* The Duels in ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' often contain some form of this; Utena's part, though, can be either participatory, or merely reactionary, depending on how invested she is at the moment... or how confused. (Utena, not the audience.) Theatrically, in a series where the difference between reality and reality-as-a-stage has blurred, the duels were depicted as cathartic. This is especially blatant in the final Nanami duel, as {{spoiler|both participants know Nanami hasn't a shot in hell of winning from the start and just needs to HIT someone.}}
** In the Utena [[Live Action Role Play]] ''Still Places'', the winner of a duel is partially determined by whose banter was more psychologically damaging to the opponent.

* Snape, ever the teacher, corrects Harry's technique and lectures him on his mistakes while they duel near the end of ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Half-Blood Prince (novel)|Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]''.
