14	* ''SignatureScene/DragonBall''
15	[[/index]]
16	----
17	* ''Manga/{{AKIRA}}'':
18	** The one scene where [[http://kotaku.com/everyone-wants-to-ride-motorcycles-like-in-akira-877851402 Kaneda stops his motorcycle]]. It's the single most famous scene that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9hCzjBc7Q4&t=11s has been homaged countless times]] and will be remembered forever in pop culture. Bonus points if they use their foot as a brake.
19	** The climatic scene of Tetsuo's mutation, infamous and often parodied for not only its [[MemeticMutation memetic]] exchanges between Kaneda and Tetsuo as they [[SayMyName scream each other's names]], but also for the grotesque extent of BodyHorror that the latter goes through.
20	* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'': The Colossal Titan's head and hand creeping over Wall Maria is the very first scene that sets the plot in motion, and is prominent in the series' marketing; it's also most representative of the story's main theme (i.e., a Titan invasion that breaks a century-long peace granted by the Walls, and the vastly overwhelmed humans making a last stand against them.
21	* ''Manga/{{Beastars}}'': The fountain scene, given its duality as a "shit gets real" moment and as a starting point for the main relationship.
22	* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': The first time Guts is seen using his iconic weapon, the [[{{BFS}} Dragonslayer]], and Puck's narration describing it ("It was much too big to be called a sword. Massive, thick, heavy and far too rough. Indeed it was like a heap of raw iron"). The description in particular becomes a reocurring thing throughout the story.
23	* ''Franchise/{{Beyblade}}'': The flashback in ''Anime/MetalFightBeyblade'' showing Moses parting the Red Sea with a Beyblade. It's such a RefugeInAudacity moment on par with ''Franchise/YuGiOh'''s "Ancient Egyptians invented card games" that even non-Beyblade fans are aware of this through PopculturalOsmosis.
24	* ''Manga/DeathNote'':
25	** The first episode's montage of Light killing multiple criminals in quick succession. It serves as the catalyst for Light’s descent into madness and features “Low Of Solipsism”, a SignatureSong of the anime.
26	** Ryuk appearing in front of Light and seeing Light’s note full of names, which serves as a memorable image from their first meeting.
27	** "I'll take a potato chip... (deep breaths) AND EAT IT!", a line from a scene deemed as iconic due to the sheer amount of MundaneMadeAwesome it exudes.[[note]]This almost exclusively applies to the dubbed version[[/note]]
28	** Matsuda’s ADayInTheLimeLight in the Yotsuba HQ, which is most commonly cited as one of the most memorable moments for an EnsembleDarkhorse character like him.
29	** Mikami killing Demegawa and his cronies, with DELETE. The scene raises many questions, and is a shocking revelation that Light has recruited another person to be Kira.
30	** The laughing scene. You know the one. The Italian version of this scene gets the most love, but the English one is also iconic.
31	* ''Manga/ChainsawMan'':
32	** It's hard to discuss the manga or anime at all without the memetic panel of Denji setting his first goal beyond basic survival:
33	-->'''Denji''': I want to touch some boobs.
34	** The entire Hell sequence during the International Assassin arc qualifies, but especially the appearance of the first [[EldritchAbomination Primal Fear devil]] in the story, the Darkness Devil. Wordlessly walking through a corridor of [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext bisected, praying astronauts]], Darkness effortlessly tears the team apart until they can just barely escape.
35	* ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'': The entire fight between Tanjiro and Rui during that same episode, as it quickly started making rounds on the internet after the episode first aired. Not only is the fight well-animated and emotionally charged, the story beats behind it also encapsulate the series' themes very well.
36	* For ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' Impmon's HeelFaceTurn and transformation into Beelzemon Blast Mode is highly regarded, to the point that this episode, and this episode alone, was rerun on Japanese TV to promote the Blu-Ray box.
37	* ''Anime/DragonQuestYourStory'': The sudden plot twist near the end of the movie where it’s revealed that the world and its characters are computer simulations in a VR game, which completely overshadowed the rest of the movie as it was otherwise a mostly faithful adaptation of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV''.
