Line 35:
*** Also there is in-game achievement "Punch Diablo".
* In ''[[Warriors Orochi]]'', you get to punch out the Serpent King Orochi and, of course he returns. He becomes even more badass in the sequel when you see just how many people he punched out, including an example where Orochi himself punches out a Cthulhu even bigger than himself-The Gods.
* An "Did You Just {{spoiler|Make Out With}} Cthulhu" example (see also the ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' example) occurs in the good ending of ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'', when Adell stops the real Overlord Xenon, {{spoiler|Rozalin}}, by {{spoiler|Frenching her}}. {{spoiler|Did You Just Make Out With Cthulhu}} is now its own trope (sort of) - see {{spoiler|[[Divine Date]].}}
** A straighter example would be when Adell pulls a [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]] on {{spoiler|Rozalin's [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]}}, an [[Omnicidal Maniac]] that just finished thoroughly trouncing a level 1200 (in standard RPG levels, by the way) overlord without even breaking a sweat. Did He Just [[Bright Slap]] Cthulhu? Yes, and it ''worked''.
** Also in ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' you can fight and ''defeat'' Laharl (the aforementioned level 1200 overlord). To put it into perspective, Laharl is the protagonist of the first game with enough power to blow up a planet out of hand. And in the PSP remake of the original you can fight Zetta, who is stated to be the most powerful being in existence. Then there's Baal or The Dark Sun...
** In the [[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice|third game]], Raspberyl prevents Mao's unleashing of his REALLY evil side (a borderline [[Cosmic Horror]] in his own right) by [[Cooldown Hug|hugging him]]. TWICE.
** Basically, in the Disgaeaverse, there are a number of characters who are fully capable of punching out Cthulhu.
Line 185:
** In ''[[Sonic and The Secret Rings]]'' this trope is also shown (quite literally), where The genie and evil villain the Erazor Djinn uses all the rings to turn into a [[Body Horror|Horrific monstrosity]] called "Alf Layla wa-Layla" (Basically, one thousand and one nights in Arabian.), and begins to recreate the world in his own image, only to be stopped by Darkspine Sonic. Meaning, you knock his own attack back at him, fly up, and start punching the holy hell out of him.
** ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'' (the 360/PS3 version, at least) is notable in that someone - namely, the Gaia Colossus - literally ''does'' punch out the game's local Cthulhu; at the end of the fight, it rears back, zooms forward, and [[Sonic the Hedgehog/Awesome|delivers the left haymaker of]] ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog/Awesome|justice]]'' [[Sonic the Hedgehog/Awesome|to Dark Gaia's face]], stunning him long enough for Super Sonic to deliver the final blow.
*** In the Wii/PS2 version, you have to make him punch out Dark Gaia manually. Emphasis on the words "[[Punch
* The ''[[Soul Blazer]]'' trilogy has a trilogy of this trope - In ''Soulblazer'', you kill the powerful demon/god(?) Deathtoll with the Soul Blade (admittedly the most powerful sword in the whole world. In ''Terranigma'', you defeat the evil god Dark Gaia with what is essentially a SPEAR, and most heinously of all in ''[[Illusion of Gaia]]'' you also defeat the evil god Dark Gaia with nothing but your own ectoplasmic arm (as Shadow)!
* Even if you use the gothic lolita in ''[[Soul Series|Soul Calibur IV]],'' you can defeat a [[Physical God]] who not only tamed Soul Edge, but actually created its counterpart.
