Deadly Dodging in Anime and Manga.
- In the third episode of Black Lagoon, Dutch takes out two ships of the fleet of pirates sent after the crew by a disgruntled client when they incompetently attempt a pincer attack on the titular ship by letting off speed and letting the two annihilate each other with their own guns. Revy then proceeds to take out the rest of the pirate fleet singlehandedly.
- Gin uses the Innocent Bystander variety of this in Bleach.Gin: Are you sure you want to dodge that?
- Blue Gender: In The Warrior, Marlene kills two Maneaters (praying mantis-esque Blue) by evading their attacks and causing one of them to impale the other. She skewers the second one with her bayonet at the same time.
- Darker than Black gives a lovely demonstration of why, if you're going to try to attack a waiter in a restaurant, it'd be a good idea not to go after the one who's an undercover hitman for an international crime syndicate. Because he is undercover, Hei tries to act like he doesn't know what he's doing, but after the guy attacking him crashes into several pieces of furniture and a few people in a vain attempt to hit him, an onlooker comes to the conclusion that "It's true all Chinese people are martial arts masters."
- Dragon Ball:
- Goku faces a Bruce Lee Clone in a street fight. The man attempts a diving knee drop, but Goku moves out of the way and the man injures his knee when it impacts the sidewalk.
- Goku has pulled this off on homing projectiles twice. He pulls it off without a hitch against Piccolo, but Frieza's much too smart to fall for that in Dragon Ball Z. The first two times anyway.
- Goku tricks Jeice and Burter into hitting each other.
- Shown in the first opening for Durarara!!. Shizuo chucks a vending machine at Izaya's head. Izaya just ducks out of the way and lets it knock the cap off of a high-pressure water main, slamming Shizuo into a wall while he makes his getaway.
- Future Diary: When he witnesses the death of his father, Yukiteru snaps and uses his diary to deadly effect, making sure that there is someone between him and the next person to fire.
- Girls und Panzer. In the finale, Rabbit Team attempts to escape a Jagdtiger by doing a hard right as they emerged from an alley, causing it to crash into a storm drain. Unfortunately, the Rabbits are still disabled, making it a Heroic Sacrifice.
- Donovan, minor villain from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency used his agility in combination with his cloak to trick Joseph into punching a cactus. Subverted, as Joseph filled said cactus with ripple, making it literally blow up in Donovan's face.
- Subverted in the final episode of Macross Frontier. The Battle Galaxy fires it's Wave-Motion Gun at the Macross Quarter which barely manages to dodge... causing the shot to miss and hit the Battle Frontier instead, destroying it's own Wave-Motion Gun. Subverted because the Battle Frontier and the Quarter are on the same side, making this accidental friendly fire.
- One Piece:
- In the Dressrosa arc, this is how the young gladiator Rebecca fights. She makes up for her relative lack of strength with a combination of Observation Haki and speed, using her opponents' strength against them to make them take each other out and/or throw them outside the ring.
- Carrot manages to do this during her Sulong transformation, by leaping between each of Daifuku's ships as he tried to strike her with his genie's massive halberd; all he achieves is consistently missing, and cutting his own ships in half one by one because he's too pissed to stop trying to hit her.
- In the first episode of Pacific Rim: The Black, Taylor and Hayley are backed up against a cliff in a weaponless jaeger with a Kaiju charging straight at them. The jaeger's AI tells them to hit the ground, and they dive just in time for the kaiju's momentum to send it over the cliff and into an apparently bottomless abyss.
- Pokémon Adventures: Cynthia's Garchomp tried to hit Cyrus's Magnezone with its Hyper Beam but ended up blasting a hole in the Celestic Ruins instead, allowing Cyrus to go inside.
- Ranma ½: The very basis of the Hiryuu Shoten Ha (Flying Dragon Ascension Wave) is based on dodging. The practitioner must goad the foe into a spiral pattern while making them discharge a hot Battle Aura, all while dodging the enemy attacks and keeping a cool aura (and a clear mind) oneself. Upon reaching the nexus, the martial artist winds up and delivers a spinning uppercut — not only does this final punch release the user's cold aura in a devastating blast, but the temperature difference between the hot and cold Battle Auras creates a localized tornado that tosses the enemy high into the air, usually knocking him out in the process (not that the fall is any picnic, either). Ranma, being the martial arts savant that he is, has modified the technique so he doesn't need an opponent to follow him in a spiral: having them release ki blasts, ignite the battlefield, or even just surround Ranma in a vaguely circular pattern is enough, and he'll do the rest. He MUST dodge the enemy's assault, however.
- Rebuild World: In one battle, after riding his Cool Bike into the air on its force field Improvised Platform paths to get out of an artillery encirclement, Akira dodges specifically to make the enemy artillery rounds hit the other forces on the ground. The enemy eventually change their formation to prevent this.
- Rurouni Kenshin:
- The title character defeats his opponent, who is just as fast but larger and stronger, by using Deadly Dodging until his opponent's body breaks under the stress. Yes, Kenshin ran circles around this guy until his legs broke.
- Possibly subverted early on in the manga; Kenshin deliberately doesn't dodge a bottle that was thrown at him, because it would have hit Kaoru.
- Sailor Moon:
- An accidental example when Mamoru hurls a rose at Kunzite. Kunzite dodges, but the rose hits his boyfriend Zoisite, who was standing behind him, in the face.
- The epilogue of the third season includes this in a fight between Sailor Moon and Uranus and Neptune. Usagi refuses to fight them, so she causes them to collide with each other, defeating themselves for her.
- In the Asgard arc of the Saint Seiya anime, Shiryu uses it on Fenrir, causing an avalanche to fall on his foe.
- In The Silent Service, this is one of Kaieda's techniques against enemy vessels. During one engagement, he makes a pursuing torpedo hit a ship by sailing under that ship's keel.
- Touhou Sangetsusei: During the finale of Visionary Fairies in Shrine, the fairies defeat themselves through Okina's well-timed dodging.
- Trigun: This is Vash the Stampede's modus operandi, displayed especially well in the first episode with a Giant Mook using a humongous bladed boomerang.
