** Too slow...my dinner is getting cold...http://www.onemanga.com/Historys_Strongest_Disciple_Kenichi/104/16-17/
** Siegfried is literally ''made'' of this trope. In his [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|most prominent example]], he flies a small plane to a heavily defended island, ''jumps from the plane'' to get to the arena, ''dodges missiles'' on the way down, [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomps]] his opponent, ''composes music on his body'', and then passes out from ''forty three days of sleep deprivation''. The best part? ''HE WAS SINGING THE WHOLE DAMN TIME.''
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', Sousuke tends to have awesome entrances like these to save the day. In fact, the amount of times he does this to his [[Arch Enemy]] Gauron are so numerous, Gauron eventually [[Lampshades]] it mockingly. In the finale of the first season, Gauron tackles Sousuke (while in their [[Humongous Mecha|AS]]), and holds him down while he [[Taking You with Me|tries to self destruct]], teasingly telling Sousuke: "Well well, how do you like this? It's such a disgrace like this, isn't it? You can't act like a big damn hero and save the day in a cool way." Guess what: {{spoiler|He does it anyways}}.
** In ''The Second Raid'', Sosuke does this when {{spoiler|it appears that Gates is going to wipe out his combat commander, and is even [[Lampshaded]] by Kurz.}}
** Hell, both the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PedevC9WdTU first series] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP9YozNBOkM TSR] opens with this. And of course the memorable moment where Gauron is about to shoot Sousuke point-blank when he gets scared off by Kurz descending on a parachute, firing a sniper rifle.

* ''[[Life (manga)|Life]]'' is a rather realistic, though exagerrated, [[Slice of Life]] series. However the scene where Ayumu and Hatori get saved from being gang-raped and left for dead in an abandoned series really seems unusual. It's full of buildings catching on fire, dramatic [[Clean Pretty Reliable]], and overall may just be the most dramatic scene in the manga.
* [[Badass Biker]] [[Biker Babe|Babe]] Houquet's [[Establishing Character Moment|introductory scene]] in ''[[Genesis Climber Mospeada]]'' is this when she appears as a mysterious fighter [[Law of Chromatic Superiority|clad in red armor]] saving Mint and Ray.

** In Part 3, Mohammad Abdul was killed off fairly early in the story. Thanks to fan demand, he was revived, in time for a surprise (and explained as an ace in the hole) [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment.
** The series in general is full of this trope. Usually with the trademark heroic (and fashionable) posing.
