* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': In Chapter 145, [[spoiler:Karane provokes this reaction from all the other girls when she reveals that Rentarou proposed to her in the previous chapter.]]
* The entire Band of the Hawk from ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' get this upon [[spoiler:realizing what Void and the Godhand mean by "Sacrifice" in regards to them all when the Eclipse goes down]], a moment that only gets worse when [[spoiler:everyone gets Branded for Sacrifice and the demons start closing in for the feast]]. Very much ''not'' played for laughs.
* In ''Anime/CodeGeass'', Lelouch gives an OhCrap moment to the whole world (that includes some 90% of the cast, too) when he [[spoiler:captures the Damocles and declares himself ruler of the world]].
** Of all people, ''Nina'' gives one to dozens of people when she shows up with the Ganymede, packing what is essentially a ''home-built nuke''. The nuke is not actually operational but no one knows that at the time, resulting in [[BunnyEarsLawyer Lloyd Asplund]]'s shrill "'''[[OhCrap IKENAI!!]]'''" when he sees the Ganymede and remembers just what Nina was working on. The second part of this particular Mass Oh Crap comes in the second season when a fully working version goes off...and [[SphereOfDestruction vaporizes a spherical chunk of real estate into thin air]]. Then to hammer it in even further, the next one has a blast radius ''measured in the tens of kilometers''. What allows Lelouch to pull his aforementioned global OhCrap moment is getting control over an entire arsenal of these things. So yes, when it comes to Mass Oh Craps, Code Geass '''delivers'''.
* In ''Literature/DateALive'', when [[spoiler:Tohka experiences a Sephiroth inversion at the thought that Shidou's going to die]], everyone on the Ratatoskr immediately shows this reaction, in a very serious way. When all the sensors go haywire and waves of utter darkness start emanating from the site of a rescue mission, not many can maintain composure.
* Certain ''Anime/{{Doraemon}}'' movies will have Doreamon and gang collectively panicking in dire situations.
** ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheKingdomOfClouds'': When Shizuka, Gian and Suneo finds out the Cloud People's final solution of handling earth's environmental crisis being Project Noah - restarting TheGreatFlood to wipe out all life on earth.
** ''Anime/DoraemonNobitasGreatAdventureIntoTheUnderworld'' have the gang's first, unsuccessful attempt to take down Demon Lord Demaon, where the powerful overlord easily NoSell all their attacks causing everyone to panic. Except their new friend, Miyoko, who's DefiantToTheEnd and draws her sword.
** ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheSteelTroops'': Doraemon and everyone else after realizing the hostile robot army had discovered they're invading a mirror world - and are now heading for the PortalPool in the hills, where the ''real'' world is located.
** ''Anime/DoraemonNobitasDriftsInTheUniverse'' has everybody, including their allies from the Space Knights, Lian and his crew, being shocked at finding out their friend Freya is TheMole.
** ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheTinLabyrinth'' have Shizuka first, and then ''everybody else'', when they realize their Guide-Mouse has been destroyed just as they're stuck in the heart of TheMaze.
** ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheWindmasters'' have the entire population of the Wind Village losing it when Nobita, returning to the village after an encounter with the Yaakju and being informed of Mafuga's prophesized awakening, tells them everything he knew.
** Near the climax of ''Anime/DoraemonNobitasTreasureIsland'', the citizens on said island (which is revealed to be an island-sized spaceship) all have worried looks when they thought they're hit by an eqrthquake. Turns out Captain Silver is about to activate his doomsday device to [[PlanetaryCoreManipulation penetrate into the earth's core]].
** ''Anime/DoraemonNobitasNewDinosaur'' has the entire gang's reaction when they saw the ''huge'' pterosaur descending upon them from the clouds.
* ''Manga/DragonBall'' does this a lot. When Goku or his opponent powers up, Krillin and anyone watching will get really scared. Just like with the BigEater thing, they never, ''ever'' get used to seeing this done, and stand gape-mouthed throughout the entire scene. Jeez, Krillin, at least make yourself useful and bring the guy some Gatorade!
* Dead serious one in ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]]'' when [[spoiler: Instrumentality starts.]] Repeated in ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' under slightly different circumstances.
