- Anything Goes Game Changer
: Except for Minaka (who's crazy), everyone working at MBI has this reaction when it's revealed that Ranma Saotome isn't an unknown Sekirei, but a human martial artist, meaning there's likely more people out there who can effortless curbstomp the average Sekirei. - The Chaotic Masters: Most of the world's various magic-associated beings, both good and evil, freak out upon realizing that the Chaotic Masters are returning.
- Child of the Storm: After being put through a Trauma Conga Line in Ghosts of the Past, Harry snaps and becomes the Dark Phoenix.

- During a forced Dungeon Crawl in Sekirei? Is that some new species of little sister, everyone panics when Minaka rolls a Die of Power and gets a 1. The lower a roll below ten the worse the effect is (An 8 spawned an Ogre and a 4 had spawned a Xenomorph).
- This occurs again when the group shoots the resulting boss with plasma rifles (which they got from rolling a Die of Power and getting a 16) and it no sells the blasts.
- In Wizard Runemaster, the Scarlet Crusaders panic after Harry gets around their temporary invincibility using the Killing Curse on them.
- Dance with the Demons: In Chapter 7m The Creeper bumps into three crooks breaking into an ATM. Believing him to be The Joker (after all, Creeper is a green-haired laughing madman), they "managed to get out a string of frightened obscenities" before running away.
- Suffice to say, given what they're watching, Class 78 has a lot of these moments in Class 78th Watches the Future, but none of them are Played for Laughs. Some of the bigger moments include:

It sank in for everyone at the exact same time. "Shit!"

- Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): In this Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) fanfiction, the G-Team, upon realizing that not all of Ghidorah was destroyed at Boston because Godzilla missed San's severed head that he previously tore off in Mexico, react with silence before new G-Team operative Ford Brody hisses out a curse.

- Marinette's Week Off: While Alya stubbornly resists the idea of admitting how much she needs Marinette's help, she eventually gives in... and expects her former friend to respond promptly to her S.O.S, complaining bitterly about her lack of response. Then Nathaniel reminds the class that their "everyday Ladybug" is currently in the middle of her one week off, and won't be coming back from her vacation to bail them all out. Cute the whole class panicking.
- Rate This (Trust is Hard to Come By):
- Alya, Adrien, and the rest of Marinette's Fair-Weather Friends initially greet Gardener's announcement that her akuma powers will expose how much or how little Ladybug trusts everyone in Paris by joking about how highly they'll obviously wind up scoring, with Alya spitefully predicting Marinette will barely make it into the double digits. Then Gardener's magic reaches them and Alya sees that she wound up with a 2, the lowest out of the whole akuma class.
- She and the others get another collective one when Chloé justifies Marinette's 92 by reminding Alya how Marinette was the one who arranged her first interview with Ladybug, declaring that she's been friends with her alter ego all along... with Marinette adding that she's been showing Ladybug all of the nasty messages they've been sending her.
- This is notably Averted with Miss Bustier; despite being present for the latter revelation, she only reacts upon hearing that Ladybug will be contacting the school board with evidence of how she's let all of the bullying go unchallenged, underscoring just how little she cares about any of her students.

