  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE.

  • For being a relatively minor character, Higashizawa from The World Ends With You gets a big one. "You're dead. Didn't you know?"
    • Joshua's got to have the best, though. "It was me, Neku. I'm Shibuya's Composer." And let's not forget Kitaniji's "Your points have been tallied, and the Player to be reborn decided. Congratulations...Shiki Misaki." and, slightly later on, "This time, you’re playing for...Shiki Misaki.".
    • The Another Day Secret Report, obtained by reading all of the previous ones, and defeating the Bonus Boss. By reading the others, you'd discovered the existence of a Fallen Angel who had aided Minamimoto, and learned that the writer of the Reports was Hanekoma, who is an Angel who is looking to find and stop the Fallen Angel. However, when you read the Another Day report, he says that there's a reason he doesn't want to meet up with the alternate version of himself: "You see, I am the Fallen Angel who taught Minamimoto how to refine Taboo Noise. Minamimoto owes his successful rebirth to the corrections I made to his flawed Taboo refinery sigil. I must hide in Pork City for fear that my alternate self in this world may report me on sight."
  • Bioshock, "Stop, would you kindly? 'Would you kindly'...powerful phrase...Familiar phrase?"
    • Swiftly followed by:

 It's time to end this little masquerade. There ain't no Atlas, kid. Never was. Fella in my line of work takes on a variety of aliases. Hell, once I was even a Chinaman for six months. But, you've been a sport, so I guess I owe you a little honesty. The name's Frank Fontaine.

 Shadow Naoto: But a name doesn’t change the truth, it doesn’t let you cross the barrier between the sexes. How could you become an ideal man, when you were never male to begin with...?

Cquote2
  • F.E.A.R.: Paxton Fettel's words "You and I were born from the same mother."
    • Technically, it's not spoken, but toward the very end of the game, the camera pans down to show the name on the Origin project folder: Alma Wade. That one word changes the context of about 90% of the entire game.
    • After the credits, the very last words in the game. "There is some good news, however. The first prototype was a complete success." Spoken by Genevieve Aristide, the president of Armacham.

      • Define reappears. He's visible in one of the portals you can go into while fighting Yogg, his voice is heard early in Icecrown Citadel, and his body is chained above the Frozen Throne all throughout your fight with the Lich King. All in all, that one had plenty of foreshadowing.
    • Loken has one final line to add insult to injury after capturing Thorim

  • STALKER: "What you need is here. Come to me."
    • Also, in the true ending: "There was a mistake. Your mission was to kill yourself."
    • An earlier one that sets up the revelation from the true ending:
      • Doc:"Strelok, hey come on, man, wake up. That's better. You had me worried there for a second. What the Hell, man, you lose your memory or something?"
  • Castlevania: Chronicles of Sorrow':
    • Soma:"I am... Dracula."
  • Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: EU SUNT DRACUL!

  • Transformers: War for Cybertron: "OMEGA SUPREME: ONLINE."
  • Umineko no Naku Koro ni: This game will not be granted a happy ending. Consider that the red truth is the Language of Truth.
    • In Alliance of the Golden Witch this is even used with what the character can´t say when Battler tries to say that he is the son of Asumu (his mother) and can't, effectively proving that Asumu ISN'T his mother, causing alot of dropped jaws
  • Final Fantasy IX has two, both from Garland:
    • "Twelve years ago, I lost one of my most prized Genomes. I created him and sent him to Gaia to disrupt the cycle of souls there. You are that Genome."
    • "I constructed the Genomes to be vessels for the souls of Terra when they awaken. But 24 years ago, I gave life to a Genome that was very much like you. His will was too strong to make him into a proper vessel, and I even considered discarding him. But then I thought that I should put his strength to use. I sent that Genome as my servant, to disrupt the cycle of souls on Gaia. The one I sent to Gaia might also be called your brother...and his name is Kuja."
  • Final Fantasy XIII: L'cie? Me? Ha ha ha ha...oh, child, perish the thought. I am MORE THAN THAT! I am fal'Cie. My name is Barthandelus. Voice of the Sanctum, and Lord-Sovereign of the Cocoon fal'Cie. Your kind feared the darkness, so we gave you light. You begged us for the Purge, and did it not come to pass? Now you spurn our counsel? You must learn your place!
    • Earlier we get two in one: "I'm from Gran Pulse. The world below you all hate so much. My partner and I had turned to crystal there and gone to sleep. The reason Cocoon's in such an uproar is the same reason you're here now. Vanille and I woke up."

The Hero: "Why did you want us to come here?"

Darkrai: "I just wanted to have a talk with you."

Hero: "Talk with you? I don't even know you!"

Darkrai: "So you don't know me right? Well, I know you."

Hero: "Why do you know all about me? What did you do?"

Darkrai: "When you and Grovyle are both traveling to here together, there appears to be a little accident. This accident actually separated you from Grovyle and consequently turned you into a Pokémon. Remember the accident?"

