Line 91:
* To complete his ninja training in ''[[Transformers Animated]]'', Prowl has to master the processor-over-matter technique and move objects with his mind (sort of) in order to complete his cyberninja training. He does, but {{spoiler|by that point his master's been dead for millions of years, so he technically never completes his training.}}
* A variant occurred in an episode of ''[[Hey Arnold]]!''; part of Arnold's martial arts training was to catch a fly in his Grandma's hand. He eventually does so, but ends up crushing it in his hands because he was too fast. Cue [[Squick]] from master and student.
* ''[[Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi]]'', "Ninjacompoop". Yumi undergoes ninja training from a [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Monkeys|monkey master]] who gives her this spiel. Try as she might, Yumi can't get the pebble. In frustration she stomps on his tail, causing him to drop the pebble so she could catch it.
* A martial arts themed segment of the [[Super Mario Bros Super Show]] has a scene where, after undergoing "[[Foo Fu|Plum Fu]]" training, Luigi successfully snatches a washer from the martial arts master's hand.
