Basic Trope: A previously unseen character makes himself known with a dramatic attack.
- Straight: Emperor Evulz has overwhelmed Bob, who laid battered on the ground. Evulz raised his sword to deal the final strike, when suddenly Alice crashed from the window and delivered a kick to Evulz' face with much gusto.
- Exaggerated:
- Alice's kick made Evulz' head explode into leaky visceral bits of brain-matters, blood, and bone-pieces.
- Alice jumped through space time riding on a whale just to deliver this kick, and the surrounding environment doesn't fare well.
- Alice makes her presence known by calling down a huge meteor to strike Emperor Evulz's castle.
- Downplayed: Alice enters a room by slamming the door open, accidentally hitting Bob.
- Justified: Alice is masterful in using the element of surprise.
- Inverted:
- After he overwhelmed Bob, Evulz threw a force-bolt to Alice, who was hiding and waiting for a chance to snipe him.
- A character uses a powerful attack move that also results in them leaving the scene.
- Subverted: Alice crashed in with a kick, and Evulz promptly dodged.
- Double Subverted: But Alice did an impossible kung-fu maneuver, and kicked him with her other foot. Bet he didn't see that one coming.
- Parodied:
- Alice uses the Dynamic Entry every time she enters a room or building, even in everyday normal life.
- Alice tries an awesome diving kick for her entrance... and misses it completely, ending up flying behind Evulz and crashing indignantly into the floor.
- Zig Zagged: Alice crashed in with a kick, which Evulz dodged. She tried to restart her attack with her other feet, but missed or was also dodged.
- Averted:
- All the True Companions fought Evulz at the same time.
- A character enters a room in a normal way.
- Enforced: Deus ex Machina.
- Lampshaded:Bob: "Oh wow, even I didn't see that one coming."
- Invoked: Alice waited until the final moment because attacking then would be the least predictable outcome for Evulz.
- Exploited:
- Pretty much done as is.
- Evulz knows Alice will try this, and counters just as she bursts through the window.
- Defied: Alice had a sniper rifle next to her and could see Evulz through the window.
- Discussed: "Man, Alice really likes breaking through things to deliver a kick."
- Conversed: "She came out of nowhere! Why didn't she attack before?"
- Implied: Alice is shown breaking into a building. A second later, it zooms into the building and a mook is shown knocked out next to her.
- Deconstructed: Evulz has predicted an unexpected attack and closed the battle with Bob inside a barrier.
- Reconstructed: Alice has secretly developed a technique that can break through the barrier. She strikes Evulz while the latter thinks they are now safe from ambushes.
- Plotted A Good Waste: A villain is bigged up to set the tone for the arc, and is defeated in a single kick from behind by Alice, creating a humorous anticlimax.
- Played For Laughs:Alice: "Flying kick!"Evulz: "Flying what?!"*POW!*
- Played For Drama: A hero's celebration is brutally ended after a villain strikes from nowhere and kills one of them, leaving the remainder in shock for a few moments while the villain presses the attack.
- Played For Horror: Alice's Dynamic Entry is used as a Jump Scare.
Suddenly, a link back to Dynamic Entry!
