Dynamic Entry: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

All of you, listen up! For these cases, you need the [[Dynamic Entry]]!

== Anime and Manga ==

** In the second Chuunin Exam, [[Ax Crazy|Anko]] introduced herself by somersaulting through the exam room window. [[Super Window Jump|It was closed.]]

** Conversely, the [[Scary Black Man|Raikage]]'s tendency to [[There Was a Door|break down walls or windows]] in order to leave a room has earned the [[Fan Nickname]] Dynamic ''Exit''.

* [[Ken Akamatsu]] seems to like this trope:

** Pictured above: This was Su's standard greeting to Keitaro in ''[[Love Hina]]''. The page pic is particularly noteworthy because she runs across a ''rooftop'' to deliver one through an open window...and somehow lands with her legs wrapped around his head.

*** Come to think of it, the girls of 3-A will do this for just about any reason. Even [[Attack Hello|to say "hello"]] in at least one case.

*** This happens a ''lot'' in ''Negima'', whenever someone barges in a scene. It's sometime justified, such as when Asuna socks [[Our Vampires Are Different|Eva]] to [[Big Damn Heroes|stop her from drinking Negi's blood]], but it just gets bizarre when [[Little Miss Snarker]] Yue does it as she interjects in a perfectly mundane conversation between her classmates. Asuna is really fond of it. Recently, Chisame seems to be picking it up, too.

*** And here she pulls [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v34/c305/6.html a GREAT (and hilarious) one] against {{spoiler|Kotaro}}

** Ch. 280 has {{spoiler|Setsuna quite literally dropping in from out of nowhere, in the process [[Big Damn Heroes|hacking off the arm of the person who was about to kill Nodoka]].}}

{{quote| '''[[Tagalong Kid|Mamoru:]]''' [[Throwing Down the Gauntlet|Fight me]], [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Primevals!]]}}

** Suzumiya [[Haruhi-chan]] in a reversal gets [[Camera Abuse|Dynamic Entry-ed by the camera]].

** Kyon's sister greeted Kyon this way when Kyon went up the stairs. Drill Kick Dynamic Entry!

** Not to mention Haruhi's moped's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=08NUAKZCTl8#t=76s infamous dynamic entry by way of cat avoidance crash.]

* When Jin in [[Kannagi]] simply could ''not'' put a foot in his mouth and was about to blow Nagi's cover, she dutifully shuts him up with a [[Gratuitous English|"Shaato Youar Mowthu"]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljhlAU-8eE0 flying kick.]

** He gets a pretty good one in Movie Seven too, saving Goku from being throttled by Meta Cooler.

** (Future) Gohan in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE0goEJJTYo&feature=related History of Trunks Movie.] "That's ten points, now we're ti--"

* Done ''spectacularly'' well at the end of volume 34 of ''[[Rave Master|Groove Adventure RAVE]]'' when Haru comes crashing ''[[There Was a Door|through a stone wall]]'' to {{spoiler|kick Lucia in the face just before he can execute Elie}}. And then he screams '''''"BRING IT!!!"''''' in an extreme close-up. (The effect is slightly lessened if you realize Hiro Mashima copied the [[Dynamic Entry]] shot WHOLE from an early chapter of ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]''.)

** The first masked man debuted this way too, nailing Chrono before he could apprehend Shamal.

** Earlier in the same season, Nanoha is interrupted from firing her Starlight Breaker by {{spoiler|Shamal shoving her arm through Nanoha's chest from behind.}}

** He also immediately chains it into the "HOW-DARE-YOU-TOUCH-MY-ADORABLE-LITTLE-BROTHER-PUNCH!!!", which breaks the arm of the Gunmen he was riding in. It's a two-parter!

*** More spectacularly, Gurren Lagann's first-ever hyperspace jump in episode 23. Simon uses the momentum to leap out of the robot, skid across a cavern and deliver a tooth-loosening [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]] punch to the [[Driven to Suicide|suicidally remorseful]] {{spoiler|Rossiu}} in the last second before the latter can shoot himself.

* Hiruma from ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'' does this when he feels the Devil Bats aren't being awesome enough.

