My Defense Need Not Protect Me Forever: Difference between revisions

* In [[Naruto]], during an anime filler, Yamato dodges every attack from a Earth element user, because he was waiting for his preparations to complete for using an Earth technique.

* In ''[[Code Geass]] R2'', the Black Knights fight a defensive battle against the [[Eunuchs Are Evil|corrupt eunuchs]] who rule the Chinese Federation. They get trapped in a mountain cave and hold out until Lelouch's [[Engineered Public Confession]] causes the oppressed masses to rise up, turning the tide of the battle.

* [[Rurouni Kenshin]] has defeated a few opponents this way, and buying time for a counterattack was how Aoshi's [[Elite Mook|Elite Mooks]] made a [[Heroic Sacrifice]].

* In ''[[Dragonball Z]]'', Goku has tried everything else to no effect against [[Big Bad|Frieza]], and has to resort to his trump card, the Spirit Bomb. The problem is, it'll take him several minutes to create a big enough Spirit Bomb, and [[Awesome but Impractical|he has to stand motionless and let Frieza pummel him while doing it]]. This means the much weaker Piccolo is forced to step in and fight a losing battle to keep Frieza distracted long enough. {{spoiler|[[Subverted]], as the Spirit Bomb doesn't work.}}
