Interesting Situation Duel: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* In ''[[Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto]]'' Akizuki and Kanna fight also by night, in a labyrinth of slightly translucent paper walls, that is illuminated by candelabras. Akizuki has a sword and Kanna has guns.

* In ''[[Ranma ½]]'', the Water Citadel is a hollowed-out mountain filled with high-pressure water, which bursts freely from strategically-placed traps such as logs, boulders, and so on. The primary antagonist of the arc, [[Embarrassing First Name|Pantyhose]] [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|Taro]] uses Akane as bait to lure Ranma and the others to this mountain. Once there, not only do they have to battle their enemy, but also stay dry as much as possible—for Ranma's Jusenkyo-cursed team, a random splash would turn them into [[Baleful Polymorph|weaker, or helpless, forms]], but it would turn Taro himself into [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|a gigantic, massively powerful minotaur chimera]].

== Real Life ==

* In Ernst von Salomon's FRAGEBOGEN, he relates an incident from his service in Oberschlesien with a student freikorps, full of characters who thought they were still back in Heidelberg or wherever. One of these introduced himself as a "stud.math". "Yes, you look like one." A moment later, another university type comes to announce that his friend was greatly insulted, and would the Herr name his weapon? So Ernst, an artillerist who did not know one end of a sword from the other, chose [[No Kill Like Overkill|heavy mortar]]. Amid consternation, a special court of honor convened, and ruled that all Affairs must be postponed for the duration. Of course, afterward, they could not get hold of two heavy mortars.