* ''Literature/SwordOratoria'': The elites of the Loki Familia knew they were in trouble when they came across a [[spoiler:Demi-Spirit]] on the 59th Floor. Their despair was heightened when it began to [[MagicalIncantation chant]], but their fears weren't fully realized until after it had nearly decimated them with its first usage of super long chant magic, only to immediately begin the incantation of a second spell.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' likes this trope:
** Aizen's reality-bending, Xanatos-piling shenanigans cause this several times. Chapter 364 and 376 are this trope for all the Shinigami. Then again in Chapter 392 where it turned out that the person Hitsugaya stabbed [[spoiler: was not Aizen, but [[TheWoobie Hinamori]].]]
** [[TheEmperor Yhwach's]] CombatPragmatist tactics in the Thousand Year Blood War Arc do this to Soul Society ''twice'' in quick succession. First, in Chapter 490, [[spoiler: Yhwach's herald announces the invasion of Soul Society in 5 days ...then Yhwach begins the attack a few hours later.]] Second, in Chapter 546, [[spoiler: Yhwach gets around his inability to leave his own realm for more than a short time ...by ''transporting Seireitei INTO his own realm''.]]
** In Chapter 577, nearly everyone in Soul Society, Shinigami and their enemies the Vandenreich alike, do this when [[spoiler:Gremmy Thoumeaux summons a giant meteor to crash down on them. Fortunately, Kenpachi [[AbsurdCuttingPower destroys it in time]].]]
* The grand finale of ''Manga/DeathNote'', where [[spoiler:team leader Light is outed as the mass murderer Kira that the team have been hunting.]] Their reaction is mostly this strong because [[spoiler:Light's reaction to Near's accusations is to take an EvilLaugh and make it quite thoroughly his own.]]
* A ''huge'' one in the ''Literature/FullMetalPanic: The Second Raid'' finale. As Sousuke unleashes the full power of the [[FullContactMagic Lambda Driver]] and blows away Gates, his teammates are like '''holy crap'''.
** A smaller one is also in the first season finale. After defeating Gauron one last time, TheStoic Sousuke uses the opportunity of parting words to pull off a PrecisionFStrike. Cue to everyone gasping loudly. Justified in that he never, ever swears -- not even by accident -- so him calling someone an S.O.B. is quite a shock for others.
* In ''Franchise/{{Digimon}},'' split screens of the whole cast staring in horror is pretty much standard procedure whenever last week's FinishingMove proves to be this week's [[TheWorfBarrage Worf Barrage]]. Typically, one character after another is added to the split screen with a rapidfire choom-choom-choom sound effect until all are shown.
* The manga ''Manga/LittleHouseWithAnOrangeRoof'' has one of these after Shoutaro and Natchi realize they both got conned into buying the same house.
* In ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' when [[spoiler: Judai's eyes turn gold after Mad King Brron 'killed' his friends in front of him and he begins to be as brutal as you can be in a card game]], everyone watching the duel but Judai.
* ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'': Everyone in Neo Domino City when [[spoiler: [[PersonOfMassDestruction Aporia]] is formed, summons his Machine Emperor and starts pelting them with lightning]]. [[spoiler: Then when they think it's all over, [[FromBadToWorse the sky cracks]], and the [[OminousFloatingCastle Ark Cradle]] appears, [[ColonyDrop on a collision course with the city]].]]
* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' had a couple of these, but the most memorable would be when [[spoiler:the [[BadassArmy Briggs troops]] subdue and capture 90% of Central Headquarters,]] and everyone starts celebrating. All of a sudden:
--> [[spoiler: Bradley/Wrath:]] *over the broadcasting system* [[OhCrap Greetings.]] [[NotQuiteDead I'm back.]]
** A more humorous one in ''Anime/FullMetalAlchemist2003'' where Edward hides in a crowd while duking it out with Mustang, not that it stops Mustang from unleashing a huge fireball at Ed and everyone else in range.
* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'':
** During "Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon", Ash and Squirtle chase after a fuse, trying to douse it before it reaches a stack of explosives, while Team Rocket, the ones who set the explosives, is chasing ''them''. All except Pikachu get rolled into a pile several feet away from the dynamite stack, and Pikachu panics and electrocutes the charges, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero setting them off himself]] instead. Everyone present realizes then just how doomed they are.
