** Ichigo launches a Getsuga Tensho against Yammy, which appears to be quite effective at the end of the chapter, but at the start of the next chapter, Yammy gets up, revealing that it had almost no effect on him, and gains the advantage over Ichigo before Kenpachi and Byakuya arrive to fight him.

** [[Beware the Nice Ones|Captain Unohana Retsu]] gets one of these in the current [[Filler]] arc. {{spoiler|She's cornered by the [[Filler Villain|Inaba]] and the [[Evil Twin|Reigais]] of both herself and her vice captain. She holds her own briefly using some high level kidos without incantation and then promptly leaves presumably because the battle was [[Unwinnable By Design|unwinnable]] depriving fans of the chance to see some of her fighting [[Informed Ability|badassery]]}}.

* Asuka's battle with the mass-produced Evas in ''[[End of Evangelion]]''. To be specific: The would-be [[The Ace|ace pilot]] who has [[Heroic BSOD|become a helpless mess]] from her continual losses and having her [[Mind Rape|worst fears and memories thrown into her face]], Asuka, is confronted by nine enemies individually stronger than her own [[Giant Mecha]], armed only with a single knife and less than two minutes battery power. She then proceeds to destroy them one by one, wreaking carnage in her wake in the way she had promised for so long [[Informed Ability|she could]]. As the last of her battery power drains she is tearing the final one apart, her victory complete, only to whip around her AT Field to meet a thrown blade. It turns into a weapon that can pierce the field, impaling her [[Eye Scream|through the eyes]] just before the power cuts. Then the ones whom she defeated [[Slasher Smile|smile]] and [[Diabolus Ex Machina|get back up]]. What follows [[No Holds Barred Beatdown|is best]] [[Extreme Melee Revenge|not]] [[Gorn|described]].

* In ''[[Naruto]]'', {{spoiler|[[The Smurfette Principle|Konan]]}}'s fight with {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Madara]]}} ultimately turns out to be this. {{spoiler|Konan detonates enough paper bombs for the explosions to carry on for ten minutes... only for Madara to [[No Sell]] it by using his [[Diabolus Ex Machina|never-before-mentioned]] [[Reality Warper]] powers (said powers had been brought up earlier, but were only attainable with both Uchiha and Senju DNA, and it is only revealed afterward that Madara had acquired the Senju's power). Doing so cost him an eye, but he simply replaces it with a [[Combo Platter Powers|Rinnegan]], rendering Konan's efforts completely useless and making Madara stronger than before.}}

* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha Force]]'' example. Woah, looks like Hayate's about to cast a pretty awesome spell! Why, it's a powerful enough spell than it has the all-powerful [[Generic Doomsday Villain|Huckebein]] worried... {{spoiler|And of course, [[Villain Sue]] Cullen pops out of freaking nowhere and stabs Hayate in the back before defeating Vita and Erio [[Curb Stomp Battle|without even paying attention]]. Despite the fact that Vita and Erio were armed with weapons that would bypass the Huckebeins' [[Anti-Magic]] abilities.}}

* ''[[Ranma One Half]]'': The Moko Takabisha. Ranma has finally stopped abusing himself to try to beat Ryoga's Shi Shi Hokodan. He's actually eerily confident... then he casts his counter-attack - a variant of the Shi Shi Hokodan based on confidence. Ryoga replies with an even stronger Shi Shi Hokodan. Time for a massive [[Beam-O-War]], right? Wrong. ''Pop.'' [[Angst Nuke|Perfected Shi Shi Hokodan]] [[Curb Stompb Battle]] ensues. And the way Ranma does win is arguably rather anticlimatic, too.
