* The WesternAnimation/YoungJustice episode ''Agendas'' features a fight between two Superman clones, HalfHumanHybrid Superboy and full Kryptonian Match. Unlike Superboy, Match has all of Superman's powers, including flight, heat vision and a greater degree of SuperStrength. Superboy is tossed around like a ragdoll until he's forced to resort to a device given to him by Luthor, which temporarily suppresses his human side. Cue Superboy pulling off a PunchCatch and growling "My turn!"

* In {{Dragonball}} this phrase is used about 9001 times.

* [[FinalFantasyIV "Was it flame? I'll show you how!"]]

* This occurs in an episode of ''StaticShock'' when TheJoker, {{Batman}} and Robin make an appearance. After the Joker is foiled and lying prone on the ground, he calls out for Batman to help, and shocks the hand offered him. Virgil kindly repays the favor with extreme prejudice, after saying, "That was fun! Now it's my turn."

* Ash Ketchum from ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}'' used the phrase a lot. (Being based on a [[MediumAwareness turn-based game]] and all...)

* ''Manga/{{Black Cat}}'''s Train used this (in the first volume of the manga, IIRC) against a villain, after ''deflecting the villain's bullets with his custom-made gun'', along with one of the [[SlasherSmile freakiest insane faces]] This Troper has ever seen.

* This is basically what happens when [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Unit 01]] goes berserk.
* [[{{Naruto}} Sasuke Uchiha]] pulls this during the Chunin Exam Arc after [[NoSell effortlessly, instantaneously dodging]] [[SmugSnake Zaku's]] attack. His turning toward Zaku ''after'' knocking him some 20 feet all but says it. [[OhCrap The look on Zaku and Dosu's faces]] confirm it.

* ''{{V for Vendetta}}''. Not nearly as blatant as the movie version, nor does he say "Now it's my turn". He does, however, give a monologue after being shot.

[[folder: Film ]]

* In ''{{V for Vendetta}}'', V plays this straight [[spoiler:by absorbing a colossal amount of automatic gunfire]] in his final battle, with the aid of some heavy armour. He then kicks butt while the goons attempt to reload, [[spoiler:before struggling back to the Tube station with his mortal injuries.]]

* Morgana le Fey in ''[[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/TheSorcerersApprentice?from=Main.ptitlege21stnh The Sorcerer's Apprentice]]'' after she dodges some plasma ball threw by the main character.

* In the ''DextersLaboratory'' episode "Dexter Dodgeball", Dexter is forced to participate in school gym class and therefore becomes the target of bullies in a match of dodgeball. After several days suffering abuse, he finally invents something to assist him in defeating them. Cut to a [=CMoA=], when Dexter utters the phrase after not flinching when balls get thrown at him.

-->''You've had your eight, now I'll have my eighty.

* Film/{{Hellboy}} during his fight with the demon dogs in the first movie, says this, where upon he knocks the thing around by its tongue

* In ''{{V for Vendetta}}'', V plays this straight [[spoiler:by absorbing a colossal amount of automatic gunfire]] in his final battle, with the aid of some heavy armour. He then kicks butt while the goons attempt to reload, [[spoiler:before struggling back to the Tube station with his mortal injuries]].

* Used by Clark Kent in the ''{{Smallville}}'' episode "Combat", before unleashing a [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome hellacious beating on the superpowered killer, Titan]].
* Used by Theokoles in the Starz television series ''SpartacusBloodandSand'' when Spartacus and Crixus are dueling a tag-team against Theokoles, the Shadow of Death (who is totally undefeated). They enter the ring with Crixus announcing "Capua! Shall we begin?" and the two work as a well-oiled machine, fighting as one, to bring the giant down. They turn to the crowd, who chant their names, and then silently fall back into their seats. A medium-wide shot shows the giant [[OhCrap getting back-up,]] and as they turn to watch him, announcing "Capua! Shall ''I'' Begin?".

* Variation occurs in ''RedDwarf'' episode "Terrorform" when Lister, Kryten, and the Cat unload their bazookoids (Blasters designed for ''mining asteroids'') at Rimmer's personified Self-Loathing. When the dust clears, it merely asks "Is it my turn now?" in a bored tone.

* In the ''RedDwarf'' episode "Terrorform", the personification of Rimmer's self-loathing, after withstanding a volley of bazookoid fire, mockingly asks "Is it my turn now?"

* [[BigBad Brad Whitaker]] in ''TheLivingDaylights''

** This type of thing shows up in Bond films all the time. In ''Dr.No'', one of the bad guys is sent to kill Bond, but Bond makes it look like he's lying in bed asleep, and the assassin shoots the bed six times before Bond reveals himself. The bad guy drops his gun, and Bond politely interrogates him as he lowers his guard momentarily to light a cigarette. The bad guy quickly picks his gun back up and attempts to shoot Bond. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btjBvrly2aI Just watch the scene for yourself to see Bond's sheer awesomeness.]]

* The final battle of the first ''{{Blade}}'' movie.

* It's used romantically in [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5971289/1/The_Fine_Art_of_Wenching this]] fanfic of the live-action Disney version of ''TheThreeMusketeers''. Beware: slash and historical inaccurateness.

* A wordless variant occurs in ''{{Goldfinger}}'', courtesy of Oddjob.

* Actually said by Wolverine at the ending of [[http://dailypop.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/uncanny-x-men-132-pic1-wolverine.jpg Uncanny X-Men #132]]. That line and the issue that follows are widely considered a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for Logan.
** Kitty Pryde gets an homage to this - same panel, same line - during JossWhedon's run on ''Astonishing X-Men'', after the Hellfire Club take down the rest of the team leaving her to go up against them on her own.

