Star Flash Video Game Team Rockets Blasting Off Again

"Looks like Squad Rocket'south blasting off agaaaiiiiin...!" *ding*

Whatsoever object, if launched with sufficient forcefulness, will sail clean over the horizon and vanish into the distant sky. A moment after it disappears, a iv-pointed "twinkle" volition appear in the spot where information technology was concluding seen, sometimes rotating briefly, along with a high-pitched "ringing" noise. If the object is potentially explosive, information technology volition blow upwards after the twinkle. Information technology's likewise sometimes used to show that something is coming downward from the sky. This particular use may exist truthful, as in the Second Globe War, Japanese AA gunners on ships were trained to spotter for the gleam of an approaching swoop bomber's canopy. Because after that, the only indication that something was coming was the whistling of bombs falling.

In some media, particularly anime and video games, this will happen to characters. Comedic recurring villains seem to be especially prone to this trope, as it's an like shooting fish in a barrel manner to prove that they're conspicuously defeated and out of the manner for now without having to kill or otherwise permanently inconvenience them. It's also a common fate of anybody on the receiving terminate of a powerful enough Megaton Punch or Domicile Run Hitter. Regardless of how far they're launched, they can be expected to show upwardly once again with no lasting damage, usually with no word on how they survived or where they landed.