** In "Facing Fear With Eyes Wide Open", Ash is trying to get his Oshawott to stop freaking out and closing his eyes whenever he goes underwater - the point of all this is that it will give Aqua Jet a non-zero accuracy rating. As a result of Scraggy [[IdiotBall agitating a bunch of Foongus]], Ash and Oshawott are forced to go underwater and grab some seaweed to cure the resulting poison; needless to say, the local Tympole and their Palpitoad boss aren't willing to share. Oshawott is getting bombarded by Bubble attacks from every direction and attacking aimlessly in the process...up until he finally decides to give opening his eyes a shot. Once he realizes that there's no problem with his vision underwater, Oshawott effortlessly thwarts the latest barrage with one swing of Razor Shell. While a Tympole's eyebrows never really move, their facial expressions and the sound of their voices at this development literally scream "'''''WE'RE FUCKED!!!'''''"
** Ash, Mallow, and Lana [[http://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/sunmoon/959/DP37.jpg have one]] when DisasterDominoes result in Rowlet and Popplio getting swept away in a giant bubble.
* At the end of ''Anime/SmilePrecure'' Episode 28, the girls all have a massive freakout over the scariest thing of all: [[spoiler:the summer homework they've all neglected until it was too late]].
* ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'' tops them all with a ''global'' OhCrap [[PersonOfMassDestruction Zebra]] getting released from jail made...the entire human world crap itself. A fortune teller told his CrystalBall the word 'Zebra' and the ball wisely broke itself. The global economy nearly crashed. Predicted damages would be in the quadrillions of yen. A few small countries disappeared. '''This is just from the rumor that he would be released.''' To put it into perspective, Zebra was sent to jail for eating over two dozen ''species'' '''into extinction'''. An appetite like that would make any food-themed world panic.
** The news of the Four Beasts' awakening causes a panic that dwarfs the upheaval caused by Zebra's release. The entire population of the Human World retreats to the center of the Human World, leaving the borders completely deserted. Wholly justified, since the Four Beasts are horrifically powerful denizens of the [[DeathWorld Gourmet World]] that prey exclusively on humans.
* ''Manga/FairyTail'': PlayedForLaughs with Erza's first appearance.
** Then later, ''everyone'' after [[spoiler:[[DiabolusExMachina Acnologia's arrival]] on Tenrou Island]].
*** [[spoiler: And again when Tartaros and the Dragon Slayers hear him headed their way.]]
** And, once more, when Ezra steps forward in the Pandemonium game. [[spoiler: In a dungeon of 100 monsters, where each person is expected to challenge five or so, she challenges all 100, including an unbeatable monster. The reaction includes basically everyone introduced except the Big Bad.]]
*** Only Natsu and Grey are not doing this. They're LAUGHING!
** Oh Crap doesn't begin to describe the looks of shock on everyones' faces when the Eclipse Gate finally opens [[spoiler:and a dragon emerges. Followed by more dragons.]]
** Almost entire Fairy Tail members go OhCrap when [[Really700YearsOld Mavis]] starts crying.
* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' is ''very'' fond of the spit-screen version of this trope. Especially noticeable when [[spoiler:ZAFT fires the GENESIS for the first time]]; pretty much the whole cast goes slack-jawed at the massacre.
* Happens in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', when [[spoiler:the real Uchiha Madara shows up and starts [[ColonyDrop dropping asteroids on people]].]]
** Happens again later, when he frees himself from the Edo Tensei contract thus making himself, for all practical purposes, immortal and invincible, and shattering the last hope they had of getting rid of him.
* In the ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' movie, the characters do this when they find out that England had put [[LethalChef his home-made scones]] into the gift bags they gave the invading aliens.
* ''Anime/{{Hellsing}}'' gives this treatment to various characters but the most telling instances are when Waffen SS vampires tremble in fear of [[spoiler: Seras]] and when two entire ''armies'' attack Alucard "lest something dreadful happen."
** To clarify on the two armies: [[spoiler: One of them is a series of Catholic KnightTemplar crusaders who will kill anyone who has the slightest bit of impurity (this includes the [[SarcasmMode dreadful crime of being a Protestant]]). The other is an army of satanic, vampire Nazis who will kill anyone who isn't a Nazi. They both agree that Alucard, who is about to unleash his full power as a vampire with his final PowerLimiter release state, is first priority.]]
