Nicknames: "The Reverse Jumpscare Logo", "Blue Thunder of Doom Followed By Ethereal Bronze Logo"

Logo: On a blue background, many lightning bolts shoot all over the screen, making the screen turn white on some occasions. As the last lightning bolt appears, "ROPPONICA", colored in a beige/blue color, moves in as letters from all sides of the screen with trails coming out of them. The letters then fade to the center of the screen in sky blue as diagonal lines and dots mark themselves in. The logo then shines as diagonal exclamation points appear in the Os and the logo starts to turn silver, then bronze and zooms in.

FX/SFX: The lightning and the logo forming.

Music/Sounds: Starts with an ominous tune with the sounds of thunder, and then a peaceful synth percussion tune starts right after the lightning.

Music/Sounds Variant: On Shuto Kôsoku toraiaru, the percussion in the theme is missing, making it sound more peaceful.

Availability: Seen on films distributed in Japan by the company, such as Akutoku no sakae and Shuto Kôsoku toraiaru.

Editor's Note: The lightning at the beginning and the theme used on that part may surprise some people, but the rest of the logo is more peaceful.
