| - Whenever a character, be it the Asian and Nerdy hero or the computer genius villain, decides to hack into the opponent's computer and mess up with his plans, he'll never stop at just making the computer malfunction. You've got to do it with style. And so, a Skull and Crossbones image shall take the entire screen of the hacked computer, possibly followed by the voice of the hacker laughing in the background. Alternatively, an 8Bit image of the character doing the hacking, or his logo, or perhaps a mix of the above, shall appear on the screen, such as a Skull and Crossbones, only the skull is wearing the very same hat the hacker wears. Named after the fact that Skull and Crossbones happen to be the Pirate's symbol of choice. Note that the trope is rarely, if ever, performed by an actual pirate, since they usually try not to be noticed. Examples of Hacked by a Pirate include: and
* The lead character of Bloody Monday Fujimaru, known as 'Falcon', always leaves his personal symbol of a diving falcon at the screen of every computer he visits as a calling card.
* Radical Edward from Cowboy Bebop tends to do this. Although Ed's more into smiley faces and other sillyness.
* In Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pegasus does this by showing his favorite cartoon rabbit character when he counter-hacks Kaiba trying to hack into his system.
