.
59-->'''Goku''': I saw an opening that seemed to scream out, "attack"! So... I did.
60** After Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan, Frieza argues that the Saiyans were just as brutal as he is (completely ignoring that Goku is nothing like the rest of his species). Goku points out that whatever crimes the Saiyans may have been guilty of, they paid for them and then some when Frieza personally committed genocide against them. He then starts beating Frieza to a pulp.
61** Future Trunks and his CurbStompBattle with Frieza and his father, King Cold. He had the latter ''begging him for mercy'' when he did this.
62** Piccolo also delivered a rather glorious one to Babidi, after the former was responsible for Gohan's (apparent) death at the hands of Majin Buu and was gloating about it to Piccolo. [[PapaWolf Big mistake.]]
63* ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'': In the Future Trunks Saga, [[ArcVillain Zamasu]] spends most of his confrontations with the Z-Fighters going off on EvilGloating sessions and AGodAmI rants. This leads to several of these moments from the heroes:
64** After listening to [[spoiler:Future Zamasu's]] MotiveRant about why he wants to kill humans and the Saiyans in particular, Future Trunks tells him that he has no right to decide that before beating him up and firing a [[spoiler:Final Flash]] at him.
65** Later, [[spoiler:Goku Black and Future Zamasu accuses Future Trunks of everything that has happened. Since he saved Goku from the heart virus instead of letting him die naturally, it allowed Zamasu to take over Goku's body and began his plan to wipe out humanity. According to them, all the bad stuff that has happened is because he broke the taboo of time-travel, which only the gods are allowed to do. Trunks basically tells them to shut up and he doesn't care if it's a sin, just as he transforms into a new form of Super Saiyan.]]
66** Both Future Trunks and Mai get one on [[spoiler: Future Zamasu]] after trapping him in the [[spoiler: Evil Containment Wave]].
67--->'''Trunks:''' I said you'd pay [[spoiler:Zamasu]]! And now you've been introduced to the true power of mortals!\
68'''[[spoiler:Future Zamasu]]:''' The power of mortals!? Is that a joke!? I'll show you what happens when worthless beings speak down to a god!\
69'''Mai:''' How can we be worthless if we've got you trapped!? You have no idea what we can accomplish!\
70'''Trunks:''' That's right! [[HumansAreSpecial You underestimate mortals, you pay the price!]]\
71'''Trunks/Mai:''' So say goodbye!!
72** Subsequently, [[spoiler:Goku Black and Future Zamasu fuse]], and Goku and Vegeta form Vegito to even the odds. [[spoiler: Merged]] Zamasu begins yet another speech, declaring that mortals always copy gods and that [[MoralMyopia something done by the gods is good and beautiful, but when done by mortals it's evil and ugly]]. Almost immediately, Vegito punches him out and kicks him aside, telling him point-blank that he's sick of listening to his speeches.
73--->'''Vegito''': Sorry to be rude, but you left yourself completely open. [[BringIt Now come on and give me your best shot]]; I'm tired of listening to you preach. [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu If you want me bowed at your feet, you'll have to do it by force.]]
74** After [[spoiler:running Merged Zamasu through with his spirit sword]], he asked if Trunks was really going to stand in the way of justice. Trunks responses by [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe slicing him in two]] [[GroinAttack from the crotch up]]:
75---> '''Trunks:''' I don't give a ''damn'' about you! ''OR YOUR SO-CALLED JUSTICE!!''
76* ''Manga/DragonQuestTheAdventureOfDai'':
77** In Chapter 108, Dai does it in his decisive battle against Dragon Army Captain Baran, [[spoiler:who also happened to be his father and the original Dragon Knight]] as he unleashes all his power:
78--->'''Baran:''' '''ALLOW ME TO DEMONSTRATE THIS BODY'S FULL POTENTIAL! ONCE THIS CREST IS FULLY RELEASED, I'LL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE EVEN MOUNTAINS CRUMBLE!'''\
79'''Dai:''' ... so what's your point? I can fight seriously, too.
80** Zaboera gets this treatment more than once throughout the series, but it's always well-deserved due to him being a DirtyCoward SmugSnake [[HateSink with NO redeemable qualities whatsoever]].
81*** When he talks to Hyunkel while Hyunkel, still one of the Demon Army generals at the time, has Maam imprisoned, he suggests using his spell-work to make Maam Hyunkel's own SexSlave. Hyunkel promptly chokes him, slams him to the wall behind him, and tells him that either he leaves at once or becomes among the corpses in his army. Zaboera is forced into agreeing with him to save his own life, but not before trying to fearmonger Hyunkel one last time.
82---->'''Zaboera''': How dare you! You'll regret this! Crocodine didn't listen to what I said earlier, that's why he lost!\
83'''Hyunkel''': No... he lost because of your useless advice!
84*** Late in the series, when Vearn summons Myst-Vearn to return to Vearn Palace to fend off Avan's disciples, Zaboera attempts to leech off Myst-Vearn by suggesting he should return with him instead of being left to handle the rest of the human forces and their allies alone, but Myst-Vearn quickly rebuffs him.
85---->'''Zaboera''': Myst-Vearn! You're not being fair at all! We used to be in the same rank, and fought together as one of the six captains! And you're just gonna abandon one of your comrades?! Huh?!\
86'''Myst-Vearn''': Feh... a "comrade"? You're spewing out those meaningless words now. But, Zaboera, if we've been such long-time "comrades"... then you know my answer in a situation like this...\
87'''Zaboera''': (feebly, after a moment of OhCrap realization) "[[MeaningfulEcho The Demon Lord's wishes are the only priority]]"...\
88'''Myst-Vearn''': Exactly! Those words supersede everything!
89*** When Crocodine corners him as he attempts to crawl away, having expended all of his magic power, he makes a long speech in [[VillainsWantMercy an attempt to get Crocodine to agree for a handshake of truce]], [[ISurrenderSuckers all with the intention being to graze and kill Crocodine with the poisons in his finger nails]]. Unfortunately for him, Crocodine sees through his ruse, withdraws his hand before Zaboera can touch it with his, and lowers the handle of his axe on Zaboera's arms to make sure he can't cause any more trickery with his hands.
90---->'''Zaboera''': Y-You bastard! Y-You were faking it!\
91'''Crocodine''': Zaboera... I may not be as smart as you, but I've learned at least one thing in my time... there are certain things that don't change... no matter what![[note]] This also doubles as a PremortemOneLiner, as he proceeds to kill Zaboera with his ultimate attack, [[NoBodyLeftBehind disintegrating his body as the result]].[[/note]]
92** The last example of this trope plays out to heartwarming effect. Earlier on during Dai's final confrontation with [[BigBad Vearn]] late in the story, Vearn makes one more attempt to [[WeCanRuleTogether convince Dai to join his side]], by arguing in a long HannibalLecture that [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer the same humans who look up to Dai when they're in need of help won't accept him once the dust settles due to his unnaturally strong powers as a Dragon Knight]], only for Dai to rebuff him.
