Or: A Non-View to a Kill. It's finally arrived; the climactic moment where good meets evil, where right fights wrong, where... someone will get their ass kicked! But then, suddenly, the camera decides not to focus on the great battle, but rather on something a little more insignificant, like the pool or some other innocent area, with only the sound of the battle heard (perhaps somewhat muffled) and perhaps the occasional Screen Shake, especially in animated media. Focusing on the faces of observing characters gives a good gauge of the brutality of the fight without showing the fight itself; zooming out farther without reducing the battle noise is a less common variant, but still not too rare in comedies. It stays this way for the entire fight, only showing the aftermath. There are a variety of reasons for this. The first is money: the producers might not have had enough money to actually film an epic battle, resulting in a Fight Unscene. This might lead to an Offscreen Moment of Awesome. On the other hand, if they care enough, they could combine this with the second reason: artistic quality. A big fight scene might not be that interesting or original — but deliberately not showing the fight, instead focusing on something mundane, that could be considered art. But beware: this could lead to Faux Symbolism. There's also a third reason: perhaps the director did want a really violent and/or bloody battle, but the Moral Guardians objected too much. Or, if it's a cartoon, it could be due to the Rule of Funny. Often, these are shown either through a Big Ball of Violence or zooming outside a building and showing it bounce and tumble around from the force of the battle. Related to Fight Unscene, Gory Discretion Shot, Abuse Discretion Shot, Big Ball of Violence and Sound-Only Death. Compare and contrast with Charge-into-Combat Cut, Offscreen Moment of Awesome, Relax-o-Vision, and Great Offscreen War. Most of the time, the viewer will have to Take Our Word for It. As this trope can occur during important plot points, beware of unmarked spoilers. |

Fight Club: The fight between the Narrator and Blondie. According to the director's commentary, the original version was more directly graphic, but the censors boohooed it. The result that made it into the cinematic version fit this trope. The change, arguably, led to a scene more horrible because it used this trope. | |

In The Smurfs comic book story "The Smurf Menace", Hefty gets into a fight with three Grey Smurfs who have stolen food from the Smurfs, and while only the two Smurfs following Hefty get to see the fight that we don't, we do get to see Hefty shaking his fist at the badly-wounded Grey Smurfs running back to their village. "Salad Smurfs" teases us with this, as in one panel Papa Smurf sees a cloudy skull wearing a Smurf-style chef's hat, indicating that the Smurfs were ganging up on and beating Chef Smurf to a pulp, protesting Chef's recent spell of bad cooking, but when Papa Smurf enters the kitchen, Chef Smurf looks like the only thing that was harmed was his pride. |

In Bleach, the fight between Espnada #0 Yammy Rialgo and the team of Rukia, Chad, and Renji takes place mainly off-panel. We see the opening blows of the fight and then them preparing to get serious...and then we switch to the Real World for a few months to cover the fights there. By the time we catch up in Hueco Mundo, much of the battle has already taken place, with Rukia the last one standing. Yammy again, this time he's fighting Kenpachi and Byakuya after getting knocked around by them and having finally gone all out, then we switch to Ichigo and Unohana on their way to Fake Karakura Town. Then after it's all over we see Yammy defeated. |

In the Tom and Jerry short "Mouse Trouble", Tom pounces on Jerry while the latter is backed into a corner, on the advice from his new mouse-catching guide that "A cornered mouse never fights". There's sounds of a violent scuffle, then a battered and bruised Tom sticks his head out and says, in an ominous voice, "Don't you believe it!" | |

In The Book of Three, Taran is briefly involved in the initial part of the final battle before being knocked out by trying to draw the magic sword Dyrnwyn. The rest of the battle is recounted to him by his companions after he wakes up in the high king's castle. Definitely used for Character Development in the next five books as he becomes more and more centrally involved in the conflict. | |

In Fargo, Lorne Malvo machine-guns the entire Fargo mob, but all we see of it is one man being thrown through a window to the sidewalk below. The rest is simply the camera moving up and over the side of the building from the door Malvo enters, following the shots and screams past rows of mirrored windows. | |

Rackety Tam has a small group of robbers occupying a family of farming voles' home. Then, The Lancer (and The Big Guy) and the Lightning Bruiser come along and decide to infiltrate the home as "hostages". In an offscreen battle inside the home, from the POV of the vole family who have evacuated their children outside to keep them away from the fighting, the two protagonists manage to kill all the three or four robbers. According to the sounds inside, they fight them with kitchen utensils and their own weapons. In the end, the last of the robbers trundles out, gargles violently and dies as well. | |

