Basic Trope: A previously unseen character makes himself known with a dramatic attack.

• Straight: Emperor Evulz has overwhelmed Bob, who laid battered on the ground. Evulz raised his sword to deal the final strike, when suddenly Alice crashed from the window and delivered a kick to Evulz' face with much gusto.
• Exaggerated:
  • Alice's kick made Evulz' head explode into leaky visceral bits of brain-matters, blood, and bone-pieces.
  • Alice jumped through space time riding on a whale just to deliver this kick, and the surrounding environment doesn't fare well.
• Downplayed: Alice enters a room by slamming the door open, accidentally hitting Bob.
• Justified: Alice is masterful in using the element of surprise.
• Inverted:
  • After he overwhelmed Bob, Evulz threw a force-bolt to Alice, who was hiding and waiting for a chance to snipe him.
  • A character uses a powerful attack move that also results in them leaving the scene.
• Subverted: Alice crashed in with a kick, and Evulz promptly dodged.
• Double Subverted: But Alice did an impossible kung-fu maneuver, and kick him with her other feet. Bet he didn't see that one coming.
• Parodied: Alice uses the Dynamic Entry every time she enters a room or building, even in everyday normal life.
• Zig Zagged: Alice crashed in with a kick, which Evulz dodged. She tried to restart her attack with her other feet, but missed or was also dodged.
• Averted:
  • All the True Companions fought Evulz at the same time.
  • A character enters a room in a normal way.
• Enforced: Deus ex Machina.
• Lampshaded:
  Bob: "Oh wow, even I didn't see that one coming."
• Invoked: ???
• Exploited: EVERY. SINGLE. ATTACK.
• Defied: Alice had a sniper rifle next to her and could see Evulz through the window.
• Discussed: "Man, Alice really likes breaking through things to deliver a kick."
• Conversed: "She came out of nowhere! Why didn't she attack before?"
