{{trope}}
[[File:
A [[Sub-Trope]] of [[Multi Mook Melee]]. What separates it is its [[Perfectly Cromulent Word|radialness]]. A character will be in the center of a ring of [[Mook
{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* Occurs once in a while in ''[[Bleach]]'' when a larger number of hollow (or in one [[Filler Arc]], [[Ninja]]) turn up.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emYqURahUKI Fantastic example] in ''[[
* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', Asuna and Setsuna's battle against the demons in Kyoto played out like this. Once they began to realize that either girl could [[One-Hit Kill|cut them down with a single stroke]], they kept their distance and attacked more strategically in this fashion.
* In early ''[[Ranma
* Seen in ''[[Seto no Hanayome]]'' by Nagasumi after he gets to be affected by Sun's singing during an episode.
Line 18 ⟶ 17:
* The [[Bruce Lee]] film ''Fist Of Fury'' has an early example.
* This happens in ''[[Kill Bill]]'' (Volume 1) in the Crazy 88 fight scene.
* ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'': {{spoiler|the Balrog chases them off before the fight actually happens}} but in the Mines of Moria, the Fellowship finds itself completely surrounded by a really absurd number of goblins.
** The tactical... originality of this manouver in [[Real Life]] is lampshaded in ''[[DM of the Rings]]''.
* The Multi Mook fights in ''[[The Matrix]]'' pretty much define this trope.
** The fight against all the Smiths in the second film. I believe this form of [[Mook Chivalry]] was once discussed as "your opponents will attack you one at a time while the others dance threateningly in a circle around you".
* [[Summer Glau|River]] in ''[[
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
== Video Games ==
* In the Battle of 1000 Heartless in ''[[
* Meta Knight and Marth combine this with [[Back-to-Back Badasses]] in [[Super Smash Bros.|the Subspace Emissary]]
== Western Animation ==
* In ''[[Bionicle]] 3: Web of Shadows'', the Toa Hordika are surrounded by a horde of [[Giant Spider|Visorak]] this way in the Coliseum arena. {{spoiler|The fight goes on and on with the [[Conservation of Ninjitsu]] in place, until they're finally overwhelmed by the spiders and surrender.}}
* ''[[Megas XLR]]'' engages in this frequently, with [[Idiot Hero|Coop]] in the middle and a ''lot'' of Aliens, Robots or Alien Robots surrounding him in nearly every battle that isn't a [[Duel Boss]]. Coop typically then [[Crazy Awesome|would casually rip the arms or legs off the nearest]] [[Mook]], [[Up to Eleven|(Or just pick up said Mook,)]] before laying down some serious [[Grievous Harm
** When this happened in the pilot (1000 Glorft robots), Kiva's robot was standing next to Megas. Kiva said the odds weren't good, Coop agreed and ''trashed her robot'' to even the odds.
* During the big fight scene at the climax of ''[[Robots]]'', Cappy and Piper become encircled by [[Mooks]]. They do a literal version of this trope: Cappy swings Piper around in a circle, smashing every mook that has the misfortune to come in contact with her feet.
