Line 26:
** Subverted with Nnoitra. Nnoitra constantly boasts that he cannot be harmed and demonstrates by letting opponents hit him to no avail. When Kenpachi finally manages to cut him, he's shocked, then orders Kenpachi not to get cocky and keeps fighting normally.
** Played straight with [[The Fighting Narcissist|Charlotte]]. When a large lock of his hair is sliced off he goes [[Berserk Button|berserk]].
* In the ''[[Record of Lodoss War]]'' [[OVA]], Ashram -- whoAshram—who has gone through an entire battle untouched due to his skills -- getsskills—gets very angry when Parn manages to scratch his cheek with his sword.
* In the ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' episode "Pierrot Le Fou", Tongpu is an [[Psychopathic Manchild|insane super soldier]] who's [[Immune to Bullets]]. When someone manages to injure him for what's probably the first time since he snapped, he's so shocked from experiencing pain that he breaks down crying. Because he has the mind of a child, he reacts like a child would.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''!'s Yugi had an extreme case of this. It didn't even have to be a corporeal wound; several times, when his opponents would take a chunk out of his Life Points, he'd act like he was having a heart attack.
Line 33:
** And other times the common hologram is so realistic that it ''can'' cause heart attacks(see Yugi's grandfather, who was hospitalized after losing a duel).
{{quote|[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|"For some reason playing a card game has caused me to become severely injured."]]}}
* ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'' has two notable characters like this -- thethis—the fat man, Mr. Heart, is almost invulnerable to most attacks, but the mere slight of his own blood changes him from genial and polite into a bloodthirsty psychopath. Juda, a Red Haired Pretty Boy, similarly goes berserk when his face gets some minor cuts.
* Schoen of ''[[Weiss Kreuz]]'' is an incredibly vain former model. She takes Ken trying to kill her in stride, right up until he scratches her cheek. She spends the rest of the series trying to kill him for it - though, since she was trying to do that anyway, Ken doesn't really notice the difference.
* While Vita of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' is naturally aggressive, she gets ''especially'' pissed off when one of Nanoha's attacks damages and knocks off her [[Nice Hat]]. Cue Nanoha's "uh oh". It has sentimental value.