- Change Up: Everyone participating in U.A.'s Entrance Exam joins in on one when they collectively realize that the final phase features robots that can use Quirks.
- Nutricula: During the League of Villain's assault on the USJ, all of Class 1-A have this reaction when Kurogiri grabs one of their classmates and surrounds them with his portals, causing their limbs to stick out in places scattered all around the compound. Mainly because it dawns upon them that he's setting up a Portal Cut, and is about to execute Izuku in front of everyone.
- Everyone in Izuku's testing site panics in chapter 9 of Quantity of Quirks when it turns out Izuku (plus Kirishima, Ochako, and Kyoka) was right about the test having already started. None of them realize it until fifteen minutes into an hour long exam when Midnight announces over the PA system that they must be awfully confident to give their competition such a massive headstart.
- The Reason why the Second Meta-Liberation War is going to be Weird has the whole HPSC panicking once they realize that Hawks has escaped with all of their blackmail materials.
- Spiked Drink has a group of would-be kidnappers spiking Pro Hero Shouto's drink. He moves into the bathroom and into their trap, but their plans are disrupted by Izuku showing up, as they panic about how they can't fight the Number One Hero. While they attempt to escape, Izuku snares them with Blackwhip, ordering the also-present Bakugo to call the police.
- Statistic features Toshinori going undercover as a Quirkless teacher at Aldera Middle School. After enduring constant abuse and mockery from the rest of his coworkers, he finally induces one of these by transforming into All Might in front of them all, causing them to realize they'd been Bullying a Dragon the whole time.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
- Discord's New Business: The general reaction when people see Princess Pinkie Pie is sheer terror.
- The Great Alicorn Hunt: The Mane Six have all ascended into Alicorns, and two Galas (one for the adults of the upper crust, one for their kids) are being held after their official coronation. During the Junior Gala, the four members of the CMC (and their newest friend, Fluttershy's little brother Breezy Shy) inform a group of colts and fillies from Manehatten, who are also attending and have a history with Babs Seed, that they're kin to the new princesses. Pennyworth and his goons don't believe them, leading to a big fight with the CMC and Breezy. Later, as the bullies are in the infirmary, they're plotting their revenge... and have this reaction when they realize the CMC were telling the truth, courtesy of an angry Princess Applejack showing up, having overheard everything they'd been saying.
- Later on, the original three CMCs all end up ascending into Alicorns as well. Cue the entire population of Ponyville having this reaction when the news breaks on all three of them in the same issue of the morning paper.
- How I Lost My Mother: In The Ending of the End, Part III, Cozy Glow reveals that she found the Rook her Alicorn powers were sealed into and demonstrates just how powerful it is via a mountain-shattering Kamehame Hadoken. Princess Celestia and all of her allies are naturally horrified by this.
- The Pony POV Series:
- A very good one happens in the Dark World arc, when Rancor literally stabs Discord In the Back. The action grinds to a stop as every character freezes in shock at the unexpected twist, and everyone realizes that this changes everything — even the Nameless Passenger realizes that its well-scripted plans have been ruined now.
- Later in the same arc, there's another when everyone discovers that Pinkie's been Secretly Dying since her Element of Rage was shattered. Even Odyne!Cruelty freezes up in shock.
- In the Rumors Arc, the defeated Nyarlathotrot and his family that helped him have a big one when their Elder Azerhorse speaks. Given Azerhorse intentionally doing anything is nearly unheard of, they more or less instantly know their parent is royally clopped off at the lot of them.
- Escape From The Hokage's Hat: A large squad of over 50 Iwa ninja bump into Tsunade's group (Tsunade, Naruto, Hinata, Shizune and Hana) and engage them in a fight (read: surprise attack). While frustrated at how the group is somewhat surviving the attack, many find themselves constantly switching from sheer abject rage to deep terror when they start noticing that there is a blonde 13 year old boy in the group. Who is skilled at Taijutsu, moves incredibly quickly, and knows how to use the Rasengan. Just like Konoha's Yellow Flash.
- Advice and Trust: When they watch Zeruel defeating Rei and crushing the two drone-controlled Evas single-handedly and easily, everyone shows this reaction.
- In One Punch Man: Hero's Harem, everyone aware of Saitama's power panics when Vacuuma eats him, fearing the monster will become truly unstoppable. Luckily, Saitama simply punches his way out without being absorbed.
- In Serious Saitama the various S-Rank heroes are all shocked/terrified that the Subterraneans they were struggling against were only a tenth of their forces, even more so that the remaining ninety percent are all being defeated by a single man.
- A couple of serious examples in Pokémon Reset Bloodlines, both of them involving Gyarados:
- In Twenty Gyarados Bill Gaiden, a large crowd in the Cianwood City harbor is horrified when Bill's first Gyarados rises out of the water, because they realize what happened to Bill's crewmates (he had killed them not long ago), and that they're next. Then another Gyarados rises out of the water and kills twenty-four humans with one bite, terrifying the unfortunate townspeople even more. As more and more Gyarados, all of them obviously belonging to Bill, reveal themselves to the increasingly scared populace while Bill continues to rant, many of them start running in panic... not that it does them much good, since the entire harbor is quickly destroyed by a barrage of Hyper Beam attacks.
- In the Laramie Gaiden, both the Ranger and Trainer battleships realize their battle injured a school of Gyarados, who are not happy about this, so they quickly set aside their differences to get the hell out of there. Like in the above example, it barely does them any good, especially when one of them summons a rainstorm, and a large wave ends up swallowing the lifeboats.
- In Case of the Technology, pretty much after finding out Melanie C had been dismembered with her head placed in a device to keep her ALIVE, before being placed inside of an a chest freezer. With no other choice, the recovery crew had to finished up what was started. The narrator especially has this when Melanie C woke up to see what was done to her, ala Mars Attacks!. Bad timing to be playing "Mein Teil" indeed.
- In Chapter 55, In the Dark, Melanie is put under hypnotism, she reveals what she went though, almost being a victim of a Human Sacrifice. After this, the rest of the Spice Girls left in tears while the Backstreet Boys were just stunned, along with the court officials.
- Earlier on, the bus accident also prompted this, same with Melanie thanks to the trauma.
- White Sheep: The entire Kingdom of Vale (and presumably the rest of the world, though we don't see their reactions) freaks out when they realize that the "mindless" Grimm are being controlled by an intelligent being who is actively holding them back from wiping out humanity...and the Kingdom of Atlas just pissed him off.If every Grimm in Vale came, the city would fall. If every Grimm in the world came, the world would fall.
- Sonic X: Dark Chaos: Everyone - including Maledict himself - has one of these in Episode 75 when Dark Tails steals the Chaos Emeralds and becomes a god.
- A multiway Oh, Crap! ensues due to a Gambit Pileup early in Don't Say Goodbye, Farewell. Janice Qua and her crew have an Oh, Crap! when what she thought was a freighter about to be attacked by Orions suddenly broadcasts the IFF of USS George Hammond and opens fire on said Orions. Further Oh Craps ensue when the second Federation starship Eleya had with her appears, and then when Eleya, who is experienced at fighting Klingons, is able to track Qua's fleeing birds-of-prey through their cloak for a few minutes. Eleya, conversely, has an Oh, Crap! when Qua's bird-of-prey wolfpack decloaks and attacks the Orion ship she was luring in. For their part, the Orions just plain panic and open fire on everybody.
- The Hospital Toys: In the first chapter, the toys all get into a mass panic when they suddenly wake up in a completely new playroom.
- Weaver Nine: The Society tries using replicas of the Simurgh to psyche out Leviathan, as well as gauge his reactions and senses. While the success of that experiment is debatable, it caused a panicked retreat among the Protectorate force.
