** One particularly famous example came from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|Yu-Gi-Oh 5 Ds]]'', where Yusei was facing off against 3 goons who had an amazingly simple and solid effect-damage strategy going against him, dishing out a lot of damage on each of their first turns. On his second turn, however, he proceeds to unleash a combo that allows his Nitro Warrior monster to execute ''three'' One Hit Kills in rapid succession. The goons' boss even refers to it (in blatant [[Engrish]]) as "One Turn Three Kill."
* Yuki Nagato in ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' - "Commence termination of data link". Pwned. This is also the reason why she won against {{spoiler|Asakura}}, who was busy jumping around, throwing metal spears, while Yuki hacked the time-space program ([[Techno Babble|Whatever that is.]])
* Ranma's encounters with Herb and Saffron in ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma ½]]'' ended this way, as he turned their own power against them in devastating variations of the [[Hoist by His Own Petard|Hiryu Shoten Ha]]. More notable in the case of Herb, who was knocked out instantly from this ''one attack'' (he had been punched in the face earlier, but it hardly even hurt his skin.) In Saffron's case, the technique froze him solid and [[Good Thing You Can Heal|shattered him]].
** Ryouga and Ranma both believed that the ''Bakusai Tenketsu'' ("Exploding Point-hole," or "Breaking Point" in the [[Woolseyism|English version]]) is one of these, since it consists of making rock, soil, and (non-living) wood burst into pieces with the touch of a finger. However, after [[Trickster Mentor|having her fun]] watching the two teens struggle, Cologne revealed that it doesn't work on living things.
* This is why Tohno Shiki from ''[[Tsukihime]]'' is described as "the greatest wild card" (not the [[Wild Card|trope]]): since his [[Evil Eye|Mystic Eyes]] perceive the concept of Death as lines and dots over ''everything'', all he needs is one chance to [[Deader Than Dead|kill]] his opponent. Given his natural [[Super-Powered Evil Side|killing abilities]] and [[In the Blood|inborn assassins' skills]], all of his fights begin/end with this. In some scenarios, he has been able to kill hallways, a vampire infection (before it takes over his body), and the poison inside someone else's body; although this requires it to be [[Cast From Hit Points]].
