* In [[Attack on Titan]] {{spoiler|Titans can be killed by a sufficiently deep cut in the back of the neck, and thats it. Even if you decapitate them with a canon}} they will regenerate within a couple minutes.

* In ''[[Vinland Saga]]'' {{spoiler|Thorkell has a glass jaw, one punch will knock him out cold. Rarely happens, what with him being several feet taller than nearly everyone else in the series.}}

Line 37:

* The [[Big Creepy-Crawlies]] of ''[[Blue Gender]]'' are covered in tough armor that renders them almost immune to small arms fire, but have a small tube (referred to as "the core") usually mounted on their heads. Shoot that thing and the bug drops. The only way to kill Blue without hitting the core is to use a [[Humongous Mecha]]...unless of course you're [[Badass|Marlene]].

* Happens in ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]'' all the time. When facing heavily armored opponents without proper equipment, the usual tactic is to get on its back and tear open a hatch to either fry the electronic controls or shoot the driver in the head.

** It's also the ~~prefered~~ course of action for most villains who try to kill the Major. People try to crush her head or put a large caliber bullet through it at least five times.

* [[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]: "Pikachu! [[Screw the Rules I Have Plot|The horn!]] [[Beam Me Up, Scotty|Aim for]] [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors|the horn!]]"

* Pentagram marking on the body of the demons in ''[[My Balls]]'' are their magical weak spot.

* Possibly [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|the on/off button hidden in]] ''[[Chobits]]''.

* Possibly [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|the on/off button hidden in]] ''[[Chobits]]''.{{context|reason=How is this an example of the trope as written?}}

* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' had the Behemoth, a ~~HUGE~~ AS which requires the Lambda Driver to even remain standing. ~~It's~~ armor is so thick that no weapon can damage it and the Lambda Driver deflects those shots anyway. Sousuke managed to destroy it with the Arbalest by sliding between ~~it's~~ legs and firing into the cooling system's exhaust ports per Kaname's instructions. As expected, the Lambda Driver overheated and the Behemoth collapsed under ~~it's~~ own weight, killing the pilot.

* Done in the beginning arcs of the first and second seasons of ''Digimon'' where they free the creatures being controlled by destroying the [[Mind Control Device]]s.

** VenomMyotismon seemed to be pretty much invincible, even to the likes of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. His one weak point? His [[Weaksauce Weakness|crotch monster]]. The good guys exploited this, taking down the [[Big Bad]] [[Groin Attack|with a Terra Force blast to his happy place]]. Ouch.

Line 54:

* The crystals on the chests of the Skrugg in ''[[Heroman]]''.

* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'': In the [[Final Battle]], {{spoiler|when Simon and the eponymous mech fail to overpower the Anti-Spiral's [[Humongous Mecha]], he just takes the smaller Gurren Lagann mecha and boards the Anti-Spiral home planet (which is on the mecha's forehead), finishing off the Anti-Spiral himself}}.

* ''Bleach'': It's more a blind spot but it was the only option to actually have a chance at hitting {{spoiler|Aizen}}. Subverted in that he placed several layers of protection in anticipation.

* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' had a lizard monster in the fifth episode of the first season that could only be hit from a huge blinking weak spot at the base of its tail. Conveniently, Sailor Moon and Luna discover this right when the monster is holding Sailor Moon up by said tail, giving her a clean shot at it.

* In ''[[Crossbone Gundam]]'', [[The Empire|the Jupiter Empire]] has a [[Stone Wall]] called the Tortuga, with incredibly thick armor and battleship-class beam shields. In the final chapter, [[Guile Hero|Tobia]] finally destroys it by shoving a beam saber into one shoulder joint and punching it out the other side, ripping through all the internals in between.

* {{spoiler|Magical girls}} in ''[[Madoka Magica]]'' are extremely resistant to damage, especially if they have self-healing powers; but a direct hit to {{spoiler|their brightly-glowing [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Soul Gem]]}} causes instant death. {{spoiler|This happened to Mami, Kyoko, and Madoka in a previous timeline.}}

* ''[[Girls und Panzer]]'', final episode of the first series. Even a point-blank attack from one tank can't get through the opposing tank's armor - but then the tank crew's [[Cloudcuckoolander]] points out their opponent's weak point.