93--->'''Vearn''': [[HumansAreBastards Humans are repulsive]], Dai. They do not deserve your loyalty and service. You might fight for them... and you might win... [[AndThenWhat but then what...?]] Put trust in my words when I say... if you defeat me and return to them, they will reject you! That is the true nature of humanity. They will cry and beg and wholeheartedly put their faith in you. However, they will do so only while they are suffering. Once they know peace, they will begin to question your motives and assert their will onto you. They will drive you out of their place as their hero. They might thank you after your victory, but they will not allow anyone who is not a pure human to be the head of their race! ''That'' is what the humans are!\
94'''Leona''': You're wrong! We will never do something like that!\
95'''Vearn''': (to Leona) You are an exception because you harbor feelings of love for Dai. Nothing more than that. One human's personal emotion cannot override the national sentiment. As a public official, you should know better than that. However, I am different! I do not discriminate by race, and I respect all who are strong. (to Dai) Now what will you say, Dai? Will you risk your life for those who would abuse your victory? Or will you work for the one who would accept you unconditionally and can truly appreciate what you are worth? Even though you are a child, I hope you can grasp the full scope of my words. What will you do, Dai?\
96'''Dai''': My answer is... "NO"!\
97'''Vearn''': You are a child, after all. You are still clinging to the illusion of a hero...\
98'''Dai''': No! I know that humans can do awful things sometimes. I am fully aware of that. And I know you're not lying just to convince me. But that's OK! I still... I still like humans! I like all the beings on this planet that have raised me to what I am today! If what you said was really true... that the people on this planet don't want me here... then... I... will defeat you... and then disappear!
99* Done in a non-verbal way in ''Manga/{{Drifters}}''. When the Black King's army proceeds invade Orte's captial, Rasputin takes the time to taunt Toyohisa by mocking his decision to spare [[PyroManiac Joan]]. Toyohisa, however, ignores him and proceeds to stomp the living hell out of the man he took control over, rendering him speechless. Nobunaga mocks him to add salt to the wound.
100* In ''Manga/FairyTail'':
101** Natsu gives one to Jellal by punching him after he mocked [[spoiler:Simon]]'s HeroicSacrifice.
102** Jellal starts boasting that Natsu cannot possibly defeat him, and soon the Tower of Heaven will activate. Natsu responds by punching the tower and shattering it.
103** Brain grabs a weakened Natsu and boasts that he will turn him into his servant, then Natsu bites his arm.
104** When Yuka of the Wave starts bragging about how he's a former member of Lamia Scale, Natsu attacks him. Yuka dodges and incredulously asks why he interrupted his speech. Natsu says he doesn't care about where he's from, Yuka's hurting people so he's going to stop him.
105** Erza Knightwalker justifies murdering countless people just to get magic by explaining that everything needs magic, and her world will die without it. Erza Scarlet dismantles Knightwalker's argument by [[spoiler: pointing out that in their battle, they've both used up so much magic that they've both been BroughtDownToNormal, and they are still alive]].
106** And later Gray gives one to [[spoiler:Ultear by punching her in the middle of her speech]].
107* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': How does Shiro respond to the end of the BigBad Kotomine's long MotiveRant? "Oh I get it now, you're just insane." At first Shiro thought he might have some weird reason for the terrible things he did to all those people, but in the end it was just him explaining through a convoluted, wordy speech that he likes to see people suffer.
108* ''Manga/FoodWars'': At the final bout of the ''Regiment de Cuisine'', Azami Nakiri suffers a VillainousBreakdown when he refuses to acknowledge that the menu made by Soma and Erina is superior to the one made by Eishi and Rindo, going on a MotiveRant about how the culinary world is cruel and caused his idol Joichiro Saiba (Soma's father) to hit a breakdown due to pressure, and how he intented to remake it so chefs could be happy. Soma then tells him "Stop trying to decide people's happiness", adding that Joichiro had long moved on from that stage of his life.
109* In Chapter 46 of ''Manga/{{Freezing}}'', Kazuya delivers one to [[spoiler: Louise for claiming his sister was his personal property.]]
110* In ''Manga/FruitsBasket'', Tohru's stuck-up relatives get ''two'' of these for slutshaming Tohru after they find out she was living with Shigure, Yuki, and Kyo. First the grandfather slaps a male cousin when he and others call Tohru a whore, and then Yuki and Kyo arrive and Yuki hears said cousin refer to them as "the guys the little tramp was shacking up with", Yuki gets right in the cousin's face and stuns both him and his equally jerkish parents speechless with a single sentence [[TranquilFury without even raising his voice]]:
111-->'''Yuki''': Don't you ''ever'' talk about Miss Honda that way again, you ''lowlife''.
112* Envy of ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' keeps trying to lecture Mustang, but...
113-->'''Envy:''' Pathetic? Lemme ask you something. Don't you humans enjoy watching others suffer, watching fools dance around like puppets? That's why you start wars isn't it?\
114'''Mustang:''' I do [[TheAce enjoy]] watching foolish creatures dance around like puppets on a string. Especially you homunculii.\
115''[later]''\
116'''Envy:''' Oh! So you [[FakingTheDead torched]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext an innocent]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome woman]] then? Man, that's brutal! How'd you break it to her family? Were you in tears? Or were you too angry with yourself to even--\
117'''Mustang:''' For the love of God, shut up, [[YouFool idiot]].
118** And Mustang keeps on shutting him up all through the battle with him while kicking his ass.
119*** Mustang had two crowning moments when it came to this trope. The first was when he incinerated Envy's tongue ''mid-speech'' and the second was when Envy tried to go OneWingedAngel and, as Envy mockingly claimed he couldn't hold back, Mustang ''[[EyeScream incinerated his eyes]].''
120** And the one who put nail on his coffin? ''Ed'', of all people, by giving a [[KirkSummation talk]] about Envy's motive.
121** A little later on, as Ed fights [[SmugSnake Pride]], the latter breaks out into a rant about how Ed isn't prepared to fight an enemy who's shorter than him. Ed's response? After pointing out that Ed knows how short people fight, he ''headbutts'' Pride and proceeds to {{curb stomp|Battle}} him.
122** When Edward confronts Shou Tucker over his use of his wife and daughter as subjects in his experiments, Tucker says Edward is just like him, because Edward used alchemy to try to bring his mother back. Edward proceeds to beat Tucker repeatedly while upset and screaming "I'M NOT LIKE YOU! I'M NOT! I'M NOT!" Despite this Tucker looks like he's about to push Ed further after Al holds him back, until Al says "Mr. Tucker, if you don't shut up, ''I'll'' be the one beating you." Given that Al is a hulking suit of armor, this makes Tucker be silent.
123** When they first fight Scar notes that both he and Edward use their arms for destruction. Edward answers "Don't you start! We're nothing alike!"
124* The ever-[[TheStoic stoic]] Sousuke Sagara does this in reverse order in the first season of ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'': he first hands the villain's ass right back to him and then proceeds to use some... [[PrecisionFStrike uncharacteristically strong language]] to tell the world what he thinks of him and his views.