* Kuchiha to Kon, on multiple occasions, in ''[[Amatsuki]]''.

* Caren in ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'' always does her rescues - er, "[[I Was Just Passing Through|rescues]]" - this way. Then again, it's not as dynamic as most, considering she, and most everyone else in this series, uses [[The Power of Rock]].

* Futaba does this to Gargoyle with amazing frequency in ''[[Gargoyle of the Yoshinagas]]''. Probably one of the younger dynamic kickers on this page.

* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. Episode 19. Misato and co. are about to be eaten by an Angel, when Unit 01 bursts through a wall and punches it in the face. You read that right. Dynamic Entry, as performed by a [[Humongous Mecha]]. That's what happens when you make Shinji mad.

** ''End of Evangelion''. Twice: Misato headshots a soldier from off-screen, guns down another while running and pins the last one to the nearest wall when she stops, dropping a [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]] before she shoots him in the head at point-blank range. A while later, Asuka opens her [[Last Dance]] against the MP Evas with a flying kick to her first target's skull, [[Surprisingly-Sudden Death|turning it into a massive blood splatter on impact]].

*** And that last one can optionally be executed in the N64 game in the same moment, by attacking just as Unit 02's eyes light up. A weaker variant is available at the beginning of the Bardiel fight, executed in the same way.

*** Mari pulls one off right at the beginning of the film. The Angel is about to escape, the base commander asks "what in the hell is Unit 05 doing?!"... cue said Eva firing it's thrusters underneath the hole the Angel just exited, flying after it and impaling it onto a pillar while the pilot screams "No, you DON'T!!! GET BACK HERE!!!".

*** Also at the end of the film when {{spoiler|Kaworu}} pulls one of these all the way from {{spoiler|the moon}}, impaling {{spoiler|Unit 01 with a Longinus Lance thrown from orbit}} in the process.

* Ryoma's [[Dynamic Entry]] in the ''Shin Getter Robo vs. Neo Getter Robo'' OVA, which involved jumping from the head of a 200 feet tall robot to ''dropkick a dinosaur in the face.''

* In episode 3 of ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'', Tamaki does this to a guy dressed as a doctor whom everyone assumes is a pervert.

** No one could forget the absolutely epic moment in episode 35 of ''Gundam SEED'': a ZAFT mobile suit is about to blow away most of the good guys then BAM! Enter [[Not Quite Dead]] Kira Yamato and his shiny new [[Bigger Stick|Freedom Gundam]], blowing away the offender's weapon before decapitating it with a combination of a high-speed flyby and a beam saber. Absolutely ''no one'' saw that one coming.

** And he does it ''again'' in the [[Gundam Seed Destiny|sequel]], '''multiple times'''. He even {{spoiler|saves the Minerva's bridge crew in ''the exact same way'' he saved the Archangel's back in the original series}}!

** Also, when Orihime first learns of her power from her "guardian spirits", [http://www.mangareader.net/94-497-8/bleach/chapter-43.html the grim spirit Tsubaki does this to the leader spirit Shun'u] for wasting time explaining to Orihime while a Hollow is bearing down on them.

** Finally, [[Those Two Guys|Keigo and Mizuiro]] first met [[The Hero|Ichigo]] and [[The Big Guy|Chad]] when they pull a simultaneous Dynamic Entry in front of them, by kicking two [[Delinquents]] in their faces and then running away.

** Komamura pulls one on Poww, who has Ikkaku down for the count. How? He '''punches him in the face.''' Which sends Poww flying into a house.

** More recently in the manga, {{spoiler|Nel}} and {{spoiler|Pesche}} return to the story via pulling these on Ichigo after {{spoiler|his meeting and brif fight with Ivan Azgiaro}}.

* [[Outlaw Star]]: after an episode full of a thief masquerading as a terrorist talking down to Gene and acting like an [[Insufferable Genius]] while robbing a jewelry shop on a space station, Gene gets back at him . . . by [[Refuge in Audacity|crashing his ship into the space station right in front of where the criminal is standing, and jumping out of the ship just to punch the criminal so hard his teeth are knocked out]]!

