History CatchPhrase / AnimeAndManga

-->'''Luffy:''' I'm gonna be the Pirate King!
** Luffy also has another one he loves so much he uses it in situations where it makes little to no sense and even when in (admittedly thin and already broken several times) disguise, rather than not say it at all, he just makes sure to whisper it.
-->'''Luffy:''' Because I'm rubber.

** Kalifa of [[SecretPolice CP9]] is quick to call ''anything'' "sexual harassment", even [[ButtMonkey Spandam's existance]].

** Variants on this phrase crop up throughout the series, as when Viral asks Lordgenome, "Who ''are'' these people, anyway?", or when Nia asks one of the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Four Generals]] "[[{{Keigo}} Are you aware of who I am?!]]"

** Nanoha's [[EmpathicWeapon Raising Heart]] also has its own SurprisinglyGoodEnglish CatchPhrase: "Standby, ready."

* ''LightNovel/AriaTheScarletAmmo'': Aria has "I'll blast a hole in you!".

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'':

* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' Sousuke Sagara says "''Mondai nai''," ("Not a problem,") often enough for it to be his CatchPhrase. On at least one occasion it prompts Kaname to reply furiously that it's a "''big'' problem!"

* ''LightNovel/{{Katanagatari}}'': At one point, Togame tells Shichika that if he is to be taken seriously as a swordsman he must have the equivalent of a catchphrase, Shichika picks the last one she suggests because he doesn't really care, his catchphrase is now "However by that point you might be torn to pieces."

* ''LightNovel/MariaWatchesOverUs'': The characters have ''"Gokigenyou!"''[[note]]A formal greeting used by the students of Lillian[[/note]], which has become MemeticMutation in and of itself, as well as ''"Onee-Sama"''. Curious enough, they say it a lot in the doujin FightingGame ''[[VideoGame/{{Maribato}} Maribato!]]''

* ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'': Akira and his VirtualSidekick Alpha have a two-person catch phrase. Akira’s SurvivalMantra of "[[ThisIsGonnaSuck Resolve is my responsibility]]", to which Alpha says "Leave the rest to me!". She also says "Leave it to me!" plenty of other times.

* ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'': Thanks to Creator/RieKugimiya, "Urusai, urusai, urusai!" can now be seen and heard in identical fashions in ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero'', ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'', and ''LightNovel/{{Toradora}}''.
** And now ''LightNovel/AriaTheScarletAmmo''.

* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'':

* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'':

* ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' "Gozaru" (Japanese for "dare say" according to the translation) is [[spoiler: the catchphrase that Queen Mirellia's personal Shadow says to Naofumi everytime both in and out of her Shadow uniform to indicate who she is to him.]]

** "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM/WE ARE?!" Surprisingly, the original Japanese phrase means the same thing, though it's still more disrespectful than in English. In a case of LuckyTranslation, the English phrase matched the lip movements closely enough to be used in the dub.

** Shinji's "I mustn't run away". In the original Japanese it's "nigechatta dame da" (more literally, "to run away is no good"). Has become a famous enough phrase to be used in a ''{{Transformers}}: WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' kids manga (aimed several years lower than ''Eva''). It was also parodied when his English voice actor recorded an in-character [[http://shinjismind.ytmnd.com/ commentary track]] about the GainaxEnding:

** Rentarou: "And so, due to how things panned out, would you guys mind accepting [new girl] as my newest girlfriend...?"

** Ahko: "That sends me."[[note]]"[[PhraseCatcher Where?]]"[[/note]]

* ''Astro Boy'' in the English translation shouts "go...go...GO!" when applying his strength.

* ''LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf'': Holo has one depending on what language you're watching it in. "Tawake!" for Japanese and "I am Holo the Wise Wolf" for English.

*** Funimation translated it as " A Phantomhive butler who isn't able to do (whatever just happened) isn't worth his salt" [[GrumpyBear Ciel]] eventually ends the phrase after a while.

* ''Manga/SquidGirl'': [[{{Pun}} ~de geso!]]

** ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'': Nagisa, who says an average of twice, maybe three times an episode, ''arienai'' ("That's impossible" or "That can't be"). She also has "Lucky!"

** Toshiro: "It's '''Captain''' Hitsugaya."

* ''Manga/KindaichiCaseFiles'': "In the name of my grandfather..." (Kindaichi declaring his intent to solve the case) and "The mystery is solved!" (when Kindaichi makes that EurekaMoment connecting all of the clues together).

** ''Anime/LupinIIIPartII'': Inspector Zenigata, in the English dub, had a tendency to yell "Crap, crap, crap, crap!"

** Not to forget Zenigata's other, more universal, catchphrase: "Lupin, you're under arrest!" (even if he's arresting someone else)

** "WhatAnIdiot" -Yui

-->'''[[TooDumbToLive Gedatsu]]''': [[WhatAnIdiot How/So careless!]]

** Aashii: "That sends me."