38	* If you ever heard of ''Anime/FZeroGPLegend'', it was most likely due to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujC7rxFVZ18 the "Falcon Punch" scene]]. That scene became so iconic of the series (both anime ''and'' game) that it quickly achieved MemeticMutation status.
39	* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist:'' The scene where Ed and Al learn that Shou Tucker fused his daughter, Nina, and dog, Alexander, into a chimera. This moment is remembered not only for how utterly horrifying it was, but for also generally being considered the moment the manga [[GrowingTheBeard grew its beard]].
40	* ''Manga/GrandBlue''
41	** A typical {{Seinen}} story about college life is instantly undone in a two-page spread of the first chapter of the {{Manga}}, where the protagonist sees the male members of a diving club half- to completely naked playing drinking games, thus establishing the comedic insanity the audience are to expect.
42	** In another moment featuring the protagonist, he's tricked into drinking what seems to be a glass of water, but following a {{Beat}}, he checks what he drank with a lighter. When the drink catches fire (because it's actually vodka), he throws the glass to the ground in a fit of rage. This sets the tone on the amount of {{Troll}}ing pulled between the characters against one another.
43	* ''Anime/Interstella5555'': The opening music video set to "One More Time". In some countries it was the only part of the film to be shown on television.
44	* {{Franchise/Gundam}}:
45	** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'': "Last Shooting", where Amuro Ray uses the eponymous [[AMechByAnyOtherName mobile suit]] to fire one final shot at Char Aznable in the Zeong; both machines end up destroying one another. This one is famous enough that it gets {{Homage}}d throughout the ''Gundam'' saga. In particular, ''Mobile Suit Gundam F90'' recreates the exact scene, while ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWingEndlessWaltz'', though not an outwardly resemblance, has the Wing Zero Custom pull out its [[{{BFG}} Twin Buster Rifle]] aimed at the Brussels presidential bunker, with the scene still called "Last Shooting". Even the video games such as ''VideoGame/GundamVSSeries'' and ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' get in on the homage like in all of the ''Gundam Vs Games'' and ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ Second Super Robot Wars Z]]'', where the [[AttackDrone Fin Funnel]] attack of Amuro's [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Nu Gundam]] ends with the machine in the same stance in the Last Shooting.
46	** ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'' has two scenes:
47	*** The first is the death of Four Murasame. It's widely considered to be the biggest TearJerker in the series, and established the series tradition of Gundam protagonists losing loved ones (although ''Mobile Suit Gundam'' did it first, ''Zeta Gundam'' turned it into a staple). It also marks a poignant piece of CharacterDevelopment for Kamille, who begins to value life and hate war all the more after it happens.
48	*** The second is the Waverider Crash, where Kamille rams [[BigBad Scirocco's]] mobile suit and kills him. It's well-known for showing just how potent the Zeta Gundam's biosensor can be when communing with Newtypes, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Riders in the Skies]] playing, and for generally being a big SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. It also ends with Scirocco's dying MindRape of Kamille, which causes the series, already one of the darkest in the franchise, to have a DownerEnding.
49	** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam0080WarInThePocket'': The fight between Bernie and Chris, where, through a clever use of planning and tactics, Bernie manages to ''win'' in his fight to disable the [[SuperPrototype Gundam Alex]], despite being limited to [[MechaMook a run-of-the-mill Zaku]]. It's also remembered because not only does [[HeroicSacrifice Bernie die]] (with the line of [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath his remains looking like hamburger]] becoming a SignatureLine), but the [[SenselessSacrifice senseless nature of it]], because the Zeon commander planning to [[NukeEm nuke the colony to stop the Gundam Alex]] was arrested beforehand, which Bernie didn't know.
