Dynamic Entries in Anime and Manga.


  • Otcho from 20th Century Boys leaps through a church window to plant himself between his ally Kanna and a Mook pointing a shotgun at her.
  • Variation in Ai Yori Aoshi: Chika pulls a flying tackle on Kaoru that ends with her crotch right in his face. And holds on for far longer than poor Kaoru is comfortable with.
  • Ken Akamatsu seems to like this trope:
    • This is Su's standard greeting to Keitaro in Love Hina. In one case, she runs across a rooftop to deliver one through an open window...and somehow lands with her legs wrapped around his head.
    • Asuna to Ayaka twice in Chapter 14 (Volume 2) of ''Negima! Magister Negi Magi' — once breaking Negi's Marshmallow Hell, and once in the subsequent flashback to snap her out of her grief at her brother's stillbirth.
    • Come to think of it, the girls of 3-A will do this for just about any reason. Even to say "hello" in at least one case.
    • This happens a lot in Negima, whenever someone barges in a scene. It's sometime justified, such as when Asuna socks Eva to stop her from drinking Negi's blood, but it just gets bizarre when Little Miss Snarker Yue does it as she interjects in a perfectly mundane conversation between her classmates. Asuna is really fond of it. Chisame seems to be picking it up, too.
    • Even the Shrinking Violet Nodoka's done it, but she used a big heavy book. Justified because she was stopping Haruna creating different out-of-character versions of herself — for a laugh.
    • Nodoka and Yue do the above simultaneously when the same Haruna attempts to create more mischief. Albeit, they were already in the same room, so it's less on the entry part.
    • Then there's Anya, who enters with a Freaking Flying Fire Kick that Negi barely dodges. Granted, she appeared two panels before between Nodoka and Yue, but they were watching from afar.
    • Chapter 280 has Setsuna quite literally dropping in from out of nowhere, in the process hacking off the arm of the person who was about to kill Nodoka.
  • Assassination Classroom:
    • In his very first scene, Itona enters the classroom by casually walking straight through the back wall.
    • In Chapter 86, Karma comes out of nowhere and pulls off a two footed kick against Shiro's goons, while Maehara takes out another in the background of the same panel with a one footed version.
  • Baccano!'s Rachel features this method of entry during her Big Damn Heroes moment when she saves the Senator's wife and daughter.
  • The Big O: Although the Big O is probably one of the slowest moving robots in anime, it manages to score several throughout the series. In Episode 13, Big O rises from beneath the ground to save Roger from psychopath android Red Destiny. Big O does this by smashing said android into the ceiling of the subway tunnel both Roger and Red Destiny were standing in.
    • Additionally, Big O punches through a wall to save Dorothy from a spider-mech in Season 2.
    • Not to mention how it's usually summoned. It usually shows up coming out of the ground and sometimes collapsing a building for good measure.
  • While Black Lagoon features no shortage of the guns-blazing variant, there's a notable subversion in the 'Roberta's Blood Trail' OVA: a bunch of hapless Colombian Cartel mooks attempt a door breach on a room full of US Special Forces, only to get shot straight through the door. To make things worse, one of them drops the grenade he was holding, which proceeds to bounce down the stairway to where the rest of the Cartel mooks had been standing. Unsurprisingly the US forces easily escape in the confusion.
  • Isshin Kurosaki from Bleach does this to his son Ichigo every morning. It was even featured in one of the openings for the series. Hell, it happened in the very first episode ever when the poor boy walks into his house! On at least one occasion, Ichigo has even dynamic-entried his father back!
    • Also, when Orihime first learns of her power from her "guardian spirits", the grim spirit Tsubaki does this to the leader spirit Shun'u for wasting time explaining to Orihime while a Hollow is bearing down on them.
    • Keigo and Mizuiro first met Ichigo and Chad when they pull a simultaneous Dynamic Entry in front of them, by kicking two Delinquents in their faces and then running away.
    • Komamura pulls one on Poww, who has Ikkaku down for the count. How? He punches him in the face. Which sends Poww flying into a house.
    • In the manga, Nel and Pesche return to the story via pulling these on Ichigo after his meeting and brief fight with Ivan Azgiaro.
    • When Yoruichi returns to the story in the last arc, it's via her suddenly thrusting her hand through the centre of Orihime's breasts to correct her very Stripperiffic dress's position back on Orihime's chest.
  • In the anime/manga Buso Renkin, Mamoru Sakimori (Captain Bravo) is fond of doing this. Sometimes he says the phrase, sometimes he eschews it in favor of simple buttkickery.
