Now you've done it. A declaration that someone has broken the last straw, crossed the Moral Event Horizon, hit the Berserk Button or otherwise gone too far. The people making this declaration will now commit themselves to unleashing every ounce of asskicking they have at you until they get their way, and will not allow anything to stop them. If the offended party is a Karmic Trickster, expect much Slapstick to follow. The Japanese have a specific cultural sub-trope and Stock Phrase for this: This Is Unforgivable!. May lead to a character exhibiting Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass, Let's Get Dangerous! and similar qualities. Compare It's Personal. See also Pretext for War, when the trigger is blown out of proportion to start the war. You can expect that this declaration will be followed by a Roaring Rampage of Revenge and/or a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown. Particularly when made by an otherwise peaceful character. Here is a compilation with a lot of examples of this trope. |

He then exclaims, "THIS. MEANS. WAR!", before sending his army of bugs onto the audience. | |

In The Smurfs comic book story "The Smurf Threat", the Grey Smurfs send an Arrowgram to the Smurfs, warning them to surrender Hefty or else. Papa Smurf refuses to turn over Hefty to the Grey Smurfs, and the next Arrowgram reads something to the effect of "this means war" — with the next thing the Smurfs see is the Grey Smurfs surrounding the village. | |

Angel: Throughout Season 1, Kate Lockley, initially Angel's Friend on the Force, finds herself unable to cope with discovering the existence of vampires and demons, and this spirals into hatred of all supernatural creatures, especially vampires, when her father is killed by them, taking her anger and inability to cope with her inability to cope with the Broken Masquerade on Angel. This climaxes in "To Shanshu in L.A.", when she stops him after Wolfram & Hart blow up his office and land Wesley in the hospital, and starts sniping at him again when he refuses to remain behind for questioning. With both Cordelia and Wesley in the hospital, Angel is in absolutely no mood to put up with Kate's bitchiness and informs her as such, telling her that if she really wants to be his enemy, he's happy to oblige. | |

In Mission of Honor, an entire treecat clan is wiped out during Oyster Bay. In A Rising Thunder it turns out that one member of the clan was visiting a neighboring clan and survived... and now the treecats have declared war on Mesa. For the uninitiated, a treecat is a telepathic, six-limbed, furry buzzsaw of DOOM. This is actually their general response to a threat. Treecats divide their enemies into two categories: those who have been dealt with and those who are still alive. |

Looney Tunes: A traditional Bugs Bunny Character Catchphrase ("Of course you realise, dis means war!") — any time Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam or some other buffoon maroon harasses him to this point. In Space Jam: A New Legacy, Al G. Rhythm introduces himself to the Tunes via trashing their world, mocking their designs, and forcing a 3D upgrade on them against their will. By the time he's done, he's the focus of all their attention for the wrong reasons, and Bugs is practically livid over it all. Foghorn Leghorn made that same declaration after he was cocooned in his lovely beach umbrella by his eternal nemesis the Barnyard Dog ("of course you know, this means war"). In one Elmer Fudd short, an ant says this after Elmer harassed some ants with firecrackers. In the Porky Pig and Daffy Duck short Boobs in the Woods, Daffy declares this after pretending to be Pocahontas and "mistaking" Porky for "Cap'n John Smiff". |

Duck Dodgers: One two-parter was actually called "Of Course You Know, This Means War and Peace". It was mostly war, though, with the peace treaty being a trick for the villain General Z-9 to get access to codes to Earth's defences and invade the planet.