50	** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'': The battle between Shinn in the Impulse and Kira in the Freedom. The fight is one huge SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Shinn, as with a series of unconventional tactics, he manages to [[DefeatingtheUndefeatable defeat the Freedom]]. Highlights of the fight, including [[ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks throwing his shield to bounce his beam off of it]], separating his machine to dodge a strike, and ejecting his Silhouette Pack when it gets damaged and then blowing it up, appear regularly in video games featuring the Impulse such as ''VideoGame/GundamVsSeries'' and ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', and Shinn's line, "I'm the one who's going to defeat you! Here! Today!" has become a SignatureLine of his.
51	* ''Manga/HajimeNoIppo'': Ippo's completed Dempsey Roll against Sendou at the end of the Japanese Featherweight Championship has become one of the most iconic scenes. It's had {{Shout Out}}s in games like Super Street Fighter IV and Tekken for starters.
52	* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'':
53	** Keiichi's delusions of Rena from ''Onikakushi'', especially the "Usoda!" and [[EvilLaugh laughing]] scenes. In fact, it's such a memorable scene, people assumed everyone in that show was an AxeCrazy person when it's not the case.
54	** Rena vs Keiichi on top of the school. The visual novels even include it in almost every opening.
55	* ''Manga/HunterXHunter'': Gon's ''epic'' FreakOut when Pitou begs to be spared so s/he can heal Komugi. Notable for most fans for just how [[NightmareFuel terrifying]] and [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness out-of-character]] it is.
56	* ''Manga/ICantUnderstandWhatMyHusbandIsSaying'':
57	** Hajime greeting Kaoru's friends while wearing a horse mask,
58	** Kaoru crying into her husband Hajime after finding out they're expecting.
59	* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'':
60	** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Phantom Blood]]'': Dio Brando stealing Erina's SacredFirstKiss and gloating about it is the best-known scene of this part thanks to the huge amounts of [[MemeticMutation memes]] based on it, to the point that a non-fan could assume that "But it was me, Dio!" is his catchphrase.
61	** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Battle Tendency]]'':
62	*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDEbsZpweDo The Pillar Men awakening]] became a huge meme, to the point that [[PopCulturalOsmosis even non-fans might have seen memes about buff men posing while "Aztec Dubstep" music plays]].
63	*** Caesar Zeppeli's death [[ItWasHisSled is widely known]] thanks to Joseph's [[NarmCharm over the top reaction]] to finding the body, yelling Caesar's name at the top of his lungs while tears stream down his face.
64	** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'': The final fight with DIO is well-known, in particular for being the source of one of the most iconic time-stop abilities in fiction. Prior to the 2012 anime making the series more prominent outside of Japan, the one thing Westerners were likely to know about ''[=JoJo=]'' was that the villain is named DIO and he crushes the hero with a road roller (or an oil tanker, if they only watched the OVA).
65	** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Diamond is Unbreakable]]'':
66	*** Josuke using Crazy Diamond to punch Okuyasu's spaghetti. In context, he's using it to draw out what he believes to be an enemy [[FightingSpirit Stand]], but the sheer ridiculousness of the scene out of context and Josuke's declaration of "I'm gonna fix that spaghetti!" has led it to becoming the most famous [[ItMakesSenseInContext out of context]] scene in the entire series.
67	*** Among western fans, the scene of Kira eating lunch in the park with a woman's severed hand[[note]]Kira has a fetish for hands that causes him to kill women, take their hands and act like they're his girlfriends[[/note]] is this, due to the infamous [[BlindIdiotTranslation "Duwang" translation]], with this scene being where the translation gets its name.("Duwang" is how Morioh, the town in which the Part is set, was translated.)
68	** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Golden Wind]]'':
69	*** Bucciarati, while questioning Giorno about his attack on Leaky-Eye Luca, licks his sweat to find out whether he's lying, which allows him to discover that Giorno is the culprit. This scene often ends up getting referenced or parodied in various ways.
70	*** Giorno healing Mista after their fight against Ghiaccio, due to the extreme amounts of HoYay within the scene.