  • In Case Closed Chapter 830, Sera Masumi pulls this on none other than Kaitou Kid. Kid disguised himself as Sera, thinking she was a boy and even going as far as stripping her out of her outerwear, something he normally never does to women. One of the reasons Kid made the error he did is that he caught Sera was in the boys' restroom (Turns out the girls' toilets were full).
  • A Certain Magical Index has several of these, including many from Kuroko to get close to Mikoto or to keep someone else from getting close to her.
    • Also Touma pulls several of these for a last-second spell cancel or fist to the face
    • One of the most epic examples was Touma blowing open the doors to a church to save Orsola from Agnese and her nuns, backed by a blazing wall of fire created by Stiyl's fire demon Innocentius.
  • CLANNAD: Done by Kyou to Sunohara when the latter was messing with her pet boar — immediately preceded by a well-aimed textbook to the face.
  • Code Geass:
    • Suzaku Kururugi smashes through a window to attack Mao in the first season.
      • In R2 Episode 21 (Episode 46), he drops from the ceiling to knock out a whole squad of guards with a single Hurricane Kick after Lelouch declares himself Emperor, a move which earned him one of the most amusing of his many nicknames, "Roofzaku".
    • The first season finale has Jeremiah "Orange Boy" Gottwald ambushing Lelouch by crashing his custom aircraft, the Siegfried, through a wall, screaming "ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!!!" as a battlecry. It's simultaneously hilarious and awesome, considering he's crazy at the time.
  • In Darker than Black, when Wei is just about to kill Kirihara and Saito, Hei blasts a hole in the wall and flies out of the smoke feet first, directly into his face.
  • In Death Note Episode 14 (Friend), Misa jumps onto Light, pushing him to the ground. Needless to say, Light is not amused.
    Light: [thinking] This is the first time in my life that I've been provoked to hit a woman.
  • D.Gray-Man featured a truly epic scene in Chapter 139 when, during Lulu Bell's assault on the Black Order HQ, Allen dropped down from overhead and sliced a Skull in half lengthwise, then announced that This Is Unforgivable! while still standing on top of his BFS.
  • Dragon Ball:
    • Piccolo pretty much lives off this trope especially in the non-canon movies, appearing Just in Time to stop the villains killing Gohan or Goku. Usually has a Pre Ass Kicking One Liner too.
    • Kid Goku's dynamic entrance when saving Tien from Drum in the original series set the standard.
    • Vegeta when he saves Son Goku from being drained to death by Android 19.
      • He gets a pretty good one in Movie Seven too, saving Goku from being throttled by Meta Cooler.
    • (Future) Gohan in the History of Trunks Movie.
      Android 17: That's ten points, now we're ti—(kicked into a building)
  • For Durarara!!'s Shizuo, jump-kicking people is simply too ordinary an introduction. Instead, he throws vending machines at their heads.
    • Taken to its logical conclusion in Volume 9: there's a part where all but one character enters the scene by jump-kicking or trying to jumpkick someone (mostly Izaya) in the face.
  • In Endride, Guidoro flies right into the fray and saves Demetrio's life in the process when he reappears after his Disney Death several episodes earlier.
  • In Excel♡Saga, Excel greets Elgala's face feet first, screaming at her for not being around to help with Hyatt's latest, and possibly actual, death.
  • Fairy Tail: During the Tenrou Island arc, when Grimoire Heart's leader Master Hades has Team Natsu on the ropes and about to blast Natsu after dropping a Breaking Speech, suddenly exiled guildmate Laxus Dreyar blasts his way into the enemy airship in a bolt of lightning to intercept Hades' hand and starts fighting the dark guild leader himself after some trash-talk.
  • Saito from The Familiar of Zero crashes through an expensive-looking glass window and slashes downward at Viscount Wardes just in time to interrupt a wedding. Although most dynamic entries seem random and deus-ex-machina-ish, this one was justified because of Saito's variant of the Magical Eye allowing him to hear and see through his master's senses.
  • In Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA, Illya seems to be fond of these at the ends of story arcs. But even her Dynamic Entries are no match for her mother Irisviel, who jumps a Mercedes Benz 300SL "Gullwing" into the scene!
  • Fire Force: While Rekka is beating Tamaki to death in order to have her take the fall for his crimes, Tamaki quietly begs for someone, anyone, to save her. Shinra picks that exact moment to fly into the building at full speed and stomp Rekka's face into a crater.
  • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood:
    • Episode 23 is basically Dynamic Entry: The Episode. Pretty much everyone gets one, though it's hard to beat Ling bursting up from the sewers to shove a grenade down Gluttony's throat as the best.
    • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood in general is full of these. Note The return of Lanfan in Episode 47.
    • And, in the manga, Izumi is the master of these. Her very first introduction was a freakin' flying kick that took two sheets of awesome!... into Edward's face. But still awesome!
  • Full Metal Panic!: Kaname does this multiple times. In a broader definition, Sousuke also pulls one off with the Arbalest in Khanka: he leaps over a Savage, stabbing it's neck in the process then runs off without stopping for a moment.
  • Done twice practically back-to-back in epic style in Episodes 39/40 of GaoGaiGar. First, Soldato-J inadvertently saves Guy by riding a missile through a wall to fight the Arm and Eye Primevals. In the opening sequence of the very next episode, Mamoru bursts through the floor of the Main Order Room riding Galeon to rescue Mikoto and the GGG bridge crew from the Nail and Ear Primevals.
  • Futaba does this to Gargoyle with amazing frequency in Gargoyle of the Yoshinagas. Probably one of the younger dynamic kickers on this page.
  • In one episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Batou is under fire by invisible assassins while trying to protect a witness. When the Major comes to the rescue, she drives her fancy sports car right into the lobby and up a short flight of stairs, only to jump out and shoot the attackers.
  • In Girls und Panzer, when Oarai's tankery instructor, Ami, turns up, she does so by having her Type-10 Main Battle Tank air-dropped by a huge transport plane, crushing the principal of Oarai Academy's new Ferrari. Why? Well why not?
  • Great Teacher Onizuka: When rescuing Miyabi and her friends, Onizuka makes a Super Window Jump by Fast-Roping from a freaking blimp to crash through the hotel suite window.
  • GTO: The Early Years:
    • Natsu shows up to the fight between the Oni-Baku and Yokohama Cavalry by riding his motorcycle in front of a car, destroying it. He's completely unharmed.
    • Fumiya shows up to rescue Yasuo and Atsushi from an imminent Golf Clubbing by driving onto the thugs, hitting one in the face with his rear tire.
  • Haruhi Suzumiya:
  • In Hayate the Combat Butler, Yukiji does this in Chapter 151 by kicking a bear in the face. Hayate also pulls this routinely.
  • Cure Blossom and Cure Marine entered one battle in Heart Catch Pretty Cure by slamming their rears into the monster's face.
  • Spain from Hetalia: Axis Powers gets his pet bull to pull one of these against Turkey. And in the Hetalia 2010 Bloodbath Iceland arrives at Germany's house in a Santa sleigh.
  • Inuyasha: Sesshoumaru's a big fan of both the Big Entrance and this trope. One of his most notable examples is when Kagome, Sango and Miroku were dying from Mukotsu's poison and Mukotsu tries to strangle Kagome for good measure. Claws rip through the side of Mukotsu's body, saving everyone just in time... and the reveal is that it's Sesshoumaru who made the grand entrance, not Inuyasha. The sole reason this isn't an example of Surprisingly Sudden Death is because Mukotsu is one of the walking dead, resurrected by a shikon shard, so only the removal of the shard from his body will actually kill him. Sesshoumaru achieves that on his second attack.
    • One particularly memorable example was in Episode 128 of the anime. During the Cultural Festival at school, Inuyasha broke through the ceiling searching for one of the monsters lurking around the school, right in the middle of the play Kagome and her friends are performing. To cover it up, Kagome just pretends it's all part of the play.
  • When Jin in Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens simply could not put a foot in his mouth and was about to blow Nagi's cover, she dutifully shuts him up with a "Shaato Youar Mowthu" flying kick.
  • Ayu from Kanon has many dynamic entries upon an unsuspecting Yuichi, especially early in the series.
  • In the opening of the Koihime†Musou OVA, Rinrin tried to do this. Didn't work, and was more for laughs than anything else, but it was close enough.
  • Kyouka, given her general personality, kicks down a door twice in Episode 7 of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki. As she explains, for a god such as herself, such an entry is expected. Lampshaded when her dynamic entries are shown to have gotten the family banned from all but one of the restaurants in the general area.
  • Right when Nao was losing hope in the first Revival round of the Liar Game, Akiyama appears from the window which was definitely not on the first floor.