125* ''VideoGame/GateKeepers'':
126** After BigBad Kageyama makes his big speech about humanity being full of maggots and what has to be done to properly cleanse the world, Ukiya skips past his use of "sophisticated arguments" and says he's going overboard. This actually seems to throw him a little off-balance. Then the end of the episode happens. [[spoiler:Kageyama personally meets with Megumi, who sees through the rhetoric and denounces his claims as the words of a big, fat liar... then sticks around to finalize her FaceHeelTurn anyway.]]
127** Used again in the last episode, with more of an outright "shut up" feel. Kageyama sets a new personal record for nihilism with a rant about how all of humanity's hopes for peace never had a chance, to which Ukiya responds, "''Is that all you have to say?!''" while throwing a monster of a roundhouse punch. Then the punch misses...
128* ''Manga/TheGeekExHitman'': The final chapter sees ex-mafia hitman Marco confronted by his former boss trying to force him to return to his old business.
129-->'''[[NoNameGiven The Don]]:''' How can you even think to cut ties with us for the sake of such childish amusement!? You've got one choice in life, and that's to walk the shadows with us! You're the same as us! That's just who you are!\
130'''Marco:''' Who I am? I'm going to live my life enjoying what I love, and die with a smile on my face. If you envy me for that, then just be like me.
131* ''Anime/GhostSweeperMikami'''s Ashtaroth has been scheming [[spoiler:not only to conquer the cosmos and eradicate the gods, but [[OmnicidalManiac reset ''everything'' and rebuild it according to his much-preferable will]].]] Mikami found that out while in the galaxy egg. As a result, she's able to Shut Up Hannibal him just ''before'' his MotiveRant.
132-->'''Mikami:''' You're no different from an immature child who hates school and thus decides to burn down his school!
133* ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'', Bansai made TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Gintoki fighting when he already failed to protect the samurai country and that there is no longer anything for him to protect. Gintoki's response when he had Bansai trapped in his own strings:
134-->'''Gintoki:''' Clean out your ears and listen up! I've never once fought for the sake of this cheap country. I couldn't care less if the country or the samurai fell. I have always... Then and now... ! [[TrueCompanions What I protect]]... has never changed! *[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome sends Bansai crashing into the ground]]*
135* ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'' cares not for your FreudianExcuse, even if a genuinely horrible thing happened in your past. His answer, if not TalkToTheFist, is usually something along the lines of: "So what? Then make your life not suck from now on, you idiot!"
136* ''Anime/HeartCatchPrettyCure'': Cure Marine delivers a good one to [[TheBrute Kumojacky]]. "Let me have some fun! Cure Marine!" *gets punched*
137* In ''Manga/HeavensLostProperty'', when the Master of Synapse orders Astraea to kill Ikaros, gloating that she is nothing but an [[RobotGirl Angeloid]] and must obey, Astraea screams, "SHUT UP!" and ''breaks the chain allowing him to control her with her bare hands''. When Chaos gives her usual "WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove" speech, Astraea answers, "I ''don't'' know what love is! I'm [[TheDitz stupid]]!" and proceeds to kick some ass. Later, when Ikaros is about to throw Chaos into the sea, Chaos [[ShapeShifterGuiltTrip turns into Tomoki and begs her to stop]]. Ikaros replies that Tomoki is an excellent swimmer and thus would not be worried.
138* In the second OVA of ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' , Jan Valentine has spent an hour of screentime basically massacring people and insulting the survivors, insulting the Roundtable Conference in general and Integra in particular over the radio. At the end of the episode, Jan has finally been cornered, when Integra walks up, leading to this classic exchange:
139-->'''Jan:''' What up, bitch!\
140''[gunshot]''\
141'''Integra:''' That's quite enough of that. I'm ''pissed off''.
142** While that's going on, Alucard has just [[CurbStompBattle stomped]] Jan's brother Luke, and is [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech berating him over how weak and pathetic he is]], prompting Luke to angrily shout him down, and try to tell Alucard why ''he'' sucks. It doesn't go well.
143--->'''Luke:''' Shut up! You're just the Hellsing family's toy, a dog not even fit to call himself a vampire, a-
144--->'''Alucard:''' '''[[ShutUpHannibal SILENCE!]]''' I'm a dog? [[ImAHumanitarian Then you're dog food.]]
145* In ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'', the villain [[spoiler: (Miyo Takano)]] might have had a gun pointed at Rena as [[spoiler:she explained to her about how she's going to kill the entire village and become "God"]] but that didn't stop Rena from [[spoiler:[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome laughing at her]] and replying "No, you can't become God, because GOD EXISTS!"]].
146* In ''Manga/HoshinEngi'', this was done rather brilliantly by Taikobo (when he [[spoiler:changed back to being Fukki]]) after his fight with Joka. Joka started giving him the [[BreakThemByTalking the breaking speech]] about how [[spoiler:the reason he revealed to the humans that they were being manipulated by her wasn't because he didn't like the idea of her being in power -- it was because he wanted them to have "free will"]], and his response? "No. You're wrong idiot, die." It doesn't get more blunt than that.
147* ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'':
148** At the end, BigBad Naraku explains how [[spoiler: his crumbling body is over Kaede's village, and if they cut him down, he will fall onto the village destroying it]]. Sesshoumaru's response? He charges right up to Naraku, says "So what?" then proceeds to go straight through him with his sword [[spoiler: Bakusaiga, causing the entire body to start falling towards the ground]]. That is pure freaking ownage.
149** Kagome deals one to [[CreepyChild Akago]] (the infamous demon baby) that's combined with an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove to Inuyasha. Suits well, since Akago's recent {{Breaking Lecture}}s were centered on how her feelings for Inuyasha would never be reciprocated, how she only was second to [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Kikyou]] in Inuyasha's mind according to Akago himself, etc. And then, Kagome gathers her act and tell him: "Yes, maybe I am. Maybe I'm jealous of Kikyou, and I know Inuyasha will never forget her. But you know, jealousy is just an emotion, and even when I'm jealous... I still love Inuyasha, and my feelings for him are not YOUR business! SO SHUT UP!" Definitely a huge SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.
150* ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood'': When Dio tries to use his [[AbusiveParents abusive father]] as an excuse for his actions after being exposed for poisoning George Joestar, Speedwagon steps in and [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse completely tears his argument apart]], declaring that he can smell Dio's malice and that he [[EnfantTerrible was]] ''[[EnfantTerrible born]]'' [[EnfantTerrible evil]]. Notably, [[ImStandingRightHere upon hearing this]], Dio actually ''[[CardCarryingVillain agrees]]'' [[CardCarryingVillain with Speedwagon's assessment and fully embraces being evil, no longer trying to justify himself]].
151-->'''Speedwagon:''' This fellow reeks of brimstone and blood worse than anyone I've ever laid eyes on! He is ''pure evil'', right down to his very bones! Is he a victim of circumstance, you're wondering? Not on your life! He's been evil since he drew his first breath!
152* In the final episode of ''Anime/KillLaKill'', GreaterScopeVillain Ragyo rants about the life cycle of the universe and the role the life fibers have in that cycle, and Ryuko, who at this point is sick of listening to Ragyo try to justify anything, screams "''When are you going to just SHUT THE HELL UP?!''"