The Yakuza/Springfield Mafia fight in The Simpsons takes place mostly from the view of the Kitchen. Homer is then rather bummed out that he's missing out on all the good action. Especially since "The Little Guy hasn't done anything yet, and you know when he does, it's going to be good." | |

Heroes has season one's big showdown between Future Peter and Sylar - colorful lights busting through the door Mohinder's holding shut. Also season three's big showdown had the Petrelli brothers facing off against Sylar at his absolute strongest. All we saw was colorful lights and Claire's eye peaking through the door. The fandom was a bit less forgiving this time. |

Donkey Kong Country Returns starts off with a bang using one of these.

Parodied in Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra. At the start of the climactic battle, Obelix is seen charging at a group of Roman legionnaires. When the actual fight is about to start, the narrator intervenes, telling the audience that, instead of watching a violent battle, they instead should watch an educational documentary about crayfish, followed by actually showing a bit of said documentary. When the documentary ends, the battle isn't over, and the next shot features Romans being sent flying across the building. | |

8-Bit Theater loves this trope. For every battle that's shown on panel, there are at least two whose effects are only observed by the other characters or implied via speech bubbles, sound effects, or rivers of blood from offpanel. The crowning moment, however, is in the Final Battle with Chaos where this is used twice — first when it actually happens and again, in a Double Subversion, in flashback. The latter also counts as an intentional Offscreen Moment of Awesome. | |

RWBY: Volume 5 builds up to the confrontation between the heroes and villains over the fate of Haven Academy and the Relic of Knowledge. However, the fight itself is rarely the focus of scenes. It occurs mostly off-screen, or in the background while something unrelated occurs in the foreground. Instead, the primary focus of the climax is on Jaune confronting Cinder about what she did at Beacon and the awakening of his Semblance, Cinder's battle with the Spring Maiden over the fate of the magic, Yang's confrontation with her mother over the the fate of the Relic, and Blake standing up to Adam for the first time instead of running from him. For the core battle itself, the part that's most focused on is Hazel's hatred of Ozpin driving him to try and kill Oscar. | |

While Club Penguin Shutdown normally doesn't shy away from showing shootouts and other kinds of battles or fights, the showdown Lil_Jeffy's group (including the several Purple Republic members who do a Heel–Face Turn) has against the the Tuba Gang Leader, his loyal Purple Republic members and the Strangers in Season 1's "The Fall" largely happens off-screen, instead being displayed from the Floppy Green Penguin preparing itself, the muffled death screams, the blood-splattered first floor after the fight that happened there, the Strangers' corpses falling from the third floor, and the members outside of the Puffle Hotel talking about what's happening. Considering the relatively large scale of this showdown compared to the others in the series' first season, which wouldn't be returned to until Season 2's "The Gathering" and "The Race", this is arguably enforced, as the animators had less experience in the first season and likely wouldn't have known how to display the battle in all its vigor (whereas the aforementioned Season 2 showdown is properly shown). | |

Lampshaded in the Animaniacs episode "Bully for Skippy." After being warned to tone down the level of violence in her cartoons by the US government, Slappy Squirrel spends the rest of the episode building a strange machine while Skippy deals with a school bully. Once the machine is finished, and Duke the bully is violently reformed, Slappy feeds the senator and Skippy's guidance counselor into the machine, explaining that this machine helps eliminate the viewing of violence on screen, by allowing all the violence to happen OFF screen. | |

Married... with Children has this in the episode "Just a Little Off The Top." After Al is given a circumcision by mistake, he issues a warning that anyone who asks "What's up?" goes down. Bud, who had fallen into the basement and didn't hear the warning, asks Al "What's up?" when he comes back upstairs. The camera cuts to Peg and Kelly flinching as a loud "SMACK" is heard, and then back to Al, with Bud's leg sticking out from behind the couch. Jefferson enters later and asks the same question, with similar results. | |

Scootertrix the Abridged: Pinkie Pie interrupts the credits of Episode 5 to beat up The Editor. We don't see any of it, but just hear the sound effects. In "The Bird's Arch Nemesis", The Bird beats the snot out of Derpy—but only after they both fall into a pit, hiding their fight from our view. We hear the sounds of the fight, and Derpy's surprisingly articulate descriptions of her injuries immediately after. |

