Line 41:
** Also done in the [[Tournament Arc]] during one of Evangeline's [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v12/c103/9.html matches].
* In the Ice Hunters arc of [[One Piece]], Luffy does this to one of the bounty hunters, Hockera. In a subversion, though, Luffy's not even fighting him-he's fighting two other bounty hunters while Hockera attacks Chopper, and Hockera gets nailed when Luffy snaps his arm backwards. Luffy's not even aware of what happened until Hockera whined at him for interfering in someone else's battle.
** Whitebeard himself recently got one against a [[Attack of the 50
** When Luffy fights Zoro on Whiskey Peak, they give each other full attention- despite Zoro previously having been about to engage Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentine. The latter two get pissed that they are being underestimated, and proceed to launch attacks at the "distracted" pair. Neither breaks eye contact nor moves more than a few inches fending them off.
** Inazuma should get a mention; when a wolf attacked from behind, Inazuma sent it flying with a reversed kick.
Line 177:
* The intro cinematic for ''[[World of Warcraft]]: The Burning Crusade'' features a variant on this, with a [[The Undead|Forsaken]] mage obliterating a trio of murlocs coming up on him from behind with a Blast Wave spell, and a more regular example with a draenei paladin and his [[Drop the Hammer|hammer]]. One watching might feel that "THAT HAS TO HURT!"
* In ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'', the weakest attack of [[Ryu and Ken|Ialdabaoth and Valefor]] starts out with this... only to continue with [[Spam Attack|spamming kick attacks]], finished with a Falcon Punch. Of course, they [[Flash Step]] behind the enemy beforehand, so it's less "I know you're behind me" and more "Hey, I'm right behind you".
* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]'', {{spoiler|Lloyd}} does this to the main character, Emil, just about every time they meet. Unusually for this trope, both are using swords.
* In ''Rainbow Six: Raven Shield'', terrorists can shoot you without turning around. It also doesn't help that they spawn right behind you.
* In ''[[Halo]] 2'', Jackal Snipers(instant death on Legendary) can shoot at you without directly aiming, as well as bounce their shots off of walls.
