* In ''Literature/RebornAsAVendingMachineINowWanderTheDungeon'', the main character not only [[InvokedTrope invokes this trope]], but weaponizes it. Unable to communicate with his friends that it would be dangerous to fight the giant skeleton they trapped in a hole, not because of the monster itself but because of the carbon dioxide the hole is filled with, a desperate and quick thinking Boxxo transforms into a vending machine that dispenses sexy magazines and quickly draws attention to himself. When Lammis sees this, she slaps him, her SuperStrength sending him flying into the air, where Boxxo transforms again into the heaviest, sturdiest vending machine he can, crushing the giant skeleton with ease.

* Justified in ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''. After Izuku Midoriya uses One For All for the first time, his legs and his right arm are both severely broken, and he begins falling to earth from jumping so high. Just before he hits the ground, Uraraka slaps Midoriya in the face, causing him to fly sideways. This was due to Uraraka's gravity control Quirk, which she needs touch to activate. Since Midoriya was falling so fast and there was no time to do anything else, this hard smack in the face was the only way to save him, as getting Midoriya in her Quirk's power allows Uraraka to float Midoriya gently back down for the remaining few feet.

* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': Even though it is not necessarily a punch (at least most of the time), Team Rocket always ends up flying into orbit by Pikachu's Thunderbolt (Team Rocket's blasting off agaaaaaaaain!...*[[ATwinkleInTheSky ting!]]*), even if the attacks that sent them weren't necessarily that powerful.

* ''Manga/BootyRoyaleNeverGoDownWithoutAFight'':
** Main character Haebaru Misora's fists are as hard as rocks and she can drop men twice her size with a straight jab, as she demonstrates abundantly in a hundred-man kumite in the first arc.
** Veronica Lin's punches can blow people across the room with ease. Getting into a slugging match with her is likened to trying to fistfight a tractor trailer, as Elena Silva learns the hard way.
** Nosaka Nagisa exchanges punches for slaps, since striking with a closed fist isn't allowed in her primary art of SumoWrestling. A slap to the face from her can [[TapOnTheHead knock a person unconscious on the spot]], by which means she became the only person in the entire series so far to actually defeat Misora in a fair fight in chapter 52.

** But by far, the most devastating punch out of all of the rest is Genji Kamogawa's Tekken punches. They're so powerful that they could lift Sergeant Ralph Anderson, a much taller and heavier opponent, ''midair and horizontally'' (to put that into perspective, Anderson is 30 pounds heavier than Kamogawa). And Kamogawa lets off ''two'' of them, shattering both his fists in the process, though that's nothing in comparison to Anderson's completely shattered ribs.

* ''Manga/HajimeNoIppo'': Boy, are there lots.
** For starters, Ippo's dempsey roll manages to combine this trope with RapidFireFisticuffs, throwing powerful hooks at an incredibly fast rate.
** Ippo's Gazelle Punch, and to a lesser extent, Aoki's Frog Punch. Both of these moves use kicking off the canvas to generate power into the punch, which can easily knock someone down, if not out.
** Ippo also once slapped Taihei [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom so hard he goes flying 15 feet away]], also slapping away [[LaserGuidedAmnesia all memory of getting hit in the first place]].
** Takamura, being [[TheBigGuy absurdly huge for a Japanese man]], can seriously mess someone up with a right straight.
** Miyata's jolt counter uses both his own weight and his opponent's for maximum damage; First time he used it against Jimmy Sisphar, Jimmy was laid out cold in a puddle of his own blood.

** On Luffy's side, during the Enies Lobby arc, he revealed his ability Gear Third which focuses on enlarging the bones in his limbs to increase the mass and power of his attacks, but sacrifices speed. Though it was used successfully in tandem with Gear Second to defeat Rob Lucci, afterwards Luffy reserved the usage of it for enemies that couldn't move fast enough to avoid his attacks. Post-timeskip, with two years of training, Luffy becomes able to use Gear Third without giving up speed thus negating its weaknesses. The culmination of Gear Third, combined with advanced forms of Armament Haki, allowed Luffy to knock down and ''injure'' the Yonko Kaido who until then was able to NoSell everything Luffy threw at him, ''including Gear Fourth''.
** [[OurGiantsAreBigger Hajrudin]] manages to defeat [[FatBastard Machvise]] in Dressrosa by uppercutting him with every ounce of strength he had left, sending him flying into [[ArcVillain Doflamingo's]] [[RazorFloss Birdcage]]. For added bonus points, Machvise was attempting to [[BellyFlopCrushing crush]] Hajrudin while [[GravityMaster weighing]] ''10,000 tons'' at the time.

