Line #66 AmusingInjuries/AnimeAndManga


1	* ''Webcomic/AfganisuTan'': Usually happens towards the title character as an allusion to the decidedly less amusing stuff that happens to the real Afghanistan.
2	* This happens all the time in ''Manga/{{Beelzebub}}''. We've got Oga being beaten by Hilda and electrocuted by Beelz, the random mooks Oga pummels, the perverted Tengu Aoi has to deal with, and ''everything'' that happens to Furuichi.
3	* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': How many times has Shinji Hirako been pummeled by Hiyori Sarugaki?
4	** [[ButtMonkey Kon's]] existence period.
5	** Every time someone attempts to throw himself at Rangiku Matsumoto.
6	*** Toshiro meets Rangiku for the first time.
7	** Kenpachi "suffering" various amusing injuries at the hands of his lieutenant
8	** Ichigo getting whacked by his dad.
9	*** Ichigo getting whacked by Rukia.
10	** Ishida getting hit by a spirit core ball thingy.
11	** Shiba Kuukaku beating up (mostly) Shiba Ganju or any other character that pisses her off.
12	* ''Literature/BludgeoningAngelDokuroChan'' show the title character frequently pulping the male lead in very bloody and over-the-top ways that approach ''Happy Tree Friends'' levels of violence. Fortunately, she has a reset button, because she's really fond of him.
13	* In ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'' when Touma pisses off Index she always retaliates by biting him everywhere, especially on his head. While other guys end up with lipstick marks, Touma ends up with bite marks. And pretty frequently, at that.
14	** Similarly, Kuroko invoking the wrath of her dorm supervisor in ''Raligun'' usually ends in the BadassNormal supervisor snapping her neck so quickly she doesn't even have the chance to teleport away.
15	* ''Anime/{{Charlotte}}'':
16	** Joujirou's head bleeds quite a bit in episode 2 after he crashed into the cafeteria's large windows while using his power to buy some sandwiches.
17	** Done again in Episode 3, with Joujirou banging his head on the wall until it sprays a small fountain of blood.
18	** When Nao gets punched in the face, she's more concerned about the fact that her camera might have been damaged.
19	** Joujirou again in episode 4, which after he crashed into the wall, his bleeding injured head is censored mith mosaic. PlayedForLaughs, though.
20	** Averted in Episode 5 with Nao's mobbing.
21	** Joujirou is kicked out the window ''on fifth floor'' by Nao in episode 6 after the group decides not to take him to visit Ayumi. He later claims these sorts of things happen to him ''all the time''.
22	* ''Manga/CityHunter'': Played consistently sexist, with Ryo usually on the receiving end of some woman's wrath (most commonly Kaori, courtesy of her personal HyperspaceMallet).
23	* ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'': Almost the only reason for Youhei Sunohara's existence.
24	* ''Manga/DeathNote'': L and Light's punch-ups are oddly lacking in consequence. They slam each other in the face while playing headgames to make sure the other party's caught physically unprepared, but seem to come out a bit dirty at best. Especially odd in a series that's all about tragic/fatal consequences for very small physical actions, like writing or thinking -- yet there they are, whaling on each other to no real effect.
25	** This is largely because the arc with the punch-ups is mainly light relief from the otherwise unrelenting darkness of the plot. L and Light fight on two occasions, hitting each other three times each. They never really lose control (they argue all the way through the longer fight), and the impression given is very much that both of them are too smart to really hurt the other.
26	* ''Franchise/DragonBall'':
27	** Because of the MadeOfIron nature of most of the characters, they can take a lot of abused for the sake of comedian. Goku is the most common victim early in the original ''Manga/DragonBall'' with random objects landing on his head, his tail being set on fire or crushed by a rock, having his own friends shoot him, and getting smacked by Bulma.
28	** Krillin, being the ButtMonkey that he is, also get a lot of physical abused. He had his blood sucked almost to the point of death, and it's played for laughs. He get these a lot worse in the movies.
29	** Master Roshi, because he's a DirtyOldMan, is constantly hit and smacked by the women's he attempts of fondle, mostly [[{{Tsundere}} Bulma]].