71	*** The [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown 7-page beatdown on Cioccolata]] (or 30 seconds in the anime) administered by Giorno is one of the most famous beatdowns in anime history.
72	** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Stone Ocean]]'': Pucci effortlessly killing the main cast, sans Emporio, and resetting the universe. Arguably the closest the series has gotten to TheBadGuyWins since ''Phantom Blood''.
73	** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureSteelBallRun Steel Ball Run]]'': Gyro tells Hot Pants off by saying "Eat shit, asshole! Fall off your horse!", and later singing a song about mozzarella pizza.
74	** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureJoJolion JoJolion]]'': Josuke's NakedOnArrival introduction and Yasuho noticing his [[BizarreHumanBiology four testicles]].
75	* ''Anime/LupinIII'':
76	** ''[[Anime/LupinIIIPilotFilm The pilot film]]'':
77	*** Lupin in a SpyCatsuit outrunning police gunfire while under spotlights, all the while flashing a smirk. The scene perfectly encapsulates three of Lupin's key traits: his excellence as a thief, lack of subtlety and cocky confidence. This scene has shown up [[InternalHomage many times]] in [[Franchise/LupinIII other Lupin media]].
78	*** Fujiko riding her bike in front of the sunset has also been homaged many times, most notably Anime/LupinIIIPart1's ending, Anime/LupinIIIPartII's ending 'Love Theme' and in Anime/LupinIIITheWomanCalledFujikoMine's first episode.
79	** ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'':
80	*** The car chase during the first act. Easily one of Miyazaki's finest sequences, and one rumored to have been called one of the greatest car chases put to film by Creator/StevenSpielberg himself.
81	*** Lupin and Jigen trying to steal a ball of spaghetti off each other's plates while simultaneously having a conversation. It's even referenced in other anime and manga, like ''Manga/{{Trigun}}''.
82	* ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'' has Nanoha walking OutOfTheInferno and being called a devil. This could also be considered the most iconic scene in the franchise, as it gave birth to Nanoha's FanNickname.
83	** The most famous scene from the seventh entry in the franchise, ''Anime/VividStrike'', features Rinne, the DarkMagicalGirl of the series, origin story as said girl with the 'sad eyes' that every series in the franchise has, starting down the path to being said character archetype by dealing with her school bullies [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown by brutally breaking their wrists and slamming them into the lockers and the floor until they bled.]]
84	* There's a surprising number of people who know of the "falling kiss" scene from ''Manga/{{MAR}}'' without knowing what show it came from.
85	* ''Literature/MariaWatchesOverUs'': The scene where Sachiko fixes the neckerchief of Yumi's SailorFuku at the start of the anime is still probably the most iconic scene in all of the YuriGenre.
86	* ''Manga/{{Monster}}'': Tenma and Johan meeting for the first time in decades, followed by Johan killing Adolf Junkers in cold blood, which demonstrates how much of an irredeemable bastard Johan is.
87	* ''Anime/Moomin1990'': The Groke appearing on the Moominhouse's porch in "Tiny Guests", scaring Sniff and many viewers.
88	* Manga/{{Naruto}}:
89	** Naruto sitting by himself on a swing, watching all the kids who graduated celebrating with their parents, while he is an orphan who failed for the third time. An image the series often returns to, usually to show how far he's come.
90	** Naruto discussing his aspirations over a bowl of ramen with Iruka. Notable for being the first time he states his intention of [[SeriesGoal being Hokage]].
91	** The demon fox inside of Naruto awakening as Naruto furiously declares his intent to kill Haku at the climax of the Zabuza arc.
92	** Gaara vs Rock Lee is undoubtedly the best remembered fight in Part 1, and probably the most well remembered fight in the series period when compared to its significance within the story, in a similar vein to [[Manga/DragonBall Piccolo vs 17]].
93	* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': The [[LeaveTheCameraRunning long take]] between Rei and Asuka [[UncomfortableElevatorMoment in the elevator]] is one of the strangest directing choices in the show and has received quite a few [[ShoutOut homages in other series]].
