History Main / UnflinchingWalk

* Done several times in ''Manga/{{Monster}}'', usually by the [[DissonantSerenity extraordinarily calm Johan]], but once or twice by other characters.
** Of note because it's unexpected for the character, [[RichBitch Eva]] does this after [[spoiler:setting her own mansion ablaze in a rage.]]

* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', During the second episode after Unit 01 goes Berserk, nearly kills the Third Angel and it self destructs, Unit 01 can then be seen casually walking away from the epicenter of the explosion that leveled a city block yet there is no visible damage on Unit 01 that resulted from the explosion. The same shot is used in the first ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'' film.

* Malgus of ''VideoGame/TheOldRepublic'' fame does one towards danger in the Return trailer. Having just grabbed his [[DualWielding master's lightsaber]], he walks toward a Jedi master while effortlessly slicing apart the various debris thrown at him until he finally leaps through an exploding turbine.

* Franchise/{{Sonic|TheHedgehog}} got one or two of these in ''Anime/SonicX''.
** In the Death Egg Boss fight of ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'', Classic Sonic lands and strikes a pose after Metal Sonic is destroyed, complete with small explosions.
*** [[spoiler:Subverted seconds later when he does flinch from the explosions.]]
* In ''VideoGame/StarFox64'' if you defeat the Macbeth boss by flipping all eight switches and sending him down the wrong track, he goes racing out of control straight into a weapons factory. The next shot is of Fox calmly driving away from a massive explosion in the Land Master.
* Artanis in ''VideoGame/StarcraftIILegacyOfTheVoid'' ends up doing this in the cinematic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0kcHS0Tcu0 'Alone']], where at the end of it, he proceeds to Unflinching ''Warp'' away from [[spoiler:a planet-destroying explosion after standing his ground against a large number of Zerg right after he had set Shakuras's Xel'Naga temple on overload]].
* Done in one of the trailers (''[[http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/deceived-cinematic-trailer Deceived]]'') for the ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic''. Unflinching Walks appear to be a Sith trademark.

* ''Film/IronMan'': Iron Man attaches a bomb to a target with one of his rockets, then turns around and starts walking away before setting it off.

** ''Film/IronMan2:'' Whiplash does the unflinching walk ''twice''.

* TheStinger ending to ''Film/FastAndFuriousSix'' features an EstablishingCharacterMoment of Deckard Shaw [[Film/TheFastAndTheFuriousTokyoDrift killing Han by blowing up his car in Tokyo.]] Not only does Deckard walk away while the car explodes, he even calls Dom during the explosion to let him know who he's dealing with.

* The PC does this in [[MultipleEndings two endings]] of ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines''. Your PC calmly strides away from the ruins of [[spoiler:[=LaCroix=]'s building]] as bits of flaming debris come hurling into the ground next to him.

* The music video for the new Music/TaylorSwift song "Bad Blood" features Taylor and several other women walking away from an explosion.

* The opening movie of ''Neo VideoGame/{{Contra}}'' ends with Bill Rizer and Jaguar walking OutOfTheInferno then [[SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou shooting at the screen]].

* In ''Film/{{Desperado}}'' El Mariachi and Carolina toss a couple of grenades into the bookstore, then stride away. An impressive calm for an unremarkable bookstore owner.

[[strike:Walking away]] [[LastChorusSlowDown Stumbling down]] like Action Movie [[strike:Hero Boy]] [[LastChorusSlowDown Blooper Reel]]

-->And blowing to bits right [[strike:behind]] [[MoodWhiplash including]] me!

** In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqz5dbs5zmo music video]] for this it is subverted in the end when the characters attempted to do this.
* The cover art of English big-beat duo [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propellerheads Propellerheads]]'s first (and only) album [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decksandrumsandrockandroll Decksanddrumsandrockandroll]] depicts the members of the group silhouetted and walking away from a fiery blast.
* In the beginning of Gangnam Style, Music/{{PSY}} and two women walk while an excessive amount of wind blows debris and unknown sticky white particles. The women wind up covering their faces but PSY [[ImplacableMan just keeps on singing]].

* Astrid from ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'', the LoveInterest, is first seen [[http://www.aceshowbiz.com/images/still/how_to_train_your_dragon07.jpg walking out of a huge explosion,]] almost model-like (complete with HairFlip!)

* WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}} ''tries'' to do this, but unfortunately for him he underestimates just how big the explosion is and how much debris is flying through the air, with the end result that he just ends up scurrying in away in complete terror:

* Dekoppa from ''Manga/MajinDevil''does one with a bundle of pipes while striding towards an ancient devil who produces soundwaves that reduces concrete down to its very atoms. He is also a BadassBookworm.

* Xzibit's 1998 music video "What U See Is What U Get" features the rapper walking to the store and back home through the streets of Los Angeles, where a numerous of chaotic incidents, such as carjacking, bombing, shooting, and store looting, is happening around him, all of which he is oblivious to while walking.

* In '''Animation/WaltzWithBashir''', IntrepidReporter Ron Ben-Yishai does this while covering combat in Beirut, walking slowly and upright through a firefight while everyone else (including his cameraman) tries to keep low or take cover. This is made even more badass because Ben-Yishai actually did this in RealLife!