30	** Mr. Satan is the poster child for amusing injuries since his introduction. One of the most memorable being when he was flung from the ring by Cell, much to some of the Z Fighters' annoyance since they wanted him dead for being ungodly annoying. What makes Mr. Satan especially amusing is that he is a [[{{Muggle}} regular human]]. He's strongest than most on the planet, but his strength is nothing compared everyone else by the time of ''[[Anime/DragonBallZ Z]]''.
31	* ''Manga/ExcelSaga'': The eponymous protagonist has been blown to bits numerous times, has fallen from tall buildings, and suffers more of such things multiple times per episode, without any lasting effects. The only exception is near the end of the anime when [[spoiler: the Great Will of the Macrocosm is not available to do the usual SnapBack]] and one particular injury sticks around for a while.
32	** Dr. Iwata is routinely beaten by his nurse sidekick in the manga, but never seems to take any lasting damage.
33	** Pretty much everyone in the anime and even the manga is pretty close to invulnerable, really.
34	* ''Anime/FullMetalPanicFumoffu'' is made of this trope. There is not one episode where Sousuke doesn't shoot someone, blow someone up, tear-gas someone, or do something that would otherwise kill said someone. However, in the first and third seasons, these things are usually very deadly.
35	** And don't forget what Kaname does to him. In the first season of ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'', she hurled a concrete slab across a baseball field with enough force to hit him in the back of the head and knock him down. This trope is the ''only'' reason he got away without a broken skull or neck.
36	* Very common in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', usually when Winry finds out that Ed has damaged his automail again. She brandishes her monkey wrench, and in the next frame Ed is lying in a bloody puddle on the ground, with Al crying in the corner and any bystanders looking horrified and frightened. The next frame, everyone is back to normal. But notable among those instances is in one episode of ''Brotherhood'' where Winry hits Ed so hard he's sitting in a pool of blood, and Al has to catch Ed's soul before it escapes his body! "I've got your soul, brother."
37	** Note that this really only applies to Winry's wrench hitting Ed. Whenever Ed (or anyone else) is hurt in a fight, it is treated seriously and they spends at least some time in the hospital recovering. We also see notable injuries [[spoiler:like Havoc being paralyzed from the waist down after the fight with Lust]] that don't heal, and prove difficult for the characters because of it.
38	** Also applies to Armstrong following the 5th Lab incident. Ed recieved a few serious injuries in the fight against Slicer, including a cut on his forehead, a gash to his shoulder and a gash along his side. However, when Winry shows up in the hospital to repair his automail, Ed is covered head to toe in bandages. Winry asks what happened, and Ed explains that Major Armstrong, upon hearing Ed had been injured, crushed Ed in a deathly tight hug of manly affection and bishie-sparkles. Ed is shown removing the excess bandaging in the next scene, fine aside from his actual fight wounds.
39	* ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'': Lampshaded and subverted when Hayate finds himself bleeding from the head, then shrugs it off saying that, [[MediumAwareness since this is an anime]], he'll be all better in the next shot. Then the blood starts [[HighPressureBlood erupting out]].
40	* ''Manga/HeIsMyMaster'': Nakabayashi Yoshitaka is constantly injured.
41	* ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': When [[TheHero America]] and [[DeadpanSnarker England]] get sent a box of supplies, England finds ice cream inside. He offers it to America, who runs over to get it, slips on a banana peel... [[LogicBomb and breaks his foot.]]
42	** And let's not forget the case of England and the shooting star, with America spazzing out and grinning wide.
43	* The eponymous ''Manga/KamenNoMaidGuy'' is regularly beaten close to death with a nailbat as a form of amusing injury. The other characters are sometimes maimed pretty badly, too.
44	* ''Manga/KOn'': Mio constantly bonking Ritsu. That is, hitting.
45	* ''Manga/KunisakiIzumoNoJijou'': Izumo often hurls Sae against a wall, leaving a distinctive impact crater on it, whenever he tries to get too close to him.