** The first season finale has "[[In-Series Nickname|Orange-kun]]" ambushing Lelouch by [[Crazy Awesome|crashing his custom aircraft through a wall, screaming "ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!!!"]] as a battlecry. It's simultanously hilarious and awesome, considering he's crazy at the time.

* Otcho from [[Twentieth Century Boys]] leaps through a church window to plant himself between his ally Kanna and a [[Mook]] pointing a shotgun at her.

* In ''[[Darker Than Black]]'', when {{spoiler|Wei is just about to kill Kirihara and Saito,}} Hei blasts a hole in the wall and flies out of the smoke feet first, directly into his face.

* The heroine of [[Flunk Punk Rumble]] and her best friend.

** And, in the manga, Izumi is the ''master'' of these. Her very first introduction was a freakin' flying kick that took 2 sheets of awesome!... {{spoiler|into Edward's face. But still awesome!}}

* [[Full Metal Panic]]: Kaname does this multiple times. In a broader definition, Sousuke also [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CmIYaUpiCs pulls one off] with the [[Humongous Mecha|Arbalest]] in Khanka: he leaps over a Savage, stabbing it's neck in the process then runs off without stopping for a moment.

** And in the Hetalia 2010 Bloodbath we have Iceland arriving at Germany's house in a Santa sleigh.

** Additionally, Big O punches through a wall to save Dorothy from a spider-mech in season 2.

** Not to mention how it's usually summoned. It usually shows up coming out of the ground and sometimes collapsing a building for good measure.

* For ''[[Durarara]]'''s Shizuo, jump-kicking people is simply too ordinary an introduction. Instead, he throws vending machines at their heads.

** [[Dynamic Entry]] is taken to its logical conclusion in Vol. 9: there's a part where all but one character enters the scene by jump-kicking or trying to jumpkick someone (mostly Izaya) in the face.

** Brock first appears in Advance Generation by throwing [[Action Bomb|Forretress]] (using Explosion as soon as he was released) at a flock of Taillow that was menacing Ash, May and Max.

** Once Ash and the gang enter Pinwheel Forest, a Sewaddle appears out of nowhere, kicks Pikachu to the ground, bites it, and uses String Shot on Ash. {{spoiler|Ash, of course, thinks that Sewaddle is cool, and ends up catching it.}}

** One of the most epic examples was Touma blowing open the doors to a church to save Orsola from Agnese and her nuns, backed by a blazing ''wall of fire'' created by Stiyl's fire demon Innocentius.

* ''[[Suite Pretty Cure]]'': Hummy has a tendency to fall from the sky, all four legs spread out wide. she has shown the ability to do this even indoors in areas where there is no logical way for her to have gotten where she's falling from.

** Ryoga also doesn't care much for [[There Was a Door|using doors]].

** In the Sabaody Arc [[Hazy Feel Turn|X]] [[Badass|Drake]] saves Urouge's butt by Dynamic Entrying (albeit using a slight variation) a ''[[Nigh Invulnerability|Pacifista]]''.

* Right when Nao was losing hope in the first Revival round of the ''[[Liar Game]]'', Akiyama appears from the window which was definitely not on the first floor.

* ''[[Inuyasha]]'': Sesshoumaru's a big fan of both the [[Big Entrance]] and the [[Dynamic Entry]]. One of his most notable examples is when Kagome, Sango and Miroku were dying from Mukotsu's poison and Mukotsu tries to rape Kagome for good measure. Claws rip through the side of Mukotsu's body, saving everyone just in time... and the reveal is that it's [[I Was Just Passing Through|Sesshoumaru]] who made the grand entrance, not Inuyasha. The sole reason this isn't an example of [[Surprisingly-Sudden Death]] is because Mukotsu is one of the walking dead, resurrected by a shikon shard, so only the removal of the shard from his body will actually kill him. Sesshoumaru achieves that on his second attack.

{{quote| [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Ladies. Gentlemen. You have eaten well. You have eaten Gotham's wealth. It's spirit. Your feast is nearly over. From now on... None of you are safe.]]}}

* Shockwave in the Marvel Comics ''[[The Transformers (Comic Book)|The Transformers]]'' series makes his debut by attacking the Autobots when Prime's making a victory speech.

