Line 99:
* People who've been reading ''[[Black Butler]]'' know from the outset that Ciel and Sebastian won't get successfully robbed by a group of homeless Indian immigrants in ragged clothes, no matter the difference in numbers. This is subverted when the new characters Soma and Agni appear, and Soma orders Agni to help their countrymen. Agni turns out to be Sebastian's equal in fighting. In a double subversion, Soma figures out rather quickly that they were siding with criminals and orders Agni to switch sides. The most one-sided [[Curb Stomp Battle]] in the entire series ensues.
* In an episode of ''[[The Seven Deadly Sins (manga)|The Seven Deadly Sins]]'', the Ten Commandments try to pick a fight with Escanor, believing (wrongly) that this incredibly handsome, arrogant, muscular, Adonis-like hunk is just another mortal fighter, and not the Lion's Sin of Pride and God of the Sun that he is. Even so, after Escanor proceeds to cut Galand in half with a single swipe of his sword, the others don't have the sense to back off...
* A common occurrence in ''[[How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord]]'', the "monster" in question being Diablo. The first time was when the stuck-up snob of a wizard Gallak tired to sic his giant level 30 fire-breathing salamander on Diablo and his companions. Diablo himself is level 150, and makes short work of the lamb in lion's clothing. Since then, it seemed every villain with a chip on his shoulder and a rotten attitude would underestimate the 6-foot-5 guy with scary black robes, facial tattoos and demon-horns whose name is ''literally'' a name for the Devil for some.... odd reason. Of course, in all fairness, Diablo isn't too confident of his own abilities, as unbeknownst to everyone, is an anxiety-ridden, anti-social nerd who was pulled into this fantasy world and turned into the overpowered character he used in a MMORPG.
