** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njsS7S4U9Xo This song] is pretty much Luffy's Big Damn Heroes theme.
** Jimbei's first [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: During the Whole Cake Arc, Opera (a commander in Big Mom's army, a huge, hulking brute whose body is made of... cream) has Luffy and Nami chained up in a cell, and is about to torture Nami for information, threatening to shoot her with a crossbow every five seconds until she talks. Jimbei forces his way in, breaking the door down, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqgTTKEJ69k and floors Opera] with one punch to the stomach. [[Bond One-Liner|"Sorry, why don't you sleep a while?"]] he snarks.
** Rayleigh does this again in the Egghead Arc. It looks bad for Boa Hancock, with both the Marines ''and'' the Blackbeard Pirates invading Amazon Lily the two factions at a standoff and the Marine Commander in a no-win situation, Teach willing (and very able) to kill Boa, which would result in hundreds of casualties (Boa has used her Devil Fruit power to petrify most of them, and if she dies, there is no way to change them back). Then Raleigh appears. He doesn’t even have to fight anyone, [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|he simply ''orders'' Blackbeard to let her go, tells Boa to restore her victims, and then orders Teach and the Marines to leave.]] And they all do what he says. ''That'' is how much [[The Dreaded|everyone is afraid]] of the First Mate of the Roger Pirates.▼
** Pulled off in spades by Kuma, also in the Egghead Arc, combining it with [[Papa Wolf]]. Just when Jaygarcia Saturn has the heroes on the ropes and is about to kill Bonney, Kuma appears out of nowhere, effortly defeating Saturn's entire batallion of Marines in a manner of seconds (this includes a Vice Admiral and another Pacifista) and then clocks the noble ''hard'' with his a Busoshoku Haki-coated fist; for the first time in this previously-[[Curb Stomp Battle]], Saturn seems genuinely afraid, and he ''should'' be - he knows how powerful Kuma is because he forced Kuma to volunteer to undergo the process to become a Pacifista years ago, [[Faustian Rebellion| his side of the deal to save Bonney's life.]]
* Subverted for laughs in ''[[Eureka Seven]]'''s infamous football episode. When things aren't looking good for the Gekko team, Holland takes off his coat and declares that he's going in. Cut to the score of 34-0 against the Gekkostate.
** Played straight in the final episode, with {{spoiler|Renton blasting his way through thousands of Coralians to rescue Eureka, who is trapped in the scub coral command cluster and not expecting any rescue.}}

* This happened often in the first two seasons of ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'', complete with some great background music.
** In "''Noodles: Roamin' Off''", after [[Terrible Trio|Team Rocket]] has separated, James goes to catch a violent shiny Metagross, but gets in over his head ([[Did Not Do the Research|He tried to fight it with Psychic-type Mime Jr. and Grass-type Carnivine]], neither of which are very strong against Psychic/Steel Metagross). Just when it looks like he's at its non-existent mercy, Yanmega and Seviper show up with Jessie to save him (not that ''that'' should've worked either).