* If you had a nickel for every time [[Superman]] has crashed [[There Was a Door|through a wall]] into an unsuspecting foe, you'd be a rich man.

** ''Even when [[There Was a Door|there is a door]].'' An ''open'' door, occasionally!

* In ''[[Tiberium Wars (Fanfic)|Tiberium Wars]]'', Brother-Captain Allen uses a [[Dynamic Entry]] to {{spoiler|save Sandra Telfair from being raped.}}

** Don't forget Jayne running into a giant brawl in the cargo bay [[Incendiary Exponent|while one fire.]]

* The [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]] [[Reconstruction]] [[Nobody Dies (Fanfic)|Nobody Dies]] has {{spoiler|Mana and Jet Alone Prime}} interrupt the battle with Ramiel by executing one of these ''[[Up to Eleven|from orbit]]''.

== Film ==

* Played even straighter (heh-eh, heh heh!) in ''Victor/Victoria'' when loyal Squash bravely, uh, busts in on King Marchand and "Count Grazinski" ''in flagrante delicto.''

* Either reminiscent of or the inspiration for Rorscharch's Dynamic Fridge on poor Moloch, Kato (having been instructed films ago to keep ambushing Clouseau at any opportunity as training) managed to get the drop on the Sellers character by attacking from the icebox. Being rather cold by then, he was a lot more savage than usual..

** This is only fair, as Tony Jaa is a grandmaster of this technique and uses it in both Ong-Bak (outside the cave), and even more impressively in Tom Yum Goong / The Protector (party club on the river).

*** Possibly Mr. Jaa's [[Magnum Opus|crowning achievement]] in the field of [[Dynamic Entry]], from [[Tom Yum Goong]] / [[The Protector]]: [http://i41.tinypic.com/2uj3413.gif flying knee dominoes]!

* Referred to as "the element of surprise" in the ''[[Inspector Gadget]]'' [[The Movie|Movie]]. The surprise, in this case, being the Gadgetmobile slamming into the back of Claw's limo.

* In ''[[Equilibrium]]'', Preston makes his entrance by having two SWAT team members shoot the hinges off a door as he leaps at it, timing it so that he kicks in the hingeless door and slides into the pitch black room, into the midst of a dozen or so men armed with automatic weaponry. They stop shooting, the whole room goes dark, and for a moment we think nothing's going to happen.... then there's a 30 second scene comprised entirely of muzzle flashes illuminating Preston blowing all of his enemies away with no effort whatsoever.

''([[Bang Bang BANG]])'' }}

* The ''[[Transporter]]'' series is ''made'' of [[Dynamic Entry]], sometimes with kicks, and sometimes with [[Car Fu|cars.]]

* {{spoiler|Scorponok}} gets a ''very'' effective one of these in ''[[Transformers Film Series|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]''. It makes an awesome return for the character, who hadn't been mentioned since disappearing in the first film, but doesn't end well for him.

** That scene was actually a ''Double'' Dynamic Entry, as just seconds before, {{spoiler|Jetfire took out (a?) Mixmaster with one.}}

* ''Brannigan'' (1975) opens with [[John Wayne]] kicking down the door and saying "Knock, knock!"

* In the ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'' Live Action movie, this occurs to great effect. As a pair of Zeed's thugs take a woman into a house to be raped, Kenshiro kicks through the freaking wall and dislocates a thug's jaw, knocking him out, in the funniest moment in the movie.

* In ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]: Final Chapter'', after being overwhelmed by [[Kamen Rider ZO|Doras]], Decade, Diend, Kivala and Kuuga receive aid from their [[Alternate Universe]] allies (the rest of the Heisei Riders). They all come in attacks blazing, destroying all of Doras' monster mooks in the process.

* ''[[Lucky Number Slevin]]'' features The Fairy's bodyguards, ex-Mossad agents who enter the scene after a panic button has been pressed. Their mission: Kill anyone but The Fairy.

* The fight between [[No Name Given|The Bride]] and Elle Driver in ''[[Kill Bill]]'' Volume 2 starts off with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo8ZM7PyRzU this].

