* The vain antagonist Vega from the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' series is so afraid of this happening to him that he wears a protective mask in the ring (the mask is shown shattered in his loss scenes). This becomes a plot point in ''Street Fighter The Animated Movie'' where the only thing that really saves Chun-Li is a good set of injuries to Vega's face that send him into a [[Berserk Button|berserker rage]] she can counter.

* Yaga-Shura the fire giant in ''[[Baldur's Gate]]: Throne of Bhaal'' will run away for even more [[Flunky Boss|reinforcements]] (there's already a [[The War Sequence|small army fighting you]]) the first point of damage he receives. This perfectly demonstrates his lack of [[Genre Blindness]] and his understanding of the threat the [[One-Man Army|player character]] poses, especially as the player succeeded has in removing his [[Nigh Invulnerability]] (of the instant regeneration kind).

* In the introductory video to ''[[Sid Meiers Pirates]] Live the Life'', the evil captain's slapping of the main character is what sets off mutiny. Of course, it's previously established that he's a complete bastard to his crew, so that was probably a Last Straw moment as much as anything else.

* Subverted with Kuja in ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]''. When {{spoiler|Queen Brahne}} summons Bahamut to blow him to atoms, Kuja simply steps protectively in front of his dragon and takes [[No One Could Survive That|the full blast]]. He is smirkingly uninjured, until a trickle of blood runs down his forehead, causing him to react in shock for a moment... then immediately sing the praises of the powerful summon monster.
