[[You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry]] covers most situations where a powerful character is trying to deter an attack. But sometimes there's [[Angst]] involved, or the powerful character is practically begging the attackers not to attack, for any number of reasons:
* powerful character will go [[Berserk Button|berserk]] and won't be able to stop himself
* the attacker is a friend/family/[[
* the powerful character is a [[Martial Pacifist]]
* powerful character just wants to keep the attacker alive

▲{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[Bleach]]'', Captain Kyoraku, one of the oldest captains, encounters a hopelessly inexperienced and outmatched Chad in the second season. He doesn't exactly beg for him not to attack, but makes an extensive attempt at parley, clearly for no reason other than the fact he didn't want to hurt him.
** Kyoraku seems to have this as his default mechanism. During the Fake karakura Town arc, he (along with Stark) tries to make the point that a duel between such powerful men would be needlessly destructive. Jushiro Ukitake simultaneously has one of these moments with the fraccion, Lilynette.
Line 46:
== Literature ==
* [[Gaia's Vengeance|Filforth]], an ''[[Our Angels Are Different|angel]]'' in ''[[Stationery Voyagers]]'', warns the [[Depraved Homosexual|Crooked]] [[Strawman Political|Rainbow]] to stop rioting and to stop harassing the Voyagers. They opt to gang rape him instead, specifically [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?|because he's an angel]]. [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|Tracheae catch fire]].
* ''[[The Witcher
* ''[[Honor Harrington]]'', during peace talks after decade-long wars:
{{quote|"Speaking for myself, as an individual, and not for my Star Empire or my Queen, I implore you to accept Her Majesty's proposal. I've killed too many of your people over the last twenty T-years, and your people have killed too many of mine. Don't make me kill any more, Madame President. Please."}}
Line 53:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'': Riker, to his new girlfriend Yuta, who turned out to be a villain (the misguided type).
* From ''[[Battlestar Galactica
{{quote|'''Kara:''' [to Sam] I'm in a different place now. I... I, I don't know how else to explain it to you, but I got out of that cell and it's like someone painted the world in different colors. And I look at you and I want to tear your eyes out just for looking at me. I just want to hurt someone and it might as well be you. So you should probably go before that happens.}}
* From [[JAG]], when [[Authority Equals Asskicking|Adm. Chegwidden]], a former SEAL, gets into a scrape with a mafioso:
Line 68:
* Mal does this [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|while dressed as a woman]] in ''[[Firefly]]'':

{{quote|'''The Illusive Man:''' Don't interfere with my plans Shepard. I won't warn you again.}}
** In all 3 games, Paragon Shepard's approach to hostile situations is essentially "I'd ''like'' us to get along...but I have a fully loaded arsenal at my fingertips and I'm really good at using it."
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 101 ⟶ 96:
* Gaz on ''[[Invader Zim]] seems'' to imply this when she has a hard time understanding the stupidity and lameness of Dib.
{{quote|'''Gaz:''' "That was your fate of the world work? Jumping in a puddle? ...You do realize I'm going to have to destroy you now."}}
