Two characters conflict, and one is more powerful/more advantageously positioned than the other. This powerful character wants to avoid a fight, and so warns the other party against provoking a decisive clash because it's guaranteed that they will lose. This could be for any number of reasons: The character will go berserk and won't be able to stop himself from maiming or killing the opponent rather than merely defeating him. The attacker is a friend/family member/True Companion. The character is a Martial Pacifist or not willing to be soft, and is trying to offer a Last-Second Chance. The character sees their opponent as a potential ally. The character is evil, but an Anti-Villain, Noble Demon, or otherwise attached to their opponent. The character merely wants the challenger to stop bothering him, and intimidating their opponent into fleeing the fight is a pragmatic way to win without fighting. The fight is likely to get nasty enough to leave even the winner injured and vulnerable to other threats. The character fears that winning the fight will trigger some sort of undesirable consequences—they'll win the battle, but lose the war. The fight will lead to unwanted collateral damage and possibly loss of civilian life that the character is trying to avoid. The fight would lead to allies or neutral parties joining in and quickly escalating out of control. The characters are in a neutral area and the character doesn't want to risk facing the punishments or complications that come from violating that neutrality. Holy Ground functions similarly, but usually involves wanting to avoid violating taboos rather than more concrete punishments. Usually. The character is in disguise or in hiding and can't risk blowing their cover to defend themselves or attracting enemy authorities for a simple fight. The challenger is considered so far beneath the challenged character that they wouldn't want to waste the effort or face the dishonor of humoring them with a "fight". This often comes with a suitably impressive display of power from the challenged character to get their point across. The challenger is either misled, desperate, or otherwise sympathetic enough that the challenged character doesn't want to hurt them. Not to be confused with Why Did You Make Me Hit You? which is where the powerful character blames the victim for provoking a one-sided abuse. Compare You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry! which covers most situations where a powerful character is trying to deter an attack. Has a similar, but opposite effect to Give Me a Reason, where one character does want to hurt the other, and does want the provocation, and certainly will if given. |

Ambience: A Fleet Symphony: In chapter 99, Shoukaku receives a communication from the Abyssal reinforcements warning the Combined Fleet to withdraw, or else. In chapter 106, after another incident that threatens the unity of the fleet, Sanford says that the ship girls had better stop pushing their luck, unless they want him to start giving out punishments. |

The Unstoppable Wasp: In issue 4 of the first volume, Nadia attempts to peacefully resolve a situation between her and wrestling supervillains Poundcakes and Letha. After she's slugged in the face, she drops all pretenses of being nice and shows off the fighting skills she learned in the Red Room. In issues 4 and 5 of the second volume, Nadia's friends within G.I.R.L. confront her while she's in the throws of a Manic episode. They decide the best thing to do is to keep her away from lab until they can get Janet Van Dyne back, which only makes her sleep-deprived irritability worse. It's when Shay snatches her pendant-housed lab that Nadia ends up proving that the apple didn't fall too far from the Pym tree. |

Samurai Jack: Jack's father gave this ultimatum to some bandits who ambushed him and his family. They refused to leave peacefully, forcing him to kill them to protect his wife and son. Jack gives the same ultimatum to the Daughters of Aku before their second battle. Jack kills all but one of the Daughters of Aku, some by lethal weaponry and others by a long fall. In "Jack and the Travelling Creatures", as Jack's fight against the Guardian continues to go downhill, the Guardian stops and suggests Jack leave before he "really gets hurt". Jack refuses and the Guardian resumes his No-Holds-Barred Beatdown. |

Bleach: Captain Kyoraku, one of the oldest captains, shows this on two occasions. In the Soul Society arc, he encounters a hopelessly inexperienced and outmatched Chad. He doesn't exactly beg for him not to attack, but makes an extensive attempt at parley, clearly for no reason other than the fact he didn't want to hurt him. During the Fake Karakura Town arc, he (along with Stark) tries to make the point that a duel between such powerful men would be needlessly destructive (when pushed, he goes to the fucking wall). Jushiro Ukitake simultaneously has one of these moments with the fraccion, Lilynette. When Ichigo picks a fight with the Visored in order to force them to help him control his Hollowfication, Hiyori can't stand his attitude and dons her Hollow Mask in order to fight Ichigo, taunting him and telling him to hollowfy if he wants to even the odds. Ichigo refuses to do so, afraid of what he might do if he loses control. While Hiyori initially has Ichigo against the ropes, he turns the tables the moment he loses consciousness and hollowfies, slamming Hiyori against a wall and strangling the Hollow out of her with one hell of a Slasher Smile plastered on his face until the rest of the Visored pin him down. Hiyori is left on the brink of tears, too stunned and horrified to complain any further. Kenpachi gives a rather humorous variant to Giriko in the Lost Agent arc: it's less "I don't want to fight you because I would kill you" and more "I don't want to fight you because it would be fucking boring". Giriko takes offense to that, however, and buffs himself up to fight Kenpachi, who unamusedly splits him vertically in a single slash while he's still boasting about his alleged superiority. |

