History Main / YearsTooEarly

* A humorous variant occurs in the second arc of ''UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'', where Battler tells [[CreepyChild Maria]] that she's "ten years too early to be [[LetsMeetTheMeat telling someone to eat her]]," but to [[{{Lolicon}} say it to him]] [[JailBaitWait when the time comes]]. This right after telling Beatrice to make him a sandwich out of her breasts. It was a rather [[MoodWhiplash odd scene]], given [[KillEmAll what had just happened...]]

* The ''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' series has Mion saying pretty much the same thing as the previous example, with Keiichi making the same correction.

* A variation in the [[DungeonsAndDragons D&D-based]] comic ''OrderOfTheStick'': when Roy finally confronts the BigBad Xykon, the lich calmly suggests that Roy is a dozen of ''levels'' too early to face him and even [[AffablyEvil politely offers]] to postpone their showdown for him to do some LevelGrinding.

* In ''[[{{Fanfic/Ptitle0028gzjm}} 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.

* [[HomestarRunner You're way too young to be]] [[IWannaBeTheGuy The Guy!]]

* In ''SuperMarioRPG'', when you're chasing down the crocodile thief, there's a point when you have to sneak up behind him. When you do, he says, "At this rate it will take 100 years for you to catch me" and runs away. The second time you catch him, he says it'll take fifty years. [[RuleOfThree The third time]], before he can come up with a proper number, Mallow interrupts and demands the stolen property, prompting the boss fight.

* ''OnePiece'' characters are quite fond of using this, in particular Shanks when he's teasing over-ambitious kids, like Luffy (who in ten years, got better). Ironically, this was said ''against'' Shanks by Whitebeard, and Shanks took this as SeriousBusiness (Of course, you have to hear the context of the conversation) and drew his sword, and clashed it against Whitebeard's.

* Used by Deidara on Naruto. "You're a hundred years too young to be giving ME orders, [[VerbalTic Hmmm!]]"
** Deidara also says this to Tobi in the Sanbi filler arc. This becomes HilariousInHindsight when we find out that [[spoiler: Tobi actually ''is'' a hundred years older than Deidara.]]

* "[[{{FLCL}} That's discriminatory language used against underdeveloped cultures!]]" (said by Amarao in response to Haruko using something along the lines of "You're a million-years underevolved, primitive monkey!" in this way)
* "It's a century too early for you to face me." Not a verbatium quote, used more than once in ''InuYasha''.
** [[http://www.mangafox.com/page/manga/read/45/inuyasha/chapter.9860/page.18/ Jaken]] "They're 100 years too early to even try to attack Sesshoumaru-sama."
** [[http://www.mangafox.com/page/manga/read/45/inuyasha/chapter.9908/page.3/ Kikyo]] "Heh, to try take my life... you're 100 years too early!"

** Also used again by Chisame in ''MahouSenseiNegima'' manga, chapter 183, unusual because it isn't intended as an insult. Chisame is protecting Negi from exposure to ... [[{{Yaoi}} ah, material]] [[{{Doujinshi}} above his]] [[MoralGuardians age level]].

* ''{{Bleach}}''.
** The first time Ichigo fights Renji and gets his arse kicked, Renji says "That all you got? Come back in 2,000 years!"
*** Note that the otherwise ridiculously long amount used here is due to Soul Reapers having extremely long lives, so the saying is scaled up appropriately. Makes the next few examples a little odd, though.
*** When Ichigo faces Byakuya outside Rukia's cell, Byakuya promises to show him the gap between them he cannot close "even with a thousand years of training" before he attempts to release his zanpakuto.
** At the end of anime episode 86 (during the Bount arc), the Bount Sawatari tells Chad, Noba and Rangiku Matsumoto that they're "100 years too early" to defeat him.
*** If this Troper recalls correctly, Chad COULD have killed Sawatari if Ururu had not been stuck inside his whale doll, as killing him would have probably killed her.
** In one of the manga fillers where Soifon and Kiyone try to surreptitiously take pictures of Yoruichi, she remarks that "[Soifon] is 1000 too early to be doing that" after discovering them.

