Line 32:
** ''[[Mazinkaiser (Anime)|Mazinkaiser]]'': Kouji also does it in this series.
* ''[[Naruto (Manga)|Naruto]]''
** This happens during the title character's [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|fight with Gaara.]] There is some injury, causing both characters to bleed, and it also [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|shatter Gaara's control over his jutsu]]. ''You'' try maintaining the form of a hundred-foot tall [[Eldritch Abomination]] through that.
** Also, the filler episode where Hinata opens a door to find Naruto standing upside-down on the ceiling so that his face is, like, three inches from hers. She, [[Shrinking Violet|of]] [[Fan of Underdog|course]], [[Luminescent Blush|blushes beet-red]] with her crush so close to her. When Naruto puts a hand to her forehead (he [[Oblivious to Love|mistakes the blush for a fever-flush]]), she screams and then impulsively headbutts him across the room, knocking both him and herself out.
** At the end of chapter 563 Naruto {{spoiler|does this to Tobi}} immediately upon finding him. That's right, his opening move against {{spoiler|the [[Big Bad]]}} was a headbutt. Naruto complained about him having too hard a head afterward.
Line 41:
* In ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho (Manga)|Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', Chu tries to finish off Yusuke with a headbutt, but Yusuke counters it with an even stronger headbutt, and then quips that humans invented it.
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima (Manga)|Mahou Sensei Negima]]''
** This is what {{spoiler|Nagi does to Arika to stop her from her [[Self -Deprecation]]. TWICE. While running away from a horde of monsters. With no magic. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Definitely one of the funniest scenes]] ever.}}
** In chapter 320, Negi invokes this to object with Fate.
* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Anime)|Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'': this is, oddly enough, how ''hacking'' works. (The Gurren Lagann also has a habit of using its head, admittedly as a [[Fastball Special|guided missile]]).
Line 162:
** In ''[[Super Mario RPG (Video Game)|Super Mario RPG]]'', give Bowser the Hurly Gloves and watch him take his frustrations with Mario out on the enemies, even if Mario is at 0 HP!
* ''[[Mass Effect (Video Game)|Mass Effect]]''
** This is how [[Proud Warrior Race|krogans]] say "shut up" in ''[[Mass Effect 1 (Video Game)|Mass Effect 1]]''. Play your cards right in the sequel, and you'll get a chance to do this as well... [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|to a krogan.]] [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|Successfully.]]
** In the third game, Shepard can end up doing this to Khalisah Al-Jilani after she dodges his/her traditional sucker punch.
** Also in the third game, but in multiplayer, this the standard melee attack for krogan characters.
Line 196:
 
== Web Comics ==
* In ''[[Eight 8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Eight Bit Theater]]'', as explained by Black Mage: "The main tactic of the Ram Form of Zodiackenshido is to break your opponent's equipment with your head before he breaks your head with his equipment." Fighter's the only human ever to succeed at this without dying in the process.
* An interesting version of this trope resides in ''[[Dominic Deegan]]'' with the character Rachel, whose favorite pastime is breaking objects (and occasionally people) with her ''face''. This, of course, leads to comedy whenever villains try to punch, or occasionally headbutt, her in the face.