Angel and Faith: After Angel makes it clear to Whistler that he does not support his methods, Whistler snaps, punches a hole through Angel's stomach, and comes within a hair's breadth of staking him before he manages to stop and compose himself, remarking that, even after everything that's happened, Angel is still his "favorite kid" and he doesn't want to go through with it. Nonetheless, he warns Angel to stay out of his way because he won't be so lucky next time. | |

Honor Harrington, during peace talks after decade-long wars: This starts becoming par for the course when the Manticorans start having regular encounters with the Solarian League Navy. The SLN is so big its reserves have reserves, but it is also so painfully obsolete that those numbers amount to very little, prompting Manticoran officers to make it clear just how easily they could be destroyed. It's the rare Solly officer who has the intelligence and/or moral courage to Know When to Fold 'Em. |

Fullmetal Alchemist: When Al makes Ed stop trying to beat Tucker to death, and Tucker continues to goad him on. Al tells him that if he doesn't quit, HE'LL be the one beating Tucker. Al is made of nothing but steel like armor at this point, so if he starts beating you, it will hurt a lot more than if Ed gets a shot at you. In "Fullmetal vs. Flame" Col. Mustang has a flashback to Ishval, in a situation with a young soldier he caught off guard, but hesitates to kill. Both Mustang and the boy know that if the kid so much as raises his rifle, Mustang will kill him. The kid does anyway. When Buccaneer asks him to hold the line against the soldiers still loyal to Amestris, Greedling warns them first that if they don't want to get hurt or have a family at home, they should leave right now. Those that stay are the victims of a Terminator-inspired rampage. |

The Night Unfurls: The Hunter is guaranteed to win any fight he gets into due to his bewildering strength and speed. When he encounters potentially hostile people, there are times where he would rather not cause harm and decide to warn them not to mess with him. The warning may or may not be heeded. Chapter 3 of the original version has Kyril, Olga and Chloe reaching the gates of Ken, only to be stopped by two guards who are not happy with dark elves entering the gates. The Hunter grabs one of the guards' gorgets and warns them to get out of his way — should they draw their swords, they would be dead before they leave their scabbards. The two let the trio pass under threat of death. The following exchange in Chapter 8 of the original version occurs when Kyril is faced with nine mooks who intend to block his way to Beasley, showcasing what happens when people don't heed his advice. Kyril doesn't explicitly warn Claudia when she intends to settle their accounts via Trial by Combat in Chapter 8 of the original version. Instead, he asks, "Are you sure about this?". Given that the readers already know that Kyril is simply more powerful, his question carries an implicit message that she will lose if she fights him. Kyril's company enters a confrontation with the Wild Ones in Chapter 21 of the original version, because The Chief's Daughter is in the former's care. Kyril prefers the easy way, so he states that should the chieftain and his men are looking for a fight, they will get one, but it won't end in their favour. The two parties end up negotiating. In Chapter 2 of the remastered version, Alicia is not pleased with Kyril supposedly approaching her cousin Prim, so she threatens to cut him down. Kyril warns her, "You will die trying", leading to a suspenseful moment where either one of them is seemingly about to make a move. He then ends the conversation and leaves, much to the astonishment of others. In Chapter 5 of the remastered version, Kyril is ordered to capture, rather than kill, Olga. When the two meet, he tries to convince Olga to surrender, warning her not to mistake his warning for lack of resolve. She responds by burning him, thinking that will One-Hit Kill him. Unfortunately for her, Kyril is unharmed, and after giving her a chilling "I Warned You", he proceeds to kick her ass. In Chapter 7 of the remastered version, Chloe is not happy with Kyril disciplining her, so she puts a hand on the hilt of her dagger. Kyril would rather not harm her in order to get her liege lady to cooperate, but he warns Chloe against doing anything silly, lest she lose her hands. Chloe obliges. In Chapter 8 of the remastered version, Kyril and the Black Dogs enter a confrontation. Kyril warns the latter not to draw their swords, or else, he will cripple them permanently. The leader, Morgan, gets kicked across the room for not listening. He only manages to survive the chapter because Kyril lets him retreat. In Chapter 20 of the original version, Lily tells a lead thug that there will be violence if he doesn't sheath his weapon. The thug complies and immediately tries to grab her, which proves to be a big mistake as he soon finds himself pinned on the floor with her Church Pick stabbing his shoulder. Even worse, said thug gets brought back for interrogation the hard way. |