* In ''MaisonIkkoku'' episode 91, Akemi says that it's "going to take about 100 years to settle this" -meaning Kyoko and Godai's relationship squabbles. (It ends up taking 96 episodes).

-->'''Haruhi:''' You peeping Kyon! Trying to peep on Mikuru-chan's underwear? You are two-million-five-thousand-six-hundred years behind!
** Note that this is a fairly literal fan translation -- the inevitable official translation may handle it differently.
** The official English novel translation uses the same number.

--> '''Teana''': You're 10 years too early to even worry over Nanoha-san!\\

* Somewhat subverted in ''{{Bastard}}!!'' when the main character is fighting a Demon who keeps talking about how he is 400 years old. The demon has no idea that the protagonist is MUCH OLDER, which leads to the wonderful line in the dub after the demon has its face owned, "I'm OLDER THAN YOU!!!"
* Mashiro from ''{{Mai-Otome}}'' says "You couldn't catch me in a hundred years!" to her castle guards before she tries to run away from them.
* Extra in ''Idol Project'' tells a tentacle monster trying to molest her that he's "a billion years too early to touch her skin".
* From KenichiTheMightiestDisciple, [[http://www.onemanga.com/Historys_Strongest_Disciple_Kenichi/174/17/ Takeda]] is trying to get a sensei "...you're 56,700,000 years too early."
* Happens A LOT in GreatTeacherOnizuka.
* Occurs in HajimeNoIppo, particulary when Ippo challanges Eiji Date.
* ToAruMajutsuNoIndex: Subverted. When Touma first tries to punch Accelerator, Accelerator stomps the ground, sending Touma flying away while he says "Too slow. You're a whole century too slow!"
* Some random delinquent tells this to Kuroko in ToAruKagakuNoRailgun and is promptly teleported to be upside down six feet above the ground and has her age made fun of. She's just one person in a sequence of people Kuroko is having to deal with in the Level Upper incident.
* A humorous variant occurs in the second arc of UminekoNoNakuKoroNi, where Battler tells [[CreepyChild Maria]] that she's "ten years too early to be [[LetsMeetTheMeat telling someone to eat her]]," but to [[{{Lolicon}} say it to him]] [[JailBaitWait when the time comes]]. This right after telling Beatrice to make him a sandwich out of her breasts. ...It was a rather [[MoodWhiplash odd scene]], given [[KillEmAll what had just happened.]]

* {{Soul Eater}} has Black Star using this on occasion as part of his claims to be the best thing [[SmallNameBigEgo in the world]]. Probably coincidentally, but it was an amusing similarity, one flashback has a young Maka being impressed by Black Star, and her father telling her "you're twenty years too early for anything like a boyfriend!"
* SetoNoHanayome has Lunar using this line on Nagasumi when he offers to help her prepare for one of her acting roles.
* TheWorldGodOnlyKnows has Keima using this when challenging someone to a shogi match: "It's 100 years too early for you to challenge Master Tenri! First you must face her student, me!"
* Subverted in {{Psyren}}, where it doesn't come from confidence. (Chapter 142): Yoshina Ageha says to Amagi Miroku: "You're going to kill me? Just try it. After all, even if you had 10 years, you still wouldn't be able to do it." The reason he says so:[[spoiler: He has already fought with him (and won) in the future, 10 years later via time-travel.]]