** Dynamic Entries are [[Iron Man|Iron Man's]] trademark. It's easier to list the times he ''hasn't'' done one. Though no matter how often he does it, it ''never'' gets old or repetitive. He's just awesome that way.

* In ''[[The Dresden Files]]'' book ''Dead Beat'', Harry Dresden does this for the team of Wardens when he {{spoiler|has Sue the T-Rex leap over them and stomp an oncoming car.}}

** In ''Blood Rites'', Murphy does this for Harry, when she kicks one of Lord Raith's bodyguards {{spoiler|so hard it snaps the bodyguard's neck}}.

* ''[[Rainbow Six]]'' does this quite frequently as part of their trademark hostage rescues. Generally, the sequence of events opens with the teams' resident [[Cold Sniper|Cold Snipers]] scoring [[Boom! Headshot!|headshots]] on any terrorist who's pointing his gun at the hostages. Moments after that come the flashbangs, the detcord ripping open the doors/windows, and Rainbow team members emerging from ''nowhere'' (or so it would look like from the inside).

== Live Action TV ==

* In ''[[Dollhouse]]'', Echo's handler has managed two, one of which is cross-referenced under [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].

** Sierra gets a spectacular one in {{spoiler|Ghost}}. Perhaps a deconstruction, as {{spoiler|Echo}} had already solved the situation diplomatically when Sierra arrived.

** not to mention Mal, Zoe and Jayne's [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment in "Safe"

** And Jubal Early knocks out Shepherd Book with a flying kick entrance.

* In the ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' series finale, there are two partial cases of [[Dynamic Entry]]. The first occurs when the [[Big Damn Heroes]] realize that the [[Invisibility Cloak]] on their shuttle is useless against the [[Big Bad]]'s sensors. As they are attempting to outrun alien [[Energy Weapons]], the ''[[Cool Ship|Daedalus]]'' arrives to cover them. Unfortunately, the ''Daedalus'' [[Beam Spam]] does little to hurt the [[Big Bad]]'s ship. A similar case occurs near the end of the episode with the [[Atlantis]] city-ship arriving seconds before the [[Big Bad]] can unleash a barrage aimed at Earth. Once again, there is little humans can do against the enemy.

* Anna Devane of ''[[General Hospital]]'' is guilty of this as well. She once repelled through the skylight of her daughter's apartment and when asked by said if she could ever use the door like a normal person, she replied, "Doors are so pedestrian."

* ''[[Saturday Night Live]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILvkEHQPHHg&feature=related People Getting Punched Just Before Eating].

{{quote| '''Jack:''' Hi, kids. Miss me?}}

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. In "[[Musical Episode|Once More With Feeling]]" Buffy kicks the door to the Bronze off its hinges, causing the dancing demon [[Monster of the Week]] to quip, "I love a good entrance."

** The first time by Gibby and Guppy and the second time by Mrs. Benson and T-Bo...''on a MOTORCYCLE.''

* In [[Castle]], being a cop show, doors suffer much abuse. Castle is thrilled when he finally gets to break down a door himself (albeit ungracefully) and save Beckett.

** [[The Hero|Gentaro]] is also quite fond of attacking Zodiarts this way. [[Badass Normal|While un-transformed.]]

* Skyrider, the main character from (what else) ''[[Kamen Rider Skyrider]]'', does this quite often crashing his motorcycle, the Sky Turbo, through walls, windows and anything else. It even has it's own name: Rider Break.

** There's also the blood magus from complete arcana who I'd say was the King of this trope. His 'Blood Walk' ability allows him to enter any creature with blood's bloodstream then essentially teleport to any other creature in range (which is a long way, basically a teleport spell). Upon arrival you burst out of the target, forcing a fortitude save and huge damage (though you can choose not to if you're going to an ally). So his dynamic entry is BURSTING out of an enemy's body in a shower of blood from miles away.

* [[GURPS]] has the Flying Kick and Pole-Vault Kick skills. Flying Kick can be combined with Flying Leap for spectacular entries.

