Line 20:
* [[Mysterious Girlfriend X]]: Best option to use against panty scissors, unless you have your own special attack.
* In ''[[Bleach]]'' Ichigo enters some last minute training with Zangetsu before his final battle with Aizen. Zangetsu explains that he won't simply tell Ichigo the ultimate technique of his power and proceeds to fight him. After a bit of swordplay that doesn't seem to go anywhere, Ichigo figures out he won't learn the secret by pure force but rather by letting Zangetsu stab him. This is exactly what the spirit wanted and gives Ichigo his power for the final confrontation.
* ''[[One Piece]]''; In the Baratie Arc, the armored pirate "Foul Play" Don Krieg (who's as rotten as his title implies) barges onto Zeff's restaurant-ship demanding food for his crew of fifty men. Several of the staff try to drive him off, but are curb-stomped quickly. Eventually, Zeff himself decides to do the smart thing, and simply give him what he wants, bringing out the food and telling him sternly to take it and go. Unfortunately, this makes it worse, as Don Krieg recognizes Zeff as the former captain of the Cook Pirates, and now wants to stay around for a different reason.

Line 100 ⟶ 101:
* In ''[[Mortal Kombat 9]]'', this is how {{spoiler|Raiden defeats Shao Kahn. By letting Kahn merge Earth and Outworld without winning Mortal Kombat, Raiden is able to ''finally'' spur the Elder Gods into action, and use their power to destroy Kahn.}} "He must win!"
* The XBLA indie shooter ''Shoot 1UP'' features shields that form and expand around your ships when you refrain from shooting. Firing while an enemy is inside a shield unleashes a "shield attack," which earns you much higher bonuses than shooting around blindly. It's essential in order to rack up huge scores.
* When the Warden encounters Ser Cauthrien in ''[[Dragon Age: Origins]]'', she orders them to surrender before she and her men attack. The player can refuse, of course (fighting her is difficult but not impossible) but actually surrendering leads to a scenario (or rather, a choice of two scenarios) that is ''much'' more fun.
** Also applies the ''second'' time the player meets Cauthrien. She doesn't give you a surrender option this time, but it's possible to convince her to stand aside and let you pass if your Persuasion skill is high enough.
Line 116 ⟶ 117:
* When facing an [[Evil Twin]] made up purely of his aggression and negative emotions, [[Samurai Jack]] realized he could only win by not fighting and returning to true peace inside himself.
* ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'': The normally [[Attack! Attack! Attack!|unrestrained]] OMAC eventually manages to defeat the supervillain Shrapnel by using a force field to protect against Shrapnel's blows while refusing to counterattack—which meant that Shrapnel had no source of power to replenish himself with.
* ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'':
*
** In another episode, [[Lex Luthor]] is able to convince Amazo to retreat [[Talking the Monster to Death|by convincing him he is wasting his - admittedly incredible - potential on petty revenge]]. Yeah, Lex should talk there, but it works.
* In the ''[[Adventure Time]]'' episode "Tree Trunks", Finn, Jake and Tree Trunks find the Crystal Gem Apple but are confronted by a Crystal Guardian, who copies everything they do - and since it's a great deal harder than either Finn or Jake, they only manage to hurt themselves when they try to attack it. Tree Trunks, in the meantime, starts playing with some mildly disturbing skull-faced butterflies, and when the Crystal Guardian starts copying her as well, Finn and Jake realize that the Crystal Guardian will ''only'' attack them if they attack first.
* ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'':
