It's the middle ages. A group of bandits have tied up a fair maiden and there's no telling what they're about to do as they cackle evilly. Until an arrow zooms over head and embeds itself in a tree with a *twang*. The Cavalry has arrived. A group of characters are hiding from a Serial Killer. They try to figure out their next move. They're scared but one poor soul says things can't get any worse. Uh-oh. A knife zooms by and hits that character in the chest. Enter the Psycho Knife Nut. A band of samurai are walking through the woods when a shuriken flies past them and hits a tree. Oh no! NINJAS! Get the point? Who needs a battle cry when a clean, well-timed launch of an arrow, throwing knife, or any other throwing implement into a nearby wall, tree, or person is a far more loud, efficient and stylish way of announcing your presence to your enemies? Sure, a sneak attack would be far more practical, but that's not nearly as cool. Let's also forget the fact that the character just wasted ammo, and that in the middle ages, arrows, especially the quality ones demanded by experienced archers, were somewhat expensive as well (unless of course the arrow buried itself into one of the enemy characters in which case it was quite the efficient move). As the name implies, an exaggerated twangangangannng sound effect like a plastic ruler on a school desk often accompanies this, even if a dull thunk might be more realistic; The Coconut Effect and/or the Rule of Funny may be in play depending on how exaggerated the effect and how comical the scene. See Blasting It Out of Their Hands for a subtrope which helpfully disarms the opponent, and Knife Outline if it pins their shirt to the wall. Compare *Click* Hello, the gun version of this trope, though there's obviously some overlap; there's nothing to stop a character achieving this trope with a warning shot from a firearm, or performing a Dramatic Crossbow Cock to save on bolts. |

Arrow: In the first season, The Hood would announce his presence by shooting out all the lights. Over time, Oliver has amassed quite a few trick arrows that explode or emit knockout gas following the initial one. Yao Fei, the man who first taught Oliver how to survive on the island he was marooned on, introduces himself by shooting Oliver with an arrow. It does however quickly get across the point that the island is a dangerous place where there are people who will kill him. |

Jiriki's first lines in The Dragonbone Chair are accompanied by him shooting an arrow into a tree in front of the hero. Unusual because the hero had just saved his life and the arrow was actually a sacred artifact used to signify a life debt, and also because it occurred during his exit | |

Naruto: Guy usually makes his Dynamic Entry by throwing a kunai, before the kick to the face. Ouch. Naruto himself does this at one point when Orochimaru (the current Big Bad) is about to attack one of his teammates, only to stop short as a hail of knives come down right where he was about to slither. Another example is right when Kisame is about to cut the eight-tail host's legs off to prevent him from escaping. One of the host's students takes a throwing star, enhances it with lightning chakra, and slashes most of the blade off of the sword Kisame was holding. "Sorry we're late, Bee." |

Tuxedo Kamen/Mask in Sailor Moon would always make his entrance by throwing a rose in the midst of a battle or conversation. He even does this to some kind of rolling boulder monster. Rose thrown, guitar chord, begins his rant... and is interrupted when the monster rolls over the rose and keeps rolling. The look on his face is priceless. | |
