1->''"Urusai, urusai, URUSAI!"'' ("Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!")
2-->-- '''[[{{Tsundere}} Shana]]''', ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana''
3
4Maybe it's the BigBad having a VillainousBreakdown, maybe it's an exasperated character on the verge of anger, or maybe it's a character that simply wants to be left alone and/or can't stand sound. One thing's for sure: They don't want to hear anything, and what's the way to have the other characters shut up?
5
6Of course! Shouting: "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!" and nothing else.
7
8Some times, a character can go so far into the DespairEventHorizon or in such a fit of rage that that they won't listen to reason, ever. Any arguments or maybe even talking to them will lead them to break down and yell at them to shut up, many many times. This could also be a habit of particularly stubborn or prideful people, a KnightTemplar or WellIntentionedExtremist that thinks they're in the right.
9
10In a work with a lighter tone or in a less dramatic moment, it's also be caused by an embarrassed character after being taunted or teased. It's also common of {{Tsundere}} characters.
11
12This could cause, or be the cause of, said character to experience a mental and/or emotional breakdown, losing all will to fight, preferring to shout at others to shut up.
13
14Compare to PreemptiveShutUp, ShutUpKirk, VillainousBreakdown (If it's an antagonistic character doing it), ShutUpHannibal (If it's a protagonist doing it). See also: BigShutUp. Overlaps with IgnoringBySinging if the character is simply trying to drown out the unwelcome speech.

(The spell would be reversed by saying "start talking," also while wearing the amulet.) She misuses the amulet for selfish gains until she realizes (far too late) that perhaps it was to be a gift to get world leaders to defuse a world nuclear crisis ... as one night, while she is relaxing in a bubble bath, war breaks out, and the only way to stop it is by enforcing the trope. At the last possible instant, she shouts out "SHUT UP!!!!" Then, says rapid-fire style to make sure time is frozen, the words "shut up" several times ... and then realizes she is trapped in an instant of time between panic and mass destruction of southern California.