Hero: "Why do you remember the accident? Who caused it?"

Darkrai: "Yes, I remember the accident. That accident was caused by...me..."

Robert: Nine men he sent you to kill, yes...the nine who guarded the treasure’s secret?

Altaïr: What of it?

Robert: It wasn't nine who found the treasure, Assassin. Not nine, but ten.

Altaïr: A tenth? None may live who carry the secret. Give me his name.

Robert: Oh, but you know him well...and I doubt very much you'd take his life...as willingly as you’ve taken mine.

Announcer: Caroline deleted.

Cquote2
    • The Perpetual Testing Initiative we have one given after the "Computer!Cave" "arc" that completely turns the notion of "Cave Prime" on its head:
Cquote1

 Cave Prime: Whoa! Chariots chariots. For some reason, some of the audio was bleeding through in this universe. Don't know if you were catching the subtext there, but that computer Cave is crazy. So: Greg was right. As of now, we are cancelling the genetic lifeform disk operating system initiative.

  • Sly 2:

Cquote2
  • In Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy, you unlock the Confession of The Creator scenario (Scenario 000) after completing Treachery of the Gods (Scenario 012) and Light to All (Scenario 013). Those latter two are numbered after the "cycle" of war in which it takes place. As per the story of the original game, the heroes break the cycle and go home after the 13th cycle. In Confessions of the Creator, which doesn't seem to take place anywhere in the ordinary story, the Mured Moogle (Cid of the Lufaine) tells you his story as you make your final approach to Chaos. In it, he casually mentions that in the 13th cycle, everyone on Cosmos's side, including the goddess herself, died and were purified. You may write this off as perhaps a misnumbering. Maybe there was a 0th cycle or something. And then he talks about an 18th cycle.
  • Final Fantasy IV looks like it sets one up when Cecil and company travel to the moon and meet FuSoYa, when he reveals that his brother, KluYa, was Cecil's father. But that's just to set up the real Wham Line - Golbez: "My father? His name was...KluYa".
  • Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors: Unfortunately, you're wrong. Actually, I'm Santa. This was in one of the previews, no less, but it does not mean what you may think it means.
    • From the Safe Ending: "No. You misunderstand. You haven't lost. I... have lost."
    • "The answer to that is easy. He knew because I knew." And the line itself is only part of the wham - it's said by the narration.
  • 999's sequel, Virtue's Last Reward, has some as well: for example, Quark casually drops this bombshell in Tenmyouji's route. As a bonus, it's not a wham unless you've played certain other routes or the first game... but if you have, it makes things about ten times more complicated.
Cquote1

 Quark: (referring to a photo of young Akane from 999): "Oh, she was the old man's 'first love'."

Cquote2
  • The ending of Mega Man X 3: "Dr. Light's plan for him will finally be revealed. Unknown to X, his destiny has already been decided. To save mankind, he must destroy Zero."
  • In the endgame of Final Fantasy I, the Warriors of Light journey to the world of 2000 years in the past, to confront the demon Chaos. They descend deep into the then-pristine Chaos Shrine...and encounter a disturbingly familiar face:
Cquote1

 Garland: Do you remember me? I was once known as a knight of Cornelia.

Cquote2

 Tidus: "If guardians do their job well, summoners will be safe!" (Silence) "Right?" "RIGHT?"

Cquote1

 Tenshi: What are you talking about? I'm saying I was bored out of my mind! So I came down to the surface and watched you playing with all kinds of different youkai.

Reimu: I wouldn't exactly call it playing, though.

Tenshi: Seeing that made me think, "I want to play disaster resolution too." So I caused one. A disaster, I mean.

Cquote2
  • Etrian Odyssey. All this time you thought you were in a medieval world of sorts. Then comes the fifth Stratum, named Lost Shinjuku. And yes, it's referring to Shinjuku, Japan.
  • ‘’Shin Megami Tensei V’’: While these are also Lahmu’s last words (which is Lahmu lamenting that the Nahobino would plausibly recreate the world instead of him), these words also more or less confirm that Lahmu does not truly care about anyone but himself. That includes Sahori, the girl who he supposedly loved and merged with.
Cquote1
Nooo…it was me…I was the one…who would recreate the world.
—Lahmu’s final words
Cquote2
  • In The Reconstruction, everything looks like it'll be fine and the world will be saved, but this banks on the fact that the third Watcher hasn't messed anything up. But that's okay, you're still on schedule and know where he is...or do you?

Enemies you've been fighting against, supposedly 'Mechanized Aliens', were actually. our (sic) guys, the missing battlefleet you learned about in the academy. You were killing our guys without knowing it! But I planned that all along! And your death...would be a nice finishing touch to my whole scheme. My special forces are the best of the best and they will be welcoming you with fierce fier (sic) power. See You in Hell!"

Cquote2