The homunculi of Fullmetal Alchemist caused major problems for themselves because of this trope. Before Maes Hughes' death, Mustang knew pretty much nothing about the homunculi and consequently was not involved in trying to stop their evil schemes. The moment one of them killed Hughes, he quietly went into a sort of chronic Heroic BSoD mode and became such a danger to them that Lust finally decided he wasn't worth it as a sacrifice and simply tried to kill him. | |

The Dresden Files Dead Beat. After finishing the job he was forced into by the Black Court Vampire Mavra when she blackmailed Murphy, Harry said this and threatened that if she ever went after Murphy or any other of his friends again he would take up every weapon he has to his potential and go after her and kill her. Fast forward to Changes: when his daughter, whom he didn't know about, was kidnapped by the Red Court, he showed that he hadn't been kidding with the above threat. He took up every weapon he had, including becoming the Winter Knight. The only ones he didn't pick up was the Darkhollow and the Denarius and he would have if it would have been necessary. When the dust had settled the Red Court was no more Happens a couple other times too. Molly getting dragged into Arctis Tor, the Nickelheads kidnapping Ivy, one side story when Michael's daughter is nearly killed, Bianca after Susan was turned... Let's face it. If you truly piss off Harry, stick you head between your knees and kiss your sorry ass goodbye. Also the Jerkass that dared to try and hit Mouse with a truck. Moral of the story kids? Never mess with Harry's True Companions. |

Animaniacs: The episode "King Yakko" has the bad guy say "this means war" when his first attempt to take over Anvilania fails. However, he was holding his hands over his head when he said it, leading to Yakko's rejoinder: Slappy Squirrel (who is a clear expy of the likes of Screwy Squirrel, Bugs Bunny and the many other characters who embodied this trope in the golden age of animation) will make your life hell if you cross her, even if it's just for petty issues. Just ask the neighbor she drove to insanity because said neighbor wouldn't let her throw away a soda can in her trash. In the segment "O Silly Mio", Yakko, Wakko, and Dot are pushed far when an opera singer constantly ignores their request to tone her voice down. Bonus points for the pun. |

Old West: After Rattlesnake Jake is injured by some traitorous members of his Gunslinger Court, he's told that their head Irvin Worst is trying to steal his leadership position and Ramirez Arvenga is trying to gain membership once again now that Jake's out of the way. Incensed, Jake orders his loyalists to prepare themselves in a week as he waits for his recovery to have a bloody vengeance. For most of the story, Dufayel tries to legally have the heroes leave their homes above a gold deposit, but when the deadline he fears for (bankruptcy) finally comes, he casts aside all the hampers and orders his hirelings to drive the heroes away violently if need be. When Dufayel makes the mistake of taking Grace and Teddy hostage, Jake makes his intentions clear with a line that's borrowed from True Grit. |

In Final Fantasy XIV the Warrior of Light's story is filled with enough trauma to send most people over the deep end 10 times over (and it's noted at various points) but the Warrior of Light becomes notably upset and enraged upon the death of Haurchefaunt, one of their closest friends, who dies to protect them. The responses the player can choose during cutscenes start to become noticeably more violent and angry in tone after this, calling for the killer's heart. | |

Overlord: The Sorcerer Kingdom has secretly made plans for the eventual annexation of the Re-Estize Kingdom. Said plan involves manipulating a noble who became the heir of a lesser family after the massacre of Katze Plains to start a dissident faction that will, over time, weaken the kingdom's royalty and nobility. Their pawn, however, turns out to be a man of unfathomable idiocy who one day decides to rob a convoy of humanitarian aid sent by the Sorcerer Kingdom to the Roble Holy Kingdom (whose recent misfortune they are completely unrelated to). Ainz is completely baffled at this development, but decides to switch gears and use it as a Pretext for War in order to make an example of what happens when someone disrespects the Sorcerer Kingdom. Then the nobles betray and kill Zanac, whom Ainz had grown to respect after having a chat with him, and Ainz decides that the Re-Estize Kingdom deserves no mercy. A little over a century before the events of the series, the Elf King kidnapped and raped a god-kin of the Slane Theocracy, who was rescued by the Black Scripture before she could give birth. While the Slane Theocracy have always been human supremacists and relationships with the Elf Country had always been tense as a result, the incident was the final straw for the Theocracy, who have been engaged with the elves in a war of extermination ever since. A much more dramatic example, without any political machinations involved, takes place at the end of Volume 16, when Ainz finally learns that it was the Slane Theocracy who brainwashed Shalltear in Volume 3. He immediately orders his followers to drop everything they are doing and to prepare his forces for war: they are going to annihilate the Slane Theocracy. |