94	** ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion The End of Evangelion]]'': When most people about "that scene" they are referring to the infamous opening scene, where Shinji masturbates over a comatose Asuka.
95	*** The final scene, where Shinji and Asuka are the last two humans left on Earth, alone together on a barren shore next to a sea of LCL, is so iconic that it's on almost every DVD cover for the film.
96	* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'':
97	** Ash and Pikachu seeing Ho-oh for the first time. This Pokemon was new and hadn't been in any of the games when this occurred, so nobody knew what it was. This had fans guessing, speculating, and wondering for years until it was fully revealed. It was the first of a trend of showing new Pokemon in the anime before the games they appear in come out. Now this is expected, but at the time...what a shocker.
98	** Just prior to the Ho-oh encounter, Pikachu saving Ash from a flock of Spearow, officially kickstarting their [[HeterosexualLifePartners everlasting]] [[TrueCompanions friendship]] that carries over to this day.
99	** Latios' spirit saying goodbye to Latias in ''Anime/PokemonHeroes''. Extra shocking, because this is the first time ''a Pokemon's death is not reversed in some way.''
100	** The battle between Infernape and Electivire in the Sinnoh League is the signature fight of the entire ''Diamond and Pearl'' series, with the moment of Infernape activating Blaze in a massive inferno towards the climax being its signature scene, capping off an entire saga of one of Ash's most intense rivalries.
101	** The subsequent battle with Tobias has Sceptile's defeat of Darkrai, a scene that didn't just come to define Sceptile as one of Ash's best after defeating a Darkrai that has torn its way through Sinnoh and half of Ash's team already without a loss, but a bright spot of Ash's skill in the midst of [[DiabolusExMachina one of the most infamous means of eliminating Ash from a league]].
102	** Serena ''kissing'' Ash in the last episode of the XY series. Notable for breaking the NoHuggingNoKissing rule of the anime, and solidifying Amourshipping as one of most iconic ships in the franchise.
103	** Ash finally winning a League and the ensuing trophy celebration, simply because he totally deserved it after so many failures and ridiculous losses.
104	* ''Anime/PokemonOrigins'': Red's Charmander screaming bloody murder when Blue's Squirtle uses Bite on its neck. This is a brutal scene in the Japanese version because of Charmander's voice actor. It even shows Charmander's flame getting weaker, which if you read the Pokedex entries you'll know that means it's ''nearing death.'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adFPJOLB-fc Pokemon battles are not usually portrayed as this violent and disturbing.]]
105	* In ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure'', the part of the opening song, where Cure Black and Cure White jump away from an explosion, with smoke and dust are just right behind them. It has been repeated in many ''Anime/PrettyCureAllStars'' movies, with ''New Stage'' tops it with ''all 28 of the Cures'' reenact the scene, and ''F'' goes futher by including all ''79'' Cures doing it at the start of the final battle.
106	* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'': One particular scene got so many parodies it has its own Website/{{Danbooru}} tag: the one in episode 3 where Mami dies a gory (though [[GoryDiscretionShot only partially seen]]) death by decapitation, as it marks the point where the series [[DisguisedHorrorStory fully drops the cutesy facade]] and becomes the TropeCodifier for the MagicalGirlGenreDeconstruction it is famous for being.
107	* ''Anime/SamuraiFlamenco'': The end of episode 7, when A drugged man turns into a half gorilla, half guillotine creature and decapitates some cops, in a show that had been very realistic and lighthearted until that moment.
108	* ''Anime/SchoolDays'' is best known for the highly violent and disturbing ending, in which Sekai murders Makoto for dumping her, followed in short succession by a deeply insane Kotonoha killing Sekai and taking Makoto's severed head with her on a sailboat.
109	* ''Manga/SpyXFamily'':
110	** Loid Forger proposing to Yor Briar with [[ItMakesSenseInContext a hand grenade's pin in lieu of a ring while said hand grenade explodes behind them]] while they're on the run from some criminals that were following Loid, occuring in Chapter 2/Episode 2. It's become an iconic image of how their MarriageOfConvenience starts off.