** Ork Stormboyz led by Boss Zagstruk can.

** the tyranid mawloc can enter play by shooting out of a large blast if his deep strike lands on an enamy (hes also the only deep striker that can be intentionaly placed to deep strike in this situation)

== [[Video Games]] ==

** The move Fake Out is a low-powered move with decent PP that is guaranteed to make the opponent flinch and miss their turn, with the catch that it can only be used if the user has just entered the battle.

* This is how Captain Falcon first appears in ''The Subspace Emissary'' in ''[[Super Smash Bros]] Brawl''. Those poor [[Pikmin]]...*sniff*

* This is how Akuma made his debut in ''[[Street Fighter|Super Street Fighter II Turbo]]''. Poor M. Bison...

** He repeats the process to [[Butt Monkey|Dan]] in ''Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo''.

* The original ''[[Mercenaries]]'' opens with the player mercenary of choice driving his/her humvee out the back of a C-130. While it is flying. Into a war zone. You then have to power through enemy blockades to reach the Coalition HQ.

* Your allies in ''[[Persona 4]]'' [[Taking the Bullet|are all too happy to push you out of the way to take a shot that would have killed you;]] [[Badass|Kanji]], however, insists on a flying kick to your head to move you out of the way.

* In [[King of Fighters]] Maximum Impact 2, Chae Lim enters her stage in story mode by kicking through the screen door. And splitting it in two. And leaping into the stage.

* A Ragna vs. Jin versus mode match in ''[[Blaz Blue]]'' will open with a Double Dynamic Entry. Both characters enter the stage from the sides with their charge moves, cross pass each other, then the announcer interrupts them to start the match.

** This is actually a shout to Naruto. The art director of Tekken helped design some costumes for shippuden, as a result [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzKlPUDYtCM Lars became a character in Ninja Storm 2]

** Actually, the "Dynamic Entry" move is more of a [[Flash Step]] (he just shuffles forward quickly). For a more accurate [[Dynamic Entry]], his running left kick attack (where he heroically leaps up and thrusts his foot in his opponent's face from a running start) is probably a closer example.

** The slow-motion breaches could also be considered this, although in that case it's the player doing so.

** ''[[Modern Warfare]] 3'' features a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment when a ''[[Tank Goodness|tank]]'' exits without warning directly through a brick wall, right on top of a group of bad guys.

* The [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Cyborg Ninja]] in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' makes his entrance by slicing off [[Magnificent Bastard|Revolver Ocelot's]] right hand just before he even appears on-screen.

* Q in ''[[Street Fighter]] III: Third Strike''. Here we have a spooky creep in a trenchcoat who doubles as a badass brawler dude, and he just JUMPS ONTO THE SCREEN. Although on the stages that take place in urban areas, his intro is even more elaborate. A group of children run off the screen as Q walks in eerily.

* ''[[Splinter Cell]]'': You. All the time. This trope is probably at its height when Fisher can fall onto a guard's head with other guards watching. You'll probably get shot at a little, but hey, the awesomeness of the dramamtic entry is worth it.

* In [[Marvel vs. Capcom]], swapping out partners causes the incoming character to make a Dynamic Entry, and assists can be used in a similar manner.

* In ''[[League of Legends]]'', Pantheon's ultimate, Grand Skyfall.

* After rescuing Kotone from a group of thugs at the end of Day 1 in ''[[Kenka Bancho]]: Badass Rumble'', Aya "introduces" herself to you this way, leaping to Kotone's defense against entirely the wrong thug.

** It's also possible to use the zipline to kick mooks in the chest and one challenge has you combine this with [[Destination Defenestration]] for extra awesome.

** A well timed [[Rocket Jump]] from a Soldier or Demoman can also achieve this effect.

* In ''[[Dragon Age]]: Origins'', {{spoiler|the High Dragon}} will not attack unless you summon it. Do so out in the open, however, and it will probably land right on top of the party.

* One of the features of the Awesome Button in Saints Row: The Third.

* [[Septerra Core]]. Every single summon is this.

