There are a variety of reasons for this. The first is money: the producers might not have had enough money to ''actually'' film an epic battle, resulting in a FightUnscene. This might lead to an OffscreenMomentOfAwesome. On the other hand, if they care enough, they could combine this with the second reason: artistic quality. A big fight scene might not be that interesting or original - but deliberately ''not'' showing the fight, instead focusing on something mundane, that could be considered [[TrueArt art]]. But beware: this could lead to FauxSymbolism. There's also a third reason: perhaps the director did want a really violent and/or bloody battle, but the MoralGuardians objected too much. Or, if it's a cartoon, it could be due to the RuleOfFunny. Often, these are shown either through a BigBallOfViolence or zooming outside a building and showing it bounce and tumble around from the force of the battle.

* The first episode of ''Series/AmericanGods'' has Shadow rescued from a lynching from Technical Boy's minions, shown entirely through gratuitous [[LudicrousGibs showers of blood and body parts]]. A later episode shows it from the attacker's point of view.
* ''Series/BabylonFive'':
** "[[{{Recap/BabylonFiveS01E10Believers}} Believers]]" has Ivanova and a MauveShirt go out in Starfuries to escort a damaged passenger liner to the station. Ivanova pursues and destroys a Raider ship, then cue OhCrap as dozens more appear on her sensors, and ... cut back to the episode's main plot on the station. At the end of the episode she and the liner turn up at the station with enough damage to her fighter to put it in the shop for a week, and she basically laughs it off.
** In another episode, Marcus threatens [[BadGuyBar an entire bar]] with an ass-whooping unless someone tells him what he wants to know. It then cuts to commercial and, on return, we see Marcus knocking out the last guy standing, before lamenting that he now has to wait for one of his opponents to regain consciousness for questioning.
* A more mild example from ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'' when Starbuck's fighter malfunctions right before the first big battle and she listens to the first half of it over the radio before she can finish repairs and launch.
* ''Series/BetterCallSaul'': In "Talk", the Cousins storm a rival gang's headquarters on the spur of the moment, and the two of them [[CurbStompBattle easily mow down the dozens of people inside ]]. Most of the massacre is left to the audience's imagination though, as the scene is shown from Nacho's perspective, who stays outside the building, with only the sounds of shouting, gunfire, and fiery explosions letting the viewers know they're missing a truly awesome gunfight.
* ''Series/TheBrittasEmpire'': Occurs in "High Noon". We see Brittas run into a room being pursued by a truck driver that he has annoyed. The truck driver can be seen cracking his knuckles and then entering the room. When the camera next cuts to Brittas, he's seen leaving the room with a dumbbell stuffed up his back.

For example, Caesar's campaign against Magnus is represented with a few screaming soldiers and a Roman standard falling into a puddle. That's about five years of warfare, right there.

It then cuts to commercial and, on return, we see Marcus knocking out the last guy standing, before lamenting that he now has to wait for one of his opponents to regain consciousness for questioning.
* A more mild example from ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'' when Starbuck's fighter malfunctions right before the first big battle and she listens to the first half of it over the radio before she can finish repairs and launch.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS1E8TheReignOfTerror The Reign of Terror]]", the Doctor convinces the leader of the [[PressGanged press gang he's in]] that they're digging up gold coins. While the man scrabbles on the floor, back turned to the Doctor, the Doctor slowly takes a shovel from another of the gang members and readies it. We cut to the face of the man whose shovel the Doctor took as he looks on in confusion, before suddenly wincing in sympathetic agony. This was probably done because having the Doctor kill someone with a spade on screen would not be possible to [[PlayedForLaughs Play For Laughs]] - he's allowed to kill people on screen at dramatic moments, though.

Bud, who had fallen into the basement and didn't hear the warning, asks Al "What's up?" when he comes back upstairs.

** In [[Recap/GravityFallsS2E15TheLastMabelcorn "The Last Mabelcorn"]], after Mabel discovers Celestabellebethabelle has been lying to her about how only the pure of heart can touch her hair, she and her friends Candy, Grenda, and Wendy prepare to beat the snot out of the unicorns. It cuts away from the ensuing fierce battle, battle ([[SmashCut cutting immediately to Dipper before the fight even begins]]), and the next time we see the girls they're battered, bruised, and covered in splotches of rainbow-colored unicorn blood and tears.

However, the fight itself is rarely the focus of scenes. It occurs mostly off-screen, or in the background while something unrelated occurs in the foreground. Instead, the primary focus of the climax is on Jaune confronting Cinder about what she did at Beacon and the awakening of his Semblance, Cinder's battle with the Spring Maiden over the fate of the magic, Yang's confrontation with her mother over the the fate of the Relic, and Blake standing up to Adam for the first time instead of running from him.

* While ''WebAnimation/ClubPenguinShutdown'' normally doesn't shy away from showing shootouts and other kinds of battles or fights, the showdown Lil_Jeffy's group (including the several Purple Republic members who do a HeelFaceTurn) has against the the Tuba Gang Leader, his loyal Purple Republic members and the Strangers in Season 1's "The Fall" largely happens off-screen, instead being displayed from the Floppy Green Penguin preparing itself, the muffled death screams, the blood-splattered first floor after the fight that happened there, the Strangers' corpses falling from the third floor, and the members outside of the Puffle Hotel talking about what's happening. Considering the relatively large scale of this showdown compared the others in the series' first season, which wouldn't be returned to until Season 2's "The Gathering" and "The Race", this is arguably [[EnforcedTrope enforced]], as the animators had less experience in the first season and likely wouldn't have known how to display the battle in all its vigor (whereas the aforementioned Season 2 showdown is properly shown).

Her trainer is forced to duck under a Hyper Beam fired from the Staraptor and the trainer's eyes constrict with horror as she puts an arm up to block her face while a loud explosion can be heard at one point while watching it. Fortunately for Bidoof, after this, the rest of the fight gets to be on-screen thereafter to show her winning it.
