But wait! The hero's just fine! In fact, that just gave him more confidence. Grinning, he says something like "Now it's my turn!" and proceeds to unleash an even more powerful attack and save the day.

== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[
* Ash Ketchum from ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' used the phrase a lot. (Being based on a [[Medium Awareness|turn-based game]] and all...)
▲* [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha]] said this during her last battle with Fate after [[The Worf Barrage|she survived Fate's]] [[Macross Missile Massacre|Photon Lancer Phalanx Shift]] then responded with [[Wave Motion Gun|Divine Buster]]. {{spoiler|Then she immediately followed ''that'' up with a bind and the even bigger [[Wave Motion Gun|Starlight Breaker]]. [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|Yeah, Nanoha doesn't play very fair]].}} She loves to do this in general, letting the enemy hit her with their best attack, then [[Defeat Means Friendship|befriending the fail outta them]] with a blast that'd make the [[Wave Motion Gun]] envious.

▲* ''[[Black Cat (Manga)|Black Cat]]'''s Train used this (in the first volume of the manga, IIRC) against a villain, after ''deflecting the villain's bullets with his custom-made gun'', along with one of the [[Slasher Smile|freakiest insane faces]] This Troper has ever seen.
* Alucard from ''[[Hellsing]]'' does this all the time, letting enemies apparently kill him before [[Healing Factor|regenerating]]. Cue beatdown.
* This is basically what happens when [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Unit 01]] goes berserk.

== Fan Works ==
* It's used romantically in ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5971289/1/The_Fine_Art_of_Wenching
* At the climax of ''[[
▲* It's used romantically in [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5971289/1/The_Fine_Art_of_Wenching this] fanfic of the live-action Disney version of ''[[The Three Musketeers 1993 (Film)|The Three Musketeers 1993]]''. Beware: slash and historical inaccurateness.
▲* At the climax of ''[[With Strings Attached (Fanfic)|With Strings Attached]]'', Paul is hit with a massive inferno attack that disintegrates a table he's holding. And he says: [[Oh Crap|“Do that again! That felt lovely!”]] Though he doesn't unleash a retaliatory attack on anyone, since he's an [[Actual Pacifist]].
== Comic Books ==
* ''[[V for Vendetta]]''. Not nearly as blatant as the movie version, nor does he say "Now it's my turn". He does, however, give a monologue after being shot.
* ''[[Iron Man]]''{{context}}
* Deadshot's <s> short-lived ongoing</s>{{when}} mini-series:
{{quote|
''BLAM'' ([[Mook]] shoots and misses)
'''Deadshot:''' "That didn't count." }}
* Actually said by [[Wolverine]] at the ending of [http://dailypop.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/uncanny-x-men-132-pic1-wolverine.jpg ''Uncanny X-Men'' #132]. That line and the issue that follows are widely considered a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for Logan.
** Kitty Pryde gets an homage to this - same panel, same line - during [[Joss Whedon]]'s run on ''Astonishing
* Marv gets several of these in ''[[Sin City]]'' due to being [[Made of Iron]]. Dwight also got one after being shot in the face in ''A Dame To Kill For'' and again in ''Big Fat Kill'' when he is blown into a tar pit.
== Film ==
* River in ''[[
▲* A wordless variant occurs in ''[[Goldfinger (Film)|Goldfinger]]'', courtesy of Oddjob.
▲* River in ''[[Serenity (Film)|Serenity]]'' says just that before {{spoiler|charging on an army worth of Reavers and ''killing them all''}}. Of course, she didn't take a huge attack or something, only {{spoiler|all her [[True Companions]] are incapacitated at that point}}.
** To elaborate, {{spoiler|Simon's medical kit is on the other side, and Kaylee is dead without it; nobody has any ammo or really any weapons. River says [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|"No. You take care of me, Simon.]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|You've always taken care of me.]] ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|My turn."]]'', runs across the room in slow motion, UNARMED, and jumps into a room teeming with Reavers as the blast door closes behind her (she tosses the medkit through right before the doors close). A while later, we see a blood-soaked River [[Atop a Mountain of Corpses]], with two Reaver axes. [[So Cool Its Awesome|THIS IS WHY PEOPLE LOVE THIS SHOW]].}}
* The movie version of ''[[Iron Man (