Subverted in The Godfather game. Shopkeepers and racket bosses will fight back if you apply too much pressure on them and you won't be able to get a payout from them... but since your pressure-application would probably have involved hitting them, shooting them, harming or killing innocents, all this does is mark them as Too Dumb to Live. Sure, you'll need to come back in a week's in-game time to try again should you kill them, but really, they knew what would ensue... | |

When Kevyn suggests that declaring war against another galaxy might be a tad extreme, Petey retorts that it's not any more extreme than their own galaxy being destroyed right under their noses, and that when they save the Milky Way, the dark matter entities there will inevitably notice. | |

However, this changes when Odin kills Brok after the latter sees through his "Tyr" disguise: Kratos and his friends start gathering allies and making preparations and, eventually, unleash a combined army of light elves, dark elves, Hel-Walkers and Valkyries upon Asgard, with a little last-minute assistance from Angrboda, Fenrir, Sindri, Jörmungandr and Ragnarök itself, all of them helbent on ending Odin's tyranny over the Nine Realms. | |

Those who survived blamed the Tendoshuu, amassed a fleet of space ships, branded themselves as the Altana Liberation Army, and invaded and occupied the Earth in order to find the Tendoshuu and exact their vengeance. All according to Utsuro's plan to ultimately destroy the Earth. | |

In the appendices to The Lord of the Rings, the section Of The Dwarves recounts how Thorin's grandfather went to Moria and was caught by orcs, who threw out his head with a purse of small coins stuffed in the mouth. The purse was taken to the Dwarf-king Nain who regarded it in silence for six days, until on the seventh day he said "This cannot be borne". The dwarves suffered horribly in the years that followed, but the orcs of the Misty Mountains took a hiding. | |

A traditional Bugs Bunny Character Catchphrase ("Of course you realise, dis means war!") — any time Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam or some other buffoon maroon harasses him to this point. In Space Jam: A New Legacy, Al G. Rhythm introduces himself to the Tunes via trashing their world, mocking their designs, and forcing a 3D upgrade on them against their will. By the time he's done, he's the focus of all their attention for the wrong reasons, and Bugs is practically livid over it all. |

At the beginning of the "Tolerance is Extinction" arc of Xmen 97, Magneto unleashes an EMP across the planet to take out the Sentinel Primes. While the X-Men think that this means that he’s saved them, Wolverine however, realizes that this means that Magneto has had enough, and has essentially declared war on humanity. | |

One Piece: Luffy and the crew (mostly Sogeking) declare war on the World Government by not only shooting the Government Flag, but burning it as well. As it stands atop a major governmental base. Being watched by hundreds of marines. All to send a message to Robin that they would never abandon her. When the newspapers report that the World Government has chosen to publicly execute Portgas D. Ace, a Mass "Oh, Crap!" ensues. Ace's captain, Whitebeard, is infamous for avenging his crew mates, and "Red Flag" X. Drake realizes that the Government's decision is effectively declaring war on the most powerful pirate alive. Later, Admiral Kizaru is fighting with four of the most powerful rookie pirates in the world. He's clearly toying with them, but doesn't go for the finishing blow. Then one of them hits him with a surprise attack that cuts him in half and blows the pieces to smithereens. After he pulls himself back together, he's clearly had enough. He then declares the fight is over and dispatches them all in a matter of seconds. In Punk Hazard, Luffy forms an alliance with Trafalgar Law of the Heart Pirates, who has a plan to take down one of the Four Emperors. Said plan involves kidnapping the island's resident Mad Scientist, Caesar Clown. Luffy being Luffy, he doesn't take the job particularly seriously at first, but after he learns from a third party that the children Caesar has been experimenting on will die in a few years, he decides to ditch the "kidnapping" part and replace it with "break every bone in Caesar's body". In an attempt to scare Luffy away, Caesar explains to him that he's not only being backed by Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords and the biggest broker in the criminal underworld, but that he also has ties to the Four Emperors through him, and that moving against Caesar means picking a fight with all of them at the same time, essentially invoking this trope. Luffy's response is succinct: he breaks Caesar's face in a single punch. Luffy has now declared war on one of the Four Emperors, Big Mom. In the Wano Arc, when the raid on Onigashima begins in full, Luffy declares his intention to take down both Kaido, Big Mom and Orochi. The destruction of Ohara via Buster Call is revealed to have been this for Dragon, who became disgusted that the World Government would take such extreme measures against a bunch of archaeologists who simply wanted to learn the true history of the Void Century. He went on to found the Revolutionary Army months later with the express purpose of declaring war against the World Government. |

