They're combining at very high speeds, so they're likely to crash and burn if they don't know exactly which form they're supposed to be combining into, a lesson more than a few Getter Test Pilots learned fatally. In the case of Getter Robo though, this is what they do at the start of the transformation, justifying it.Three words: "CHANGE GETTER EMPEROR!!!" Also known as " the voice that quakes the universe itself.".Then again Ryoma compensated by holding his "Getter" part of the phrase for four freaking seconds.Getter Robo, every single incarnation up 'til Armageddon.In Tekkaman Blade II, Tekkamen Vesna, Sommer and Hiver carry on the tradition. Tekkaman Blade's titular character did this nearly every time.And it's very odd when Volfogg does it, as he's often working alone and has no one to announce it to. All of them, both transforming and combining, heroes and villains. According to the Mentor Mascot it's about "feeling and etiquette". Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! has "The Prince, Battle Lover !" The boys even lampshade the pointlessness of the trope in episode 5.Nurse Angel Ririka SOS ends the heroine's transformation sequence with this: "Nurse Angel! Messenger from heaven!".The manga version of Princess Tutu has the titular magical girl stating her name after every transformation-"I am Princess Tutu! I dance to guide your heart!" In the anime, she generally doesn't do this.Sailor Moon Crystal does this with all the Inner Guardians.You generally only hear the Inner Senshi other than Sailor Moon delivering it during their Once a Season focus episode. In the first Sailor Moon anime, all of the Inner Senshi and Sailor Pluto have their own In the Name of the Moon speech that announces their form, and Sailors Uranus and Neptune share one.The anime changed it so the phrase was just for transforming, and they just used their regular names. Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch: " Pearl Voice!" Well, in the manga, at least.Ojamajo Doremi has "Pretty Witch -chi!".As an aside, the name of Chacha's Magical Girl Warrior form is Magical Princess, not Holy Up as a lot of people seem to think. Akazukin Chacha has "Let Love, Courage and Hope-Magical Princess, Holy Up!".The Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GO!GO! versions are practically this trope and In the Name of the Moon combined.Every Pretty Cure team does this, individually and in groups.Mode changes are only announced when already in battle gear. Though the Transformation Sequence itself goes without it.Lyrical Nanoha's machines announce their own mode changes, such as "Barrier Jacket: Aggressor Mode.".The ur-magical girl example, from the original transforming Magical Girl: "Ai no senshi, Cutey Honey da!".After all, what better way to get young kids to remember what toys to ask their parents for other than having the show's characters outright shout it at them? You may notice that this trope springs up the most in Merchandise-Driven shows, or programs that just generally have an associated toyline this isn't an accident. For another variation, the hero himself needn't announce his form change, but his commander, his spotter, or a piece of machinery can do it for him.
Again, Super Robots do this often, simply because it's easy to Hand Wave or at least poke fun at it, and because it's style. Very much standard operation procedure for Humongous Mecha of the transforming or combining variety, Magical Girls with long, sparkly transformations, and any Tokusatsu hero worth their salt.Īlternatively, the name of the form can be the activation word for the transformation, or at least part of it. What's the most stylish way to end a Transformation Sequence, a shapeshift, or a mode change? For some heroes, it's simply to shout the name of their new form right as the Stock Footage ends.
