History

Phantom Blood

"Memetaa!"

While explaining Sendo, Zeppeli brings Jonathan and Erina to a small river and directs their attention to a frog sitting on a rock. Zeppeli walks into the shallow river and takes a deep breath as energy begins to form around his feet, and unusual ripples in the water begin to emanate from where he stands.

Zeppeli explains that the ripples on the water are similar to how breathing makes ripples in the body. Using this ripple, one can create an energy called the Ripple that can be transferred to other objects. With that said, Zeppeli suddenly throws his fist towards the frog and lands a direct blow to its back. Jonathan and Erina are surprised as the strike splits the rock the frog was sitting on down the middle, yet the frog remains completely unharmed. Zeppeli's energy had transferred as ripples through the body of the frog and crushed the rock instead.

Video Games

Phantom Blood (PS2 Game)

In Chapter 8 of Phantom Blood (PS2), the frog appears in a cutscene where Zeppeli demonstrates the power of Ripple to Jonathan and Erina by punching the frog. The strike splits the rock down the middle, leaving the frog intact.

Trivia

• In Steel Ball Run, Danny makes the onomatopoeia when he is absorbed into Johnny by Axl RO's Civil War.
• In JoJo ~Sono Chi no Sadame~, the onomatopoeia appears for a brief second when the Stone Mask is seen falling into the ocean.
  • It also appears for a brief second in JoJo Sono Chi no Kioku ~end of THE WORLD~, when Star Platinum is punching a glass pane.
• The sound effect's unique nature has resulted in the frog becoming referenced in media and merchandise in and outside of the series.