153* ''Manga/TheKindaichiCaseFiles'' is a tad more sympathetic towards a MotiveRant (unless the suspect was a JerkAss), but Kindaichi's response to many a subsequent suicide attempt has been pretty blunt.
154* The first major climax in ''Manga/KotouraSan'' involves Manabe confronting Moritani over the abuse that Moritani organized against Kotoura (which included [[PokeInTheThirdEye thinking such vile things that it nearly overwhelmed Kotoura's telepathy]] and [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer organizing a rumor campaign to ostracize Kotoura]]). Moritani tries to deflect or outright deny her involvement, but Manabe just shuts her down as succinctly as possible, ending with him yelling [[LoveConfession "Because I like her! You got a problem with that?"]]
155* ''Literature/LegendOfTheGalacticHeroes'' has a quite a number of them.
156** In one the of earliest ones, Flegel telling his men to die in moral combat with him in a losing war against Reinhard, believing he is entitled to it, just like he is at hurting whoever he pleases. His aide Schumacher stands up to him, stating that his EntitledBastard personality is exactly why he always loses and should die honorably by himself rather than drag others with him. This is then topped off with the crew gunning down Flegel and fleeing the pointless war.
157** The more notable one is when Reuenthal does it to [[spoiler:Trunicht]]. He is fine with him berating democracy and shamelessly expressing himself as a flat-out opportunist who is only in anything for himself. It is when [[spoiler:he slanders Reinhard in front of Reuethnal that he gives this response, followed by the shot in the chest]].
158* During the final showdown with Dr. Scaglietti in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'', Fate is overwhelmed by his BreakThemByTalking (and a couple of painful [[TheReveal reveals]]). Then her adopted kids [[YouAreNotAlone interfere and tell her just how awesome she actually is]]. Her next action? Take down the Doctor's superpowered bodyguards, smash the Doctor himself into a wall, and calmly declare "You are under arrest".
159* ''Manga/MakenKi'' [[{{Inverted}} inverts it]] by having the protagonist be on the receiving end. Takeru firmly believes that women shouldn't fight and rants to that effect whenever he thinks a girl's being "bullied". And remains adamant about it, even though the girls he's worrying about ''[[MoreDeadlyThanTheMale are stronger than he is.]]'' But when he makes the mistake of saying it in front of [[AnimeChineseGirl Yan-Min]], during her battle with Azuki, she shuts him up [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/17/14/ grabbing him by the throat]] and [[http://readpanda.net/Maken-ki/17/15/ nearly strangling him to death]]:
160-->'''Yan-Min:''' ''[indignant]'' Girls? I've heard about this, but it's worse than the rumors ne. You should make your misunderstandings average as well, Oyama Takeru!\
161'''Takeru:''' ''[choking]'' I'm... just.. GHAAH!!\
162'''Yan-Min:''' It doesn't matter who it is. The ones on the battlefield fight, risking their lives for many different reasons: [[TrueCompanions Azuki does it for her friends.]] [[PatrioticFervor I do it for where I am]] [[DontYouDarePityMe and for my pride.]] You, who insult by saying [[StayInTheKitchen "such things".]] '''[[ThisIsUnforgivable I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!!]]'''
163* ''Anime/MazingerZ'' Kouji Kabuto is a HotBlooded, impulsive hero is more liable to punch the villain than explain to him why he or she sucks, but he got some good throughout the years.
164** In the original manga:
165--->'''Count Brocken:''' Damn you! How dare the righteous protagonist do something so dirty! You sure about this? The fans will cry, you know.\
166'''Kouji:''' Shut up! Take it like a man! Don't try to play innocent with me!
167** In ''Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}'', after BigBad Dr. Hell tried talking him into joining him:
168--->'''Kouji:''' Are you stupid? I would never join you!
169** In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsCompact'':
170--->'''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Scirocco]]:''' By averting that ColonyDrop, you wasted a good chance of getting rid of all those fools [[TheSocialDarwinist whose souls are bound by gravity]].\
171'''Kouji:''' Oh, don't give us that crap! We won't let you even touch the Earth we live in!
172** ''In VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha'' 2
173--->'''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Char Aznable]]:''' But, if things continue this way, people's hatred will consume the very Earth itself. That's why I'm cutting through to the source of the problem.\
174'''Kouji''': Don't feed me that crap!! I've been [[BreakingSpeech listening to this from the start]] and all you've done is giving a bunch of complicated justifications!!
175* In ''Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'', TheDragon is explaining to the heroines how their defeat will help her gaining rank among the BigBad servants. The heroines end yelling in perfect synchronization how much they don't care about her life.
176* In ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'', Heero does this to both the BigBad of the TV series ([[spoiler:Zechs Merquise]]) and TheDragon in ''[[TheMovie Endless Waltz]]'' ([[spoiler:Chang Wu Fei]]). In both cases, his opponent is arguing that humans are bastards and[=/=]or sheep who need to be guided down the right path, while Heero argues that all humans, including himself and his opponent, are just as weak, and that they need to have faith that people will be able to make a worthy future on their own. In particular, he gets a suitably epic line in ''EW'':
177--->''"Even if the world goes mad, I can fight on by believing in myself!"''
178** Treize meanwhile gets one of the most effective and hilarious examples in history. During his final climactic battle, Wufei rhetorically asks how many people have died for Treize's version of justice. Treize responds with an exact number. He then indicates that he knows the names and faces of everyone ever killed for his dreams.
179** ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'' Garrod Ran absolutely excels at this trope, in fact this is his most common response to a MotiveRant.
180** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'' returns to [[ContemplateOurNavels long speeches]]; Setsuna makes ''three'' in the Season 1 finale. And in the second season, [[spoiler:when Bring Stability tells his fellow Innovator Tieria Erde that he can't kill him in battle because they're both Innovators, Tieria screams "I'M A HUMAN!" and kills him.]]
181** ''Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam'' even gets in on it, having Tobia Arronax deliver the following rebuttal to TheSocialDarwinist Karas:
182--->'''Tobia:''' That... is... BULLSHIT! I'm not letting you kill '''anyone else!''' ''[proceeds to destroy Karas' entire Newtype squad]''
183* ''Manga/{{Monster}}'': Lunge's response to [[spoiler:Roberto's speech about Johan's plan is to shove his gun right into Roberto's mouth]].
184* In ''Manga/MuhyoAndRoji'', as Teeki, confident in having won after Julio puts the heroes under a curse that will kill them if they move, goes on about how people [[YouCantFightFate are unable to go against their fate]] and how Enchu learned that for himself when his mother died. Roji declares that it is a lie, states that Enchu couldn't bear his grief, and then dispels the curse.
185* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'': When BigBad [[spoiler:All For One]] starts a disingenuous tirade about how the Symbol of Peace undid ruined everything he was trying to cultivate and took down his comrades (whom he saw as only means to his end, by the way), All Might has none of it.