** This type of thing shows up in Bond films all the time. In ''[[

* The final battle of the first ''[[Blade (
** This is the [[Inverted Trope|inverted]] version. Blade has just sliced the [[Big Bad]]'a arm off and then sliced his body in half. The villain regenerates within seconds and utters the quote before moving at lightning speed and unleashing a world of hurt on Blade.
* The Monkey King in ''[[The Forbidden Kingdom]]'' says this just seconds after his revival.
* In ''[[V for Vendetta]]'', V plays this straight {{spoiler|by absorbing a colossal amount of automatic gunfire}} in his final battle, with the aid of some heavy armour. He then kicks butt while the goons attempt to reload, {{spoiler|before struggling back to the Tube station with his mortal injuries}}.
* In the beginning of ''[[Van Helsing]]'', as the title character is struggling in his fight to bring down Mr. Hyde, he shoots Hyde through the gut with a grapple, and attempts to pull the monster off Notre Dame. Hyde regains his balance, grabs the wire, and yells "My turn!" {{spoiler|Then he dies from a serious case of [[Too Dumb to Live]].}}
* Hit
* Morgana le Fey in ''[
== Literature ==
* Parson Adams in Henry Fielding's ''Joseph Andrews'' makes this [[Older Than Radio]].
* Older still: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. They are to fight an unusual duel where Sir Gawain is to hit the Green Knight once anywhere he likes with an axe. Then the Green Knight will retaliate in a year's time. Gawain takes his free hit at the Green Knight and beheads him with one blow. And the Green Knight picks up his severed head and exits the hall with surprising dignity... {{spoiler|After thoroughly testing Gawain's chivalry, the magic Green Knight lets him off with the gentlest of grazes.}}
== Live Action TV ==
* Subverted in ''[[Dark Angel]]'' episode "Fuhgeddaboudit". After Max beats up Alec/X5-494 for a while, Alec/X5-494 says "My turn now, bitch." Max then distracts him, kicks him in the groin and takes him out. [http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0554574/quotes Read the full conversation.]
* Variation occurs in ''[[
* Used by Clark Kent in the ''[[Smallville]]'' episode "Combat", before unleashing a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|hellacious beating on the superpowered killer, Titan]].
* Used by Theokoles in the Starz television series ''[[Spartacus: Blood and Sand]]'' when Spartacus and Crixus are dueling a tag-team against Theokoles, the Shadow of Death (who is totally undefeated). They enter the ring with Crixus announcing "Capua! Shall we begin?" and the two work as a well-oiled machine, fighting as one, to bring the giant down. They turn to the crowd, who chant their names, and then silently fall back into their seats. A medium-wide shot shows the giant [[Oh Crap|getting back-up,]] and as they turn to watch him, announcing "Capua! Shall ''I'' Begin?".

* ''[[Punch Out]]'' examples:
▲* [[Final Fantasy IV|"Was it flame? I'll show you how!"]]
** In the original NES game, if Mac successfully evades Flying Tiger's "magic punches", Tiger becomes dizzy and winded for a few seconds, which is your cue to let him have if.
** During the Nick Bruiser fight in ''Super
** In the Wii version, during the Title Defense fight with Mr. Sandman, he poses with one arm down and groans "Dreamlannnnnnnnd" before his Big Apple Combo. If you try to punch him, he dodges, yells ''"My turn!"'' and delivers a ''very'' strong hook.
* This is Riku's specialty in the first [[Kingdom Hearts]] game when you challenge him during the prologue. If you land too many combo hits on him without thinking, he'll rebound with a spring attack and take off a nice bit of your HP in the process. He even says "my turn!" before countering.
* In ''[[Super Metroid]]'', the [[Final Battle]] with Mother Brain starts out as a [[Hopeless Boss Fight]] with the [[Nigh Invincible]] villain dealing horrible punishment to the heroine. Then the Super Metroid flies in [[Heroic Sacrifice| and sacrifices itself]] to steal Mother Brain's hyper beam and gives it to Samus. The tide turns quickly with [[Mama Bear| the enraged Samus blowing the hell out of Mother Brain.]]
== Web Original ==
* Used in ''[[Super Mario Bros Z]]'' when Axem Red blasts Mecha Sonic with a giant laser, doing no damage.
== Western Animation ==
* This occurs in an episode of ''[[Static Shock]]'' when [[The Joker]], [[Batman]] and Robin make an appearance. After the Joker is foiled and lying prone on the ground, he calls out for Batman to help, and shocks the hand offered him. Virgil kindly repays the favor with extreme prejudice, after saying, "That was fun! Now it's my turn."
** The actual line was, "That looks fun! Let me try..." Still the same effect, though.
* In the ''[[
* The Bloom/Icy battle at the end of the first season of ''[[Winx Club]]'' is basically a contest to see who can do this better.
