Line 18:
* Parodied in ''[[Yotsubato|Yotsuba&!]]'' (seen above) when the title character, after watching one too many Japanese gangster movies, decides to take out her neighbors on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] with a water pistol: she kicks open Ena's bedroom door, stops to crouch down, does an awkward somersault, and comes up gun squirting.

* Subverted in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S]]'': During a training session, Teana tries to avoid Nanoha's shots by making some rolls on the ground, and Nanoha criticizes her action ("Now, if you move like that, it's all over") and the point of the lesson is to teach her how to [[Shoot the Bullet]] instead as a way of defending without having to move.
* ''[[K-On!|Ritsu]]'''s [[Dynamic Entry]] into Yui's room in ''[[K-On!]]'' involves a half-assed combat roll (shown in three different angles, to boot). She gets punched in the head for her troubles.
* In the ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' movie, America pulls one off in the only action scene in the series.
* In [[My-HiME]], [[Ninja|Akira]] does a roll when bursting into her and Takumi's room after hearing a [[Not What It Looks Like|suspicious sounding conversation between Takumi and Mai]].