* Hit Girl's "I have one of those" about a butterfly knife in ''Kickass'' could qualify as this.

So it looks like the villain has the hero on the ropes. The villain has just unleashed his superweapon - NoOneCouldSurviveThat, surely!

But wait! The hero's just fine! In fact, that just gave him more confidence. Grinning, he says something like "Now it's my turn!" and proceeds to unleash an even more powerful attack and save the day.

Can also be performed by villains against a group of Redshirts with the retaliation being a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.

Essentially, this is HeroicSecondWind minus YouCanBarelyStand.

* [[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Nanoha]] said this during her last battle with Fate after [[TheWorfBarrage she survived Fate's]] [[MacrossMissileMassacre Photon Lancer Phalanx Shift]] then responded with [[WaveMotionGun Divine Buster]]. [[spoiler: Then she immediately followed ''that'' up with a bind and the even bigger [[WavemotionGun Starlight Breaker]]. [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill Yeah, Nanoha doesn't play very fair]].]] She loves to do this in general, letting the enemy hit her with their best attack, then [[DefeatMeansFriendship befriending the fail outta them]] with a blast that'd make the WaveMotionGun envious.
* Ash Ketchum from ''{{Pokemon}}'' used the phrase a lot. (Being based on a [[MediumAwareness turn-based game]] and all...)
* ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'': Joey was the most prolific user of this. (It helps that they're playing a turn-based card game...)
* {{Black Cat}}'s Train used this (in the first volume of the manga, IIRC) against a villain, after ''deflecting the villain's bullets with his custom-made gun'', along with one of the [[SlasherSmile freakiest insane faces]] This Troper has ever seen.
* Alucard from ''{{Hellsing}}'' does this all the time, letting enemies apparently kill him before [[HealingFactor regenerating]]. Cue beatdown.

* River in ''{{Serenity}}'' says just that before [[spoiler:charging on an army worth of Reavers and ''killing them all'']]. Of course, she didn't take a huge attack or something, only [[spoiler:all her {{Nakama}} are incapacitated at that point]].
** To elaborate, [[spoiler:Simon's medical kit is on the other side, and Kaylee is dead without it; nobody has any ammo or really any weapons. River says [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming "No. You take care of me, Simon.]] [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome You've always taken care of me.]] ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome My turn."]]'', runs across the room in slow motion, UNARMED, and jumps into a room teeming with Reavers as the blast door closes behind her (she tosses the medkit through right before the doors close). A while later, we see a blood-soaked River AtopAMountainOfCorpses, with two Reaver axes. [[SoCoolItsAwesome THIS IS WHY PEOPLE LOVE THIS SHOW]].]]
* The movie version of ''Film/IronMan'' also has one of these moments as he's breaking out of the terrorists' camp.

* The final battle of the first ''{{Blade}}'' movie.
** This is the [[InvertedTrope inverted]] version. Blade has just sliced the BigBad'a arm off and then sliced his body in half. The villain regenerates within seconds and utters the quote before moving at lightning speed and unleashing a world of hurt on Blade.
* The Monkey King in ''TheForbiddenKingdom'' says this just seconds after his revival.
* In ''{{V for Vendetta}}'', V plays this straight [[spoiler:by absorbing a colossal amount of automatic gunfire]] in his final battle, with the aid of some heavy armour. He then kicks butt while the goons attempt to reload, [[spoiler:before struggling back to the Tube station with his mortal injuries]].
* In the beginning of VanHelsing, as the title character is struggling in his fight to bring down Mr. Hyde, he shoots Hyde through the gut with a grapple, and attempts to pull the monster off Notre Dame. Hyde regains his balance, grabs the wire, and yells "My turn!" [[spoiler: Then he dies from a serious case of TooDumbToLive.]]
* Hit Girl's "I have one of those" about a butterfly knife in ''Kickass'' could qualify as this.

* Parson Adams in Henry Fielding's Joseph Andrews, making this OlderThanRadio.

[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
* Subverted in ''DarkAngel'' episode "Fuhgeddaboudit". After Max beats up Alec/X5-494 for a while, Alec/X5-494 says "My turn now, bitch." Max then distracts him, kicks him in the groin and takes him out. [[http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0554574/quotes Read the full conversation.]]

* [[FinalFantasyIV "Was it flame? I'll show you how!"]]
* During the Nick Bruiser fight in ''Super PunchOut'', you get to hit him as much as you like for the first few seconds without retaliation. For each hit you land, his strength goes up. Once he starts moving, if you were foolish enough to fall for it, his fists play out this trope.
** In the Wii version, during the Title Defense fight with Mr. Sandman, he poses with one arm down and groans "Dreamlannnnnnnnd" before his Big Apple Combo. If you try to punch him, he dodges, yells ''"My turn!"'' and delivers a ''very'' strong hook.

[[AC:WebOriginal]]
* Used in ''SuperMarioBrosZ'' when Axem Red blasts Mecha Sonic with a giant laser, doing no damage.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]
* This occurs in an episode of ''StaticShock'' when the Joker, Batman and Robin make an appearance. After the Joker is foiled and lying prone on the ground, he calls out for Batman to help, and shocks the hand offered him. Virgil kindly repays the favor with extreme prejudice, after saying, "That was fun! Now it's my turn."
** The actual line was "That looks fun! Let me try..." Still the same effect, though.
* In the DextersLaboratory episode "Dexter Dodgeball", Dexter is forced to participate in school gym class and therefore becomes the target of bullies in a match of dodgeball. After several days suffering abuse, he finally invents something to assist him in defeating them. Cut to a CMoA, when Dexter utters the phrase after not flinching when balls get thrown at him.
* The Bloom/Icy battle at the end of the first season of WinxClub is basically a contest to see who can do this better.
