It's far more common to see a character hit by a blunt weapon than with an edged or pointy one. This is most likely because swords, spears, axes, arrows, and [[ChainsawGood chainsaws]] cause bleeding and leave visible scars. The only externally visible damage done by maces, [[DropTheHammer warhammers]], and [[CarryABigStick quarterstaves]] is bruising, [[CranialEruption lumps]], or the occasional cartoonish black eye. In either case, even if blunt weapons do as much damage as the sharp ones would, they will do it more cleanly.

* ''[[Series/XenaWarriorPrincess Xena]]'' had ''lots'' of sharp edges being brandished and used in fights, often with deadly intent, yet Mooks died a-plenty without any actual blood being shed. Xena's chakram also knocked people down without lopping off any arms and legs. And was that dirty great sword at her back just for show?

* ''Franchise/LupinIII'': How much Goemon uses his sword on people versus objects depends on the tone of the work. The [[Manga/LupinIII the manga]] had him and any other blade-wielder cutting down pretty much everyone they fight. Some of [[Anime/LupinIII the anime]] follow suits, while some never allow more than DefeatByModesty. Goemon's famous CatchPhrase is "Once again I have cut a worthless object.", which depending on the context can be a LampshadeHanging or a subversion (i.e. [[StealthInsult implying]] this his opponents' ''bodies'' are [[DehumanizingInsult "worthless objects"]])