186--> "Shut up! That's what you do. You toy with people's very lives! You break them! You steal from them! You take advantage and manipulate them! You sneer at them, when they're just trying to live everyday lives! And for that, '''I can't forgive you!!!'''"
187* In ''Anime/MyHime'', there are a few.
188** In the anime, Nao justifies her use of her powers to hunt perverts by saying that they can do what they want with them. Natsuki agrees, but then draws her Element and says it is also her right to dislike how Nao uses her power.
189** In the manga, after the BigBad, the Obsidian Lord (a.k.a. [[spoiler:Mai's brother Takumi]]), gives a MotiveRant about how the world does not deserve to exist as it is, Yuuichi tells him that he shouldn't [[spoiler:make his sister cry]].
190* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': Neji gets two of these after his rants about fate and destiny. One from Hinata, and another from Naruto.
191** Also, after Kabuto gives Naruto a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and tries to kill him Naruto's response is to tell him that he refuses to die until he becomes Hokage and drives a Rasengan into Kabuto's stomach.
192** Chapter 495 has the ShutUpHannibal to beat almost everything else: [[spoiler:what Naruto's autograph would have looked like, reading "No. 1 Hokage Candidate: Naruto" and said he has faith in himself the man who his village has faith in which defeated Naruto's EvilTwin (actually, his manifested hatred) who reminded Naruto how horribly the village treated them and maintained he was the only one who could understand good!Naruto.]]
193** Naruto gave two of these to Pain right at the beginning of their fight: "I already told you, SHUT THE HELL UP!" [[spoiler: He then proceeds to '' throw'' [[TookALevelInBadass a Rasen-Shuriken]] at the group.]]
194*** The titular character is practically this trope personified. If any villain tries a BreakThemByTalking odds are his response will be to attempt to hit them with something that will hurt.
195** Kin gives a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Sakura as she's keeping her restrained by the hair. "My my, what soft and shiny hair. But you know what? If you spent a little less time shampooing, and a little more time practicing your jutsu, you might not be in this fix! Hey Zaku, I know what would be fun. Let's make Ms. Beauty Queen watch while you finish off that Sasuke guy!" Sakura's ShutUpHannibal moment shortly thereafter, where she cuts her own hair off to free herself, is thereby made much more awesome.
196** Chapter 538: [[spoiler:It's revealed that the Nine-Tails has almost gotten its full form back from feeding from Naruto's chakra and begins BreakThemByTalking to show how gullible and foolish Naruto is becoming about the War and Sasuke. However, Naruto retaliates, after the flashback he asks "Are you done yet?" walks right into the seal and slams Nine-Tails down by the Torii so they could talk face to face. He then tells the fox that ''he's'' the fool, and that he'd find something to do about the war and Sasuke.]]
197** Chapter 576: After multiple pages of [[spoiler:Madara insulting her skills as a Senju, medic-nin, and kunoichi, Tsunade gives him a ShutUpHannibal by telling him that even if she can't use the Wood Release or heal herself without medical ninjutsu, if he thinks she's just a weak kunoichi, he's got another thing coming.]]
198** Chapter 577: [[spoiler:Madara gets another ShutUpHannibal from [[LadyOfWar Tsunade]]. She smashes through his [[PowerArmor Susanoo]] on her own and Onoki and A hit the other side. Even Madara said her SuperStrength is greater than A's.]]
199** In Chapter 581 [[spoiler:Kabuto says he and Sasuke are not so different because they both wish for the destruction of the Leaf Village and says that he should join him. In response, Sasuke says he's doing it for himself alone. When Kabuto tries a sympathetic angle about his life as a spy discarded by Konoha, Itachi points out all that means is that Kabuto's a superb liar]].
200** Kakashi finally gave one of these to [[spoiler:Obito, by saying that the only thing worse than abandoning your comrades is ignoring their feelings, something Obito seems to excel at: the girl he loved died to prevent a bijuu getting unleashed on Konoha. What does Obito do for revenge? He unleashes a bijuu on Konoha. Jeez, well done Obito]]
201** Naruto gives [[spoiler:Obito another one. After giving Minato and (the Hokage in general) a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. First, Naruto tells him to shut up because he didn't become a Hokage. Which is immediately followed by a little assist from Tobirama, Naruto then slams a Sage-powered Rasengan in Tobi's back]].
202** In Chapter 690, [[spoiler:after Kaguya is defeated, Zetsu calls Naruto just another part of the shinobi history that he created. Naruto then declares that "The shinobi history... was created by all the ninjas... how they lived... and how they died!! Don't you dare compare the likes of them to one snot-nosed brat who's too afraid to leave his mother's side!" before sealing Zetsu away]].
203* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' has Fate taunting Negi about his weakness, how he's unable to protect his friends, how his [[BlackMagic newly acquired powers]] won't help him at all, and how he'll never be powerful to put up a real fight... Negi's response is to sock Fate in the gut, and toss off a one-liner:
204-->'''Negi:''' Are you sure it's not you who needs to train a little harder?
205** [[spoiler:And Negi does it again in Chapter 272, calling Godel on his FantasticRacism and basically telling Godel that he's full of crap.]]
206*** And quite a while later, [[spoiler: it turns out the [=SUH=] has more or less worked, since Godel pulls a HeelFaceTurn and joins Negi's case.]]
207* In the ''Manga/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' manga version, the Angel Armisael attempts to defeat Rei by demotivating her. It speaks to Rei in a vision using her body and voice, telling her that her heart is evil and that she wants to keep Shinji for herself and hates the currently comatose Asuka for diverting Shinji's attention away. In Rei's form, Armisael goes to "be with Shinji", as is Rei's selfish desire (in this case, "being with him" would kill him.) But, after a moment of crying, Rei snaps out of it and reverses her Eva's AT field, pulling the screaming Rei-Armisael away from Shinji. Then, as a way of saying "You are not me and you do not control my heart!", Rei [[spoiler: self-destructs, taking Armisael with her.]]
208* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
209** This trope is Luffy's hat, besides the straw one. The BigBad of whatever arc will be ranting about how powerful he is, how Luffy is just one clueless pirate, etc., etc., and Luffy just won't care. He's going to kick ass, and no one can talk him out of it. Pretty famously when in response to Crocodile's list of reasons why he was fighting a losing battle, and being naive for trying to save everyone, Luffy subverts this trope slightly by agreeing with him. Having effectively shocked Hannibal into shutting up, he proceeds to beat the shit out of him while explaining that Vivi was his friend, and since if he didn't help she was gonna kill herself trying to save the country, he would try to render that unnecessary. This is actually lampshaded on Punk Hazard; Caesar Clown brags about how much protection his underworld connections brings, and that Luffy attacking him means becoming the enemy of those connections. Luffy just decks him and retorts that he's ''always'' fighting guys like that.
210** When the Straw Hats face the leader of a secret government agency. His attempt to intimidate them fails miserably; rather, Luffy declares [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu war on the entire world]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsP0ByjyU6A by destroying their flag in public]]; the threat that they are now marked for death is answered with a "Bring it on!" by Luffy:
211--->'''Spandam''': Look at that symbol, pirates!'' *points to the flag of the World Government* ''That mark represents the unity of over 170 nations! This is the world! Do you understand how insignificant you are to stand against us!!?