46	* ''Manga/LiesOfTheSheriffEvansDeadOrLove'': Chapter 111 averts it while still being funny. It starts out with Quaid and the titular Sheriff Evans going to a doctor to be checked out from having hurt themselves. They hurt themselves from [[DistractedByTheSexy trying to look under the dress of a woman standing on a bridge while their horses were passing under the bridge]].
47	* ''Manga/LoveHina'':
48	** The main protagonist Keitaro Urashima is said to be invulnerable both in the manga and by comments from the author.
49	*** In the Christmas special {{OVA}}, he falls off the roof and sprains his ankle, putting him in crutches for the rest of the special. This is rather surprising considering he's fallen off that roof numerous times (and has had far worse done to him) without so much as a bruise before.
50	*** At one point in the manga he takes a bowling ball to the back of the head and is fine. Naru actually gets freaked out by this and demands to know if he's a zombie.
51	*** The other characters are genuinely surprised when, at the point when they're entering university, [[spoiler:he ends up with a broken leg. Which still took a gigantic piece of masonry falling on top him like a cartoon anvil.]]
52	** Averted, at least to the same degree, with other girls. When Kanako prepares to launch Kitsune into outer space, all other girls protest with a hearty, "She's not Keitaro! If you do that, she'll die!"
53	* ''Anime/MagicalProjectS'': Rumiya gets constantly beaten up by his sister in over-the-top ways and never seems to take any permanent damage from it.
54	** Many characters are also qualified for this trope such as Sasami (even more than Rumiya), Pixy Misa, Ryo-Ohki and Mihoshi.
55	* ''Manga/MononokeSharing'': Momi has a habit of ripping out her horns when she needs to fit in among humans, resulting in a comical amount of blood spurting from the sides of her head.
56	* ''Manga/MonsterMusume'': The protagonist regularly has these inflicted upon him by the eponymous monster girls. To their credit, they usually aren't ''trying'' to hurt him, but most of them [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength forget that they're mostly larger and stronger than humans]].
57	* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': More in the filler than canon, Naruto often finds himself receiving bodily harm from Tsunade, Sakura, even inadvertently by Hinata one time, and the occasional anonymous female. This can be played off due to his HealingFactor but a normal person would most likely be rendered catatonic by just one of the beatings he gets from Sakura.
58	** Naruto is ''poisoned'' and apparently would have died without [[CarryingTheAntidote the antidote]], and it's played for laughs (particularly him foaming at the mouth and passing out). This is preceded by a very early scene where he gets poisoned, dramatically [[SuckOutThePoison removes it by cutting open the wound with his kunai]], and starts comically freaking out when Kakashi tells him he needs medical treatment or he'll die of blood loss.
59	** Gai punching Lee for not listening.
60	* The anime ''Manga/{{Needless}}'' is all about this during the first half of the series. Characters get run over by motorcycles, receive ''stacks'' of [[CranialEruption bumps on their heads]], one female character gets a heavy stuffed animal thrown at her head (cracking her skull), and so on and so on. But then during the second half of the series, most of the injuries are very serious, non-cartoony, and PlayedForDrama.
61	* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' fluctuates in and out of using this, usually depending on the drama of the situation. Comically breaking a boulder over someone's head? Amusing injury. [[spoiler: Arch-enemy impaling you with a stone spear because you happen to be in his way? You'll nearly bleed to death.]]
62	* ''Manga/NekoDeGomen'': Every time [[CatGirl Yayori]] attacks Shiraisha-sensei.
63	* ''Literature/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'' has [[OnlySaneMan Mahiro]] resort to [[DopeSlap smacking Nyarko, Cuuko]], and/or Hasta when their madcap antics get out of hand. When he's ''really'' mad, he breaks out [[ForkFencing the forks]]. It remains Amusing Injuries in the two TV series mainly because these three are Lovecraftian evil gods and therefore can take it, and because the forks only produce the standard comedic bump; in the original light novels and the ''Nyaruani'' shorts, Nyarko starts gushing HighPressureBlood whenever she's stabbed by one.
64	* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
65	** Luffy's crew and friends (Especially Nami and Sanji) have caused Amusing Injuries to him more than once, even though Luffy is [[RubberMan made of rubber]], and thus isn't normally hurt by physical blows. He always seems to recover quickly enough.
