History Main / CrossCounter

* In ''HighSchoolDXD'', Issei and Raiser pull this off in their one on one fight at the final episode of the anime/volume 2 of the light novel. Issei puked blood out of his mouth but Raiser didn't until a few moments later, shocking him in disbelief because he's a phoenix who can heal through any damage right away. Until he sees how CrazyPrepared Issei is for such an occasion.

* There's a three-way CrossCounter in the ''[[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]]'' cartoon "TheDoverBoys," as the three main characters try to punch out the villain, who faints at the last moment.

* In the ''Ultraman Dyna'' series, Dyna faces off with Imitation Dyna and their battle ends in this fashion. [[spoiler: Dyna was able to avoid his copy's punch while Imitation Dyna's face literally shattered.]]

** Happens in much more visceral detail when Peter and [[TheSimpsons/Homer]] get into an epic fight that damn near destroys Springfield!

* In ''{{Naruto}}'', this is how the fight between Sakura and Ino ends in the Chuunin Exam arc.

** Much later, [[spoiler:one occurs between Naruto and one of Pain's bodies, although both avoid direct blows, which is good for Naruto as he avoids getting stabbed in the face and is able to blow the body away using the sheer natural energy from his [[SuperMode Sage Mode]]]].

* The big knock-down-drag-out super brawl between Revy and Roberta of ''BlackLagoon'' ends with one of these.

* Happens at the end of Revy and Roberta's brawl in volume 1 of ''BlackLagoon''. [[DoubleKnockout They both collapse.]]

** This scene was parodied in ''FamilyGuy''.
* ''Film/TheMatrix Revolutions'' features this in the very start of the final battle between Neo and Smith.

** One of the {{Quick Time Event}}s in VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance when fighting the final boss ends in one, although there's no outcome where both the boss and Raiden get hit: if you succeed in the QTE, Raiden evades the boss' punch at the last second and if you fail, he gets hit before his fist connects with the boss' face.

* In ''MadWorld'' with the power struggle between Jack [[spoiler:and the Black Baron]], trading a jab, an uppercut and a ''headbutt''. If Jack wins, he ends with a hammer fist with both hands, while if [[spoiler: the Black Baron]] wins, he lets loose a SingleStrokeBattle of RapidFireFisticuffs with ''explosive punches''.

* The CatFight episode of ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' ended with a still frame of Huntress and Black Canary delivering a flying kick to one another.
* Happens in an episode of ''FamilyGuy'' during a fight between Peter and Ernie the Giant Chicken. Neither one is knocked out, though.
* And again in the episode where Cleveland and Loretta split up, but with Cleveland and Quagmire (in a direct nod to the Rocky III ending)
* Dexter and Mandark in one episode of WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory.
* In ''{{Futurama}}'', when [[ActionGirl Leela-A]] and [[MirrorUniverse Leela-1]] attack each other [[FearfulSymmetry in a perfectly symmetric way]], they collide their foreheads and both are knocked out.

* ''AshitaNoJoe'' (''Tomorrow's Joe'') with special lighting and everything.

* ''RobotCombatLeague'': Crash vs Steel Cyclone had one of these as the climax, which ended in some nasty damage for both, though it was Cyclone that had the worst part, getting its arm wrecked.

** ''VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice'' has it as a Nekomata support ability. It increases counterattack damage by 50%.

** ''{{Disgaea}} 3'' has it as a Nekomata support ability. It increases counterattack damage by 50%.

* DigimonSavers episode 34 [[http://youtu.be/CrHdXHdVJ8w?t=6m1s has one between Thoma and Masaru.]] Note that [[SubvertedTrope Thoma actually does it properly]] {by avoiding Masaru's original attack), which makes sense [[FridgeBrilliance since he's trained boxer]]. Unfortunately, Masaru just ignores the large fist in his face and hits Thoma anyway.

* In ''KamenRiderDouble''[='s=] [[TheMovie Movie]], Shotaro (as Kamen Rider Joker) does this to one of the FiveBadBand. However, because Shotaro's punch was a FinishingMove, he came out on top.

* Played for laughs in an esrly chapter of ''Manga/ShamanKing'', when Anna summons the spirit of swordsmith Mosuke into Ryu's body so he can fix Amidamaru's broken sword. At first, Mosuke is pissed at the fact that his handiwork's been damaged and rushes at Amidamaru (in Yoh's body), who also attacks him with the excuse that his old friend hadn't talked to him in about 400 years. They (Ryu and Yoh, technically) then do this to each other, before the spirits they're hosting smile and greet each other properly.

* Happened in episode 71 of the MonsterRancher anime, ending the fight between Mocchi and Most in a tournament. Most, a more experienced fighter, was still standing, but Mocchi was knocked out, leaving Most the winner. Keep in mind this had followed a fight that had lasted the entire day.