212--->'''Luffy''': I understand very well. Sogeking, shoot that flag.
213** Toward the climax of "3D2Y", the BigBad, Byrnndi World, tells Luffy that because he couldn't [[spoiler:[[MyGreatestFailure save his brother]]]], he has no hope of defeating him. Luffy declares that he won't lose to someone who [[WeHaveReserves sees his companions as tools]].
214** Doflamingo tells Trafalgar Law that he's nothing compared to his associate Vergo, since Vergo can take any of his attacks thanks to his [[InstantArmor Haki]]. Law then swings his sword once. Just once. That one swing bisects Vergo, the room that the two are in, the ''building that the two are in, and '''the mountain outside the building that the two are in and the surrounding landscape; in short, THE ENTIRE ISLAND!'''''
215** Doflamingo gets this ''twice'' during the Dressrosa arc, once from Law and once from Luffy.
216*** [[spoiler:He tries to guilt trip Law by stating that Dressrosa was the country his brother tried to save and that it was Law's fault it ended up under Doffy's rule -- only for Law to point out that even if the Marines had found out about his plans, Doffy would've found another way to take over this country. Doflamingo pauses, laughs, and agrees]].
217*** [[spoiler:He attempts guilt tripping ''again'', this time with Luffy, calling him a pain in the ass for disrupting the "peace" of Dressrosa, and how the citizens of the country will curse Luffy's name for it as they die by the Bird Cage. Luffy shuts him up by pointing out that the "peace" and "happiness" he ruined weren't real, and that Doflamingo's the ''real'' pain in the ass for hurting Law, making his friends cry, and enraging his nakama. So, he'll shoulder all the responsibility and let not a single person die by taking down Doflamingo here and now. Immediately followed by "Gear... FOURTH!"]].
218** In the Whole Cake Island arc, Luffy, face to face with Big Mom [[spoiler:as her prisoner]] hears her talk about how Lola, by running out on an ArrangedMarriage intended to ally herself with the giants, one that Big Mom believes would have given her enough power to destroy the rest of the Four Emperors and become Pirate King. Luffy isn't impressed, and mixes this with TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and BadassBoast.
219--->'''Luffy''': This is a stupid story, Big Mom! It was '''Lola''' who didn't get married, and it's '''you''' who failed to become king of the pirates! Here I am picking another fight with you! I'm not backing down just because you're one of the Four Emperors! I'm gonna take Sanji back... and at the end of the day... WE'RE GONNA WIN!
220** During the Onigashima Raid, King spends a lot of time dominating the fight with Zoro, until the latter figures out how King's [[NighInvulnerability nigh-invulnerable]] body works. [[NotSoStoic This gets to King]] to the point that he starts actively blocking Zoro's attacks instead of just tanking them, leaving Zoro to taunt him over this and take it as a sign that King is afraid of losing. King flips his shit and retorts that Zoro is [[UltimateLifeform biologically incapable of defeating him]]. Zoro responds that King is just making weak excuses at this point, before cutting through King's ultimate attack and defeating the All-Star.
221** At the end of Law and Kid's fight with Big Mom, as Kid prepares to finish her off with his strongest attack, Big Mom tells him to BringIt, reminding the super rookie of exactly who it is he's facing off. Kid's response is succinct:
222--->'''Big Mom:''' Bring it on, you little punk! [[UnderestimatingBadassery You think you can take me down]]?! ''I'm [[TheDreaded Big Mom]]!''\
223'''Kid:''' [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu That is]] ''[[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu exactly]]'' [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu why I'm taking you down]]! '''''[[{{BFG}} DAMNED PUNK!!!]]'''''
224* ''WebComic/OnePunchMan'': Quite a few of the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Mysterious Beings]] spend a fair bit of time declaring who they are, how they came to be, and why they do what they do. With a very few notable exceptions, Saitama responds by punching them... [[CurbStompBattle Once]]. Same goes for the less-glorious heroes, who Saitama feel are either boring (so he ignores them and walks away) or annoying (so he just yells at them to shut up and then walks away.) He has absolutely no motivation to listen to someone's MotiveRant.
225* ''Manga/PandoraHearts'':
226** In Chapter 8, the Will of the Abyss angrily demands to know why Oz cares about Alice and wants to save her, even though he doesn't really know her, and also demands that he love her [Will of the Abyss] instead. Oz laughs, says he doesn't know why he cares about Alice, he just does, and shoots Will of the Abyss in the head.
227** He does it again in Retrace 82 when [[spoiler:Jack is "reminding" him that everything he has is "fake". He tells Jack to cut it out, calling Alice back to the world at the same time.]]
228* ''Anime/Persona4TheAnimation'' has a brilliant one in the fight against Shadow Mitsuo. Earlier on, the villain had trapped protagonist Yu Narukami in a LotusEaterMachine, taunting him by saying that Yu is "empty" and that he has no true bonds of friendship with other people. Fortunately for Yu, his oldest friend on the team ''physically pulls him out'' of the illusion, and as the rest of the team creates an opening, Yu defiantly states "I... am ''not empty!''" before he systematically breaks down the Shadow's defenses and pulls a NoSell on each and every one of its attacks. Even better, he accomplishes this with each of the various Persona he had obtained so far, all of them being from a different arcana of the tarot representing a bond he had made with another person, then finishing the battle with Izanagi, his own Persona, proving that unlike the truly empty Mitsuo, he does have friends and they are the [[ThePowerOfFriendship source of his strength]].
229** Better still, in the final episode, Yu and his friends give [[spoiler:Adachi]] a collective TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, leaving [[spoiler:Adachi]] with little recourse than to [[VillainousBreakdown keep screaming "SHUT UP" while getting his ass soundly kicked]].
230* It happens in ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', too. Just before the big fight towards the end of the first movie, Mewtwo is giving his big MotiveRant about how he and his genetically engineered Pokémon are going to exterminate all other life on the planet. Up comes Ash Ketchum, with a horde of "normal" Pokémon and spitefully declares, "[[{{Determinator}} You can't do this.]] ''[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome I won't let you.]]''" He then tries to ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punch out Mewtwo]]''. [[spoiler: [[DidntThinkThisThrough It doesn't go too well]] for Ash, and he actually ''dies''. But the [[SwissArmyTears tears and love]] from the Pokémon he led against Mewtwo revive him, and ''Mewtwo'' himself has a change of heart]].
231** Another example of this trope happens during Episode 35 (never shown outside of Japan). While Team Rocket is in the middle of their motto, [[CharacterOfTheDay Kaiser]] starts [[TriggerHappy shooting at them repeatedly]] , leading to a {{Bullet Danc|ing}}e performed by the trio.
232** In one ''Diamond and Pearl'' episode, Paul cuts Team Rocket off mid-motto (to their outrage).
233** In the pilot of ''XY and Z'', [[spoiler: One of Team Flare's scientists attempts to talk down to Ash and his friends in regards to the Zygarde Core being theirs. To say Ash will have none of it would be putting it mildly]].
