An ellipsis is a series of three dots, used to create a pause in thinking or, when quoting, to omit information. Four dots can also be used at the end of a sentence to finish off ominously. That would actually be three dots and a period.
For example:
The man looked above . . . all he could see were three black silhouettes against the bright blue sky.
When the man looked above he couldn't quite believe what he saw . . . .

In the anime world, Naruto is a hero; Goku, a legend.
