{{examples|Examples:}}▼
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Naruto]]'' uses this trope during the Sasuke Retrieval arc and in the third movie.
* ''[[
** In the Soul Society arc, Captain Zaraki Kenpachi fights against two other Captains so the rest of the party can continue on to save Rukia.
** Happens multiple times in episode 185.
Line 22 ⟶ 23:
* The final showdown in ''[[Outlaw Star]]'' is a great example of this.
* The end of the first ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' series did that so that Sailor Moon would be on her own when she finally encounters Beryl.
* Near the end of ''[[
* ''[[Saint Seiya]]'' abused this trope in every single arc. The Poseidon arc spiced things up by splitting everyone up to head in a different direction, instead of following them along a linear path, but the principle is the same.
* ''[[Soul Eater]]'' uses when the bad guys have a headstart to [[Sealed Evil in
** This plays out even though Stein's plan is ignored by Maka and Black*Star, and results in all Kid Heroes facing the evil 'can' together even though their efforts are dashed once [[Humanoid Abomination|its occupant]] [[It Got Worse|wakes up]].
* The first ''[[Ranma
* Almost required in any given fight of ''[[
* Several times in rapid succession in the Finale of ''[[Mai-Otome]]''.
* In the third ''[[Pokémon (
* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. Roy Mustang uses it when he finally comes face to face with Envy, {{spoiler|his best friend's killer.}} He wanted to have the [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] all to himself but Ed and {{spoiler|Scar}} come back for him before he can lose himself in his anger.
* Possible variation in ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'': during the final battle, the titular mecha is being fried by the Grand Zamboa's [[Wave Motion Gun|Infinity Big Bang Storm]]. The heroes open up a can of [[Heroic Resolve]]... then Lordgenome steps up and says "Simon, [[Genre Savvy|leave this one to me]]." He summons the Lazengann and [[Heroic Sacrifice|sucks the attack into himself]], converting it into enough spiral energy for the heroes to turn the tables on the Anti-Spiral.
Line 36 ⟶ 37:
* Played with in ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'': in the Kyoto arc, [[The Shinsengumi|Saito]] tells [[The Hero|Kenshin]] and [[The Lancer|Sano]] to go on ahead while he takes care of [[Super Senses|Usui]] of the Juppongatana. When Usui comments that Saito is being nice to Kenshin, Saito explains that he only did it to make sure [[Thou Shalt Not Kill|Kenshin]] was out of the room so that Saito could kill Usui.
* Happens multiple times in almost any given arc in ''[[One Piece]]''. Usually the protagonists square off against a group (be it another pirate crew, a group of Marines, or whoever), and it inevitably comes down to Luffy taking the leader and his crew taking care of the subordinates. This also happened constantly in Marineford, with everybody clearing a path for Luffy to get to Ace.
* Happens in ''[[D
* In ''[[Durarara!!]]'' Shizuo tells Celty to go on ahead while he deals with Seiji, and cheerfully points it out with an "I always wanted to say that!"
* In ''[[Mazinkaiser]]'', Tetsuya does this to allow Kouji to go fight Dr. Hell in the end.
* ''[[

** It later happens again: Anna and Siobhan are forced to stay behind and battle Franz himself, while Haleigh goes on to fight Josh.
Line 61 ⟶ 62:
* ''[[The Phantom Menace]]:''This trope is how Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi react to Darth Maul during the liberation of Naboo.
* This happened in ''[[Rush Hour|Rush Hour 2]]'' Carter tells Lee to go after Ricky Tan while he fights [[Dragon Lady|Hu Li]].
* Also, in ''[[Alien

** Five; {{spoiler|Colette's been kidnapped at the time.}}
* Bill says this in ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'''s online comic "The Sacrifice" before jumping into a horde with 3 tanks. {{spoiler|He doesn't make it back, but it's called The Sacrifice, you should know this already.}}
** In the game, if you choose to sacrifice Zoey, most of her lines are something like this, "I got this, guys! No big deal! ... Shit, shit!"