66	*** Though to be fair, considering what his grandfather put him through during his childhood, their hits are probably little more than a slap on the wrist to Luffy. And they do try verbally chastising him. It never works.
67	*** Strangely enough near the end of the Wano Arc, [[spoiler:this trope works in Luffy's favor defensively while battling Kaido after the former awakens his Devil Fruit to unlock the Gear 5 transformation. Said form allows him to use ToonPhysics and boosts his durability to absurd heights. Heavy hitting attacks that [[LightningBruiser Kaido]] uses which would otherwise severely injure Luffy are now giving him goofier, slapstick injuries that he's able to recover from ''very'' quickly. Case in point and prior to the raid of Onigashima, Luffy's first encounter with Kaido ended with him using his Thunder Bagua attack to [[OneHitKill one shot]] [[CurbStompBattle Luffy with ease]]. Fast forward several chapters later after Luffy unlocks Gear 5 and Kaido hits him with a even ''more powerful'' version of Thunder Bagua! This move would've likely kill Luffy outright, but thanks to the massive defensive boost of Gear 5? We're instead greeted to a panel of Luffy with a [[CranialEruption big cartoon bump]] accompanied by CirclingBirdies. Shortly after, Luffy recovers and grabs Kaido as the former prepares his [[FinishingMove Bajrang Gun]] to end the fight.]]
68	** Usopp gets his share of these due to how often he has a hand in Luffy's childish antics (and the fact that he's the weakest of the Straw Hats), and Chopper and Brook are sometimes in the same boat. Even [[TheLancer Zoro]] and [[ChefOfIron Sanji]] are prone to these sometimes, most often from Nami.
69	* ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'': Speed-of-Sound Sonic was felled by Saitama via an accidental GroinAttack. Saitama stopped just short of hitting Sonic in the balls, but didn't take into account Sonic's momentum from a flying kick attack. Merely landing groin-first on Saitama's fist was enough to inflict pain on an existential level.
70	* ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' is ''full'' of these, most of them happening to Chuck or Brief, although Panty and Stocking do receive quite a few Amusing Injuries as well.
71	* ''Manga/{{Plunderer}}'' has one of the main protagonist constantly getting beaten on for being perverted and he usually sports bruises and band-aids only to be fine.
72	* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': Injuries to humans seem to yo-yo between being funny and dark depending on what the plot needs. After Ash's Charmander evolved into Charmeleon, it was a running gag for him to roast [[StealthPun Ash's]] [[AshFace face]]; similarly, there was a running gag between James and his anarchic, face-eating Victreebel (and his overly- and painfully-affectionate Cacnea and Carnivine...what is it with James and Grass-types?). However, at other times in the story, Pokémon attacks were treated as genuinely harmful and dangerous, particularly the first episode in which Ash gets chased by a group of Spearow out for blood (no, this has nothing to do with Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds").
73	** Also when Meowth slices peoples' faces and red lines appear. They seem to heal after a couple of seconds though.
74	** The Team Rocket trio survives explosions powerful enough to launch them into the stratosphere at the end of almost every episode.
75	** Victreebel gets SquashedFlat in the episode ''Snack Attack!''. It's [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hysterical]].
76	* On the other hand, the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' movies greatly downplays/averts this trope, with more cases of death (both on/off-screen) and semi-permanent injuries.
77	** The most [[NightmareFuel frightening]]/[[HateSink infuriating]] aversion being [[BigBad Kodai]] killing the child Zorua in ''Anime/PokemonZoroarkMasterOfIllusions''.
78	** Team Rocket were legitimately fearing for their lives in the second movie when they fell of Lugia's back. They landed on thin ice and SoftWater though.
79	** Ash also nearly dies in ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'', though he gets revived near the end.[[note]]This does not apply to the original Japanese version, however; as he was simply paralyzed.[[/note]]
80	* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' is powered solely by this trope. To list the injuries involved would take up most of the page. This applies only to the [[{{Slapstick}} comedic instances of violence]]. Serious battles ''do'' give serious injuries their proper place, even when the characters are [[MadeOfIron unnaturally resilient]].