With This Ring: When Paul studies the rule of Lord Malvolio, an immensely powerful Green Lantern, his impression is that Malvolio's general ruling principle has been "don't make me come over there." If a problem draws his personal ire, he will use overwhelming force to squash it. | |

During Kyuuzou's early duel scene in Seven Samurai it's mentioned by a spectator that Kyuuzou asked his challenger not to duel him, because he would certainly be killed. Single-Stroke Battle ensues and Kyuuzou is notably saddened by the outcome. Pay attention during the practice duel. Kyuuzou clearly landed a killing blow (if they weren't wielding bamboo shoots). |

Legends & Lattes: The problem with the Madrigal's Protection Racket isn't that Viv, former Barbarian Hero turned café owner, can't handle it—between herself and her friends she could easily destroy the whole mob—but that she doesn't want to go back to that life or to get her coffee shop caught up in it. The Madrigal winds up negotiating with her to give payment in pastries instead. | |

The climax of Chronicle becomes this when Andrew goes berserk with power after his mother dies and his father berates him for it. Matt, whom had been spending the entire 2nd half of the movie convincing Andrew to calm down and control his telekinetic power, continuously pleads Andrew to stop or he'd be forced to do this. Sadly, Andrew doesn't listen, and Matt is forced to do what he has to do... | |

The Dresden Files: Small Favor has Harry witnessing this type of confrontation. On one side is a human possessed by a Fallen Angel who takes the form of a powerful gorilla. On the other side, there is the Eldest Gruff, champion of Queen Titania and, based on the three purple shrouds he wears on a belt, killer of three Senior Councilmembers of the White Council of Wizards in his long life. Both want Harry for their own reasons and the Fallen refuses to back down, despite the Gruff asking him too. He has no conflict with the Fallen, but will defend himself if attacked. It is a quick and painless death for the Fallen's host. Skin Game: Harry gives this to a warlock named Hannah Ascher, who is possessed by a Fallen who really hates Harry. Harry pleads with the warlock to not attack again, to ignore the lies she has been told and stand down. The warlock, fueled by her deep hatred for Harry, launches a powerful fire magic attack. Harry creates a wind shield infused by Soulfire, the opposite of Hellfire, and redirects the blast once again into the ceiling over them. The warlock was so focused on Harry, she didn't notice this was seriously damaging the ceiling until tonnes of rock fell on both of them. Harry was saved only by casting a shield. The Knights of the Cross will try and give these to their enemies if combat permits it. If they can, they will stay their hand on striking the enemy to offer them a chance at redemption and walking away from evil. If the enemy chooses to continue to fight, then the Knight will strike with all their heart against the foe. Strength of a River in His Shoulders is a bigfoot who occasionally hires Harry for jobs involving River's half-bigfoot half-human son, Irwin. In "Bigfoot on Campus" a noble from the White Court of Vampires is threatening and trying to kill Irwin. River makes a big entrance to the scene by throwing the villain's car through Irwin's dorm room window. Said dorm is on the fourth floor. Once River walks in by the entrance he made, he stares at the villain and his ghoul mooks but doesn't continue the attack. He makes a non-verbal version of this trope. The ghouls and villain don't accept it, attack, and River wipes the floor with the twenty-odd ghouls. |

In Supernatural, Lucifer begs Gabriel, his beloved younger brother, not to stand against him, and says this trope nearly word for word. Gabriel retorts that "No one makes us do anything", a criticism of Lucifer's tendency to blame others for his own actions, and attacks him. It doesn't work out well for Gabriel. | |

Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure: After realizing that Mimmi's attempt at remotely removing Evie's mermaid powers was a bad idea, Sirena rushes to the café and finds Cam standing guard at the walk-in refrigerator. Cam refuses to let her pass, so she threatens to turn him into sandwich tuna. He complies right after. Erik considers the rest of the Mako gang his friends, but he also thinks he knows better than them, and is willing to bloodbend them if it means he gets what he wants. Zac and Cam both end up getting magically manhandled by him, while Mimmi knew better than to even try to fight him. |

In Wolf Hall, Thomas Cromwell does everything he can think of to get Thomas More to sign the Oath of Supremacy recognizing Henry VIII as head of the Church in England rather than the Pope. He stalls, sends in More's family, tells him basically to cross his fingers and sign, and asks if he's really unafraid of death as he drags out the matter until Henry's patience is at its limit. Though he admits he is afraid of the axe, More refuses to betray his principles, so Cromwell shrugs his shoulders and gets on with the Kangaroo Court. | |

Averted in A Brother's Price: Captain Tern knows that, if she tries to force entry to the Whistler household, the Whistler girls (the oldest one who is at home at the time is about sixteen) will fight to death, regardless of what she says, as they have brothers to protect. She's not keen on killing little girls, so she decides to wait until the Queen's Justice arrives and sorts it out. She explains this thought process to Princess Rensellaer when asked why she's willing to wait for what could be hours. (Captain Tern would have to kill the girls, as it is her duty to protect the royal family, regardless of how stupid the princesses act. Fortunately, Rensellaer agrees that they should avoid a confrontation). | |

Heroic examples occur several times during the X-Wing Series, when before or during a fight someone—usually Wedge Antilles—will announce his rank, his name, and his affiliation, and then offer the enemy the chance to either surrender or, sometimes, cease fighting and escape. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't he and his forces invariably annihilate the enemy forces, though not always without casualties. | |

The Illusive Man says something to this effect in Mass Effect 3. Unlike the Paragon Shepard who convinces them there's a better way and a chance for peace, Renegade Shepard can end the Geth-Quarian War by basically informing the quarians "The geth are about to come back online and I'm done saving you from yourselves. You want to throw yourselves at them, be my guest." In general, Renegade Shepard will not even warn an adversary - s/he will just destroy them. Spelled out particularly well in the conclusion of the Citadel DLC, where one of the villains has been captured. Said villain banters with Shepard some, and Paragon Shepard warns them not to ever cross paths again. The villain takes the hint. |

In God of War, Kratos typically gives people in his way that he isn't out to kill exactly one chance to either walk away or face his wrath. They typically refuse out of either duty or pride, which almost always spells a bloody death for them. In God of War II, Kratos comes upon Theseus, who blocks his path to the Sisters of Fate. When Kratos asks that he be allowed to pass, Theseus refuses and arrogantly challenges Kratos to a fight, expecting an easy win now that the Ghost of Sparta is no longer a god. To say that Kratos subverts his expectations is putting it mildly. In God of War III, Hercules is the only one to be told to his face by Kratos that "this isn't between them". Hercules, however, disagrees with Kratos and tries to kill him anyway over a personal (if petty) grudge. Kratos responds by caving his face in. In the Norse game, when a mysterious stranger comes to his house looking for trouble an Older and Wiser Kratos firmly tells him to leave repeatedly (even taking a few punches) before deciding to make him. Another example would be Heimdall in Ragnarok, where despite being explicitly prophesized into killing him Kratos repeatedly gives him multiple chances to stand down after overpowering him, including dismembering him after he openly threatens Atreus. He takes Kratos's mercy as an insult and refuses to back down until one of them lies dead- and it's not Kratos. |

The Knights of the Cross will try and give these to their enemies if combat permits it. If they can, they will stay their hand on striking the enemy to offer them a chance at redemption and walking away from evil. If the enemy chooses to continue to fight, then the Knight will strike with all their heart against the foe. | |

He's lying, as his real orders are to kill them either way; Tehar was invaded by the First Order and most of the population slaughtered. They're hunting down survivors who made it off-planet to conceal their growing power from the New Republic. | |

Twice in Codename: Sailor V, in both the first and the last chapter: In the first chapter Sailor V begs the youma Narkissos to stop his attack, as he was also her first love/crush. He doesn't, and to save herself Sailor V hits him with a Crescent Beam, killing him. In the finale Sailor Venus begs Danburite to stand down, as she still sees him as Ace and doesn't want to kill her love interest. He attacks, and Sailor Venus promptly kills him, cementing her change into The Unfettered. |