* ''Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato'': Dressler causes this three times, starting with the second season: the first time he merely needs to reveal he's still alive to cause the bridge crew of the ''Yamato'' to go from cheerfulness at their latest victory over the White Comet Empire to terrified horror; the second time the ''Yamato'' is about to start the final battle against the White Comet when Dessler shows up and starts teleporting starfighters before the ship, with the crew remembering with horror about the last time this happened; in the third season, by which time he had decided to ally with Earth, Dessler is informed that the warship causing trouble to some of his newest subordinates is the ''Yamato'', and his barely restrained rage at discovering how they had attacked a ship they had been specifically ordered to ''not'' attack causes this.
* In ''Literature/{{Baccano}} 1935-B - Dr. Feelgreed'', the Daily Days collectively loses its shit upon the discovery that [[spoiler:[[TheDreaded Claire]] [[PsychoForHire Stanfield]] has started working for [[MadScientist Huey]] [[ManipulativeBastard Laforet]]]].
* ''Manga/HajimeNoIppo'': Date starts talking behind Takamura's back, while Sendo, Mashiba and his sister, Okita and Saeki agree. [[spoiler: Only to find out that Takamura was in the same bar the whole time.]] [[Funny/HajimeNoIppo It goes as well as you'd expect.]]
* ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire [=Capu2=]'': In Episode 8, this is Kurumu, Mizore, and Yukari's understandable reaction when Tsukune unleashes Inner Moka to put a stop to their fight; Inner Moka proceeds to T.K.O. all three of them with a single kick.
* In ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'', this is the reaction achieved (both by the characters '''and the audience''') when [[spoiler: the Maus]] makes its appearance.
* A serious example in the ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' anime when the Colossal Titan appears the second time.
** [[spoiler: The '''''entire world as a whole''''' has this reaction when [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the Rumbling]] begins in earnest.]]
* Near the end of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'', The Book of Darkness starts charging up an attack, which the heroes recognize as being Nanoha's [[WaveMotionGun Starlight Breaker]]. They fly away as fast as possible.
* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' does not play this for laughs when [[spoiler:All For One shows up during the raid on the League of Villains]]. Midoriya and his friends are so terrified and filled with dread that they can't even move.
** [[spoiler: Then, later on? Shigaraki wakes up with All for One and all the quirks it was carrying ...and still has his Decay quirk ''...and it's now ranged.'' He's also really, really angry. Every single professional hero fighting ...panics.]]
* Played for Laughs in ''Anime/UmaMusume''. All of Team Spica have this reaction when they come across a pronounced curve during their training race, and they realize they're running too fast to stop. They keep running until they land on the ocean.
* ''Anime/WildKnightsGulkeeva'': Everyone reacts this way when Dancer activates the Devil's Core, a weapon capable of annihilating Earth. Even the Darknoids are freaking out.
* ''Manga/{{Kingdom}}'': Qin's entire royal court freak out when they learn that all other six states are invading them. Even Ryofui loses his cool.
* ''Manga/MusukoGaKawaikuteShikataganaiMazokuNoHahaoya'': When the protagonists' trip into the Self-Administrated Zone turns into a fight, everyone but Merii freaks out when [[spoiler:Lorem demonifies]]. For some, like Valentine and Isabella, it's because they didn't realize [[spoiler:just how strong Lorem was]], while others, like Garon and Isabella's father Ramon, know ''exactly'' [[spoiler:how strong Lorem is]].
----
* The entire Band of the Hawk from ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' get this upon [[spoiler:realizing what Void and the Godhand mean by "Sacrifice" in regards to them all when the Eclipse goes down]], a moment that only gets worse when [[spoiler:everyone gets Branded for Sacrifice and the demons start closing in for the feast]]. Very much ''not'' played for laughs.
* In ''Anime/CodeGeass'', Lelouch gives an OhCrap moment to the whole world (that includes some 90% of the cast, too) when he [[spoiler:captures the Damocles and declares himself ruler of the world]].
** Of all people, ''Nina'' gives one to dozens of people when she shows up with the Ganymede, packing what is essentially a ''home-built nuke''. The nuke is not actually operational but no one knows that at the time, resulting in [[BunnyEarsLawyer Lloyd Asplund]]'s shrill "'''[[OhCrap IKENAI!!]]'''" when he sees the Ganymede and remembers just what Nina was working on.
