* The above picture is from the fifth season of ''[[Ranma ½]]''.
** Mousse also does this with knives to a patron flirting with Shampoo in another episode of the anime.

* Part of Catherine's and Trowa's circus act in ''[[Gundam Wing]]'' involves this (Trowa is pinned, Catherine throws the knives). In this case it's used to show just how fearless Trowa is, as when Catherine accidentally throws a knife close enough to draw blood, he doesn't flinch in the slightest.

* DC Comics [[Green Arrow]] & Speedy have been known to catch crooks with arrow outlines.
* One [[Charles Addams]] comic (the man who went on to create ''[[The Addams Family]]'') involved a nice couple in a hotel room, noticing (with understandable concern) the tips of knives protruding through their wall in a human shape.
