Line 69:
** Then in ''[[Dragonball Z]]'', the androids C17 and C18 are attacked by a group of gangsters. Those are [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|thrown into the sky]].
** Finally, in an anime-exclusive filler, Majin Buu, now a nice guy, is shot during a hold-up in a jewelry. Being [[The Blob]], he absorbs the bullet, spits it out, then playfully ''throws it back'' with enough strength to put a crater in the wall behind the crooks. Said crooks promptly gave up and surrender to the police. Gohan and Videl show up and strike a pose reminiscent of the Ginyu Force only to be completely confused about why the bad guys are surrendering before they beat anybody up.
** Majin Buu himself does this in ''[[Dragon Ball Super]]'', refusing to give up the pudding that Beerus wants, then insulting him, and then licking it before handing it over. Beerus is someone that ''everyone'' - even Vegeta - knows you should never piss off, and that the best way to deal with him if he shows up is to give him whatever he wants, as Beerus is known to demolish whole planets when he gets angry and [[Ret-Gone|erase people who annoy him]] from existence. In fact, it was pretty much Buu's fault that the Z-fighters had to fight Beerus at all.
* In ''[[Darker than Black]]'', one unruly client wants to leave a restaurant without paying and beats those who try to stop him. Including the waiter, a guy who was nicknamed "the Black [[Shinigami|Reaper]]" ''[[Badass Normal|before]]'' [[Badass Abnormal|he got super powers]]. And the place was owned by [[Yakuza]] to boot. The only reason he didn't get [[Shock and Awe|zapped senseless]] or [[Knife Nut|stabbed]] within seconds of his first punch was that Hei was [[Cover-Blowing Superpower|undercover]].
** Also none-too-bright: Goons are meeting November 11 to arrange a deal. He brings a bunch of money as a down payment. They break off negotiations halfway through, and he goes to pick up the money and leave... at which point a thug slams his hand down on the briefcase and blows smoke in November's face. [[An Ice Person|Whoops.]] He gets his arm frozen off. The second guy gets stabbed through the eye with the contents of a cup of coffee. Their boss tries to get away, but [[Making a Splash|April]] causes a rainstorm and November froze his feet to the ground. November 11 gets his information, and said boss ends into a [[Literally Shattered Lives|much more fatal than usual]] [[Human Popsicle]]. See, that's why you should ''cooperate'' with the nice [[Lack of Empathy|sociopaths]].
