| Big Ball of Violence | comment |
When fighting, two (or more) animated or comic strip characters may vanish into a ball of smoke, from which the sounds of a really violent struggle emanate. Hands, feet or other random objects may protrude momentarily, then be pulled back in. This is used to indicate that the fight is so violent that: It kicks up a lot of dust. The animators felt it would be inappropriate to show to children. The animators could not possibly draw it without it looking stupid. The animators could not possibly draw it without completely blowing the animation budget. Rule of Funny dictates that some things are better left to the imagination. During a really long fight, the Big Ball of Violence may start rolling around the area, sucking up any nearby bystanders or objects into the fight (not unlike other big stickyballs) — one of which is usually That Poor Cat. Sometimes a shoe flies out for comedic effect. Sometimes a character escapes from the Big Ball of Violence, leaving the other participant to realize he's been beating up himself (or, if several characters had ganged up on the escapee, each other), or if a "reluctant" participant tries to sneak away and escape immediately gets dragged back into it. Or a character may be thrown out of the ball, angrily get up and jump back into the fray. In other cases, if a character witnesses a Second-Person Attack, and is easily overpowered, then the Big Ball Of Violence may mean the overpowered character is taking an ass-kicking. Another common gag is to have the fight come to a sudden halt, usually at the demands of an authority figure, with the participants stuck in ridiculous poses mid-attack, such as trying to bite somebody in the leg, or about to use a lethal weapon they certainly didn't have going into it. A rarely-used cloudless variant exists, with the fight being depicted as a literal Big Ball of Violence with various moments of the fight confined into a whirling, circular shape. Take Our Word for It that Battle Discretion Shot serves a similar function. A Sub-Trope of Fight Unscene. It can also be a sub-trope of Nothing Is Funnier, if it is played for comedic effect. For instance, when the smoke clears, someone may be liable to be sporting Amusing Injuries. Compare Thundering Herd. |

The rarely-seen Song of the South has this in the first animated scene, caused by Br'er Fox and then Br'er Bear when they pounce on Br'er Rabbit. A smaller ball (Br'er Rabbit) in it manages to sneak away from the melee as Br'er Bear reaches his big paw, clenched into a fist, out of the ball to try and punch the rabbit, but punching something else (presumably Br'er Fox). | |

An old issue of Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) had Sonic involved in a stationary version of this with Geoffrey St. John the Aussie British skunk. It had the whole cloud of dust, poking out arms-and beneath it, Sonic and Geoffrey's feet, standing firmly on the ground, killing the illusion that anything's actually going on in there. | |

Lamput: The episode "Carrot" has Fat Doc scour a patch of carrots on a farm to find Lamput. The farm's owner attacks Fat Doc for picking his carrots without permission, producing a cloud of smoke that obscures the two from sight. In the episode "The Split", after too many issues catching Lamput cause the Docs to break their friendship, the two of them attack each other in a cloud of violence. Lamput finds it funny at first, but slowly grows concerned the longer it goes on. |

Laid-Back Camp: Chiaki, Aoi, and Nadeshiko have a very short-lived and dusty fight◊ while debating what Christmas gifts to get one another, after Aoi suggests that the high-grade meat she's bringing along can be considered her gift to the others. In episode nine, Chiaki and Nadeshiko spar via Pop-Up Texting over what Rin should have for lunch when the latter stopped at a hot spring en route to the campsite, and in the aftermath, their avatars have Instant Bandages. |

In the Delicious Last Course DLC for Cuphead, this happens on the third stage of "Moonshine Mob". A large anteater uses his tongue to suck up the Old-Fashioned Copper ant police and some of his Cigar Chomper fly goons. He then spits them out and they travel across the screen like a pinball in a big dust cloud as they brawl against each other. Various heads and hands peak out of the ball. | |

A standard fight scene in Calvin and Hobbes when the duo come to blows (read: a lot) complete with Gosh Dang It to Heck! (and other more creative insults). This is sometimes lampshaded, subverted, and averted when Calvin returns home from school, but usually ends up with this because Hobbes learns fast. Miniature stars and planets typically surround the cloud. | |

Run with the Wind: In the anime adaptation, Musa is nagged by the others about the answer he from Hanako when he asked her who she has a crush on (presumably out of the Jo twins). He plays Secret-Keeper, however, and says it's between him and her. Annoyed by his silence, several of the guys proceed to beat him up in a comical dusty fight. For added hilarity, Nico-chan and King also end up throttling each other for no reason and Nira (the dog) at one point gets thrown into the mix too. | |

