Times where someone demands others kneel before them in Fan Works.
Crossovers
- Fate/Long Night: After conquering the von Einzbern castle, Robert Baratheon orders the inhabitants to bend the knee to his summoner, Illya. Jubstacheit angrily refuses, so Robert simply manhandles him to the ground, causing the rest of the household to kneel.
- Halloween Unspectacular: In This is fine, Emperor Valerian orders the Diamonds to kneel before him as they surrender Homeworld. He then destroys Homeworld and everyone on it anyway, having sought only to humiliate the Diamonds before their deaths.
- In The Institute Saga 3, there is a layered one with Apocalypse declaring that everyone shall kneel before him, then Zod declaring that Apocalypse shall kneel before him instead.
- The J-WITCH Series:
- While Valmont fights the heroes with the Armor of the Crystal Skull, he demands them to bow before "the master of the Dark Hand, and the soon-to-be master of the world".
- Phobos tells Finn, Ratso and Chow to bow before him when he decides to make them his new minions. When they're about to refuse, he simply uses telekinesis to force them to, like Daolon Wong does canonically.
- Justice League of Equestria:
- Mare of Steel: Seeing as the Disc-One Final Boss is a ponified version of the Trope Namer, this naturally comes up in his encounters with Rainbow Dash/Supermare.
- The Princess of Themyscira: Ares demands this from Diana repeatedly in their fights.
- The Last Son: Naturally, the Trope Namer himself gets to say it a few times, such as when he does his Do Not Adjust Your Set speech demanding Earth's surrender:"A dear friend of mine believed that your species was capable of greatness; perhaps he was right. However, I do not see that, now: all I see is a race of very badly-misbehaving children, in severe need of disciplinary measures. Once my dictums are obeyed, and the human species becomes a civilization worthy of being Krypton's heirs, then I will gladly relinquish power... but for now, you have only one recourse if your society wishes to avoid its own self-destruction. You will obey my dictums... and kneel before Zod. You have one hour to comply. That is all."
- A New World, A New Way: In A New World, A New Conflict, Commander Sev introduces himself to the Zebricans this way.
- The Westerosi: King Joffrey is unwise enough to try and extort an oath of fealty out of Captain Jade Hasegawa of Starfleet as a condition of bothering to act on her warning that winter is coming... and so are the wights and White Walkers. This has the exact opposite effect he intended, driving Jade and her small but quite well-armed FTL-capable spaceship to actively supporting House Stark.... not to mention breaking Ned out of the dungeon, killing the Mountain in the process, and driving her boot into Jaime Lannister's tackle hard enough to do lasting damage.
- In Into the Abyss, Neptune winds up in a Mirror Universe and winds up in a fight with Blanc, who uses this trope.Blanc: You should just be thankful for the chance to die painlessly instead of making this harder on yourself. I can still give you that if you ask nicely. Prostrate before me and I'll consider it.
Neptune: Girls don't even have those, dummy!
- In Darkness (ankh-ascendant), Naraku has Sesshoumaru captive. He doesn't actually make the demand, but when he has Sesshoumaru helpless, rather than killing him, he freezes him in a kneeling, head-bowed position, encased in diamond.
- In Mega Man: Defender of the Human Race, Dr. Wily fantasizes about making everyone grovel before him—or, if he chooses, killing them while they're on their knees.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
- The Cadanceverse: Burning Sun and Nightmare Moon demand that Cadance and the ponies of the Equestria submit to their rule in this fashion. They also demand this of each other.
- War of the Biju: After he becomes the jinchuuriki for the Ten-Tailed Beast, Tobi demands that everybody present "bow before their new God"
- In This Bites!, Enel demands that Cross acknowledge his godhood. Cross refuses. This doesn't end well.
- Façade (Persona 4): During their battle against Shadow Chie, Yosuke asks what their Safe Word is. Shadow Chie angrily declares that there is no safe word, ordering them to kneel before her.
- A Destiny of Ice and Steel: Joffery gets a particular kick out of making Edward kneel before him.
- A Game of Vengeance and Justice: After defeating Aegon, Jasper forces the Dornish lords to kneel before him in order to shatter Dorne's belief in their independence.
- Near the beginning of Down to Agincourt, Castiel encounters Lucifer, who says, "You were meant to kneel in worship of someone. When I'm done with you, you'll do it for me." Castiel, who has really gotten on the free will train, tells him to commit an anatomically impossible act. Lucifer responds like a cat that fell off a table and huffily claims that he's not going to do anything because leaving Castiel alive will be a worse punishment.
- Played for Laughs in Glowworm: While picturing herself saving people, fighting villains and Endbringers, Taylor gets so caught up in her imaginings that she yells out "KNEEL BEFORE-" ...right as her father walks in.
