* ''[[Naruto]]'s'' signature Rasengan attack, Neji's Kaiten, Lee's Leaf Whirlwind, Kiba's Wolf-Fang Over Fang and Kakashi's Kamui. Uzumaki means whirlpool, Naruto means Maelstrom, the Uzumaki clan symbol is a spiral. The symbol of Hidden Leaf has a spiral included. Tobi's mask has a spiral pattern.
* Howsabout all of the anime series that contain a [[Transformation Trinket]] with a spinning element? For example, the wands used in the second season ('sharp') of ''[[Ojamajo Doremi]]'' feature a spinning musical note in the middle.
* The Silver Alchemist from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. In the new anime, he isn't even touching the ground when he does his spinning attack.
* Whenever Vita from ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' uses Graf Eisen's Rocket Form, she'll always spin around a few times before smashing her target. Destruction Form is [[This Is a Drill|a drill]].
* ''[[Ranma ½]]'' has Ranma's "Hiryû Shoten Ha" (where Ranma needs to lure his enemies into a spiral in order to blast them with a tornado) and Ryû Kumon's "Demon Gods' Mad Violent Dance" (where he spins around at high speed while at the same time unleashing a rapid-fire barrage of vacuum blades in all directions). Let's not forget several attacks from the Golden Pair, and a few of Ranma's practice katas.

Which caused the comment at ''[[Superdickery.com]]'' to [[Sarcasm Failure|hesitate to explain what was wrong with it]].
* Speedsters such as [[The Flash]] sometimes use the tactic of spinning or running in a circle to produce a whirlwind.
** There's also a Flash villain named The Top who gets his super speed by spinning. Also he can brainwash people, by spinning.
