Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

* In the first two seasons of ''[[Futari wa Pretty Cure|Pretty Cure]]'' the Dark King, the very embodiment of ultimate annihilation, whose goal was to destroy everything and reduce the universe and all dimensions to a state of eternal void. The only ones standing in its way were a [[Determinator|spunky]], [[Hot-Blooded]], [[Malaproper|verbally-clumsy]] [[Big Eater]], and a quiet, bookish, [[Beware the Nice Ones|selfless]] [[Teen Genius]]. Their names? [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Nagisa Misumi and Honoka Yukishiro]]. And guess what? They defeated the Dark King in direct combat. ''Three'' times! The Dark King has probably made himself into the laughing stock of every [[Eldritch Abomination]] everywhere...

* In ''[[Princess Mononoke]]'', Lady Eboshi manages to pull this off with a rifle. Unfortunately, killing said loving nature god only let out an infinitely more pissed off ''destructive'' god. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Nice job releasing Cthulhu, Eboshi.]]

* In ''[[S-Cry-ed]],'' after {{spoiler|being thrown into The Other Side, Mujo}} comes back with a borderline better form, proclaiming that his lifelong hunger for power is finally satisfied. The heroes... are unimpressed.

* Guts from ''[[Berserk]]'' takes on [[The Legions of Hell|an entire army of eldritch abominations]] armed only with a broken knife.
