A character is in over his/her head or had wandered into danger somehow. But as soon as he/she shouts the name of a love interest, friend, relative, bodyguard, ally, whatever, the character so summoned shows up to save the day. Similar to Just Whistle, and a more benign cousin of Speak of the Devil. Compare Say My Name. |

Amusingly subverted in the Sengoku Basara anime. Seeing that Kasuga is determined to go on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Oda Nobunaga in spite of his efforts to dissuade her, Sarutobi Sasuke gives Kasuga what seems to be a whistle and tells her to blow it if she's in trouble. When that inevitably happens, the "whistle" turns into a rocket-powered glider. Kasuga later admits that she thought the whistle would somehow summon Sasuke to her rescue, and he replies that that would obviously be impossible. "But, hey, I'm here now!" | |

In Pact, saying a practitioner's name creates a connection between the speaker and the named that can be seen with Aura Vision, allowing them to find one another. It's described as being intensely irritating. | |

Thor's hammer had the power to pass between worlds. Thor was able to have a Dead Person Conversation with Cap by shouting "Avengers Assemble!" | |

Back in the original Shin Megami Tensei, the game begins with the main character encountering, in order, the Law Hero, Chaos Hero and Heroine in his dreams. He is specifically told to call their names in order to summon them (which was how the game worked its character-naming into the story). In the case of Heroine, doing so broke up a ritual to drain her powers. | |

Let's elaborate: The 8th Touhou Project game, Touhou Eiyashou ~ Imperishable Night, has two Final Bosses: The princess of the moon Kaguya and her Dragon Eirin. Choosing to fight Eirin gives you a normal ending, while beating Kaguya leads to the good ending and resolves the plot in the best way possible. Despite this, the fight against Eirin is the harder of the two. This coupled with the somewhat spoiled personality of Kaguya has lead to a popular fanon depiction of the princess as a pampered hikikomori in frequent need of Eirin's assistance to get out of tight spots. This is usually coupled with a cry of "Help me, Eirin!" as the Gratuitous Japanese above indicated. Ironically, in game, it is Kaguya that came to Eirin's aid after the latter was defeated by the heroines. | |

Supernatural: Angels can hear someone praying to them, either verbally or even if they are just thinking about them. The angels don't always respond, and occasionally the heroes run afoul of the angels and have to ward themselves against being located by them. Yet, several times Dean and Sam are shown praying to Castiel so he can assist them, which he often does. | |

Gesta Danorum: Kraka the sorceress promises her stepson Erik that she will aid him in any kind of dire straits if he calls out her name. Much later, when Erik and his newlywed wife are being attacked by assassins in their bedchamber, Erik calls out his stepmother's name; suddenly a shield drops from the rafters, covers Erik's body and thus saves his life. | |

Used by Elspeth in The Obernewtyn Chronicles. When she thinks that she is drowning, Elspeth calls out Maruman’s name in despair. Due to an ancient prophecy, this then unintentionally summons a shipfish (dolphin) who is able to save her. She later invokes this when needing to quickly get from Herder Isle to the west coast. | |

In the Young Wizards series, 'names' are a rather complex subject. However, your given name is still a part of you, so it can be used in a summoning spell. Though, as far as summonings go, it's less "I command you to come hither!" and more "Hey, we need you here, could you please make your way over at the earliest convenience?" | |

The Lord of the Rings: Tom Bombadil taught Frodo and his friends a song they could sing if they were ever in trouble and needed his help. It only works if they sing it while on Tom's property, however. The Melbourne House text adventure adaptation includes a beginner's version where the song works anywhere; using it on the first move allows almost the entire game to be Dungeon Bypassed. |

Characters in the Persona series will either shout out "Persona!" when summoning the titular magical beings, or they'll shout out the persona's name (typically when about to land a critical hit or exploiting an elemental weakness), which can be hilarious when the persona is named something very non-threatening ("PIXIE!") Back in the original Shin Megami Tensei, the game begins with the main character encountering, in order, the Law Hero, Chaos Hero and Heroine in his dreams. He is specifically told to call their names in order to summon them (which was how the game worked its character-naming into the story).

