* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''
** This is done for laughs during two fights. The first we see a clone of Kaede get hit by an attack, followed by four Ninja clones of her appearing around her enemy commenting on how much that would have hurt. Later on, Kotaro and Negi do the same thing against a different opponent.
** Also played for laughs with Asuna vs. Ayaka, Makie, and the twins in issue 176; Asuna unthinkingly dodges or blocks all the attacks thrown at her, at one point actually thinking "Huh? She's slow." Yeah, a couple of months of [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] will do that.
* ''[[Naruto]]''
** The entire Hyuuga fighting style is based on Type 1. Shown by the Neji vs. Naruto fight best.
Line 115:
** As a general rule, Promoted classes all have more nonchalant dodges than their unPromoted counterparts, partly to show how much better they're getting at fighting.
** ''Path of Radiance'' has a particularly baffling example: a mounted unit moving ''backwards'' to dodge an arrow ''heading straight towards them.''
* Rachel Alucard of ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'' is a classic Type 3. She nonchalantly blocks anything, even attacks that actually damage her with poor [[Butt Monkey|Nago]]. Even her defeated animation is simply lying down, bored. The only exception to this is if she triggers [[Precursor Heroes|Hakumen's]] [[Counter Attack|Astral]] [[One-Hit Kill|Heat]], which result in a wonderful [[Oh Crap]] moment for her...and her player.
* A very silly bit of a cutscene near the beginning of ''[[Mass Effect]]'' shows Matriarch Benezia leaning slightly to one side with a bored look on her face as [[Complete Monster|Saren]] throws his infamous furniture-flinging tantrum.
* The title character of ''[[Bayonetta]]'' does all three variations throughout the game. In just about any given cutscene, you are guaranteed at least one type 1 or 2.
