This hand of mine glows with an awesome power.
Its burning grip tells me to defeat you!
Take this! My love! My anger!
AND ALL MY SORROW!
SHINING FINGER!

In the name of God, impure souls of the living dead shall be banished into eternal Damnation. Amen.

I am invincible!
There is no one who can defeat my Shadow Skill!
My one single blow has no equal!
-- Elle Ragu, 'Shadow Skill'

Yes, I know that last one isn't very good. But I remember it because of the TV series. Those lines are always recited as the heroine performs an epic smackdown. Y'get the idea, right? Everything seems to stop as she does her power-up sequence and says her thing. Total genre convention, yes?
The kicker, though, comes when we're introduced to a new villain of the week. We're told he's incredibly powerful. How powerful?
Elle leaps into the air. "I AM INVINCI---"
G punches her in the face.
"I AM INVINCIBLE! THERE IS NO ONE WHO CAN DEFEAT MY SHAD---"
*KAPOW!* G punches her again.
Elle o_O;;; "He can interrupt my Shadow Skill technique? Impossible! WHAT IS THIS?!!!!"
