The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at the Trope Launch Pad.

I chose anime but this is common in a lot of mediums. Anyway: The trope where the hero basically gets the shit beat out of them for a large portion of a fight, constantly punched in the face, kicked in the gut, etc., and still manages to get up, and eventually they just land one punch on the bad dude's face and it's treated as some sort of miracle, with the baddie suddenly critically injured, despite taking a fraction of what he dished out. It's sort of like Made of Iron combined with some sort of "Villians are glass cannons" trope.
