* ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'': One exceptionally frustrating exception to the rule that "[[The Movie]] is more explicit": In the movie, Raoh confronts Shin in Southern Cross. We cut away, and then when Kenshiro faces Shin later, their fight consists of one punch before Shin dies from an attack inflicted by Raoh earlier. For those keeping score, that's ''two'' fights the audience is cheated out of.

* ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' actually as a minor case of this ''in print form'': when {{spoiler|Luxus}} sets up hundreds of objects that will destroy a populated town, a full chapter is spent setting up having all of the guild members come together to destroy them all first, but then ''we see none of these attacks being launched'' as the very next page just skips to the explosion(s) made from the objects being wrecked [[Implausible Synchrony|all at once]]. This was fixed in the anime.

* ''[[Ranma One Half|Ranma ½]]'': When Ranma is fighting skating martial artist Mikado Sanzenin there is a scene where it appears the latter is spinning Ranma around madly injuring him and preventing a counterattack. Only Akane's sharp eyes are able to see the Ranma is actually pummelling the hell out of him with blows almost too fast to see. It's only after the fight when Mikado's partner, Azusa asks if Mikado won the fight that Akane points out he has actually been knocked unconscious despite still being on his feet.

* The ''[[Devil May Cry: The Animated Series]]'' is, sadly, loaded with these. There is one episode in particular in which Dante gets purposely sent into jail in order to rescue a man under the request of his sister. Inside, Dante finds out said jail is run by demons in disguise who periodically release all the inmates in order to [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game|hunt them down]]. Once the "game" starts, a [[Good Old Fisticuffs|disarmed]] Dante calmly gets out of his cell, stands before a bunch of demons and adopts a [[Asskicking Pose|fighting stance]]. Cue the fade to black and when we're back Dante is calmly walking away from a bunch of beaten up demons...

* [[Legend of Himiko]] also suffers from these. Especially in the penultimate episode.
