Kuyou: No! He lives?! But that's impossible! I saw what my flame did to him! His body was burned to a crisp!

of Penguin's Green Ideas series, due to be published on August 26 (five books sent to me by the publisher). In The Dresden Files the necromancer Grevane has a non-verbal variant, where he refuses to believe that he could be defeated even after having his throat cut open with a sword, and keeps trying to finish the spell that would make him a god as he's dying. This is fortunate for the protagonists, as if he'd accepted what was happening he would undoubtedly have used his Death Curse to do as much damage as possible. Number 4 in the 'Penguin Books - Green Ideas' series, this book is a collection of speeches and essays by the investigative journalist and 'professional troublemaker' George Monbiot, a leading voice in the fight for climate justice. All three villains of Punk Hazard get this: Monet when she realizes Zoro actually Would Hit a Girl when she figured he wouldn't, Vergo when Law takes him out in one slash, and Caesar when his supposedly "killer gas" doesn't affect Luffy in the final struggle. Soifon in her fight with Yoruichi. She banked everything on the belief that, having spent a hundred years obsessively training, she would now be able to surpass Yoruichi. When she realises that she still can't defeat Yoruichi even though Yoruichi's skills have stagnated for a century, she screams this before dissolving in tears and revealing the real reason why she's so angry with Yoruichi.Megatron and the other Decepticons are caught totally off guard in the first chapter of R2 by the revelation that Lelouch is still alive, as the last time they saw him near the end of R1, he was seemingly dying from Megatron's Dark Geass. However, the mob targeted property and police rather than foreign and non-white bystanders, who watched in bewilderment. I think everyone should read this book and all the other books in this new Penguin collection (I can tell they're all going to be important reads, just based on my experience with this one). They're all written by writers well-known for their writing on nature and the climate. I've got four of them on my shelves, and just happened to start with this one. I'm really glad I did. Alicia Lohmeyer has a total breakdown as she sees the Britannian Pacific Fleet get wiped out by the Decepticons in a manner of minutes, with her last words being to scream defiantly about the impossibility of the situation. I finished this book because I found the book very interesting with many chapters and parts ending with either a foreshadowing element or leaving a thought or question in your mind. With the humor and excellent story-line, I just couldn't put the book down.

He doesn't actually say anything, but when Matrix dents Megabyte's chest with a punch in ReBoot's season 3 finale, the look on Megabyte's face needs no words. The Joker screams exactly this trope name in Batman: The Devil's Advocate after he learns in court that he's just been found guilty of multiple counts of first-degree murder, and now will almost certainly get sent to the electric chair. (He'd assumed that he'd always be thought too insane to ever be convicted by a jury, let alone receive the death penalty.) As he's being pulled into a limbo between dimensions, Talgeese cries, "This can't be happening!" Before admitting, "...Well, I suppose it could, but it shouldn't be happening!" Makuramon also says it when Beelzemon destroys him. May not have been the strongest Deva but he lasted the most episodes out of any, besides Antylamon, who survives up to the final episode and the end of the movie set afterward due to her Heel–Face Turn. Last Rites have the main villain, Father Mordae, uttering this nearly word-for-word ("You.. cannot be!") after you kill him in the last level.Wiseman says a similar line when Serena and Rini destroy him. "WHAT?! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! NO ONE IS AS STRONG AS THE DOOM PHAN..." Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Many, or some, villains are quite fond of using this trope when bested by the Turtles. Especially the Big Bad, the Shredder. I would have loved to meet the characters in this book. I would have wanted to meet them because they both remind me of how I am sometimes. Like one time I was at camp and we played pranks on people almost every night. I found that they were really realistic because they act like normal teenage boys who like to goof around most of the time.

Matthew Patel in the first volume of Scott Pilgrim: "This is impossible! How can this be?!" promptly before Scott causes him to explode into coins. In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, Gilbert Durandal has this reaction when the Requiem cannon is destroyed by the Infinite Justice and Akatsuki.Dr. Stanton says it's impossible when Coleman says the storm which Ghidorah disappeared inside has changed direction and is headed towards Rodan at unnaturally fast speed, at which point Chen and Coleman realize that Ghidorah is generating the storm himself. Ryoko Asakura utters "It can't be!" in Haruhi Suzumiya, right after Yuki started terminating her. While she looked desperate while saying it (complete with Puppy-Dog Eyes) she gets a hold of her Stepford Smiler face again, after that. Subverted in Soon I Will Be Invincible: Doctor Impossible is a cape-and-mask supervillain who declares his nefarious plot to the world by saying "Greetings, insects!" But in quieter moments he reflects "No matter how good the science is, sooner or later, some Special Forces reject will scale the wall and punch you in the stomach." He only rejoices when there really does appear to be nothing between him and his goal. He's wrong, but doesn't seem amazed by it, or even, after thirteen tries, really surprised. Very disappointed, obviously, but it was always a possibility, and next time he'll win, no doubt about it.

In Fire Emblem, every chapter has a boss which is stronger than most units. However, not every boss is completely vital to the plot, some are just random people of high rank in opposing armies. Every boss has a death quote, so there's a countless number of random bosses who use some variations of "This cannot be" when defeated. This book related to two other books that I have read in my life. The two books were captain underpants and diary of a wimpy kid. This book related to them because all three of these books are comedy books. Subversion: In The Dark Knight, when Batman shows up to protect Dent from getting hit by an RPG, Joker's response is a simple " Hm!" Downplayed later in the film. When the two boats with passengers aboard do not blow each other up, Joker tosses aside his pipe club in anger, then mutters to himself: "Can't rely on anyone these days, you gotta do everything yourself..." It’s not right but it had to be done. The government is not listening,” said one man in his 20s, a bystander rather than a looter. “This isn’t against foreigners. We were the first emigrants. Immigrants are driving our buses, cleaning our hospitals – we need them. But they need to be vetted.”SHODAN: I don't understand... how could you have done this? You weren't meant to be so important... and now you think to destroy me? How dare you, insect? How dare you interrupt my ascendance? You are nothing. A wretched bag of flesh... what are you, compared to my magnificence? The Cell from Future Trunks' timeline gets this reaction when he realizes Trunks has become stronger and faster than he is due to training in the past. The Future Androids also have the same reaction, unable to grasp how the one they easily beat before is now Curbstomping them without even trying. Uttered in The Legend of Dragoon by Rose when, at the end of Disc 3, "the emperor" reveals himself to be Zieg, another dragoon from the old, old days. This isn't the only "cannot be" moment LOD offers. After Haschwalth reports to Yhwach that his time outside the Schatten Bereich is running out, Yhwach retorts that he should have plenty of time left. He cuts himself off when he realizes that Aizen used Kyoka Suigetsu to mess up his perception of time during their meeting in Muken. If this book took place in a different place it probably wouldn’t have been as good. If it wouldn’t had been in a boarding school they wouldn’t have been able to play pranks on over night on their schoolmates. But since it is, they can do a whole bunch more than they could in a regular school.