234** Done again in the GrandFinale of the Team Flare Crisis arc. [[spoiler: When Lysandre tries to justify his actions for the sake of his beautiful world, the combined might of Ash, Alain, the Kalos gym leaders and Zygarde Complete Form unleash their attacks with Lysandre left screaming incoherently as his megalith is rendered a lifeless husk and is obliterated.]]
235** In ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'', N says that he can't be beaten because he can hear the voices of Pokemon, and that the Pokedex is evil because many Pokemon were captured for the sake of its research. Black tells him to shut up, saying that the Pokedex is a tool to better understand the Pokemon he loves and that he's damn proud to own one. Not to mention that he declares that even if he can't hear his Pokemon's "voices", he still knows what they want.
236* Haru does this in ''Manga/RaveMaster'' when Lucia points out that, technically, they're both kings, and goes on to say they need no friends, only men with the mental capacity to kneel.
237%%* Reborn and Tsuna do this to Bermuda in ''Manga/Reborn2004''.
238* ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'': Utena gets many a BreakingSpeech from those around her, either about someone's emotional problem or about what they desire to gain. This trope is her usual response, getting to a point that she refuses to accept the fact that someone like her best friend Wakaba might have a problem that she wants to deal with. [[spoiler:Utena's constant "shutting up" winds up backfiring on her in the final duel, when Anthy, under Akio's control, stabs her in the back and refuses to be "saved" by her. However, despite Anthy stabbing her, Akio's supposed victory, and Dios the Prince seemingly telling Utena to give up, Utena ''refuses'' and drags herself to the Rose Gate in order to free Anthy from her eternal suffering. In fact, as Akio lectures her about the pointlessness of her endeavors she literally screams '''SHUT ''UP!''''' at him and manages to prove him wrong by opening Anthy's coffin and convincing her she deserves to be free.]]
239* Joker became quite fond of {{Breaking Lecture}}s during ''Anime/RODTheTV'', and since most of his opponents are [[IncorruptiblePurePureness such sweet women who always want to see the best in everybody]], he always seems to make a lot of headway. Then, Anita makes a pretty clever realization: "Don't be tricked, you idiot! He's the ''bad guy!''"
240* ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'':
241** In Episode 13, during the climax, Kuyou is charging at Tsukune and Inner Moka, ranting about how he "preserves order and protects the peace" at Yokai Academy and asking if Moka really thinks she can take him on... only for Gin to physically restrain him while declaring, "Damn right she can, you prick!" Moka proceeds to give Kuyou a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech about how he and his Security Committee are just a bunch of corrupt thugs before jump-kicking him through the floor.
242** In the manga, Kurumu gives one to Kiria after she saves Moka's life, Kiria [[EvilCannotComprehendGood having expected her to let Moka die so she could have Tsukune to herself]]; as Kurumu makes sure to let Kiria know, just because she's [[UnwantedHarem competing with Moka for Tsukune]] does ''not'' mean she hates Moka or wants her dead.
243* The fourth season of ''Anime/SailorMoon'' ends with the vain Queen Nehelenia turned into an elderly hag and prepared to return to her mirror prison if it means regaining her beauty. Before she does, she tosses an unconscious Sailor Chibi Moon to her death and gloats to Sailor Moon how she's lost her hope and future. Nehelenia's then horrified when Sailor Moon ''jumps after her daughter''.
244-->'''Queen Nehelenia''': How does it feel to lose someone you love? To lose your happy future? Now you know how I felt... eh?!
245-->'''Sailor Moon''': I won't lose to you!
246** The original English dub managed to make this even more poignant, by making Sailor Moon's last words to the queen about how she still feels sorry for her - [[DontYouDarePityMe which is something that drove Nehelenia insane]].
247--->'''Queen Nehelenia''': Yeah, now how do you feel Miss Sad Eyes? You've lost what you loved most, and you've lost your happy future. Now maybe you can understand how I feel. Huh?!
248--->'''Sailor Moon''': ''I still pity you''.
249* Sakura Shinguji delivers one to Brent Furlong in the ''VideoGame/SakuraWars'' [[Anime/SakuraWarsTheMovie movie]].
250-->'''Brent Furlong''': *EvilLaugh* Your so called "Imperial Capital of Flowers" will be no more as of today. I will crush it under my feet! Proclaiming it to be a mighty imperial capital doesn't change the fact that it's completely fragile. It's nothing more than a speck of dust compared to my Japhkiel!
251-->'''Sakura''': You're wrong! This place may seem like nothing more than an insignificant town to you. But there are thousands of people's lives at stake who thrive in the city. Passionate people who spend their days here, people who feel joy and sorrow, and anger and sadness. They all go about living their lives as best as they can! How dare you! How dare you dismiss all of this as something trivial! As long as there are good citizens and people that we love to defend in this great city, we will NOT be defeated!
252* Yuu of ''Manga/SeraphOfTheEnd'' does this a couple times in his fight against vampires with the vampires ranting about how they're going to kill humans or make them into livestock. Yuu usually responds something to the effect that "No, it's you who are going to die vampire" before laying the smackdown on it. Guren and Shinya have also done this to Crowley.
253* ''Anime/SDGundamForce'' gives us two, one from each of the main heroes;
254** In "Neotopia's Moment of Truth", Commander Sazabi lectures Shute that there only two kinds of people; the rulers and the ruled, and claims that Captain Gundam is no better because he used his Soul Drive to put the robots of Neotopia under his control (When in fact, Captain did so to save the robots from MindControl). Shute insists that the Soul Drive is used to help, not control
255--->'''Shute:''' We never rule or are ruled by anyone, not ever! We're all friends! Friends living together!
256** In "Gerbera's Invitation", Professor Gerbera is trying to get Captain to join the Dark Axis, claiming HumansAreBastards, they built the Dark Axis, and their evil turned Sazabi's Soul Drive black. But Captain (Who has no reason to trust Gerbera anyway) has his own theory; Soul Drives require interaction from humans to grow normally, but since there are no humans in the Dark Axis, Sazabi's Soul Drive turned evil.
257--->'''Captain:''' Those of us ''with'' Soul Drives are meant to live with human beings!
258* In ''Manga/SoulEater'', Kishin Asura monologues that [[StrawNihilist life is meaningless and that human imagination is the source of all fear]]. Lord Death keeps attacking him and saying "So what?" or "I don't care!"
259* In ''Anime/{{Symphogear}}'', a mind-controlled Tsubasa has turned on her comrades. Maria confronts her and the following exchange manages to break the mind control.
260-->'''Tsubasa:''' People are weak! And because they're weak, they must be protected by a strong power!\
261''Maria manages to catch Tsubasa in a BladeLock\
262'''Maria:''' You'll protect them because they're weak? How arrogant.\
263'''Tsubasa:''' [[FlatWhat What?]]\
264'''Maria:''' It's as if you can't keep yourself going unless you're protecting someone. [[ArmorPiercingQuestion When did you start protecting yourself instead of others?]]