The climactic battle in the warehouse in With Strings Attached consists of nothing but a paragraph of the sound effects of the battle. This is partially because the real struggle was for John and Ringo to get into the damn warehouse in the first place, so the final battle was deliberately anticlimactic (especially given how much the four outclassed their opponents), and partially because the author finds fight scenes really boring and wanted to do something different and short. | |

An interesting take on this trope in Ghost in the Shell (2017). A hit team is shown sneaking up behind Batou, who smiles and readies his weapon. Cut to Togusa who is ambushed by a similar hit team in a noodle bar, but he has a mirror positioned to see anyone sneaking up behind him and so quickly dispatches the assassins. We then cut back to Batou driving away from his apartment, completely unharmed. | |

The Owl House: In the episode "Enchanting Grom Fright," Amity says that if Hooty talks to her again, she will destroy "it." When he butts into her business one too many times, it cuts to the outside of the house, where Hooty's neck is seen frantically wiggling around as Amity can be heard beating him up. In the very next scene, Hooty is seen completely covered and bruises and bandages. | |

Happens a lot in cartoons made by Xilam, such as Oggy and the Cockroaches and Space Goofs, where characters are beaten senseless off-screen, either when the camera pans away, or switches to somewhere way outside the place the beating takes place so that only its side effects can be seen (the whole house gets lift up the ground because of a very painful punch, for example). Although we do get to see the results. | |

Played for laughs in Samara's loyalty mission in Mass Effect 2. In the nightclub VIP room, a slightly drunk turian won't take no for an answer from an asari stripper. If Shepard tells him to lay off, the turian will pick a fight with him/her. Shepard and the turian move off-camera so only the asari is visible, whereupon there's a string of blows-landing sounds with accompanying winces from the asari, then the turian goes flying past the camera. Bonus points if it's FemShep wearing the Little Black Dress from Kasumi's loyalty mission. Especially given the dialogue for the scene if you're playing Female Shepard. (Watch it here.) | |

Done repeatedly in Rome. The series includes several major battles of the early Roman Empire, but only once (Phillipi) actually showed huge groups of soldiers fighting each other. For example, Caesar's campaign against Magnus is represented with a few screaming soldiers and a Roman standard falling into a puddle. That's about five years of warfare, right there. How Vorenus and Pullo massacre Erasmus Fulmen's henchmen is also never shown. |

In the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command episode "Root of Evil", the episode opens with Buzz and his team being called to a house where mutant produce have been attacking an innocent family. When the wife mentions that a mutant eggplant is still in their fridge's crisper drawer, Buzz and his team breach the kitchen to take down the mutated vegetable. We only get to see camera shaking accompanying shots of the kitchen entrance with flashes beaming through the doorway, and the horrified family witnessing the carnage. Mid-way through the fight, the chaos is broken up when XR comes out and politely borrows a dining room chair before going back into the kitchen and attacking the eggplant with said chair like a Professional Wrestler with a folding chair. | |

Game of Thrones: Played for Laughs when the Battle of the Green Fork is skipped. Tyrion gives a pre-battle speech to his mountain clansmen, then gets promptly knocked unconscious when they charge right over him. He wakes up after the battle and receives a summary from Bronn. Season 2 ends with the Night's Watch being confronted with an army of the dead. The next season shows that the Watch barely escaped but the battle was never seen. Given the immense size of the wildling army, the battle against them in "The Children" counts as one. |

Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch managed to have one minor example, being an anime that focuses on magical girls who fight their opponents by singing. In one scene, Rina encounters a group of boys who want to give her a ride and seem to be thinking naughty thoughts. The scene then switches to a calm scene on the beach. Cut back to the car scene to see the boys knocked out with Rina dusting off her hands. | |

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: The big battle between the FBI and Cromartie at the end of Season 1 to the tune of Johnny Cash's "The Man Comes Around." Cromartie slaughters everybody except Agent Ellison, but we only see things from underwater, as bodies come crashing down in the pool one by one. And a voice spoke and said, "Come and see," and I saw. And behold, a flaming horse, and him that was on it was Awesome, and Sweet followed after him. Subverted in the Season 2 episode "Mr. Ferguson Is Ill Today". Cromartie's fight with the Mexican police is initially experienced through sound only through Sarah's point of view, as she's locked in the trunk of his car, but then in Cromartie's own POV section we see it in full. |

