This Can't Be Happening (Green Ideas)

Product Information

Both Leon (first encounter) and Pigma (second encounter) of Star Wolf exclaim "This can't be happening!" when defeated. Kuyou: No! He lives?! But that's impossible! I saw what my flame did to him! His body was burned to a crisp! THIS CANNOT BE! THE SCHOOL MUST BE CLOSED! YOU ARE NOT FIT TO BE THE PRINCIPAL ANY LONGER! YOU ARE TOO OLD AND YOUR ALZHEIMERS IS DANGEROUS! YOU MUST RETRY OR VOLDEMORT WILL KILL YOUR STUDENTS!" Said to Dumbledore by Doris Rumbridge (Dolores Umbridge) after the Ministry thinks Dumbledore isn't doing enough against Voldemort. The Immortal Game: Terra gets this twice. First, when the Elements of Harmony are reignited during the Second Battle of Ponyville, and then when she realizes Twilight's succeeded in defeating Titan.

Several members of Organization XIII, most noticeably Xigbar ("I lost... me!?), Larxene ("I'm fading!? NO, this isn't the way I...I won't allow-!"), and Demyx ( "NO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!") As he's being pulled into a limbo between dimensions, Talgeese cries, "This can't be happening!" Before admitting, "...Well, I suppose it could, but it shouldn't be happening!" At the start of their fight, Hordy Jones gets this when he realizes just how powerful Luffy really is when he drops half his forces with Conqueror's Haki alone. Giroro from Sgt. Frog winds up catching this phrase from an enemy who thought he'd killed him. In this case, however, " Sonna bakana!" might be better translated as "This is madness!", since Giroro's response is to scream " THIS IS SPARTA!!" in Gratuitous English and Megaton Punch the bad guy straight through about a dozen walls. Also works as Actor Allusion; Giroro's seiyuu dubbed Gerard Butler in the Japanese edition of 300.

Also Commader Sazabi's reaction to being defeated and destroyed by Captain; "This..can't...be happening! I've lost! No! NOOOOOOOOOO!!"

In Final Fantasy V, this is Faris' go-to reaction whenever something very upsetting happens, such as a character's death or being confronted with the fact that she and Lenna are sisters.

If one of the characters made a choice that had moral implications , would you have made the same decision Why? Why not? The God Empress of Ponykind: During the Siege of Canterlot, the Shadowbolts attempt to corrupt the Loyalist Lunar Knights the way the rest of Luna's Legions were corrupted by Nightmare Moon, only for them to fight it off, eliciting this reaction from the Shadowbolts (right before they get killed). George Monbiot is passionate about the climate crisis and preserving what we have left of our natural world. I thought a number of these essays, the strongest ones, were quite thought-provoking, and made me consider the climate crisis more deeply. I think his strongest work is where he's offering his own experiences of climate change and his own grief about the decline of the natural world. Where he's reporting the speeches or efforts of others, this book isn't as strong, but, with those essays, he does capture a moment in time in the fight to save the natural world.Dragon Ball Z has this a lot, thanks to many of the villains being too arrogant to admit when somebody is better than them. Machinesmith has kidnapped the President, stolen the codes for the "nuclear football" and ready to launch WWIII. Suddenly, through the flames of a downed helicopter, Cap, who Machinesmith had assumed was framed, exiled and on the other side of the world, strides out in full costume. The artifical computer brain can only offer "Im.. Impossible!" The book was the focus of an episode of the television series Great Canadian Books in 2010. Justin Trudeau described it as "a wonderfully funny story that appeals to the adolescent in all of us" and as the book that awoke his interest in reading. [1] In The Dresden Files the necromancer Grevane has a non-verbal variant, where he refuses to believe that he could be defeated even after having his throat cut open with a sword, and keeps trying to finish the spell that would make him a god as he's dying. This is fortunate for the protagonists, as if he'd accepted what was happening he would undoubtedly have used his Death Curse to do as much damage as possible. Several of the earlier antagonists of YuYu Hakusho (particularly Hiei) say this or something similar when the heroes defeat them, mostly since the heroes are nearly always the underdog anyway. The last time the heroes get enemies that do this is a few times the Dark Tournament, though (after which most of the enemies are either Spirited Competitors or Death Seekers).