Late in the second battle over Tokyo in Code Geass, Suzaku finds himself in an insane disadvantage against a furious Kallen, who warns him that she will destroy him if he does not take the opportunity to retreat. Naturally, given his death wish, he stays to accept defeat... which is when his "live" command geass activates and forces him to use the FLEIJA cannon equipped to his Lancelot, forcing a stalemate, and nuking most of Tokyo. Whoops. | |

Small Favor has Harry witnessing this type of confrontation. On one side is a human possessed by a Fallen Angel who takes the form of a powerful gorilla. On the other side, there is the Eldest Gruff, champion of Queen Titania and, based on the three purple shrouds he wears on a belt, killer of three Senior Councilmembers of the White Council of Wizards in his long life. Both want Harry for their own reasons and the Fallen refuses to back down, despite the Gruff asking him too. He has no conflict with the Fallen, but will defend himself if attacked. It is a quick and painless death for the Fallen's host. | |

In the first three acts of 3×3 Eyes, Madame Huang Shunli (a female demon masquerading as a human) has been a loyal ally to the heroes while secretly carrying on her plans to obtain immortality, but still Yakumo got very affectionate to her. To the point that when he discovers undisputable evidence of her plan, he begs her to explain herself (while preparing to defend himself) and even when he manages to pin her down at the cost of having two of his limbs turned to stone until her demise, he still refuses to kill her, quoting all the good things she did for him and Pai. This leads to her having a Redemption Equals Death moment saving Yakumo's life from the real Arc Villain Benares. | |

Tales of Maj'Eyal has the Allure Wars, a conflict between the tricky and ruthless halfling Nargol Empire, and the honorable but intrusively "benevolent" human Conclave. When the Nargol were pushed to the brink of losing, they warned the Conclave that "a great tragedy will ensue if you continue to push further, and do not accept our previously-stated terms of peaceful resolution. Do not force us to do this." Of course, by this point, they'd spent so much time bluffing for tactical advantages that the Conclave was hardly inclined to believe them. The first mass-necromantic attack in history caught the Conclave completely off-guard, horrifying them into abandoning all pretenses of chivalry and ensuring the war would turn into an increasingly vicious stalemate. | |

In the sequel to Alpha and Omega, Shinji calmly requests that Misato order her men to stand down. While the actions of WUNDER have led to the mess they're in, including Councilor Tevos being in a coma and dying, he's willing to resolve the situation without any further violence. However, he also prioritizes Tevos's health over their entire organization and will kill every last one of them if he has to. A few minutes later when confronted with Misato's soldiers, Shinji offers them the same chance. When they decline, he guns them all down and continues on his way. |

When his initial attempts to talk to Bruce fail as Bruce just attacks him before he can finish his sentence, Clark shows how powerful he is in an attempt to convince Bruce that if he was here to fight, Bruce wouldn't stand a chance. Unfortunately, this fails to convince Bruce, who just breaks out the Kryptonite. | |

The Prince of Egypt: In the scene immediately preceding the plague of the firstborn, Moses practically begs Rameses not to let things continue, all the while staring at Rameses's son...who is a firstborn. Rameses not only refuses to release the Hebrews, but decides to finish what Seti started years ago by wiping them all out, vowing that "And there shall be a great cry in all of Egypt, such as never has been or ever will be again!". From here, Moses has little choice but to resign himself to the final plague. | |

Doctor Who: The Ninth Doctor, in "World War Three", offers the Slitheen the chance to walk away and live. As becomes common with villains in the new series, they don't take it. The Tenth Doctor regularly does the Last-Second Chance version to his enemies. From "School Reunion": "The Runaway Bride": He gives the Racnoss Empress an offer to take her and her children to another planet. When she refuses... Kill It with Water ensues. "The Poison Sky" has him put his own life at risk to give the Sontarans a chance to surrender. But they're far too egocentric, and decide having him blown up with them is worth it, so it takes someone else's Heroic Sacrifice to save the Doctor. The Eleventh Doctor gets in on this, too. Twelve in "Face the Raven" almost goes a bit War Doctor when he threatens Ashildr. When Clara is about to be killed by the Quantum Shade, he basically turns into the Master, "I'll bring UNIT, I'll bring the Zygons, give me a minute, I'll bring the Daleks, and the Cybermen. You will save Clara. And you will do it NOW. Or I will rain hell on you for the rest of time." "I can do whatever the hell I like. You've read the stories, you know who I am. And in all of that time, did you ever hear about anyone who stopped me?" He even brazenly admits to not acting in the name of the Doctor any more, which is very very scary. He only seems to back off when Clara orders him not to insult her memory with revenge; even then, his last words to Ashildr are "I was lost a long time ago, she was saving you, I'll do my best, but I strongly advise you to keep out of my way", punctuated with an exhalation that seethes with blood curdling rage: "You'll find it's a very small universe when I'm angry with you." In The Sarah Jane Adventures we see that this behaviour tends to rub off on companions. |

