Negated Moment of Awesome: Difference between revisions

* 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.}}

* ''[[Ranma ½]]'': 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.
