A trope found mostly in literature, this is the description of every move in a fight with ''excruciating'' detail. This is often used to demonstrate AwesomenessByAnalysis or HyperAwareness, especially if the narration is from the perspective of one of the combatants.

Frequently overlaps with DiagnosisFromDrBadass, in which a combatant enumerates on the injuries they or their opponent have sustained.

A trope found mostly in literature, this is the description of a fight in excruciating medical detail -- as the fight is going on. Often the case if narrated by a combatant capable of AwesomenessByAnalysis. However, it can easily come off as simply annoying or unnecessary. Occasionally, it can be parodied. Compare CuckoolanderCommentator, with which the trope can share some traits.

* ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'' has this happen typically when [[DependingOnTheWriter Karl Bollers is the one writing the story]]. In particular, when Sonic transforms into Ultra Sonic, the comic shifts into being a NoDialogueEpisode, opting for the narration to explain what's going on in extreme detail.

* In ''Film/CharliesAngels2000'', one of the Angels is captured by the BigBad and tied to a chair. She manages to free her legs and then spends the next few seconds describing in detail how she's going to kick the {{Mook}}s' asses before "moonwalking out of there". The fight goes exactly as she described, except for the last part, because what she does can in no way be described as a moonwalk (doesn't matter if a Music/MichaelJackson song is playing in the background).
** Bonus points for trying to burn the ropes tying her hands while talking to the mooks. Her lighter fails. "And, as my trusty zippo is not working, I'll do it with my hands tied". She does.

* A common trope of stories aimed at the young male demographic, many super-powered kung-fu series make use of this extensively. Current prime offenders include such titles as Manga/{{Naruto}} and Manga/{{Bleach}}. Any given detail over the local form of [[MyKungFuIsStrongerThanYours magical kung-fu]] can take up entire chapters at a time. Coincidentally, this also helps to extend the life of the series with entire fight-explanation-chapters.

* ''Fanfic/PokemonMaster'' is written by an author who is very fond of flowery narration and detailed descriptions. This extends also to fights: every single blow, every elemental attack... in every fight are described in great detail.

* This happens a few times InUniverse within ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', where characters themselves serve as the battle narrators whilst their words get filtered out into an echo chamber. Notable examples include Robert E.O. Speedwagon, out of desperation for wanting to see [[HeterosexualLifePartners Jonathan come out of his battles safely]], and Hayato Kawajiri, out of [[TheParanoiac being a scared child]].

** In the sequel, ''Film/SherlockHolmesAGameOfShadows'', Holmes does this to an assassin, using metaphors for preparing omlettes to describe how he's beating the piss out of his opponent, i.e. [[GroinAttack "break the eggs"]]. [[spoiler:Sim interrupts the fight a quarter of the way through with a thrown knife.]] At the climax of the film, [[spoiler:Holmes and Moriarty do this with an entire brawl ''in their minds'', figuring out who is going to win by simply analyzing each other. It's clear that Sherlock would lose because of his hobbling shoulder injury that Moriarty inflicted on him earlier... except, like the [[InvoluntaryCharityDonation theft of Moriarty's war chest]] and simultaneous SurpriseCheckmate he detailed earlier to his nemesis... it was all a bait for Moriarty's arrogance to occlude the HeroicSacrifice that Holmes was ''really'' planning.]]

* ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'', episode "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17CLlZuiBkQ Batman Vs. Sherlock Holmes]]": Sherlock's final verse is a parody of the trope quote.
--> '''Sherlock Holmes:''' [''thinking''] This mustn't register on an emotional level... First, exploit childhood tragedy... then gesture with pipe... Watson finishes punchline... next, acknowledge compliment. Conclude with killer catchphrase....\\
[''out loud''] I believe your parent's homicide is why you mask your face\\
You're shamed and traumatized and haunted by the vast disgrace\\
Of watching like a passive waste as momma died and daddy was dispatched with haste!
--> '''John Watson:''' Holmes, you've cracked the case!
--> '''Sherlock Holmes:''' You're a bat shit crazy basket case!
--> '''John Watson:''' Bloody good rhymes!
--> '''Sherlock Holmes:''' I've got tonnes! Dissing these dynamic douchebags was... elementary, my dear Watson.