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': [[TheLadette Kukaku Shiba]], when Ichigo and Ganju [[DisproportionateRetribution broke her pipe]] while fighting. With a bit of PlayingWithFire and GroundPound in it to boot.
* PlayedForLaughs in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' when Krillin asks Goku to punch him so he can get a sense of how strong he had gotten. After confirming multiple times that [[MyGodYouAreSerious he REALLY wants this]], Goku obliges with a ''[[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength light punch]]'' that sends Krillin flying through a forest, knocking down multiple trees, through multiple houses, and into a mountain a long ways away.
* ''Anime/DuelMasters'':
** Rekuta. In the American dub, at least, he would be sent flying into the sky when he was so much as clipped by someone's bike.
** Though it would normally follow a cry of "TODOMEDA!" from Shobu.
* ''Anime/FZeroGPLegend'' provides an interesting subversion of this trope: [[spoiler:in a TakingYouWithMe HeroicSacrifice,]] Captain Falcon performs his signature attack, the Falcon Punch, on Black Shadow, [[spoiler:moments before the latter's Dark Reactor overloads,]] causing an explosion comparable in size to ''one-eighth'' of the galaxy. Due to the way the entire scene is framed, however, MemeticMutation often portrays the explosion as being caused by the Falcon Punch by removing all traces of context. [[LampshadeHanging Even the spoiler tags for this example do this.]]
* Subverted in ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic''. Chidori hits Sagara, then the camera suddenly changes to the sky with a big contrail. This gives the impression that Sagara himself just left the contrail while crossing the atmosphere.
* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': Any time Ed or Al says something stupid to [[BadassTeacher Izumi]] they ''will'' be sent flying.
* In ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'', the Nyan Nyan girls (Taiitsukun's assistants) often ended up in the receiving end of these when they seriously screwed up.
* ''[[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Higurashi Rei]]'': Happens in the 5th episode where Keiichi gets punched into [[UpToEleven intergalactic space]] by Rena. The following punches to the rest of the cast, while not as extreme, also fit this trope.
* In ''Manga/HunterXHunter'': Greed Island, Bisquit punches Killua this way whenever he makes a reference to her actual age.
%%* ''Anime/TheIdolMaster'': The Futami twins apply a punch on the Producer, calling it by name.
* In ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind'', the BigBad [[spoiler: Diavolo's stand]] King Crimson allows him to finish fights with ''one'' well-aimed punch, which is usually fatal, unlike most heroes and villains using RapidFireFisticuffs. Just ask [[spoiler: Bruno, Abbacchio and Spice Girl]].
* ''Manga/LoveHina'' often used surprisingly-involved animation for these. Its frequent use by Naru Narusegawa means this trope is also sometimes known as the "Naru Punch". Again, didn't happen as often or as dramatically in the manga, but much more frequently than in ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''.
** In the first episode, Naru somehow manages to deliver the Megaton Punch... ''from the ground-level hot spring, up to the balcony where Keitaro was standing, two floors up, without her feet leaving the ground''. As he flies off, Keitaro [[LampshadeHanging begs to know how she reached that far]].
** In the manga Motoko does a literal HomeRunHitter, so mangaverse Naru's Megaton Punches might be literal as well.
** Then there's the scene where a nerd-disguised Naru punches Keitaro [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom through a corridor]] with him [[PinballGag bouncing off the walls and one doorframe]] (while every bystander just watches and stares without getting bowled over by him) before coming to a smashing halt at a closed door, one of many scenes that earned Keitaro his reputation of being ''[[MadeOfIron immortal]]''.
* In ''Anime/MagicalProjectS'', Ramia frequently does this to her little brother Rumiya to send him to Earth.
* ''Manga/MyBrideIsAMermaid'' has San's "Mermaid Voice", which isn't a literal punch but functions the same way.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** In the anime version, Sakura does this to Naruto in Shippuuden when he's being particularly perverted. In one omake, she punches him so hard that Kakashi states that [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall she got a new distance record]], which is ''387 meters (nearly 1300 feet)''. {{Justified}} in that she has [[EnhancedPunch chakra-augmented punches]].
** In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', Tsunade can do this with a flick from her finger.
* The "Naru Punch" makes a cameo in Creator/KenAkamatsu's other work ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', following a ThanksForTheMammary moment during Asuna's practice date with aged-up Negi.