In Fire & Blood, the civil war between two factions of House Targaryen known as the Dance of Dragons was kicked off when Prince Aemond Targaryen murdered Prince Lucerys Velaryon, son of Rhaenyra Targaryen, one of the two claimants for the Iron Throne, in cold blood, despite the fact Lucerys had been an unarmed envoy at the time. Lucerys's enraged stepfather, Daemon Targaryen, arranged the assassination of one of King Aegon II's sons in retaliation, turning what had been a dynastic squabble in a mutual war of annihilation that lead to the decline of House Targaryen's hold to the Seven Kingdoms. | |

Wrong is Right (1982). The US president uses this reason to invade the Middle East after two suitcase nukes are found in New York City (in the World Trade Centre, no less). However, the film is a parody of Patriotic Fervor and Eagleland so this is just a Pretext for War; it's revealed the real nukes never left the dictator's country as he had no intention of using them. | |

God of War: In God of War II, when Kratos learns from one of his soldiers that Zeus destroyed Sparta, he screams at Zeus to face him directly. Kratos killing Baldur at the climax of God of War (PS4) serves as this for his mother, Freya, who in response gives a rather colorful promise to Kratos that she fully intends to fulfill just as soon as she finds a way to break free of the curse Odin placed upon her that prevents her from harming any living creature. In God of War Ragnarök, Kratos is understandably hesitant to start the eponymous conflict, considering the last time he went to war against gods he destroyed Greece. However, this changes when Odin kills Brok after the latter sees through his "Tyr" disguise: Kratos and his friends start gathering allies and making preparations and, eventually, unleash a combined army of light elves, dark elves, Hel-Walkers and Valkyries upon Asgard, with a little last-minute assistance from Angrboda, Fenrir, Sindri, Jörmungandr and Ragnarök itself, all of them helbent on ending Odin's tyranny over the Nine Realms. |

In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: In Part 2 (Battle Tendency), the vampire Straizo claims to have killed Robert E.O. Speedwagon. Joseph Joestar, who viewed Speedwagon as an uncle, responds by pulling a Tommy gun out of Hammerspace, giving the blood-sucker several dozen new orifices, and then issuing a declaration of war. Appropriately enough, Joseph is a Guile Hero who's occasionally been referred to as Japan's answer to Bugs Bunny. In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, Joseph has a super move which re-creates this scene; its name is, of course, the same as this trope's. |

House of the Dragon: Implied Trope in "The Black Queen". For much of the episode Rhaenyra is hesitant to go to war against her half-brothers, and even when she decides to, doesn't want the first blow to come from her side. But then one of them inadvertently kills her son Luke. We don't hear any dialogue when she is told of this during the season's final scene, but the fury in her gaze after she turns to the camera tells the audience that she'll seriously start coming for the Greens now. | |

Doctor Who: The 10th Doctor in "The Idiot's Lantern". This a trait that all Doctors can show pieces of. Although they rarely use the word 'war', if you hurt anyone close to them, anyone they love, you will pay. Played straight as an arrow in the appropriately-titled Series Six midseason cliffhanger "A Good Man Goes to War". The title doesn't just describe the Doctor, but also Rory. After the Silence kidnapped Amy and his unborn baby, Rory immediately goes on the war-path, even going so far as to storm through a Cyberman warship and scaring the crap out of them for information. Defied in the episode, "Doomsday": |