In 52, there's a beautiful example of this. Lex Luthor has been provoking Steel for months — at the moment, Steel's niece is his hostage — and has often crossed the Moral Event Horizon for reasons related to his "Everyman" project, which has culminated in Luthor gaining Superman's powers. Steel's armor has been destroyed, which leads to several pages of No-Holds-Barred Beatdown — and Steel still gets back up, every single time. Fortunately, Natasha (the niece) uses Luthor's paranoia and her own ingenuity against him, ultimately shutting down Luthor's powers. Luthor has an Oh, Crap! moment, and then the next panel is a wide shot of the building, and the sounds of smackdown echoing across Metropolis. The creator commentary included in the trade paperback reveals that, originally, we were supposed to actually see the end of the fight, but the writers realized that nothing they could draw could possibly look as amazing as what the readers' own minds would fill in. | |

The Team Fortress 2 video Meet the Sandvich takes place entirely inside a refrigerator with the camera pointing at the eponymous Sandvich. The beauty is in the sounds of the battle - first the Heavy chows down on his sandvich with an almost-adorable "OM NOM NOM" noise, then come some sickening cracks and the Scout's screams of "MY BLOOD! HE PUNCHED OUT ALL MY BLOOD!" Hilarity ensued. | |

In Hercules: The Animated Series, this tends to happen whenever Hades ticks off another of the Olympian gods. He'll try — vainly — to apologize to his angry contemporary, then the screen shifts to the main cast, watching — with horror, amusement, or a combination of the two — a rather violent offscreen fight that was clearly one-sided against Hades. | |

There's a very similar example as a rare moment of comic relief in the otherwise wrenching second season finale of Robin of Sherwood. When the soldiers arrest Little John, the struggling men go into a building, and we then have a pan along the side of the building with comedy fight sound effects until they all burst out of the back door. | |

Doctor Who: In "The Reign of Terror", the Doctor convinces the leader of the press gang he's in that they're digging up gold coins. While the man scrabbles on the floor, back turned to the Doctor, the Doctor slowly takes a shovel from another of the gang members and readies it. We cut to the face of the man whose shovel the Doctor took as he looks on in confusion, before suddenly wincing in sympathetic agony. This was probably done because having the Doctor kill someone with a spade on screen would not be possible to Play For Laughs - he's allowed to kill people on screen at dramatic moments, though. In "The Nightmare of Eden", the Doctor being attacked by the Mandrels after he lures them back into their pocket universe is represented by comedy offscreen sound effects and branches shaking. The sequence remains a major bone of contention among fans who think that Season Seventeen in general was too comical. |

A few big battles in the animated Asterix movies use the Big Ball of Violence to hide the brutality, filling the screen with dust and armor flying out (also odder things like false teeth and boxer shorts). During Asterix in Britain, when Obelix is imprisoned in the "Tower of Londinium", we see him leave his cell in the fashion you'd expect of Obelix, then we cut to outside the Tower, hearing the sounds of Obelix knocking the guards about (and occasionally one flying out the window) as he goes down. Once he's down, however, Asterix goes in the front, thinking Obelix is still in there, and it happens again, only this time, going up. They both then realize where the other is, and it happens again until they meet in the middle. | |

Used a couple times in the Monkey Island series; once in the governor's mansion in The Secret of Monkey Island and then in Club 41 in the first episode of Tales of Monkey Island. The latter is one of those "creators didn't have the resources" versions; in a game commentary they explain that showing the inside of Club 41 would have put them over the Wii's file size limit. | |

Done twice in the Dragon Ball manga, though the anime adaptation shows the fights in full: In the chapter that shows Future Trunks' backstory, Trunks says he's confident that he's powerful enough to beat the Androids and he flies off to fight them. It then immediately cuts to him in a hospital bed five days later. When Trunks and Goten fuse into Gotenks, he is extremely arrogant and confident that he can defeat Majin Buu, and flies off the lookout. It then cuts to him flying back to it extremely beaten up. |

Star Wars: Clone Wars normally didn't shy away from showing violence, but used this trope to make General Grievous's fight with Palpatine's clone guards worse by implication. We see several shots of Grievous utterly pummeling some of the guards in the office, then the three Jedi grab Palpatine and flee into the hallway. The camera stays in the hallway, and the sounds of continued carnage from Palpatine's office are loud and clear, while the Jedi and Palpatine wait for the elevator to take them away. | |

After hours of torture he tears off his own fingernails and kills several guards by flicking them into their throats before threatening a scientist to let him go. After he's released a battalion charges in with him about to pick up an assault rifle. We cut to guards watching the carnage on security cameras before cutting back to reveal Hawkeye standing over a dozen dead soldiers holding two smoking rifles. His response to the security cameras?

