* Jotaro Kujo from ''[[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Jojo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' plays dead in order to draw his opponent, Dio Brando, within attacking range. As Jotaro currently has a bunch of knives in his body, he can't afford to take any more hits from Dio, so he waits until Dio is practically inches from him and then uses [[Guardian Entity|Star Platinum]] to deliver a skull-shattering punch.
* {{spoiler|[[Dual-Wielding|Deed]]}} attempts this during the finale of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] StrikerS'' so she can perform one last sneak attack on {{spoiler|[[The Gunslinger|Teana]]}} ({{spoiler|it fails thanks to [[Improbable Aiming Skills|Vice]]}}), though since she was struck by [[Stun Guns|stun rounds]], it's more accurate to say that she was playing unconscious instead of playing dead.
* Hei from ''[[Darker Than Black]]'' does this in the second episode, at which point we and some hapless goons learn both that his [[Badass Longcoat]] is bulletproof and that [[Combat Pragmatist|he doesn't really go in for that whole "fighting fair" thing]].
