** Future Trunks does so in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' where he stays behind to stall Goku Black and Zamasu, while the rest of the heroes escape to the past. Trunks even attempts a TakingYouWithMe to destroy Future Zamasu and overcome his HealingFactor, however Black does not give him a chance to execute this and stabs him first.

* In the final episode of ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'', Miho is leading Maho further into the city, aiming to face her one on one. Naturally, Maho is followed by every single remaining Kuromorimine tank, save those distracted by Duck. She reaches her target and lures Maho in.

What follows, albeit mostly [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome off-screen]], is the Porsche tanking round after round from several late-war German tanks and tank destroyers and absolutely refusing to budge or move a fraction of an inch from the entrance of the Nishizumis' makeshift arena. When it does go down, it goes down firing, taking a number of enemy tanks with it, and the Automobile Club having nothing to say to their adversaries but lighthearted taunts.
