In Japanese, "Go" means "five". But many Japanese are also aware that it means "move forward" or "take action" in English. So when the word is mixed into GratuitousEnglish, or included as GratuitousJapanese, it becomes a pun, having both meanings at once.

This could apply to titles, names, dialog, and many things related to a FiveManBand.

Perhaps in straight Japanese, the pun is there, but someone who knows Japanese would have to explain how the pun is there in any such examples.

Popular in both {{Manga}}, {{Anime}}, and {{Animesque}} shows.

SevenIsNana is a SisterTrope.

[[folder: Anime and Manga ]]
* The original title for ''Anime/SpeedRacer'' is ''Mach Go Go Go'' after the car, which is called the "Mach Go". So calling it the "Mach 5" in the dub [[{{Woolseyism}} just made sense]]. Since the word "number" can be pronounced "go" as well, an accurate translation of the original title would be "Mach #5, Go!" - all 3 "go"s have different meanings.
** It helps that Speed's original Japanese name was "Go".
** For those who care, "go" doesn't exactly mean "number," though it frequently can be used as such--it's a suffix attached to the name of a vehicle, which frequently do involve numbers but don't have to. E.g. [[{{Gigantor}} Tetsujin Nijuhachi-go]] is literally "Iron Man #28", but CaptainHarlock's ship, the Arcadia, is also referred to as "Arcadia-go" in Japanese.
* ''GoLion'' (''{{Voltron}}'' in America) is made of five lions, and they shout [[GratuitousEnglish "Let's Go Lion!"]] before forming.
* In one episode of ''FushigiboshiNoFutagoHime'', Bumo, EvilCounterpart to Pumo, disguises himself as the latter and tries to lead the main characters into a trap by explaining that the answer their [[CrystalBall Crystal Fortulette]] gave (6) meant to '''go''' to the '''Thorn''' (Ibara) Mansion, since one ('''i'''chi) and five (go) add up to six.
* ''[[PrettyCure Yes! Pretty Cure 5 Go Go!]]'' is the second series of that franchise featuring a FiveManBand.
* In ''HikaruNoGo'', Hikaru wears a shirt with the number 5 on it. And he's a ''go'' player.
* Usually races in ''InitialD'' start with a different countdown, but this one appears a few times.
* The song "Gohan wa Okazu" ("Rice as a Side Dish") from ''{{K-On}}!!'' episode 20 contains the refrain "Ichi, ni, san, shi, gohan!" (One, two, three, four, [[IncrediblyLamePun rice]]!")
* Opening 15 of OnePiece, "We Go!", has the refrain "Ichi, ni, [[ThemeNaming sun]][[GratuitousEnglish shine]], [[{{Pun}} yon, WE]] GO!" The romanization of "sunshine" is "san-sha-in," in which "san" is the traditional three.
* ''YuGiOh5Ds'': Yusei's [[CoolBike D-Wheel]] is called the Yusei Go. [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Yusei_Go#Name Its Wikia page]] should give some insights on the many possible meanings/puns of the name.

[[folder: Live Action TV ]]
* The original ''SuperSentai'' show ''HimitsuSentaiGoranger''.
** ''{{Engine Sentai Go-onger}}''. The title theme even mimics the trope name. (Ichi, ni, san, shi, Go-onger!)
*** Referenced in ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'', where Sosuke (Go-On Red) uses that particular song lyric to count before attempting a long jump in order to enter a passage to Gunman World.
** ''RescueSentaiGoGoFive'' can be read as "(19)99 Sentai 555".[[note]]555 is the emergency phone number in Japan, equivalent to 911 in the US.[[/note]]
** ''Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters'' is an odd example, as despite having "Go" in its name it features a PowerTrio rather than a full FiveManBand. At the same time, it references the trope practically by name in the opening lyrics... even though 2 and 3 are switched around.
** ''TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan'' uses a variation, punning on "san" (three) and "sun" with the lyric "One plus two plus Sun Vulcan".
* In the live-action ''[[MahouSenseiNegima Negima]]'' series (''Negima!!'', for those keeping score), they use it in the opening theme ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z0paA1zxdE&list=PL470347E1BF05F447&index=4&playnext=1 Pink Generation]]''. (Warning: Massive EarWorm ahead.) (This video has an English subtitle if you turn captions on.)

[[folder: Video Games ]]
* In ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution Ultramix 4'', one of the songs is entitled "GO!" -- getting its title from its [[UncommonTime 5/4 time signature.]] Throughout the track, a voice can be made out in the background counting off in Japanese.
** ''[[PumpItUp Pump It Up Pro 2]]'' has a different remix of the same "GO!" song mentioned above, with the same time signature issues.

[[folder: Web Comics]]
* MushroomGo: At the beginning of the comic, Go becomes the fifth member of the Chainless.

[[folder: Western Animation ]]
* The AnimatedAdaptation of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' is the TropeNamer. The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqjqoNjkBcI theme song]] is by [[PuffyAmiYumi a Japanese rock band]], and ends with the line "One, Two, Three, Four, Go!" counting down the five members. It's also a reference to Robin's BattleCry, "Titans, go!"
** In ''TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo'', when Beast Boy sings the Japanese version of the theme (with the lyrics translated to English,) [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0Xjmdotzkc he ends the song with "ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, TEEN TITANS!" instead.]]
* ''SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperForceGo'' has five [[strike:Super]] Robot Monkeys.
