* Invoked in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', if you get the Fierce Deity's Mask. It can only be used in boss battles, and the first time you get it is right before you face [[FinalBoss Majora]]; the Fierce Deity himself has warpaint on his cheekbones and forehead. Link putting on the mask is pretty much as close as a Zelda game gets to this trope.

* ''WesternAnimation/AThousandAndOneAmericas'': Subverted in the twenty-third episode. Chris witnesses some Xingu natives painting some parts of their bodies with round black stains, and Chris believes this is because they're preparing for a battle; one of them is even calling Lon so he gets some black marks as well. But Chris is later told that they're actually preparing for a festive dance that is used for varied purposes like honoring a fallen chief, sealing friendships with other tribes, or performing weddings. A sumo-styled fight does take place, but it's part of the ceremony.
