Kneel Before Zod: Difference between revisions

 

== Anime & Manga ==

* ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]''

** The Digimon Kaiser threatens to kill Daisuke's friends unless he bows down and begs for their lives. Daisuke actually complies. And then he gives Daisuke a sadistic choice (choose one friend to be spared), leading the poor kid to attempt a heroic sacrifice/take the third option.

* ''[[Doctor Who]]''

** [[The Master]], having sadly forgotten everything he'd read on the [[Evil Overlord List]], demanded this of Martha. Which she did, [[The Plan|but then began to laugh because her capture was part of an elaborate plan]]. Notable for being a rare occasion when the hero ordered to kneel just sucks it up and ''does'' it rather than go through a lot of gritted "Never!" posturing first.

{{quote|'''Fenric:''' The choice is yours, Time Lord. I shall kill you anyway, but if you would like the girl to live... kneel before me.

'''Ace:''' I believe in you, Professor.

* ''[[Guild Wars]] Factions'' has shiro doing this to some spirits he has captured.

* In the fight against {{spoiler|Odin}} in ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'', you can avoid instant death from his ultimate attack by using one of two commands that cause your character to kneel. There's still a chance that you will die from the damage done, but you at least reduce the chance.

** "''Sit'', {{spoiler|would you kindly.}}"

** In the ''Bioshock II'' opening, Sofia Lamb casually tells Subject Delta to "Kneel, please." Unfortunately for Delta, the [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]] Lamb has already put him under [[Compelling Voice|Hypnosis]]. [[Moral Event Horizon|After he kneels, she hands him a pistol]] [[Psychic-Assisted Suicide|and commands him to put it against his head]]. '''"Fire."'''
