Line 23:
** The squishy sound his feet make as he walks inspires terror in all but the stoutest and most glow-y Super Saiyan!
* Bio Booster Armor [[Guyver]] has this happen to Sho {{spoiler|after the battle with Enzyme II}}. A zoanoid throws a car containing an unconscious Sho into a light pole, who awakens in time to bioboost and walk out of the flames. {{spoiler|His Guyver automatically de-equips shortly afterward as a result of his psychological trauma over having [[Heroic BSOD|killed Enzyme II, who was really his father turned into a zoanoid.]]}}
* ''[[Jo
** All seven (so far) JoJos have [[Normally I Would Be Dead Now|survived injuries that should have killed them]] including losing hands, getting blown into near-space from a VOLCANO, getting stabbed in the lungs by wooden stakes, being shot in the back and left for dead, and having knives thrown at one of them by a time-stopping vampire that threw them in a way that seemed like they were all thrown at the same time. And yet there is no real equal to the moment leftmost in the picture above. {{spoiler|''He stopped time''}}. This actually justifies exchanging the iconic steamroller for an oil tanker.
* In ''[[Fist of the North Star (Manga)|Fist of the North Star]]'', Kenshiro is apparently able to remain completely unscathed, despite having fallen several foot into a pile of rubble, from a roof that he punched in because it had been set on fire, and then being hit repeatedly in the face with a huge stone collumn. This occurs mere seconds before he makes his shirt explode. Naturally.
Line 39:
** Of course he did. [[Incredibly Lame Pun|There's always ash left after a fire.]]
** Ash has another moment in the TV series, where he walked out of the burning Celadon Gym with Erika's Gloom in his arms.
** In the ''[[Pokémon Special]]'' manga, Magma Admin [[Spell My Name With an "S"|Courtney/Marge]] of the Three Fires does this after Ruby attempts to [[Hoist By His Own Petard|hoist her by her own petard]] by dropping her right into her out of control flames, only to calmly emerge from the inferno with some burns and [[Clothing Damage|charred clothing]] after Ruby completes his escape.
* [[Zoids Chaotic Century]] has Raven in his Zaber Fang striding out of the flaming ruin of a Republic base on Mt. Osa to battle Van during Prozen's invasion. This scene is shown in the opening theme of the anime.
* In the ''[[El Hazard the Magnificent World]]'' manga, there's two more Demon God androids than in the anime; the side characters come up with a plan for dealing with one that involves a concentrated attack to hit one of them (Jinnistacia) right before she fires her main attack; theoretically lowering shields to do so. The result was a tremendous explosion; [http://www.bladeandepsilon.com/ifujinpics.htm which she walks out of], all it did was destroy her [[Nice Hat]].
Line 78:
== Comic Books ==
* Varied in ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'', where the [[Implacable Man|Saint of Killers]] takes a direct hit from a nuclear bomb that, we are later told, killed 800 people in the surrounding area almost immediately. Some scenes with the other characters later, cut to the Saint ''inside'' the inferno with still-spotless clothes. "Not enough gun."
* Played straight in "The Tarnished Angel" storyline of [[Kurt Busiek]]'s ''[[Astro City]]''.
* From ''[[Kingdom Come]]'' there's the scene where in the aftermath of the detonation of a horrendously powerful nuclear weapon when the smoke clears Superman is shown to be alive and virtually unharmed. His fellow heroes aren't so fortunate.
Line 127:
* In ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'', after [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Catherine Weaver]] kills all of the personnel at the secret warehouse in the desert, she blows it up while [[Unflinching Walk|calmly walking away]], and the fires engulf her body. Naturally, she walks out of the fireball without any damage.
* One Kull Warrior did this in ''[[Stargate SG 1]]''. Since they are [[Nigh Invulnerability|Nigh Invulnerable]], it didn't bother that one too much.
* Turns up in, of all places, ''[[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon]]'', when {{spoiler|Usagi/Sailor Moon}} is knocked into an explosion, and emerges from the resulting wall of fire as {{spoiler|Princess Serenity}}. Since she's both a [[Person of Mass Destruction]] and a [[Super
* Due to being [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]], the [[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (TV)|Gokaigers]] frequently invoke [[Transformation Is a Free Action]] to protect themselves from incoming attack, leading to this. However, the most epic version is when Gokai Gallon falls under heavy fire and is engulfed in a massive explosion. Cue a completely transformed [[Humongous Mecha|Gokai-Oh]] charging straight out of the flames and ready to kick some tail.
* In the ''[[Smallville]]'' episode "Hothead", [[Playing With Fire|Coach Walt Arnold]] engulfs Clark Kent in massive flames and thinks he's won, only for Clark to nonchalantly step out of them.
Line 161:
* Also, Bitores Mendez of ''[[Resident Evil 4]]''. Leon ignites some gasoline by his feet setting off a 6 foot high explosion. Not only does Bitores survive, but he proceeds to grow 5 inch nails, grow 5 feet taller, and get 2 more limbs. The only thing Leon succeeded in doing was burning his coat.....
* Ganondorf gets one of these in ''[[The Legend of Zelda|Twilight Princess]]'', only there it's more of an {{spoiler|Out Of The Exploding Hyrule Castle.}}
* In ''[[Ocarina of Time]]'', Link goes to the top of Ganon's eight story flying castle, defeats Ganondorf, and escapes with Zelda as the castle collapses. After Navi gives a sigh of relief, Ganondorf blasts out of the rubble, shows off his Triforce of Power and transforms into Ganon, a [[One
* The first run-in with Hunters in ''[[Prototype (Video Game)|Prototype]]'' ends with a military base burning to the ground... and Alex Mercer standing unscathed in the ruins.
* In ''Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders'', upon Regnier's first appearance you are told to lure him into a forest and proceed to light said forest on fire using your archer's fire arrows, [[Tempting Fate|followed with a comment of how the enemy have fallen]] along with some praise of a job well done. Cut to a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKzHs6iibbk scene of the fire] with Regnier's entire unit marching out unaffected, as the music starts up.
Line 175:
== Web Comics ==
* ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court (Webcomic)|Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' inverts this, with Antimony marching ''into'' a burning room. The boy inside sees her emerging, unscathed, from the flames all the same. ({{spoiler|Granted, the fire was [[Master of Illusion|illusory]], but it looked real enough that the fire walk required tremendous courage on Annie's part.}})
* In ''[[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]'', Grace's final showdown with [[Arch Enemy|Damien]] ends with him about to [[Taking You With Me|self destruct]] rather than taking up Grace's offer to redeem himself. Grace reluctantly decides to save herself, but is still caught in the explosion, and would have probably died (or not<ref>if you take into account her fireproof fur, perhaps only hurt</ref>), if not for {{spoiler|[[Deus Ex Machina|the timely intervention]] of a character from the [[Alternate Universe|Alpha]] [[The Multiverse|Universe]] [[What Do You Mean
* ''[[Homestuck]]'': {{spoiler|Rose and Dave literally rise out of the Green Sun, completely unharmed<ref>okay technically they were killed by its creation and just [[Came Back Strong]]</ref>, possibly millennia after creating it themselves. It's unspeakably badass.}}