111	** The image of [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spyxfamily_family_image.png the Forger family sitting at a table]], with corpses piled up behind Yor and guns and masks behind Loid, and Anya clearly looking at the latter. It was used in an opening narration for the manga and anime, setting the tone of the manga about people having sides of themselves that they never show to anyone.
112	** Anya's smirk that she gives Damian in her attempt to brush off his initial bullying has become iconic enough that 'Anya face' is basically a term for this smirk. In the same vein, her epic MegatonPunch she gives Damian when he pushes her too far.
113	* ''Manga/TomorrowsJoe'': The ending scene, in which the titular protagonist collapses at his corner stool and is all but said to have [[PeacefulInDeath peacefully passed away]] as a result of his final fight. Many other series since then have paid tribute to ''Tomorrow's Joe'' by having different characters replicate the manner in which Joe slumps over.
114	* ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'': Vash's disastrous attempt at driving is one of the more iconic comic relief moments in ''Trigun Maximum'' and frequently depicted in fanart. As for more serious scenes, the scene of Vash and Wolfwood drinking on a couch, with the kids at Wolfwood's orphanage welcoming him home and dropping confetti on him from the sky [[spoiler:as he dies]] is the most remembered and effective scene from the manga and frequently shows up in fanart.
115	* Franchise/YuGiOh has several across the various entries in the franchise.
116	** ''[[Anime/YuGiOh Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel Monsters]]'' has a few.
117	*** First is the summoning of Exodia and using it's instant win condition against Kaiba, being the end of the first duel in the first international series.
118	*** The second is the climax of the Doma arc duel with Weevil where Dark Yugi, having reached his RageBreakingPoint, using 'Berserker Soul' to strike Weevil again, and again, and again, and again after one taunt too many until Tea stops him.
119	*** The scene where Dark Yugi/Atem leaves for the Afterlife could also count, and giving a last thumbs up.
120	** ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'':
121	*** Yusei beating up several of Goodwin's guards with his bare hands to confront Jack. It even survives into the dub with only flashes of light despite being explicit physical violence in a Yu-Gi-Oh series.
122	*** The first Synchro Summoning of Majestic Star Dragon, the first Accel Synchro Summoning of Shooting Star Dragon, and the Limit Over Accel Synchro Summoning of Shooting Quasar Dragon are without a doubt the most iconic and most remembered Synchro Summons of ''the entire franchise''.
123	** ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'':
124	*** [[TheRival Kaito's]] introduction episode where he casually stops time and eviscerates Yuma in a duel.
125	*** Yuma and Astral doing their first Zexal Morph and making C39: Utopia Ray.
126	*** Kaito and Yuma vs Trey and Quattro, ending with Kaito's first summon of Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon.
127	*** Kaito and Mizael's final match happening on the moon, while seeing him gain his own Number in Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon.
128	*** Yuma and Astral's final duel, particularly Yuma creating his own Number in Future Number 0: Utopic Future as the capstone to his character arc.
129	** ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'':
130	*** The turning point of the first match of the series when Yuya's pendant changing Yuya's cards into Pendulum Cards and him performing his first Pendulum Summon.
131	*** Reiji using Fusion, Synchro and Xyz Summoning for the first time on-screen, which is also the first time those three summoning methods were used in the franchise by the same duelist. The fact that he also Pendulum Summons during that duel is just the icing on the cake.
132	*** Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon's first summon, accompanied by the Awakened Yuya shouting "There is no next turn!". While this card would only appear twice, the monster stole the show in its debut thanks to its awesome design, powerful effect and Yuya's burning rage
133	*** Supreme King Dragon Z-ARC's summoning. People will often clip this whenever they summon Z-ARC in a duel in real life.
134	** ''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS'' has one in the dub where a Knight of Hanoi criticizes side character Naoki Sima for dabbing in public, used to show the quality of the dub's humor and wit after several previously poor efforts.
