Line 24:
* In ''[[The Dark Knight]]'', Harvey Dent manages to take control of dramatic events at a trial and turn them to his advantage, effectively exploiting [[Courtroom Antics]]. An accused gangster tries to shoot him in the middle of the trial - Dent promptly punches and disarms him, stunning the entire court. When the judge calls for a recess, Dent hams it up: "Your honor, I'm not finished!".
* When Tom is [[Everyone Chasing You|chased by half the student body]] in ''[[PCU]]'', he hides from them, and then realizes The Pit needs lots of people at their party, so they can raise money. He then gets the people to chase him to the party.

* In ''The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System'', when he and his disciples were kidnapped by a villain-of-the-week-esque demon, the transmigrated Shen Qingqiu has no qualms into exploiting the [[Plot Armor]] surrounding the original protagonist Luo Binghe by directing the demon to try and attack the poor boy.

* ''[[Vega Strike]]'' explored and exploited genre conventions for [[Some Kind of Force Field]]. Since [[Deflector Shields]] are mostly transparent, lasers are the least hindered by shields of all weapon types in VS 'verse. And if shields flash when hit, one of implications is... PESC (Photon Emission on Shield Collapse) warhead. A single shield emitter mounted on an autocannon shell or rocket is charged when shot and optimized to fail violently when it hits, converting much of its energy into a strong laser pulse. Of course, there's nothing to focus it, but it goes off right on the target's shield.