In Nomine: The worst of all possible occurrences is the Archangel Novalis responding to something you've done with a frown and the quietly uttered phrase "Oh dear". Because when you get to the point where the Archangel of Flowers, heavenly incarnation of peace, love and forgiveness, decides that something has to be done about you, then you have really messed up. Novalis's followers are forbidden from engaging in unnecessary violence. She also has a subordinate Malakim — one of Heaven's mightiest warriors — who is the Angel of Necessary Violence. It can come as a great surprise when a known Angel of Flowers suddenly, with absolute surety, goes for the throat. | |

Played for drama in the Astro City story "Serpent's Teeth", when an alternate-timeline version of Jack-in-the-Box's son uses Jack's "Of course you realize, this means war" as motivation to become a Knight Templar on the city's criminals... without realizing Jack was quoting Bugs Bunny. | |

In Gossip Girl's fourth season Chuck declares war on Blair after she drives Eva away, though one might wonder where he feels entitled to declare war over something like that after he sold Blair for a hotel and slept with her nemesis in the previous season. Chuck and Blair are then at war for a few episodes until Nate and Serena sit them down and write an actual legally binding peace treaty. These kids sure do take things seriously... | |

In Dragon Age II, Meredith's decision to issue the right of annulment on the Kirkwall Circle, despite having nothing to do with Anders' destruction of the Chantry causes the Mages in Kirkwall to finally have enough, with their rebellion either supported or quashed by Hawke. The events at Kirkwall later ripple across the face of Thedas and lead to other Circles rising up as a result, leading to the outbreak of open war, three years later. | |

Subverted in Buffy the Vampire Slayer when the Watchers Council decides to mobilise and head to Sunnydale to take on the First Evil directly. As you'd expect of an organisation of British Badass Bookworms, there is an appropriate quote: "Proverbs 24:6. O, by wise council, you shall make your war." Seconds later a bomb kills everyone in the room. | |

Fast forward to Changes: when his daughter, whom he didn't know about, was kidnapped by the Red Court, he showed that he hadn't been kidding with the above threat. He took up every weapon he had, including becoming the Winter Knight. The only ones he didn't pick up was the Darkhollow and the Denarius and he would have if it would have been necessary. When the dust had settled the Red Court was no more | |

Family Guy: In one episode, Lois gets splashed on by a car driven by her rival, who constantly beats her for the award for best piano student. Needless to say, This Means War. In another episode, a bomb blows up in Meg's face, which leads to her suddenly having a duck bill backwards on her head... exactly like what happens to Daffy Duck in Looney Tunes. She then says, "Of course you realize, this means war!". Brian in "Halloween on Spooner Street", when he tried to reason with the bullies who took Stewie's candy, only for them to dye his fur pink. |

In the pilot of Star Trek: Voyager, the Kazon-Ogla make clear that they are not happy with Capt. Janeway destroying the Caretaker's space station, which not only keeps Voyager in the Delta Quadrant but also prevents the Kazon from using its power to bully the Ocampa. This would result in the Kazon being the primary Arc Villains for the first two seasons, which their leader marks with a nicely unstated version of this trope. | |

Frasier: When Frasier's show is supplanted by Dr. Nora, who tends to slut-shame callers to her show as a start, Frasier tries to make an olive branch, which Nora rejects, causing Frasier to use this phrase. Meanwhile, Roz holds out a few seconds longer, when she finds out Nora's assistant shares her beliefs. | |

In Babylon 5, after breaking away from Earth due to the unconstitutional and tyrannical rule of President William Morgan Clark, Babylon 5 essentially enters a cold war period with Earth that lasts through the second half of Season 3 and the first half of Season 4, until President Clark begins ordering ships to shoot on defenseless civilian and medical transports resulting in the murder of over 10,000 people. Captain Sheridan immediately declares that this is the last straw, and begins an offensive to liberate Earth. | |

Volume 3 of Hellsing has Millenium essentially declare war on Hellsing when they openly send one of their operatives, backed up by troops from the local law enforcement, to attack Alucard and Seras, live on national television no less. Just in case they didn't get the message, Volume 4 has them send a messenger to Hellsing headquarters with a live link to the Major, so that he can pretty much say "Let's fight!". | |
