Sucking-In Lines | comment |
When a powerful spell, weapon, or device is about to fire, it often gives several seconds of warning by dramatically sucking in glowing lines or orbs. Sometimes it is actually gathering and condensing energy or matter from the environment, but not always. A Wave-Motion Gun or Combined Energy Attack will almost always do this. Usually it coalesces into a single glowing ball that is then "thrown" or "spat" at a target when it's Blasting Time. When a character or object starts to suck in lines, you can be sure it's about to do something massively destructive. In video games, a weapon often displays this as the visual cue for a Charged Attack, and sometimes continues doing so even when the weapon has reached its maximum power level. This is a subtrope of Power Glows. Usually not related to Speed Stripes, but is thematically similar. Often paired with Throat Light. |

Samus Aran in Metroid Prime uses the straight lines version to charge up her arm cannon; some beams also keep sucking in lines while fully charged. So does Mother Brain in Super Metroid, before she unleashes her supercharged draining beam of death. |

The boss of Area 6 in Star Fox 64 had a planet-busting, sherbet-colored Wave-Motion Gun that it would telegraph by sucking in orbs... from space. As did the mothership on Katina—not surprising, as the mission was essentially a remake of the climax of Independence Day. |

Digimon does this frequently. Notably, War Greymon does not do this though he really is taking in energy from the environment around him. Dynasmon, on the other hand, does this briefly before doing his Dragon's Roar/Dragon Thrower (with his voice, it's hard to tell) and sure enough, he is absorbing energy from around him. The manifestation of the attack depends on what he sucked in to generate it. | |

The Hollow/Arrancar Cero attack in Bleach has small bits of energy collect into a sphere before they fire it. More noticably, the Quincy Final Form and the Bount (in the anime) can break down the surrounding matter, convert it into lines and absorb it. And the lines sucked into cero vary from user to user. Ulquiorra uses simple lines and circle before it fires, Ichigo's is tri-focused and the lines are curved, Grimmjow's Gran Rei Cero has jagged lines... Averted with Starrk who can instantly fire cero. |

Every Special Power in Legend of Mana sucks in lines before firing, during which the character is stationary and thankfully invulnerable. That's whether the Special Power involves summoning a black hole, or doing a trio of combat rolls and slashes. Golems and Magic Instruments also suck in lines for some powers, but usually only when it makes sense or is a giant laser. | |

Zinv's ultimate attack in Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure consists of sucking in lines, then blowing everything up. Probably justified, since the big attack consists of using Zinv's gravity manipulation abilities to make a micro-black hole, absorb, and then redirect energy weapons. | |

In Naruto Shippuden, Four-Tails Naruto performs an attack where he creates chakra "bubbles", condenses them into a tiny black orb, then swallows it to unleash an insanely powerful laser (powerful enough to injure the Nigh-Invulnerable Big Bad after disintegrating three thought-to-be-invincible barriers in its path). This is later named the Bijuudama (literally, Tailed-Beast Ball), and is revealed to be a standard-issue attack amongst Tailed Beasts and (in certain conditions) their Hosts. Tobi's teleportation power manifests itself with these around his Sharingan. |

Also evident in cutscenes. The Sister Ray, once mounted on Midgar and converted to use Mako shells in Final Fantasy VII, creates an accretion disk as it charges up, then sucks in straight lines of power a split-second before firing. Some monsters and summons do that to, such as Bahamut (and his ultimate form too). |

The Galdon in Star Fox Adventures sort of subverts this by making him do this before... thrusting its head forward a short ways. Not nearly as dangerous as its breathing of fireballs, and the period of apparent intake of energy is actually when it's vulnerable to Fire Blasts. | |

One of the first examples is in Space Battleship Yamato, where the long charging time of the Wave-Motion Gun is accompanied by both sucking in lines and a pitch-changing charging sound. Justified as tachyons travel faster than light. If you could see tachyons escaping from the barrel, they would appear to be sucked in. |

The Legend of Zelda: Many of the more powerful attacks in the series do this, even sucking the light out of the surrounding scene in later titles (both villains and heroes). In the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask games, charging a spin attack made one's sword suck in glowy lines and dots of stuff. In many games, dodongos and other related beasties would suck in lines of air before launching a fiery attack - a handy cue for you to show said dodongos why they dislike smoke. In Hyrule Warriors, King Dodongo does this when preparing to use his fireball, thereby telegraphing the point when you should throw your bombs into his mouth. Argorok also charges up like this for his fireball attack, as does Ganon. |

The Wing Gundam's Buster Rifle does this when it fires fully-powered shots; in a potential Lampshade Hanging, background info claims that it ionizes the particles in the area, captures them, and then condenses them into superheated plasma to produce a maelstrom of energy. | |

The Sentinel in Iji does this when it's charging up its Nuke weapon. It becomes piss-easy to kick it into the electropods, however, because all available energy is being redirected from every other system just to charge the Nuke. Also, to a lesser extent, enemy nanoweapons such as the rocket launcher. |

Most Final Fantasy games use either some variation of this or a reversal thereof when a spell or a Summon effect fires. A few of the newer ones, like Final Fantasy XI, will use the straight, inward version while a caster is preparing a spell and then some sort of flashier, outward-directed effect when the spell goes off. Not to mention the Flare spell, which does this in nearly every game it's in. |

In the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask games, charging a spin attack made one's sword suck in glowy lines and dots of stuff.

Chrono Trigger, characters casting lightning magic draw in sparks before releasing it; as well, Lucca's Flare spell pulls in balls of red energy before it detonates. Magus risks casting a spell! In the PS1 port included in Final Fantasy Chronicles and Updated Re-release for the DS, this is also shown in an FMV when Lavos fires his Disintegrator Ray at Crono. |

The various protagonists of the Mega Man games use the "sucking in orbs" variant to charge up their blasters. Special mention is due here to the Mega Man Battle Network games - in the later ones, under certain conditions, you can charge up either your normal arm-cannon (which sucks in lines) or your current battle chip (which sucks in orbs). The original Mega Man only does this in Mega Man 8, Mega Man & Bass, The Power Battle and The Power Fighters, where he sucks in lines. In 4 to 6 he just flashes colors, and in 7 he flashes while particles rise off him. |

Unreal Tournament 2004's Leviathan's primary weapon (when deployed) sucks in lines nearly the width of the screen before unleashing death. Also from 2003 onward, the Impact Hammer was replaced with the Shield Gun. When used in its destructive mode, it sucks in sparks as it charges. And then the Impact Hammer came back... without the effect. |

Wizard's Fire from The Sword of Truth series works by drawing energy from the surroundings. This fact is even used offensively by at one point, when the heroes encounter an underworld creature immune to normal magic. Chase drops it into a fountain, and Zedd creates fire by sucking all the heat out of the water. The creature is frozen solid and hacked apart. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation has an interesting variation of this. Whenever the USS Enterprise gets serious and really wants to do damage to another ship, it draws an energy ring around the saucer section before firing a phaser blast at the target. These shots take a few seconds longer to blast out than other phaser emitters located around the ship. More closer to the Yamato Cannon tradition of this trope, the Enterprise once tries a makeshift superweapon against a Borg Cube using its navigational deflector to fire a super blast that's heard (though not exactly seen) drawing a massive amount of energy before firing. Unfortunately, though it looks cool, the Borg are able to No-Sell it thanks to Locutus. | |
