Years Too Early: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

A [[Japanese Stock Phrases|stock insult]] used by the Japanese to show the confidence of a certain character in a one on one match, or just to say that a character is out of their league.

Not to be confused with years [[Too Soon]] to joke about a tragedy.

 

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* In ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' Laxas says this to Natsu {{spoiler|before he beats him up}}

** Shampoo uses this statement as well to Akane

* Sci-fi variation from ''[[FLCL]]'':

'''Amarao''': That's discriminatory language used against underdeveloped cultures! }}

* ''[[Inuyasha]]'', [http://www.mangafox.com/page/manga/read/45/inuyasha/chapter.9860/page.18/ at least] [http://www.mangafox.com/page/manga/read/45/inuyasha/chapter.9908/page.3/ twice], probably more.

* In the ''[[Midori Days]]'' manga, Seiji's bossy sister Rin informs him that "you're about 100,000 years too young to defy me!"

* Used by Teana on the last chapter of the ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS]]'' [[Comic Book Adaptation|manga]] while in full [[Tsundere]] mode, when she successfully deduced that the reason for [[Baka]] Subaru's apprehension in joining the [[Emergency Services|Special Rescue squad]] was because she was unconsciously being worried that she won't be able to protect the other members of [[Heroes-R-Us|Riot Force Six]], including...

'''Subaru:''' Ah, yeah, true that. }}

** Just before the Forwards leave for the final battle, Subaru attempts to cheer Nanoha up, but notices that Nanoha was the one who ended up reassuring her. Teana says the same phrase about Subaru hoping to reassure Nanoha when Subaru tells her this.

* [[Rebellious Princess|Mashiro]] from ''[[Mai-Otome]]'' taunts her castle guards with this before she tries to run away from them.

* Extra in ''Idol Project'' tells a [[Naughty Tentacles|tentacle monster]] trying to molest her that he's "a billion years too early to touch her skin".

* A humorous variant occurs in the second arc of ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'', where Battler tells [[Creepy Child|Maria]] that she's "ten years too early to be [[Let's Meet the Meat|telling someone to eat her]]," but to say it to him [[Jail Bait Wait|when the time comes]]. This right after telling Beatrice to make him a sandwich out of her breasts. It was a rather [[Mood Whiplash|odd scene]], given [[Kill'Em All|what had just happened...]]

* ''[[Soul Eater]]'' has Black Star using this on occasion, in line with his claims to [[Small Name, Big Ego|being the best everything in the anywhere]].

* ''[[Seto no Hanayome]]'' has Lunar using this line on Nagasumi when he offers to help her prepare for one of her acting roles.

* Nancy tells Yomiko that she's "100 years to early to worry about me" in ''[[Read or Die]]''.

* In the second season of [[Rosario + Vampire]], Inner Moka tells a Phoenix "You are ten years too early to defeat me"

* When ''[[Squid Girl]]'' loses at a fighting game to her new friend Kiyomi, she says she'll jet her revenge. Kiyomi tells her she'll have to train 10 years before she can beat her.

 

* In ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', after Kyon's sister awakens her brother by trying to tickle him, Kyon tells her she's a hundred years too young to try that on him.

 

** Satoko always says something similar.

* Soulcage pulls something like this when you fight it in ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'', claiming that it has foreseen its death.

{{quote|'''{{spoiler|[[The Dragon|Porky]]}}:''' It is a [[Eleventy-Zillion|gazillion years]] too early for you to oppose [[Cosmic Horror|Giygas]]!}}

* Akira Yuki of ''[[Virtua Fighter]]'' is famous for his usage of this line ("[[Catch Phrase|Juu'nen hayain da yo]]"). Other characters even make reference to it.

* In the first [[Advance Wars]] game, Kanbei says, "Come back when you've matured some! Say, in ten years!" the first time he uses his [[Limit Break|CO Power]] in the mission "Kanbei's Error?".

* The arcade game ''The First Funky Fighter'' by Taito has the most exaggerated example where the main character says "You're one million years too young to be challenging human beings!!!" when he beats a monstrous animal.