  • The Love and Creed of Sae Maki:
    • Sae rescues Misao from the thugs harassing her by suddenly kicking one in the head.
    • During Sae's Court Seiga comes to Kokai's rescue by running down her costumed soldier with his motorcycle.
  • In Chapter 13 of the hentai manga Love and Devil, the titular succubus uses some combination of Demonic Possession and telefraging on a man that's having sex with an angel. The result is two parts Ludicrous Gibs, two parts Slasher Smile, and one part Rule of Sexy.
  • After Fate from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's manages to injure the mysterious masked man, a second masked man appears and does this to her.
    • The first masked man debuted this way too, nailing Chrono before he could apprehend Shamal.
    • Earlier in the same season, Nanoha is interrupted from firing her Starlight Breaker by Shamal shoving her arm through Nanoha's chest from behind.
    • In FORCE Deville of Huckebein pulls this on Isis and Nanoha.
  • In Manabi Straight!, Manabi makes this her greeting to her homeroom-teacher-ally upon learning that her much-awaited, blood-and-sweat-planned School Festival was to be canceled out of nowhere.
  • Caren in Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch always does her rescues — er, "rescues" — this way. Then again, it's not as dynamic as most, considering she, and most everyone else in this series, uses The Power of Rock.
  • Mobile Suit Gundam 00's Graham Aker seems to love this, most notable being during ep4 of S2 where he intercepts the 00 Gundam with an aerial tackle just as it's about to destroy the A-Laws carrier.
    • The absolutely epic moment in Episode 35 of Gundam SEED: a ZAFT mobile suit is about to blow away most of the good guys then BAM! The offender's weapon is blown out of his hands! A split second later, Not Quite Dead Kira Yamato and his shiny new Freedom Gundam quite literately drops out of the sky (from orbit!) and decapitates the Mobile Suit with a combination of a high-speed flyby and a beam saber. Absolutely no one saw that one coming.
    • Kira and the Freedom have a knack for this kind of thing, as it happens multiple times in the sequel. He even saves the Minerva's bridge crew in the exact same way he saved the Archangel's back in the original series! The guy certainly knows how to make an entrance.
      • This could be handwaved as laziness from the producers' side, as well as the fact that SEED Destiny had a tighter budget than SEED. As a result, they resorted to re-using old footage and digitally changing a few details, to the point where many of the most epic battle in SEED Destiny are merely Clip Show battles, using altered scenes from earlier in the show, or even from SEED (with new Mobile Suits here and there. Most of Impulse's action-scenes are just footage from Strike Gundam's scenes, with Strike having been digitally replaced with Impulse. Talk about lazy...
      • It's at least justified. The Freedom's powered by a reactor instead of the standard battery packnote  and is also one of the fastest Suits in the series. It can quite literally go anywhere, and very quickly at that (even drop in from orbit as mentioned earlier). And due to the (more often than not) chaotic battle conditions, there is little-to-no warning before he shows up.
  • In My Hero Academia, when a gigantic monster is attacking a city, Sizeshifter heroine Mt. Lady enters with her "Canyon Cannon," a flying kick that knocks the monster off to the side, stealing Kamui Woods's glory in the process. It should be noted this is one of the first few moments of the first chapter.
  • Naruto:
    • Might Guy is the Trope Namer, as seen here. He embodies this trope so much that he invokes it verbatim.
      • Guy's ultimate Eight Gates attack is essentially this, but taken to a level where he approaches his target (Madara) so fast that not only does it catch him off-guard, it warps the space in front of him. The collision of the attack surpasses a Tailed Beast Bomb in destructiveness.
    • In the second Chuunin Exam, Anko introduced herself by somersaulting through the exam room window. It was closed.
    • Conversely, the Raikage's tendency to break down walls or windows in order to leave a room would be a Dynamic Exit.
    • He also provides a straight example: Jugo caught the guy off-guard with his Beam Spam and figured he obliterated him completely. Cue the Raikage popping up out of fucking nowhere and checking Jugo into the wall. Jugo is next seen two and a half chapters later, still stuck in the wall.
    • Animal path Pain breaks into the Leaf Village's interrogation facility by having a giant rhino smash through the wall.
    • Naruto pulls one from above, complete with Rasengen, no less, on Asura path Pain.
  • Neon Genesis Evangelion:
    • Episode 19. Misato and co. are about to be vaporized by an Angel, when Unit 01 bursts through a wall and punches it in the face. You read that right. Dynamic Entry, as performed by a Humongous Mecha. That's what happens when you make Shinji mad.