In the Final Fantasy series, it is implied Summoners must do this when they Summon various monsters to attack. Such as Final Fantasy IV when you learn to summon several monsters, they say something like "You have proven your strength. When you need my help, call my name." | |

Although chronologically inaccurate, in Shadow Hearts: From The New World, Johnny gets an ability called "Phone Call" where he pulls out a cellphone (it's in 1929, where did he get that thing?) and shouts "Lenny!" into it, and sure enough, Lenny comes rushing in and clobbers the enemy using a power he got from the previous game. | |

Since his magical communication acorns work over continent-wide distances, Quick Ben from Malazan Book of the Fallen is prepared to be called on by Kalam should the assassin be in trouble no matter how far they are apart. In The Bonehunters it doesn't work out, because Shadowthrone intervenes. | |

The Transformers Film Series has a couple. The second film has Sam (and his dad) calling out for Bumblebee, who then busts in and starts slagging Mini-Decepticons like nobody's business. Later in the same film, Sam calling 'bee again signals our silent yellow hero to start kicking Rampage's tailpipe. The third film's trailer has Sam invoking this to call "Optimus!" to the field, upon which Prime flies in and starts carving through Decepticons. | |

In Fate/stay night, at one point Shirou is in danger, but Saber is still at home, several tens of minutes away. Shirou tries to run but is thrown from a window several stories in the air. In desperation, he calls out Saber's name, and she instantly appears and catches him. This normally wouldn't be possible (Saber cannot teleport), but Shirou invoked one of his Command Spells when calling for Saber, which empowered her to do something she normally wouldn't be able to. | |

When using a Greater Call in Hades, Zagreus will yell out the name of the god or goddess he's invoking, and they'll respond with a Pre-Asskicking One-Liner before dropping a lot of hurt on the battlefield. Played for laughs with Hades' aid. It's possible to invoke him during his own boss fight, causing him to respond with "What?" or "Shut up!" | |

In the Spiral Arm series, Tina Zhi is capable of instantly teleporting to Domino Tight's side if he speaks her name twice. While Domino does take advantage of his to call on her for help, it also overlaps a bit with Speak of the Devil because Tina is an extremely amoral and dangerous person; Domino makes certain to warn his allies that they should never speak Tina's name in his presence. | |

In Kingdom Hearts III, there's a scene in the Mysterious Tower where Sora insists (again) he should be the one to rescue Aqua from the Realm of Darkness. Riku puts a hand on his shoulder and tells him he knows Sora's worried about him and Mickey going there alone, but he truly needs the power of waking before he can join them. Sora begrudgingly agrees with him, and then says "But be safe. No reckless stunts!" in English. However, in Japanese, Sora actually says 「でも 無理しないで 何かあったら呼んでくれよ」, which translates to, “But don't overdo it. Call me if anything happens.” Calling Sora for help (by simply uttering his name) is exactly what Riku does when he gets overwhelmed by the Demon Tide in the Realm of Darkness, during the infamous "Press △ to Sora" scene. | |

In The King's Buccaneer, Pug gives Nicholas a charm that will summon him if his name is called. He uses it once early on when things are bad, and then Pug pulls a Deus Exit Machina for the rest of the story until the last minute, while being pursued by a ship full of zombies led by a superpowerful necromancer, Nicholas calls Pug again. Pug arrives on the back of a dragon and promptly obliterates the enemy. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi has a more direct version of this in the form the pactio partnership involves the mage having to yell the partner's name to call them immediately to the scene. Naturally, it backfires horribly at least once when Negi summons Asuna while she's taking a shower. While her crush is standing right next to him... And for a non pactio version, as soon as Chisame yells for help against the cloth eating octopus monster Negi instantly appears and beats it to a pulp. |
