History PlayingWith / DestroyingAPunchingBag

** The punching bag was at the end of its lifespan. [[note]]I hope it wasn't a [[SentimentalShabbiness Sentimental Item]].[[/note]]

** Flash's actor ''really did break that bag open''. The director decided to just go along with it, citing to "ThrowItIn" and that it was a happy accident.

* '''Enforced''': It's an EstablishingCharacterMoment for Flash that cements him as TheBigGuy, even if he's just a 16 year old who's starting out in boxing.

* '''Straight''': World Octuple Division (and currently Heavyweight) Champion Flash Young throws his FinishingMove on the heavy bag: A {{megaton|punch}} [[SouthpawAdvantage left cross]]. He punches the bag so hard, it rips open and goes flying off the chain.

** Flash urges the others to {{train|ingfromhell}} so hard that they could easily get results similar to him. The road to getting there is long, but soon enough, everyone, even Alicia, manages to get the same results. Clay makes use of his hip and arm twisting to quickly twist his punches and make them stronger, Ulysses learns to "jump" with the punch in a similar fashion to Creator/MikeTyson, [[Manga/HajimeNoIppo Ippo Makunouchi]], and other peek-a-boo style users, and Alicia makes sure to get a running start (or rather a dashing start) in order to add force into her punches.
* '''Played for Horror''': All's fun and games until Flash proceeds to use that [[LudicrousGibs exact same left straight on his next opponent]].

* '''Played for Drama''': Before joining Billy's Brawlin' Club, Flash (going by a SecretIdentity, Eugene Thompson) was at another gym. The gym was so poor that they couldn't afford to buy more punching bags, and since Flash accidentally tore one open, the gym owner's wife accidentally poked herself with the needle while stitching the broken bag up. Overall, Flash invoking this trope managed to make things even ''worse''.

* '''Implied''': An uncannily loud crashing, along with clamoring from the gym members, is heard from Billy's Brawlin' Gym. We don't get to see what actually happened, though comments are made of getting a new heavy bag.

** Flash is told to put [[WorkingOutTheirEmotions all of his anger and feelings into his left cross]]; It worked ''too'' well.

* '''Exaggerated''': Flash punches the bag so hard, ''it disintegrates'', and whatever was behind it had been reduced to SceneryGorn.

* '''Justified''': [[SuperStrength Flash is just that strong]].

* '''Invoked''': There's a news station that wants to showcase Flash's brute strength, and one of them urges him to punch the heavy bag.
