** Speaking of Strange, an oft-recounted example is his duel with a demon-empowered Grindelwald in 1945, which leveled Berlin and left the EvilSorcerer depowered enough for Dumbledore to deal with... and which Strange walked away from whistling.

** After the Disir [[spoiler: kidnapped Harry, Uhtred, and Diana]], Strange was...displeased. How did he show this? He captured them, restored their consciences, and trapped them in a crystal ball for as long as he pleases, to be haunted by the specters of their victims. These, by the way, were 13 monsters that a ''Skyfather at the height of his power'' could only exile.

* In ''Fanfic/TheVerySecretDiary'', this is {{inverted}}, or something like that. The fic is, essentially, a LowerDeckEpisode to ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets'', showing Ginny's correspondence with Tom Riddle (which we knew happened in the book, but didn't get to see). So in the context of canon, Ginny fighting back and interfering with Tom's plans happen "offscreen"... but in the context of the fic, we get a front-row seat. One good example is the moment when the fic officially collides with canon -- the one time Harry wrote in the diary. In the book, we just know that someone (later revealed to be Ginny) tried to flush the diary down the toilet for some reason, before Harry found it and wrote in it. In the fic, an entry has Tom threatening to force Ginny to commit mass homicide, terrorizing and taunting her... before the entry abruptly ends. The next entry begins with the canonical line, "My name is Harry Potter," and the line, "Someone tried to flush it down a toilet" becomes a WhamLine, revealing to the reader that ''this'' is when Ginny tried to dispose of the diary, and while she wasn't able to destroy it, she ''did'' [[ShutUpHannibal manage to prevent a massive tragedy]].

** Just prior to the fight in the Red Room base in Chapter 10 of ''Ghosts'', Wanda and Dresden were involved in fighting off a bunch of especially tentacular demons in Japan, after a bunch of {{Otaku}} used the wrong book of magic in the wrong place at the wrong time. The results were, apparently, very messy, as were Dresden's unspeakable jokes about sushi and Japanese pornography. It also, apparently, resulted in a lot of gunk in Wanda's hair, much to her displeasure.

* Fight scenes ''Manga/ReTake'' mostly occur off-screen. This includes Shinji, having knowledge of the future, disables Unit-03 without killing the pilot, and is stated to have broken all of its limbs. In the story's climax, Shinji's fight with the Mass Production Evas, most notably after [[ItMakesSenseInContext Ghost Asuka finally decides to help him and they take the Lance of Longious]]. We get an OhCrap reaction from SELEE saying they're finished and the Unit-01 is going to kill their Evas and we get seen afterwards indicating that Shinji and Asuka took them down easily, but we don't get to see the fight.
