* In ''[[Project A-ko]]'' there was the "My Cheek... It's cut!" moment.
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]] ? Fumoffu'''s second [[Fan Service]] episode, Kurz Weber takes a small laser burn to his backside, and convinces Shinji Kazama to go on without him as if he were dying.
* In ''[[Kanokon]]'' this happens when an attack causes a slight rip in a villains jacket. "YOU WILL COMPENSATE WITH YOUR LIVES!"
* Frequently happened with the villains in ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' (mainly in Z and GT), and was most often prompted by outrage that Goku or whoever was fighting them actually managed to not only hit them, but do some damage (in Frieza's case it made sense, as by the current scale he was so stupidly powerful that he hadn't had a decent fight in decades. When a 20-x-Kaioken Kamehameha actually burns his hand, he flips out.). Vegeta tried to ''destroy the Earth'' because Goku made him bleed a little.

* The primary tactic involved in fighting ''[[Punch
* 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).
Line 117:
* 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.
{{quote|'''Kuja:''' You even managed to hurt me!... a little.}}
** Vamp had a similar reaction to Kuja in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'' when Raiden managed to have one shot graze him on the cheek with his SOCOM.
* In ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' Kefka gets lightly stabbed. He spends half a minute running around the screen, screaming: "I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate HATE YOU!" in one translation, and an extremely long list of insults in the other translation. {{spoiler|Shortly afterward, he destroys the world. Though this probably had more to do with his general [[Ax Crazy|insanity]] than anger at that particular wound.}}
* ''[[Suikoden IV]]''. [[Dirty Coward|"Ow, my arm!"]]
