History Main / TooSlow

** In the Fake Karakura Town arc, Aizen taunted Ichigo about how much he outclassed him in speed, and even showed off by putting his hand on Ichigo's chest before he could react, commenting this meant he drive his sword through his heart whenever he felt like it and was just toying with him.

* Ichigo against Ikkaku in ''{{Manga/Bleach}}''.

* Also a catchphrase of epic-tier Mecha pilots like [[ZetaGundam Char Aznable]] and his expies.

* [[GaoGaigar Pizza]], [[spoiler:and later, Soldat J,]] loves to taunt Guy with this, paraphrased:

** However, it was used already years before in ''SonicAdventure2'': Eggman says "Sonic, you're too slow" if you need more than four minutes too reach the final room in Crazy Gadget.

* Parodied in BusouRenkin. While fighting in the school, Shusui and Kazuki zip behind each other with the respective taunts "Too slow." and "Oh yeah?!" The twist is, they do so repeatedly, eventually working their way out of the gymnasium entirely and into the courtyard. Kazuki reveals that it was all part of his plan to avoid damaging the school. Tokiko doesn't buy it.
* Brought up in OnePiece multiple times, but the two most notable are Kizaru owning the hell out of Luffy at Marineford while LampShading this fact, and Luffy later performing the same feat against [[spoiler: A Pacifista's laser right before stomping it into the ground.]]

* Series/{{Smallville}}'s version of TheFlash often mocks Clark Kent like this, as Clark's SuperSpeed is nothing compared to his.

* In most of the good endings of ''{{Yo-Jin-Bo}}'', Harumoto temporarily incapacitates the heroes by throwing a handful of hallucinogenic powder at them - except for in Ittosai's ending, in which Ittosai simply dodges it with a contemptuous "Too slow!"

** However, it was used already years before in SonicAdventure2: Eggmann says "Sonic, you're too slow" if you need more than four minutes too reach the final room in Crazy Gadget.

* FullmetalAlchemist Brotherhood has [[LightningBruiser Scar]] say this in his first battle with the Elric brothers. Both of them (neither of whom is at all slow by ordinary standards) rush him and he dodges both at once with little apparent effort. Given that he is a very big man, with the presence and attitude one normally associates with an [[ImplacableMan Implacable]] MightyGlacier, he takes them completely by surprise.

** However, it was used already years before in SonicAdventure2: Eggmann says "Sonic, you're too slow" if you need more than four minutes too reach the final room in Crazy Gadged.

** However, it was used already years before in SonicAdventure2: Eggmann says "Sonic, you're too slow" if you need more than three miutes too reach the final room in Crazy Gadged.

* {{Smallville}}'s version of TheFlash often mocks Clark Kent like this, as Clark's SuperSpeed is nothing compared to his.
* An episode of ''LoisAndClark'' had a new superhero called Vixen come to town. She seemingly made Superman obsolete because she was roughly as strong as him, but '''way''' faster. Every time Superman arrived at a crime or disaster only to find Vixen had beaten him to it, she would taunt him for being so slow.

** Riku sometimes says the quote while using his Shadow Slide counter ability in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDopDistance'', which teleports him behind an attacking enemy.

* Vanitas in ''[[KingdomHearts Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep]]'' says this whenever he dodges one of your attacks. Which is ''[[FlashStep a]] [[CounterAttack lot]]''.

** Riku sometimes says the quote while using his Shadow Slide counter ability in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3D'', which teleports him behind an attacking enemy.

* Ichigo against Ikkaku in ''{{Anime/Bleach}}''.

* Setsuna in ''Anime/MahouSenseiNegima'' said this in an unimpressed manner to Negi when she found that he wasn't quite focused on the fight.

** Also Byakuya Kuchiki against Ichigo when they take Rukia to soul society, first using FlashStep he breaks ichigo's sword from 20 metres away before stabbing him twice and saying: "you're even slow to fall".

* Said by Gopher to Maka in the 64th chapter of {{Soul Eater}}

* The Beast in ''{{Angel}}'' was too slow to hit Angel, but [[FridgeLogic could smack Faith around just fine]].

* Tsubaki will sometimes say this during her fights with Jin in ''BlazBlueContinuumShift''.

* In ''LegendOfDragoon'', during the BossBattle against [[spoiler:Lloyd]], he says "Too slow!" if he dodges one of your attacks.
* If you hear this fighting [[BlazBlue Carl Clover]] there's a good chance he has you in the clap trap and you are about to hear it a lot more right before you die. Ironically, this isn't because Carl is particularly speedy; an [[GoodBadBug oversight]] makes his throw essentially unbreakable in that situation.
* [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX Zidane]] in ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' says exactly that during some dodges--the others get a smug "I'm right here!" [[FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] tosses out a few more [[TheStoic reserved]] ones when he attacks.
* Jon Talbain /Gallon in ''{{Darkstalkers}}'' has the battle victory quote "Torioze!" which more or less translates to "you're too slow!"