** Asuna also delivers a Megaton Punch to Jack Rakan, knocking him off of a FloatingContinent. He [[NighInvulnerable reappears right behind her, completely unharmed.]] [[RuleOfFunny Somehow.]]
** It turns out that Negi's mother [[spoiler:Princess Arika]] did this a lot to Nagi.
** Anya also did these several times to Negi... until he decided not to let her and reality ensued, showing him to be ''far'' too strong for her to be able to hit him otherwise.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'': Luffy often receives these sorts of blows from his crew in reaction to his stupidity. A reader pointed out that Luffy's rubber body should make such a thing impossible, and WordOfGod claimed the damage was more [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum emotional than physical]]. Then later on Garp appeared and struck Luffy, claiming a Fist of Love can't be blocked.
* ''Manga/OnePunchMan'': Saitama often pulls these off when he's ''holding back more than ever'' to avoid killing a person. It's either smacking them to the ground so hard they leave their grin imprinted in the concrete, sending them flying into the sky, two with one punch, or simply sending them halfway through town. Again, this is when he holds back a ''lot'': Any less, and SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome in a rain of LudicrousGibs.
* This also happens in ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'', in the episode, Catfight Club, when he tells the Anarchy sisters to get along, they reply by just punching him in the face, giving him a nosebleed and resulting in him falling to the ground.
* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': Even though it is not necessarily a punch (at least most of the time), Team Rocket always ends up flying into orbit by Pikachu's Thunderbolt (Team Rocket's blasting off agaaaaaaaain!...*[[ATwinkleInTheSky ting!]]*), even if the attacks that sent them weren't necessarily that powerful.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'':
** Akane Tendo (and most of the other female martial artists) in the anime adaptation. Not so much in the manga, but then the anime tended to exaggerate ''everything''.
** Also, Megaton Kicks are just as common as Megaton Punches. Sometimes the target even has time to muse on the current state of affairs and smooth out their clothing while sailing peacefully through the air.
* ''Anime/SaberMarionetteJ'': Lime and the other marionettes frequently belt their annoying neighbor so hard he [[ATwinkleInTheSky vanishes into the distance.]]
* In ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'', especially in the Heroes expansion, Takeda Shingen pulls this off and sent Sanada Yukimura flying. ''"OYAKATA-SAMAAAAA!!!!!"''
** In the anime adaptation, he did it again to Fuuma Kotarou, but since the way to the sky was obstructed by a castle, he crashed there, leaving quite a hole. Also later, his Megaton Punch catches [[PlayingWithFire on fire]] and turns Hojo Ujimasa into a [[{{Pun}} twinkle in the ash]].
* ''Manga/SoulEater'':
** [[spoiler:Maka receives one from Black*Star of all people.]] It ''was'' her suggestion, in order to make up after arguing with him, thus making it an inverted example.
** Though it's technically a chop, not a punch, [[GrimReaper Shinigami-sama's]] SHINIGAMI CHOP always leaves a huge bump on someone's head... and a crater in the ground [[LetsGetDangerous when he's serious]]
** Maka herself often dishes these out as well, albeit using a book. "MAKA CHOP!"
* Ran from ''Manga/SuperGals'' does this a number of times to multiple characters when the fights are comical.
* ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'': One episode of ''Tenchi in Tokyo'' featured Amagasaki continually trying to talk to Tenchi and Sakuya, only to be attacked by the spirit of a female wrestler. While the wrestler used a different move every time, the result was always the same shot of Amagasaki flying off into the distant city, even when he was ''inside''.
* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'': The Arc-Gurren Lagann's Burst Spinning Punch punches the target so hard they ''hit nothing'', and shatter it, before being sent to the other end of space-time.
%%** When Simon is about to get crushed by two enemy Gunmen in episode two, after a DynamicEntry DivingKick, Kamina proceeds to give the two a punch.
%%---> '''Kamina''': HANDS-OFF-MY-BELOVED-LITTLE-BROTHER-PUUUUUUNCH!!!
* In ''Manga/TonaGura'', both Kazuki Arisaka and Marie Kagura, albeit through use of her paint-ball gun, can knock Yuuji Kagura clean across a room. Very very rarely, he can even become ATwinkleInTheSky. Subverted at least once, when Marie was about to punish GenkiGirl Nina Isokawa. Yuuji effortlessly disarms her, and only gives her weaponry back when he shames his younger sister into attacking only him. FridgeLogic or RuleOfFunny? You decide.
