1 | '''Basic Trope''': No matter how many blows the hero delivers to the villain, he seems unharmed. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Bob, our hero, is punching David, our villain, with great power, but David seems unimpressed, even amused. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Even with the most powerful KiManipulation and {{Dangerous Forbidden Technique}}s, David, unharmed, says it ''tickles''. |
5 | ** After Bob's punches fail, David punches Bob, realizing that it had as little effect as on him. |
6 | ** A [[SemperFi bunch of hardcore Marines]], [[MoreDakka heavily armed]], open fire on [[AGodAmI David the Demigod]], who either blocks it with an energy shield or is just plain NighInvulnerable. Cue David powering up a KiManipulation [[OhCrap now that the Marines have emptied their clips]]... |
7 | ** Bob's punches hurt himself far more than David, [[WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing who wins the fight by just standing there.]] |
8 | * '''Downplayed''': Dave is clearly hurting from the repeated blows, but he remains standing and is easily able to win the fight. |
9 | * '''Justified''': |
10 | ** David is MadeOfIron, or perhaps [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction trained to ignore pain]], or perhaps he's just ''[[AxCrazy flippin' insane]]''. |
11 | ** Bob is extremely weak and stupidly overconfident. |
12 | * '''Inverted''': |
13 | ** Bob attacks David [[WillfullyWeak with ridiculously weak punches]], [[MinorInjuryOverreaction which David succumbs to as if he were given deadly blows]]. |
14 | ** Bob tries to attack [[FragileSpeedster Dave]] who dodges his blows easily. |
15 | * '''Subverted''': |
16 | ** David seemingly shows no pain from those body blows of Bob's as [[NowItsMyTurn he's about to attack back]], but then he [[YouAreAlreadyDead suddenly collapses from ruptured guts.]] |
17 | ** Bob punches David with great power, then quickly realizing that it's not going to work. He then pokes David's eyes out before David could punch back. |
18 | ** Bob was delivering a TouchOfDeath with a delayed effect. Dave's chuckles are cut off as he suddenly keels over and dies. |
19 | * '''Double Subverted''': David's faking the severity of his wounds to trick Bob into ceasing the attack, and then he'll give him an ultimatum. |
20 | * '''Parodied''': Bob practically ''kills'' David, but he comes back to life and says "Gotcha!". |
21 | * '''Zig Zagged''': |
22 | ** Both Bob ''and'' David can't hurt each other, and settle for more and more over the top attacks that do little more than destroy the scenery. |
23 | ** David is completely unhurt...[[ClothingDamage But his wardrobe is destroyed.]] [[DefeatByModesty He sheepishly leaves to get some pants]] and Bob claims victory. |
24 | * '''Averted''': David is hurt by Bob's attacks. |
25 | * '''Enforced''': "We need to show that the villain is a threat. Let's have him withstand any of Bob's attacks." |
26 | * '''Lampshaded''': Bob: "Oh ''hell!'' That was my most powerful attack, and he just ''brushes it off!''" |
27 | * '''Invoked''': Bob expects David to show no pain [[HowMuchMoreCanHeTake so he can continue to thrash him]]. |
28 | * '''Exploited''': David pretends Bob's blows have no effect on him so Bob will be demoralized and stop punching him. |
29 | * '''Defied''': Bob keeps punching David until he's good and hurt. |
30 | * '''Discussed''': Bob: "I'm gonna have to use better attacks, I hear David's impervious to pain." |
31 | * '''Conversed''': "The villain's never hurt by stuff like that, he'll just wipe the floor with the hero afterwards." |
32 | * '''Deconstructed''': |
33 | ** David takes the punches without flinching, but is later shown to have suffered severe internal damage offscreen. |
34 | ** Bob notices David isn't being hurt, and flees at the earliest opportunity. He comes back with a chainsaw. |
35 | * '''Reconstructed''': |
36 | ** David ''does'' get hurt by Bob, but shows {{Determinator}} level willpower and turns the fight around. |
37 | ** Dave is not only tough but fast, he chases down Bob before he can get a weapon. |
38 | * '''Played For Laughs''': David looks at Bob with pity (or boredom) and offers him boxing lessons. Bob wearily accepts. |
