History Main / MajorInjuryUnderreaction

* Fate Averruncus from ''MahouSenseiNegima''. When [[spoiler: his sorta-minion Tsukuyomi challenges him to a duel and cuts his arm off (basically for giggles), his reaction to the lost limb is basically bland unconcern. He actually ''uses the severed limb as a comedic prop'', and seems more worried that he did the joke wrong than that his arm is off.]] Especially odd considering his [[ItsPersonal earlier]] [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou reaction]] to being [[MinorInjuryOverreaction punched in the face for the first time]].
* In MuhyoAndRoji, Vector, a powerful half-ghast, barely survives getting crushed by the Hands of Hades, which results in him bloodied and having BloodFromTheMouth. He remarks that he's glad the rest of the Magical Law practitioners he's up against aren't as powerful as Muhyo.

* The titular character from JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac is perfectly fine when his 'spine explodes.'

* In Fanfic/HaloHalosInSpace, Joe Chief leaps at the Spines Alien and gets pierced by the spines, but breaks them off in the process. Both respond with an "Ow."

* ''{{Persona 4}}'': I think mine cracked too... [[GroinAttack Critical Hit to the nads..."]]
* ''TeamFortress2'': I appear to have burst into flames.
** Oddly one of the Spy's other reactions to it is "Fire, ''fire'', '''fire'''!" (his third is another case of this being "I do believe I am on fire.")

* Agro, the horse from ''{{Shadow of the Colossus}}, could be counted. If he's hit with an exploding arrow, falls from a low cliff (which could permanently cripple a real horse), or gets shot by Basaran, the most he'll do is limp for a while -- and he'll even stop early if you jump on his back.

* In ''{{Red Vs Blue}}'', Sarge is shot in the head. Upon appearing in the afterlife, he is only annoyed that he didn't get to screw with Grif one last time. This situation also fits because Grif's response to the injury is to perform CPR, which strangely works. Sarge berates Grif once he regains consciousness.
-->'''Sarge:''' Grif... Why in hell would you give somebody CPR for a bullet wound in the head? That don't make a lick of sense. I mean, it's all so damn inconsistent! What would you do if they stabbed me in the toe? Rub my neck with aloe vera?
** Note that when first told he was revived with CPR he was relieved and amazed someone thought up such a brilliant idea -- until he found out it was ''Grif'' who did it.

-->'''Doctor:''' Now, I'm not mad at you two... But I ''am'' disappointed. I'll hold out on lecturing you until after I get my transfusion stash out of the fridge. I think my body has just enough blood to keep a kitten alive right now.

-->Zoidberg: Oh, the hypochondriac's back! So what is it this time?
-->Fry: Well, my lead pipe hurts a little.
-->Zoidberg: That's normal
* During a ''{{The Fairly OddParents}}'' episode in which they parody ''Star Wars'' (Timmy being Skywalker, naturally), Timmy's hand gets light saber'd off like in the movie, but his response is different: "Hey-- I only have two of those!"

* ''Hulk vs... Wolverine'' we get Deadpool who lost an arm, and being stomped by Hulk. His reaction?
A joke: '''Could you give me a hand?'''
And '''Ow...'''

** Some people do not possess the ability to feel pain. This can lead to them suffering serious injuries and only realizing it when their bodies stop functioning.
*** The condition is called Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis or CIPA.

* Leon Trotsky, formerly Vladimir Lenin's #2 man, was seeking asylum in Mexico City. An assassin sent by JosefStalin broke into his home, and buried an icepick in his head. Trotsky stood up, ''icepick in head'' and fought off the assassin before he was subdued by his bodyguard. He was rushed to the hospital, and died a day later. ''[[{{Cracked}} Hopefully he lived long enough to fire his bodyguards...]]''
* [[HandicappedBadass Douglas Bader]]'s diary entry after losing both his legs in a plane crash; "Crashed slow-rolling near ground. [[{{Understatement}} Bad show.]]" Of course, being an RAF pilot he had both StiffUpperLip ''and'' ChuckYeager working in his favour...

Often [[JustifiedTrope justified]] by the character being [[MadeOfIron resistant to pain in some way]] or a BadAss. In RealLife, a person might not notice an injury right away due to adrenaline, which is one of the body's natural pain killers. Also, if the pain is too great, your brain just chooses not to tell you about it. The human body is weird like that sometimes. May be used to make a MortalWoundReveal more shocking

* Leon Trotsky, formerly Vladimir Lenin's #2 man, was seeking asylum in Mexico City. An assassin sent by JosefStalin broke into his home, and buried an axe in his head. Trotsky stood up, ''axe in head'' and fought off the assassin before he was subdued by his bodyguard. He was rushed to the hospital, and died a day later.

* In real life, while campaigning for re-election, US President Teddy Roosevelt was shot in the chest. Declining suggestions that a hospital visit might be in order, Roosevelt instead proceeded to give a 90 minute speech, opening with the lines:

* [[DefusingTheTykeBomb Defused]] TykeBomb [[{{Batman}} Cassandra Cain]] was prone to this. It was explained in [[TrainingFromHell her backstory.]]

* One {{yakuza}} member in [[KyonBigDamnHero Kyon: Big Damn Hero]] was terrified about how little desire for retribution [[spoiler:Kyon possessed after being shot]]. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] because they had been healed afterwards and only one of the bullets actually got through, as well as [[[spoiler:[[{{Ptitlexn9xzsjd5fif}} Chekhov's Gun]] reducing damage.]]