Bidoof's Big Stand of Pokémon has its titular Bidoof suffering one of these as it fights a Staraptor in a tournament for about ten seconds interspersed with Bidoof getting knocked back into the view of the screen a few times. Her trainer is forced to duck under a Hyper Beam fired from the Staraptor and the trainer's eyes constrict with horror as she puts an arm up to block her face while a loud explosion can be heard at one point while watching it. Fortunately for Bidoof, after this, the rest of the fight gets to be on-screen thereafter to show her winning it. | |

Happens a lot in Codename: Kids Next Door, especially when one of the heroes beats up several adult enemies, something that is hard to show realistically. One good example is the end credits which occur right after the end of "Operation: F.L.U.S.H.", right after the team closes in on the Toilenator; the viewers see the Treehouse and hear a violent fight from within, until finally, there's a loud flushing noise and the badly bruised villain is dumped out a drainpipe. | |

We don't actually see the battle, just the reactions of Reed, Johnny, Valeria and Spider-Man (who happened to be in the neighborhood). Reed comments on Sue's "excellent synthesis of training and talent", Valeria gleefully shouts, "That's my mom!", Johnny cringes, "Oh, I can't look!" and Spider-Man murmers, "Never, never, never get this lady mad at me!"

In the Chimney Chickens episode "Comeback King", after Bruz Kuromi grabs Rob McLaury's neck for crashing through the wall into him, the camera cuts to Slick the ninja looking through the hole in the wall. The screen shaking, feathers flying through the hole in the wall, and the sound effects imply Bruz's retaliatory clobbering, before Rob is thrown back through the wall hole and into a trash can. | |

In A Family Thing, Maddie gives Vlad or rather a duplicate of him a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown as Jack and the others watch, with Jack providing commentary. | |

Babylon 5: "Believers" has Ivanova and a Mauve Shirt go out in Starfuries to escort a damaged passenger liner to the station. Ivanova pursues and destroys a Raider ship, then cue Oh, Crap! as dozens more appear on her sensors, and ... cut back to the episode's main plot on the station. At the end of the episode she and the liner turn up at the station with enough damage to her fighter to put it in the shop for a week, and she basically laughs it off. In another episode, Marcus threatens an entire bar with an ass-whooping unless someone tells him what he wants to know. It then cuts to commercial and, on return, we see Marcus knocking out the last guy standing, before lamenting that he now has to wait for one of his opponents to regain consciousness for questioning. |

Minilife TV: In "1-800-MINIDIAL", Chris and Ian beat up a troll harassing them on their hotline off-camera, but because Chris doesn't condone violence, he dubs over all his cries of pain with a laugh track in post. | |

Used in Gremlins 2: The New Batch when Gizmo encounters Mohawk, the reincarnation of Stripe the Big Bad from the first film, we see his hand poke Gizmo in the back then he grabs him and drags him into a room where we then hear sounds of him beating the crap out of him while he cries out in pain while the camera shakes. | |

In the Dexter's Laboratory episode "A Mom Cartoon", Dexter's mom finds the last pair of latex gloves at the market, but another woman competes with her to get them. They fight, and close to the end, the episode cuts to an extended shot of the box of gloves on the floor while Mom and the other woman can be heard fighting. | |

Gravity Falls: The third segment of "Little Gift Shop of Horrors", "Clay Day", ends with the audience watching the main characters as they stand there watching a fight between living claymation monsters, which is only seen in traditionally-animated shadows. As Soos puts it, "This sure is an impressive fight. Good thing we're facing towards it!" In "The Last Mabelcorn", after Mabel discovers Celestabellebethabelle has been lying to her about how only the pure of heart can touch her hair, she and her friends Candy, Grenda, and Wendy prepare to beat the snot out of the unicorns. It cuts away from the ensuing fierce battle (cutting immediately to Dipper before the fight even begins), and the next time we see the girls they're battered, bruised, and covered in splotches of rainbow-colored unicorn blood and tears. Soos lampshades this trope when watching a fight between gigantic clay stopmotion monsters in real life(that would probably exceed the animation budget of the episode): |

It also happens in the Rankin-Bass version of The Hobbit some examples include when Gandalf kills The Great Goblin you see him swing the sword and it cuts to the Great Goblin grabbing at his throat and falling into a tunnel, when Bilbo stabs the spiders you see closeups of their spinning faces, and during The Battle of Five Armies the only impacts shown are when an enemy is hit with a shield other than that they swing their weapons and it cuts to the enemy falling, and from a distance you see dots throwing spears and arrows at each other. | |
