Line 28:
* In ''[[Inuyasha]]'', the "sharp shot to the solar plexus" move was once used by Miroku to subdue a peasant girl whom he was trying to move to safety.
* ''[[Mazinger Z]]'': Boss used the "low blow to the solar plexus" variant with {{spoiler|Kouji}} to try to avoid he {{spoiler|fought against the Mykene Warrior Monsters in the last episode.}} Maybe it was used in a more realistic way than usual, though, since when {{spoiler|Kouji}} regained consciousness a while after, he seemed being in pain.
* Used inconsistently in the ''[[Ranma One Half½|Ranma 1/2]]'' manga and anime. ''Not'' counting the comedy [[Hammerspace]] hammers, or the ubiquitous [[Megaton Punch]], there are many instances where these martial arts masters are knocked out with serious, deliberate blows to the head. Since these are people who have withstood the equivalent of exploding tank shells, mountains collapsing on top of them, and accumulative damage from prolonged duels, the ease with which they can be incapacitated with an elbow (or kick) to the skull is mind-boggling.
* In ''[[Naruto]]'', Sasuke knocks Sakura out with a blow to the back of the head before leaving Konoha. When she got up, it was pretty much exactly like she just fell asleep.
** To be fair, we don't know exactly how Sasuke knocked her out. We saw her face and heard a blow, and then she fell over.