81	* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'': Much of the humor comes from this, with [[ButtMonkey Usagi]] and [[NotSoAboveItAll Rei]] being the most frequent victims.
82	** There's a slapstick routine involving Usagi trying to "Sailor V kick" [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Shingo]] for irritating her just after she got booted from the house for failing a test. Usagi misses and kicks the closed door, then clutches her [[AgonyOfTheFeet foot in pain]] and melodramatically wails to be let in.
83	*** In Act 1 of both the [[Manga/SailorMoon manga]] and ''Anime/SailorMoonCrystal,'' Usagi first meets her cat {{familiar}} via stepping on the cat's ''spine'', tripping and {{faceplant}}ing on the sidewalk. Luna returns the favor by maniacally scratching Usagi's face, (the marks from which [[BeautyIsNeverTarnished disappear]] after a single scene) then leaping away none the worse for wear.
84	*** In episode 104 of the [[Anime/SailorMoon original anime]], Usagi's feet fall asleep during a tea ceremony and Chibi-usa punches her in the foot to deliberately trigger SeizaSquirm. One word: ouch.
85	** Usagi isn't the only senshi who was subjected to this: In "Rei and Minako's Girl School Battle", after Minako showed up at T.A. Girls Academy, and managed to piss off the teachers, she was implied to have been whipped. The beaten Minako was drawn in a comical manner, and even Rei laughed at her, upsetting her. It doesn't help that Minako was perfectly able to transform into Venus mere minutes later and defeat the MonsterOfTheWeek.
86	** In the Sailor Moon S anime, Rei tried out a motorcycle, only to get violently flung off of it. Rei merely had a bad back and an annoyed expression to show for it (which she managed to walk off in no time). The girls just stared at Rei in confusion as they watched her get thrown off the motorcycle.
87	*** On a separate occasion, in the [=SuperS=] season, Mars had had her Flame Sniper blown back on her, leaving her with an AshFace.
88	** In the Makaiju arc of the anime, after getting Makoto out of a daydream, Ami was slapped on the back hard enough to send her to the ground and leave a red handprint ''on her clothes'' (though this may be an indicator that the situation was being PlayedForLaughs).
89	* ''Manga/{{Senyuu}}'': Broken ribs, injured larynx, heavy beatings from an overblown {{Tsundere}}, [[spoiler:being dramatically sliced through by the second of the 12 Chosen Ones]]...ain't nothing for the likes of the main cast! Although unlike many series, the injuries stick ([[NervesOfSteel more or less]]), leading to the main character Alba complaining about his broken ribs several episodes after he initially broke them.
90	* ''VisualNovel/{{Shuffle}}'': Poor, poor Maoh-sama (Sia's father). He has a RunningGag of being [=KOed=] by his daughter... with a chair.
91	* ''Anime/{{Slayers}}'': Naga from the OVA's gets set on fire a lot...
92	* In ''Manga/SoulEater'', people suffer great blood loss from being whacked by books and hands. Having a scythe blade hit you on the head is one used as an amusing injury. One fight goes in the same scene from a character being stabbed through the chest, to having birds and stars around their head after being kicked.
93	** Black*Star has been the victim of multiple bad encounters too: [[GroinAttack Groin Attacks]], getting stabbed in the butt by OX using Harvar and then electrocuting him (Maka applies to this in the same episode, though indirectly), Tsubaki throwing a shrunken at him for getting caught peeping, etc.
94	* The ''Manga/TentaiSenshiSunred'' anime uses this a lot, with Sunred's constant curb-stompings never leading to worse than bruises and nosebleeds and lots of applied band-aids to the Florsheim monsters. The manga is much more brutal, which is explainable by the [[AudienceShift anime being intended for an expanded audience]].
95	* ''Anime/ZombieLandSaga'': [[Characters/ZombieLandSagaFranchouchou Franchouchou]] is often victim to these, as is their producer, Kotaro. The former being zombies, injuries such as removed limbs and broken necks are easily fixed.