265* ''Manga/TegamiBachiLetterBee'':
266** During the Blue Notes Blues arc, Lag and Niche meet the latter's older sister, who tries to kill Niche for becoming attached to a human. After she insults Niche as "foolish" for forgetting everything humans did to the two of them, Lag counters that someone who hurts her own sister is foolish, and he can't think of a living creature that isn't foolish. He then goes on to say that [[ThisIsUnforgivable he won't let her get away with hurting her sister]].
267** Late in the anime, Lawrence tries to prey on Lag's doubts in order to convince him that the government is his enemy and get him to use ThePowerOfHate. Lag then says, "That isn't the heart I want to deliver!" and [[spoiler:successfully fires a Shindan with Gauche's Shindnanjuu]].
268* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': What do you tell the god-like [[spoiler:Anti-Spiral King]] who has been revealed to [[spoiler:[[WellIntentionedExtremist only be doing it to prevent the universe from imploding?]] "You suck, and we aren't going to blow up the universe". The final conclusion to the debate after his defeat? "Seriously, dude, ''don't blow up the universe''." "Of course we won't; [[ArcWords Who the hell do you think we are]], a bunch of idiots?"]] Then [[MadeOfExplodium explosions happen]].
269* ''Anime/{{Texhnolyze}}'': Ichise sharply disagrees with Kano's nihilism. [[spoiler:This is expressed by punching Kano's head clean off]].
270* In Episode 4 of ''VisualNovel/TogainuNoChi'' Shiki attacks Akira and tries to strangle him to death while telling him that he should bark like the dog that he is and beg for his life. In response Akira knocks him away and says "As if I'd be a dog" while pointing his knife at Shiki.
271* A villainous version happens in ''Anime/TransformersCybertron''; when Starscream attempts to take the Omega Lock from Galvatron, Galvatron starts up with a speech about how weak Starscream is, only for Starscream to interrupt with a lecture of his own.
272* In ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'', Kurogane earns a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome by telling Fei Wang Reed to "shut your freaking trap." He and Fai then happily argue over who gets first dibs to fight him. Sadly subverted in that [[spoiler:it wasn't FWR after all, but Dr. Kyle, and it's R!Syaoran who kills him]]. Then reinvoked in Chapter 230 when it ''looks'' like [[spoiler:Fei Wang Reed died from both Fai's and Kurogane's repeated attacks. Then again, this being [[MindScrew TRC]], it might not be that easy after all..]].
273* ''Manga/TwentiethCenturyBoys'' has a particularly epic one when [[spoiler:Kenji]] is confronted by a CardCarryingVillain laughing about all the murders he's carried out. After he's done ranting, [[spoiler:Kenji]] spends two whole issues deconstructing the man's entire worldview, and leaves him weeping and suicidal.
274* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'', third arc: [[spoiler:Kyrie]]'s counter-speech to Leviathan of Envy. To summarize: "I see your envious childhood and raise you [[spoiler:being cheated on by my husband, who had a now-18-year-old son with the woman who replaced me]]!" Then while Leviathan is shocked at the one-upping of her envy, a {{s|evenDeadlySins}}in that ''she's supposed to be the embodiment of,'' [[spoiler:Kyrie [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome shoots her dead]]]]. When Beatrice [[EvilCannotComprehendGood didn't understand why Battler wasn't enjoying watching the murders]]. While she's talking, Battler slaps her, and calls her a monster. Beatrice counters it, however, by [[FaceHeelRevolvingDoor lying to Battler saying that she had turned good]].
275* The GrandFinale to ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'' has the lead characters do this to the EvilCounterpart of [[spoiler:the sentient AppliedPhlebotinum the crew has befriended]].
276* ''Anime/VoltesV'': When Belgan states that the humans are to be enslaved to serve the Boazanian Empire, both Mr. and Mrs. Nakamura look at him in disgust and tell him they would never do such a thing, as their son works for Big Falcon. [[spoiler: [[CruelAndUnusualDeath This leads to their doom]].]]
277* In the Duelist Kingdom arc of ''Anime/YuGiOh'', Anzu (Téa) comforts Yugi, who has just entered a HeroicBSOD after having just stopped Atemu (Yami) from calling a game-winning attack that would have led to Kaiba to make good on a suicide threat if he were to lose, leading to the latter winning instead. She tells him that his grandfather would not have wanted to be saved that way. Kaiba then [[BreakThemByTalking interjects saying that Yugi should have went through with the attack]]. (In the manga, Kaiba even says that had the roles been reversed, Kaiba would have made the attack). Anzu retorts by saying that he showed him compassion by sparing his life. From here, it becomes a case of AlternativeCharacterInterpretation, when Anzu goes into [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendship rant mode]], and you also consider that Kaiba has been doing this to save his little brother Mokuba. Naturally, given [[TheScrappy Anzu's reputation]], some people have sided with [[DracoInLeatherPants Kaiba]]. Objectively though, it can be agreed that instead of taunting Yugi/Yami, Kaiba shouldn't have [[CannotSpitItOut been so secretive there]] and that berating Yugi for sparing his life was a [[UngratefulBastard bad move]]. To be fair, at that point Anzu did NOT know about Mokuba being a hostage, and neither did the rest. They only came to know that quite a while later, and Yugi even [[TenderTears cries]] when he sees this.
278** When Dinosaur Ryuzaki ("Rex Raptor") joins the side of the Orichalcos and gives a MotiveRant about why he did and why he's trying to kill Jonouchi ("Joey"), he basically retorts, "You sold out the Human race just because I beat you at [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries a CHILDREN'S CARD GAME]]."
279** In [[Characters/YuGiOhSetoKaiba Seto Kaiba's]] second duel with Alister, Alister boasts that Kaiba couldn't possibly win in time to stop the plane from crashing, even if he ended his turn right now. Kaiba's simple reply: "Then end it already!" Similar to Joey, Kaiba is unfazed by Alister's MotiveRant about wanting to save the world from humanity's evil, retorting they just want to destroy everyone not part of their cult.
280** In the DOMA Arc, the Pharaoh's response to Haga's EvilGloating after he rips up a card that he claims holds Yugi's soul is "Wash your neck and wait." (To American viewers, this is what they told a condemned man in Feudal Japan before he was hanged. Haga's OhCrap reaction is hardly unexpected.)
281** Also in the Doma Arc, Kaiba delivers one in response to Dartz's HannibalLecture about the evilness inside a human heart, which can never be eradicated fully. Kaiba simply laughs it off and says that him and Mokuba have been battling the evilness inside their hearts all their life, yet have come this far.
282** Also Doma Arc, when the Pharaoh, Kaiba and Dartz duel, inevitably only the Pharaoh is left to stop him. Dartz delivers a debilitating breaking speech to [[Characters/YuGiOhYamiYugi Atemu/Yami]], who finally realises Dartz was wrong about him with the help of his friends. When Dartz attempts to go for round two of his speech, the Pharaoh simply tells him 'Believe what you wish' and goes into his own epic friendship speech.
283** In ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', the BigBad of Season 1 briefly tries to persuade JACK ATLAS to join him. Jack replies that he will never join him because he caused the death of his girlfriend.
