[[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

Not to be confused with [[Why Did You Make Me Hit You?]]

** 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.
* For a [[True Companions]] example, ''[[
* in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' When Al makes Ed stop trying to beat Tucker to death, and Tucker continues to goad him on. Al tells him that if he doesn't shut up, HE'LL be the one beating Tucker. Al is made of nothing but steel like armor at this point, so if he starts beating you, it will hurt a lot more than if Ed gets a shot at you.
** In "Fullmetal vs. Flame" Col. Mustang has a flashback to Ishbal, in a situation with a young soldier he caught off guard, but hesitates to kill. Both Mustang and the boy know that if the kid so much as raises his rifle, Mustang will kill him. The kid does anyway.
Line 30:
** Actually happens ''twice'' in ''[[Star Wars|Revenge of the Sith]]''. Anakin saying "Don't make me kill you" is one, but ironically at the end of that duel, [[I Have the High Ground|Obi-Wan has the high ground]] and Anakin is about to do something really stupid. Obi-Wan's reply? "Don't try it."

* During Kyuuzou's early duel scene in ''[[The Seven Samurai]]'' it's mentioned by a spectator that Kyuuzou asked his challenger not to duel him, because he would certainly be killed. [[Single
** Pay attention during the practice duel. Kyuuzou clearly landed a killing blow (if they weren't wielding bamboo shoots).
* ''[[In the Line of Fire]]'' - would-be assassin Mitch Leary is toying with Secret Service agent Frank Horrigan. He doesn't actually want to harm Frank, though,
* In ''[[The Prince of Egypt]]'', right before the plague of the firstborn Moses is practically begging his brother Ramses not to let things continue, all while staring at Ramses's son. Ramses refuses, which upsets Moses. In the end, Ramses son dies.
* The second half of 2010's B-movie ''Half Moon'' consists largely of the werewolf, Jacob, cuffed to a chair, held at gunpoint by the prostitute, Rose. She's trying to convince him to give her the combination to his safe so she can take the money to appease her pimp, while he's trying to convince her to leave with the money he's already given her (he needs the rest to pay for anti-lycanthropy treatments) before he transforms and kills them.