    • End of Evangelion. Twice: Misato headshots a soldier from off-screen, guns down another while running and pins the last one to the nearest wall when she stops, dropping a Pre-Mortem One-Liner before she shoots him in the head at point-blank range. A while later, Asuka opens The Last Dance against the MP Evas with a flying kick to her first target's skull, turning it into a massive blood splatter on impact.
    • Rebuild of Evangelion 2.0. An Angel appears and blows a fleet of battleships to hell. Misato's car is under fire... then Unit 02 is paradropped from the air, avoids the Angel's attacks and opens fire with a crossbow-like weapon while falling; finishes the job by landing on the core so hard it shatters. You heard that right, by the time Unit 02 lands the Angel is already dead.
    • Mari pulls one off right at the beginning of the film. The Angel is about to escape, the base commander asks "what in the hell is Unit 05 doing?!"... cue said Eva firing it's thrusters underneath the hole the Angel just exited, flying after it and impaling it onto a pillar while the pilot screams "No, you DON'T!!! GET BACK HERE!!!".
    • Also at the end of the film when Kaworu pulls one of these all the way from the moon, impaling Unit 01 with Lance of Cassius thrown from orbit in the process.
  • In Nyaruko: Crawling with Love!, the very first thing the title character does in the story is save Mahiro's life by punching through the chest of a monster that was trying to kill him. The second thing she does is introduce herself to Mahiro by performing Kamen Rider #1's henshin pose and declaring herself "The Crawling Chaos who creeps up on you with a smile!"
  • One Piece on Fish-Man Island. Luffy shoots out of a shark's mouth he was hiding in at the time before performing a soru and kicking the current Big Bad right in the chest, just as he's about to decapitate king Neptune.
    • Luffy has a tendency to do this. In the Alabasta arc, he did this to Smoker and Ace, who were staring each other down a few moments before and preparing to fight, sending them flying through about a dozen buildings. The funniest part is that he wasn't trying to; they just happened to be in his way when he crashed into the restaurant that they were in, looking for food.
    • Sanji is no stranger to this either e.g his dynamic entrances in Rain Dinners and Enies Lobby usually overlaps with Big Damn Heroes.
    • While he doesn't do it as often as Luffy and Sanji do, Zoro still has a few dynamic entrances one of his standouts being his rescue of Brook in Thriller Bark... or his reappearance in the post Time Skip by cutting a ship in half like Mihawk.
    • In the Sabaody Arc X Drake saves Urouge's butt by Dynamic Entrying (albeit using a slight variation) a Pacifista.
    • Near the end of the CP9 saga, Vice-Admiral Garp, Luffy's grandfather, enters into the room where the Straw Hats are staying by punching through the wall. When he later orders his subordinates to fix it, he states that he entered that way because it's cooler. His subordinates counter by making him help with the repairs.
    • Subverted with Usopp during the Big Damn Heroes moment in One Piece Film: Strong World as he gets his foot stuck in the sliding door when trying to kick it open.
      Sanji: You've got do it with flare, here let me show you
      Usopp: Wait I'm still stuck!! SMASH.
    • At the climax of Totto Land arc, Luffy make his entrance to wreck Sanji and Pudding's wedding ceremony by multiplying himself with Brulee's cloning power and bursting out of the gigantic wedding cake prepared for the ceremony.
      • Later in the same arc Sanji burst in the at the last second to save Luffy getting sliced by Charlotte Raisin.
    • Donquixote Mjosgard a White Sheep among Nobles make his entrance by sending Saint Charlos flying with a iron club, when the former was trying to make Shirahoshi a Sex Slave.
    • Wano Arc:
      • Luffy greets Kaido by hitting him with a Elephant Gun to head.
      • King one of Kaido's Co-Dragons appears in his Pteranodon-form to kick Big Mom's ship off a waterfall.
      • Zoro and Sanji arrive Just in Time to prevent little girl Toko getting riddled with bullets by Shogun Orochi.
      • According to Momonosuke, his sister Hiyori would often greet him with a flying kick to the face. Oden's flashback shows this happening as a Funny Background Event.
  • In Episode 3 of Ouran High School Host Club, Tamaki does this to a guy dressed as a doctor whom everyone assumes is a pervert. In the Manga though, it is Honey who pulls this off.
  • Outlaw Star: after an episode full of a thief masquerading as a terrorist talking down to Gene and acting like an Insufferable Genius while robbing a jewelry shop on a space station, Gene gets back at him . . . by crashing his ship into the space station right in front of where the criminal is standing, and jumping out of the ship just to punch the criminal so hard his teeth are knocked out!