Persona 3 and Persona 4 give you the option to perform an "all out attack" when all enemies are knocked down. This results in all characters charging, forming a Big Ball of Violence, doing a lot of damage to their foes. Strangely, when fighting a foe with too much HP to be killed outright by this, they end up going flying from the ball and charging back in, implying that they're being beaten as badly as they're beating... but in the end, only the enemy ends up suffering damage. Though this is likely Rule of Funny; after all, the game certainly isn't using this for censorship reasons... Heck, in Persona 4, if the all-out attack is lethal to an enemy, the cloud of dust will take on the shape of a skull. This is carried over to Persona 3 Portable. In Persona 5, a close-up shot of the initiating character is shown over the victory screen instead. In Persona 4: Arena, this appears if a character connects with an "All-Out Attack" move and the target can be sent flying high into the air or into a wall. |

In Sid & Al's Incredible Toons, Sid and Al get into one of these when they meet. However, the outcome is always Al scarfing down Sid. Al will also attack balls of yarn in similar style, turning them into instant sweaters. | |

Taokaka, a character from the game BlazBlue, has a special attack where she pins down her opponent, brandishes her claws, and then proceeds to rip and tear at them in a most violent manner. Of course, you don't get to see all of it— after about a second, it's behind a Big Ball of Violence, complete with Taokaka herself popping out and going back in here and there, and the "(|||ﾟ Дﾟ)" bubble from the character being torn apart on the side of the screen as well. | |

Breath of Fire III: The Disembowel ability/spell. The performer flies at its target and a Big Ball of Violence is seen with stock sound effects, regardless of whether or not any damage is actually done (the spell doesn't always work; if it does it sets HP to 1, if it doesn't, it does nothing). | |

The Sims: Whenever two Sims get annoyed enough to attack each other, it erupts into a Big Ball of Violence, complete with the usual cartoon shticks of the smoke cloud, random limbs sticking out, characters trying to crawl out and being pulled back in, etc. The sequels has the fighters periodically pop-out and either have the two slap around each other, headlocking an opponent, or doing the "lemme at 'em" gesture before being jumped from behind. In the "Unleashed" Expansion for The Sims, a pet dog can get into a similar dustup with a raccoon, complete with raccoon falling out and performing "put up ya dukes" sparring moves before jumping back in. The "Pets" expansion for The Sims 2 allows two dogs (and less frequently, cats) to fight if they hate each other enough. After the dust clears, one dog (or cat) is lying on the floor looking sorry for itself and the other looks distinctly smug. The Sims 3 also has a "Pets" expansion, and the cats added in this pack can go hunting for various vermin. When they find one, they'll get into a scrap lasting several seconds, during which they'll be tossed into the air several times. Even if their target is a mere spider. If you use cheats to remove the actual cloud, you can see that the Sims are both just mangled together in a ball. The Sims 4 Vampire expansion pack has different variations based on the participants. Two vampires, either in a friendly sparring match or an angry duel, will be partially obscured by a black mist. But if a human picks a fight, the brawl will be obscured by a slightly larger dust cloud, the color of which is easily influenced by the surrounding lights, and symbols will fly out of it. In MySims, one of the "Be Mean" actions is to leap on the target Sim, initiating a Big Ball of Violence. Fistfights become these in The Sims Medieval, but swordfights don't because the player can control the Sim in a swordfight. |

This happens in both Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc (at the end of School Mode) and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair when Usami and Monokuma fight each other. Among the objects that fly out of the cloud are a screw, an ice cream cone, a rice ball and a pair of white briefs. | |

Cradle Series: A surprisingly realistic example shows up in Ghostwater: when a sea serpent and a giant turtle scrap it up near the ocean floor, a cloud of suspended mud quickly rises to obscure the action. At one point, Orthos (the turtle) gets thrown out of the cloud; he rights himself and charges back in. | |

By the second hub world, the two are seen locked in one of these, though by hub three the two seem to have worked out their issues and become friends. During Peppino's fight with The Noise, once Peppino depletes the latter's health bar the two will get into one of these, splitting apart at the center after bouncing between the walls. |

The panther's grab animation is them leaping at and clawing the player, with the attack obscured by a cartoonish cloud. Pom's grab move has her dog companion leaping at and attacking her opponent, obscured by a cloud, after which she pulls him off. |

In one of the endings to a One Piece game, Luffy and Ace fight for the last piece of meat using one of these. It's even funnier when you see Luffy reach out of it to grab his hat. | |

A Touhou Project fancomic titled Life of Maid will sometimes have two characters get into one with eachother, complete with Cross-Popping Veins appearing on the quarreling characters. A very silly example was when Remilia and Flandre got into one over the television — the fight went on for two pages. | |

In Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds, Field Bosses and World Bosses are high-level bosses with massive amounts of HP that are intended to be battled in large groups of players at specific times of day. As such, most fights with these tend to end up as this because there are a massive number of players present, each unloading all of the attacks they have available in rapid succession. You can, however, set an option to display only your own party members, which greatly improves performance. | |

Skullgirls: One of Peacock's attacks is an air grab that's a pretty classic version of the Big Ball of Violence— dust, flying limbs and all. It can be seen on this video at the 0:40 mark. "Big Ball of Violence" even happens to be the name of the move! The animators had a little bit of fun with this move: After this move is pulled off, you can see for a moment that Peacock has punched herself in the face with a brass knuckle. For the record, she's also holding a "Bang!" Flag Gun in the other hand. |

Frequently used with Beetle and Sarge and others in Beetle Bailey (see picture above). Also subverted once in the sense that Beetle was actually making it by himself, not fighting Sarge as it appeared. Another time, Killer and Beetle were making one, and Sarge told them to stop and that they should water the ground first so that fighting doesn't raise so much dust. | |

During the Wheel of Fortune miniarc in Vaguely Recalling JoJo, Jotaro suspects that one of La Squadra di Esecuzione is the driver of the car Kakyoin knocked off the road earlier and tries beating them up, which resulted with this happening between them and Jotaro's group. The ones not in the brawl are Kakyoin and the Runaway Girl. Joseph apologizes to Risotto Nero for his group's hotheaded behavior and Risotto forgives him. Risotto mentions that the other La Squadra di Esecuzione members are like that, too. | |

Homestar Runner: Near the end of "The Reddest Radish", a big ball o' violence breaks out over the stolen radish, with Homestar and Pom Pom on one side and Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat on the other. Subverted in "In Search of the Yello Dello", when the Tic-Tac-Toe-like represented people (An O playing one and multiple X's playing the others) get into one after the O represented person runs next to the X's, causing the the O and X's disappear after the dust clears. In the Strong Bad Email "myths and legends" when constellations of the Strong Badia flag's snake, the guy with the big knife, a hand giving the "OK" symbol, a board with nails in it, General Tso's chicken, a fish with an afro, and a marathon runner sporting a Union Jack singlet get into one while they are fighting. The 20th anniversary special "Homestar Runner Goes For the Gold" had a smaller version of this happen when The Sneak cripples Mr. Bland. |

Magister Negi Magi: One of these forms between the (not-yet-named) Ala Alba when Chao gave them her family treenote Basically, she's the descendant from the future of The Hero, meaning that she holds the ultimate spoiler regarding his future wife. In a (more or less) Harem Series filled with dozens of Love Interests, this makes her family tree the most powerful weapon yet thus instigating the party's first ever (purely in-fighting based) defeat. | |

Used in the Brazilian comic Monica's Gang for when a fight occurs, mostly the Curb Stomp Battles Monica has with the boys. Random body parts such as heads, arms, etc. poke out of the ball in different places. Its teen spinoff manga is also notable for using this trope. | |

The Super Robot Wars Advance original mech Soulgain has an ultimate move named Code: Kirin, which in its Super Robot Wars: Original Generation appearances or the PSP remake had that mecha throw a lot of Kamehame Hadokens to create a mountain of dusts... then the mecha will enter the dust and temporarily turn it into a Big Ball of Violence, then throw the enemy out... for more violence. | |

Dragon Ball Z used this interestingly when Super Vegetto is fighting Super Buu. Buu, enraged at the fact that he is clearly outclassed, gets so angry he lets out an enormous cloud of steam, then laughs at Vegetto, mocking him for not being able to hit what he can't see. Unfortunately, Vegetto dives into the cloud and proceeds to brutally pummel him — the cloud of steam looking exactly like a regular Big Ball of Violence minus the little stars and spirals. | |

In The Bartimaeus Trilogy there is a rare serious example with Faquarl. He is a deadly djinni with a penchant for cutlery, and is an incredibly fast and effective shapeshifter. Close combat with him is always described by Bartimaeus from a distance, and as a whirl of violence with an occassional severed limb flying out. | |

Several instances in the Leisure Suit Larry 1: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards could lead to Larry getting caught up in one of these, most notably running into a mugger in a dark alley. What's hilarious about the scene is that the mugger apparently bails out of the dust-up after a while, leaving Larry to carry on the Big Ball of Violence... by himself? It's clearly not a bug, due to both how long it lasts and the fact that the gag returns in both remakes. This actually counts as Yet Another Stupid Death, as Larry somehow manages to kill himself in the process after the mugger leaves. Other Sierra games use this trope whenever you die from a beating such as a wolf in King's Quest I and a mugger in Police Quest 2: The Vengeance. |
