Line 10:
Named after a common term in internet fight threads, itself probably a reference to the Nazi tactic of blitzkrieg.
If the blitz takes the form of a hail of punches, it's [[Rapid
Compare [[Single
{{examples}}
Line 24:
* In ''[[Claymore]]'' the Flash Sword and Wind Cutter techniques unleash a storm of ''iaido''-style slashes so fast that weaker characters cannot tell the user has moved, and powerful enough to disintegrate a tree in seconds.
* Racer from [[Fairy Tail]] does this to Gray and Lyon.
* Near the end of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers]]'', Fate activates [[Super Mode|Sonic Drive]] and demonstrates how much faster she is now by dashing past [[Cyborg|Sette]], [[Wrecked Weapon|slicing up her]] [[Precision
* Famous example from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'': Hiei vs. Seiryu. Seiryu is fast enough to throw a hundred punches in a split second. Their fight ends in seconds, Hiei having slashed Seiryu ''sixteen times'' with his sword, [[You Are Already Dead|before Seiryu even knew he was cut]].
*** Hiei seems to love this trope, as he repeated something just like this in the Dark Tournament in his "fight" against Makintaro. Hiei takes out his sword. Next thing Makintaro knows, his arm's been cut off. Hiei then proceeds to hold said arm in the air, and only then does Makintaro realize what's happened, and cry out in pain.
* [[The Hero|Luffy]] from ''[[One Piece]]'' upon entering [[Super Mode|Gear Second]]. In more recent arcs, he can enter this form quickly and exit out of it easily, so most of his attacks are in this form.
** [[Secret Police|CP9]] agents are fond of this with their [[Flash Step|Soru]] technique. The most basic way to assassinate someone is to Soru over to them, then use [[Finger
* [[Yaiba]] is very fast and sometimes he/or his enemy can reach such a level of speed. {{spoiler|During the last battle against Possessed Onimaru on Orochi he was so fast that he managed to dodge several [[Sword Beam]] while apparently standing still.}}
* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', this trope is used in several ways:
Line 48:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* In [http://axecop.com/index.php/acask/read/ask_axe_cop_46/ this] ''Ask [[Axe Cop (Webcomic)|Axe Cop]]'' comic, Axe Cop explains how he became the world's fastest chopper by [[Caffeine Bullet Time|downing a can of Red Bull]] [[Off With His Head|and decapitating 1,000 bad guys]] [[Single
* Bro Strider in ''[[Homestuck]]'' can move so fast that he can and does fight by using [[Creepy Doll|Lil' Cal]], essentially fighting using ''real time stop motion''.
** {{spoiler|Dirk can too.}} Dave on the other hand is a [[Time Master]] and uses it to make his [[Flash Step]] seem faster, though he's genuinely pretty quick himself.
