Typical in cases of [[Bizarre Alien Biology]].

Line 26:
** Yamamoto deliberately tanks {{spoiler|Aizen's}} sword to the gut in the same tactic Kenpachi used {{spoiler|to be certain he knew where Aizen was as a counter against Aizen's [[Master of Illusion|shikai]]. Later on, he sacrifices his own left arm to cast a spell that's designed to take out Aizen.}} Unfortunately, Aizen manages to escape but he's so shaken he leaves himself wide open to attack by Ichigo who previously couldn't even hit him.
* ''[[Naruto]]'' allows Kabuto to stab him through the hand with a kunai, so that he can hold him while he forms a Rasengan with his other hand to hit Kabuto with.
** Kabuto, himself, kinda pulled this off a little earlier in the same battle. Twice none the less. ("Kinda" because the injury was self-inflicted.) First time was when he fought [[Super Strength|Tsunade]] and he slit his own wrist in order to splash her with the blood and exploit her [[Afraid of Blood|severe blood phobia]] for a quick victory. The second time was when Naruto used his [[MesMe's a Crowd]] technique and he splashed some blood in the eyes of one clone, effectively blinding it.
** When Hayate finds out about the Sand and Sound Village invading, he tries to cut Baki with his sword. Baki just ''lets him'', grabs the sword after it was lodged into his shoulder, and uses his other hand to kill Hayate with [[Razor Wind]].
** Neji lets Kidomaru hit him with an arrow - but directing it away from his heart - to send a chakra burst through the thread to stun him, leaving him defenseless against a killing blow.
Line 55:
* In the second episode of the ''[[Read or Die (Anime)|Read or Die]]'' OVA, Nancy tricks Genjo Sanzo into stabbing her with his bo, which then allows Yomiko to attack and defeat him.
* Palparepa flies out of his [[Humongous Mecha]] to stab Guy for the final strike in ''[[Gao Gai Gar|Gao Gai Gar FINAL]]''. Guy takes the opportunity to give [[Troper Fan Nicknames|Doctor God]] some G-Stone to the face {{spoiler|and rip the Loud G-Stone right off his eye, given the motion of his arm.}}
* In part 3 of ''[[Jo JosJo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure]]'', Jotaro uses his body weight as leverage to snap a cursed sword in half, as touching the hilt would have had him become possessed by it.
* Performed by Kazuki in ''[[Busou Renkin]]'', who turns his lance back into its (nigh-indestructible) kakugane form in order to stop himself being cut clean in half by his opponent's apparently unstoppable gyakudou technique.
** To elaborate: When he's not using his lance, it replaces his ''heart''. So he only got cut partly in half.
Line 156:
 
== Web Original ==
* [[Anti -Hero]] [[Badass]] [[Heroic Sociopath]] Belphanior from ''[http://www.peldor.com/ The Adventures]''is quite prone to that tactic, thanks for his [[Evil Weapon]] which eats souls of slain enemies and heals wounds of wielder at the same time.
* In ''[[Whateley Universe]]'', Phase pulls this on Chaka while sparring, since Phase can change the density of parts of her body. The weapon goes right through her intangible chest to nail Chaka. Lancer [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this immediately afterward.
* ''Penny Arcade Dungeons And Dragons Podcast'': Binwin falls victim to this several times, surrounding himself with enemies so Jim can unleash a fireball on the lot of them.