* In ''SuperMarioRPG'' when you're chasing down the crocodile thief, there's a point when you have to sneak up behind him. When you do, he says "at this rate it will take 100 years for you to catch me" Each subsequent time you catch up to him, the number shrinks.
** The second time you catch him, he says it'll take fifty years. The third time you catch him, before he can come up with a proper number of years, Mallow interrupts and demands his stolen property, prompting the resulting boss fight.
* Nancy tells Yomiko that she's "100 years to early to worry about me" in ''ReadOrDie''

** His annoyance at this unit confusion makes more sense in the light of the trope.
* The ''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' series has Mion saying pretty much the same thing and Keiichi makes the same correction as the former suggestion.

* "[[EarthBound It is a gazillion years too early for you to oppose Giygas!]]"
* Akira Yuki of ''VirtuaFighter'' is famous for his "Juu'nen hayain dayo" line. Other characters make references to his taunt, and it shows up a few times in the Japanese dub of the ''VirtuaFighter''-based RPG, ''{{Shenmue}}''.
** SuperRobotWars' Ryusei Date uses the same line, most likely in tribute, considering Ryusei is an AscendedFanboy and is voiced by [[ShinichiroMiki the same man]]

* One of [[FatalFury Ryuji Yamazaki's]] win lines in every game he appears in. ''Hyaku-nen haiyen da yo!'' ("You're a hundred years too early!")
** In KOF Maximum Impact, Billy Kane will tell a defeated Alba and/or Soiree Meira, "It's a hundred years too soon for you to rule this (South)town!"
* From GitarooMan: "Not in a [[BeyondTheImpossible million billion years.]]" (infinity impossible)

* [[{{Disgaea2}} One instance]], however true (unless you grind like a fiend or are on a NewGamePlus), is used before a certain HopelessBossFight.

* Lass of the GrandChase tends to use this as a victory quote and/or a taunt.

* A variation in ''OrderOfTheStick'': when Roy finally confronts the BigBad Xykon, the lich calmly suggests that Roy is a dozen of ''levels'' too early to face him and even politely offers to postpone their showdown for him to do some LevelGrinding.

* Before the 2006 World Baseball Classic, Ichiro Suzuki spoke about how badly he wanted to "make the other teams (in the Asian group) think they wouldn't be able to beat them for the next 30 years". Then Japan [[EpicFail lost a game to South Korea]]. Of course, their broken pride was repaired when they won their first WBC title.
* Frequently mentioned in boxing, as in a recent example from ESPN's FridayNightFights:

* From KenichiTheMightiestDisciple, [[http://www.onemanga.com/Historys_Strongest_Disciple_Kenichi/174/17/ Taekada]] is trying to get a sensei "...you're 56,700,000 years too early."

* Used by Teana on the last chapter of the ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha [=StrikerS=]'' [[ComicBookAdaptation manga]] while in full {{Tsundere}} mode, when she successfully deduced that the reason for {{Baka}} Subaru's apprehension in joining the [[EmergencyServices Special Rescue squad]] was because she was unconsciously being worried that she won't be able to protect the other members of [[HeroesRUs Riot Force Six]], including...

* One of [[KingOfFighters Yamazaki's]] win quotes from ''Capcom vs. SNK 2''. "You're a thousand years too early!"

* From GitarooMan: "Not in a [[BeyondTheImpossible million billion years.]] (infinity impossible)

[[indent:40:Note that this is a fairly literal fan translation -- the inevitable official translation may handle it differently.]]

* In ''[[{{Fanfic/Ptitle0028gzjm}} Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', after Kyon's sister awakens her brother by trying to tickle him, Kyon tells her her she's a hundred years too young to try that on him.

Most commonly used before a fight. A character will often say "You're 100 years too early to be facing me." (or any number of years they choose. 100 is most common.) The English equivalent would be to call someone "too green."

Variation: "It'll be 100 years before you can do that."

Variation: [[SuzumiyaHaruhi "You're a hundred years too early]] [[LuckyStar to be defying the Chief."]]

Variation: "Try again in a hundred years."

* Used by Deidara on [[Naruto Naruto.]] "You're a hundred years too young to be giving ME orders, [[VerbalTic Hmmm!]]