** The first technique is used when falling from a dangerous height. If augmented, the Icarus Landing system will activate and cover Adam in a ball of electricity that protects him from falling damage. While falling the player has the option to make Adam [[Ground Pound|smash the ground]] which releases a shockwave that staggers anyone nearby. Not only is this extremely flashy, but it also creates some extremely funny gameplay moments[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SchOC5LmY54\].

** The second technique is used on breakable pieces of wall where Adam can [[There Was a Door|punch his way through]] using the armstrenght augmentation. If a Guard is positioned behind the wall Adam will snap his neck in the process.

** If you're on Sakuya's path then you can be invited to a party which is literally crashed by [[Cloudcuckoolander|Oko San]], who breaks through a window in search of [[Trademark Favorite Food|pudding]].

** In one of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2KAJ6EqTPQ trailers] for the [[Updated Rerelease]], Abysswalker Artorias does this to a monster by jumping down and impaling it with his BFS.

* Done by Ten Winds in [[Keychain of Creation]], near the beginning. ''[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0003.html JUSTICE!]'' It is then done in homage on [http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0355.html this page] by Karen, complete with [[Unsound Effect]].

** Elan [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0386.html did] during his return from Cliffport, after [[Took a Level In Badass|taking a level in Dashing Swordsman]]. In fact, his prestige class gets reduced damage from leaping through windows for this explicit purpose.

* ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'': Oasis actually uses one of these to [http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=090506 kill off a recurring character].

* ''It's Walky'': In a possible lampshade-hanging, Sal makes a point of jumping through windows and walls at every opportunity, even if there's a perfectly good door available.

* [[Homestuck]]: Jade Harley shows us [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003688 how] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003689 it's] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003690 done]. {{smallcaps| [[Unsound Effect|"CLOBBER"]]}}

** [http://captainosaka.deviantart.com/gallery/704630#/d4rnd4a And he does a far more traditional one later on] to Tymilph.

* In [[Trope Overdosed the Webcomic]], Bob [http://tropeoverdosed.pcriot.com/?p=111 does one of these].

* In Eatatau, a webcomic that is totally not based on Warhammer 40k, Kor'la made one of these on {{spoiler|the totally-not-dark-eldar who he thought here holding Sha'shiva captive.}}

* [[Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff (Webcomic)|Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff]]: Sweet Bro [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sweetbroandhellajeff/?cid=033.jpg skateboarding through a brick wall].

** And in a fan-made video, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJF_rYHE8Ew&feature=related KUNG FU COCK CRUSHER!]

* In ''[[Endstone]]'', [http://endstone.net/2009/04/10/issue-1-page-11/ Cole after the pieces of the Endstone]

* ''[[Beyond the Canopy]]''. The first time Glenn met Glade, she was delivering a flying kick to the face of someone bullying him.

* [[Tower of God]]: Yuri introduces herself to Baam by jumping down on his face.

== Western Animation ==

** Appa tends to do this a lot, on account of being a ten-ton flying bison with airbending powers.

* Tigger from ''[[Winnie the Pooh]]'' enters like this all the time.

* In ''Superman/Batman: Public Enemies'', Captain Marvel strikes Superman in such a manner.

* Optimus Prime makes his first Earth appearance in ''[[Transformers Cybertron]]'' this way. Thundercracker is circling for another strafing run on Landmine and the human companions. There is a dramatic glint right above the trees. It turns out to be Optimus in flying fire truck mode. Saying "I hope you don't mind if I ''butt in!''", he [[Ramming Always Works|ra]][[Car Fu|ms]] Thundercracker, and chases him into a canyon. The end result is that Thundercracker runs away after having his own missiles blown up in his face.

* In ''[[The Lion King]]'', the hyenas chased Simba and Nala into a corner, where Simba attempted to chase them off with his "roar". They laughed and encouraged him to do it again. Only this time, it was [[Papa Wolf|someone]] [[Big Damn Heroes|they]] [[Oh Crap|didn't]] [[I Am Your Opponent|expect.]]

** Spike gets a couple on Twilight Sparkle in the "Feeling Pinkie Keen" episode.

* Gerald from ''[[Sid the Science Kid]]'' does this before the start of Rug Time, but his version of this is usually themed to the question of the day.
