== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[Berserk]]'', after the fight with Rosine, Guts is a complete mess. That also happens to be when he runs into the Holy Iron Chain Knights. He still puts up a hell of a fight, but gets captured at the end of it. In any other condition he would have killed them all.
* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', [[Colonel Badass|Roy Mustang]] takes down a {{spoiler|deadly, deadly Lust}} after being stabbed in the stomach and [[Playing with Fire|cauterizing the wounds himself]]. [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)/Awesome|It was awesome]].