  • Pokémon: The Series:
    • In Pokémon: Advanced Battle episode At the End of the Fray (AG131), Team Rocket was working for a guy who was able to do this...by PUNCHING THROUGH THE WALL.
    • Brock first appears in Advanced Generation by throwing Forretress (using Explosion as soon as he was released) at a flock of Taillow that was menacing Ash, May and Max.
    • Pokémon the Series: Black & White: Once Ash and the gang enter Pinwheel Forest, a Sewaddle appears out of nowhere, kicks Pikachu to the ground, Bug Bites him, and uses String Shot on Ash. Ash, of course, thinks that Sewaddle is cool, and ends up catching him.
  • In Pretty Cure All Stars DX 1, Honoka and Nagisa give one by rescuing three of the Yes Precure 5 Go Go members by jumping straight up, kicking an airliner monster in the gut, making it crumple over in pain!
  • Ranma ½: Shampoo's usual entry into a scene is to crash through a wall, running over someone with her bicycle while saying "Nihao." Ryoga also doesn't care much for using doors.
  • Done spectacularly well at the end of Volume 34 of Rave Master (Groove Adventure RAVE) when Haru comes crashing through a stone wall to kick Lucia in the face just before he can execute Elie. And then he screams "BRING IT!!!" in an extreme close-up. (The effect is slightly lessened if you realize Hiro Mashima copied the shot WHOLE from an early chapter of Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-.)
  • Rebuild World:
    • When all hope seems lost for Akira and Katsuragi's caravan, Sara and Elena burst onto the scene in a jeep, guns blazing. Their highly explosive Abnormal Ammo blasts a massive hole in the incoming monster army, and they soon clean up shop.
    • Just when Akira seems to have gotten in the clear after a massive battle, he has his first encounter with Yanigisawa, pouncing on him from having been hiding in Chameleon Camouflage, palm-striking Akira off the roof of his vehicle, and holding a gun between his eyes to interrogate him about a fugutive Akira's been known to be in contact with.
  • A variation: in Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas, Manigoldo introduces himself to Hypnos and Thanatos by suddenly appearing out of nowhere and kicking the chessboard they were playing with across the room.
  • The first appearance of Humongous Mecha Robeast Daiku Maryu in Gaiking: Legend of Daiku Maryu has it jump out of the ocean, bite deeply into an Armoured Beast's neck, and send another flying with its tail, all in one manouevre.
  • Earlier on in Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei, Maria had a habit of delivering flying kicks, generally to Nozomu, because she couldn't distinguish things she saw on television from reality. In one instance, Harumi attacks Chiri with a dynamic entry kick after Chiri insults her manga.
  • Ryoma's entry in the Shin Getter Robo vs. Neo Getter Robo OVA, which involved jumping from the head of a 200 feet tall robot to dropkick a dinosaur in the face.
  • Suite Pretty Cure ♪: Hummy has a tendency to fall from the sky, all four legs spread out wide. she has shown the ability to do this even indoors in areas where there is no logical way for her to have gotten where she's falling from.
  • In Sword Art Online, Asuna pulls this/Big Damn Heroes, running into the fight slightly faster than the game's speed cap, and knocks the player-killer who had paralyzed and had been tormenting Kirito into a wall. And yes, she does manage to save Kirito's life.
  • Kamina's "WHO-THE-HELL-DO-YOU-THINK-I-AM KICK" from Episode 2 of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
    • It was so hard, in fact, that it broke the legs of the Gunmen he was riding in.
    • He also immediately chains it into the "HANDS-OFF-MY-BELOVED-LITTLE-BROTHER-PUNCH!!!", which breaks the arm of the Gunmen he was riding in. It's a two-parter!
    • More spectacularly, Gurren Lagann's first-ever hyperspace jump in Episode 23. Simon uses the momentum to leap out of the robot, skid across a cavern and deliver a tooth-loosening "Let's see you GRIT THOSE TEETH!" punch to the suicidally remorseful Rossiu in the last second before the latter can shoot himself.
    • Yoko's introduction in the first chapter. She crashes through the ceiling while firing her huge rifle. Along with a freakin' Ganmen.
  • Arihiko of Tsukihime manages to compress the statement "Good morning, Shiki. I'm disappointed that you never told me you had a sister" into a running dropkick (and dismisses Shiki's insistence that this might have been a bit excessive).