The Logia Brothers: At Whiskey Peak, once Baroque Works learns just how high the Straw Hats' bounties are, Luffy offers that if they don't try anything, it'll be no harm no foul and the crew will simply leave after their Log Pose resets. Unfortunately for them, the Baroque Works agents are overconfident and try fighting them anyway, which doesn't end well for any of them. | |

Said almost word for word in the original Men in Black, during the famous pawnshop scene. NYPD detective James Edwards and "Agent K" from a vague yet menacing government agency are giving a pawnbroker and alleged black market Arms Dealer the Good Cop/Bad Cop treatment when K suddenly straight up puts a bullet through the guy's head. An understandably appalled Edwards immediately trains his own weapon on K and repeatedly orders him to drop the weapon and put his hands up, his exact words being "Don't make me shoot you!" But then things get weird... | |

The Last Days of Krypton: Zod delays attacking Argo City after its mayor turns against him due to Zor-El's earlier cooperation with him in eliminating environmental threats to the planet and because he doesn't want to alienate Zor-El's brother. He also gives Zor-El an hour to surrender peacefully when his army marches towards Argo City. However, once Zor-El outsmarts and humiliates Zod by unveiling a new energy shield that protects Argo City, this attitude vanishes, and Zod becomes very willing to destroy Zor-El (not that he succeeds). | |

In the backstory of Legend of the Galactic Heroes, emperor Kornelias I sent emissaries to the Free Planets Alliance to beg them to accept his rule peacefully and negotiate their entry in the Galactic Empire. Three times he sent emissaries, and three times they were laughed out of the Alliance, whose government was still riding high on their triumph at Dagon, by then the only large scale confrontation of the war. Then Kornelias personally prepared and led an invasion, and bulldozed through the Alliance Star Fleet until a palace coup forced him to turn back. | |

Subverted in Exosquad, when Kaz finally catches up with his long-time rival Thrax and has him at gunpoint. Thrax rather calmly reminds Kaz that no one actually makes him do anything, so whether he does or does not pull that trigger is his decision alone. Kaz is so bewildered by this reply that he lets him simply walk away. This scene is particularly poignant because unbeknownst to Kaz, Thrax has just willingly disobeyed a direct order from the planet's supreme commander to nuke a city so it wouldn't fall to the Terrans, putting him on a short one-way track to be Court-martialed. | |

In Fengshen Yanyi, is not uncommon for the virtuous Chan Taoists to try to talk their way out of a deadly fight against the evil Jie Taoists and urge them to leave if they don't want to lose their lives meaninglessly. Sadly, their opponents are usually annoyed by what they perceive as patronizing arrogance and attack them anyway. | |

When Angel makes it clear that he will not support Whistler's methods, Whistler loses his temper, puts his fist through Angel's gut, and comes dangerously close to staking him before managing to stop himself, remarking that even after everything that's happened, Angel is still his "favorite kid" and he doesn't want to kill him. However, he nonetheless departs while warning Angel to stay out of his way or he would be forced to. |

Harry pleads with the warlock to not attack again, to ignore the lies she has been told and stand down. The warlock, fueled by her deep hatred for Harry, launches a powerful fire magic attack. Harry creates a wind shield infused by Soulfire, the opposite of Hellfire, and redirects the blast once again into the ceiling over them. The warlock was so focused on Harry, she didn't notice this was seriously damaging the ceiling until tonnes of rock fell on both of them. Harry was saved only by casting a shield. | |

Star Wars Legends: Heroic examples occur several times during the X-Wing Series, when before or during a fight someone—usually Wedge Antilles—will announce his rank, his name, and his affiliation, and then offer the enemy the chance to either surrender or, sometimes, cease fighting and escape. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't he and his forces invariably annihilate the enemy forces, though not always without casualties. Star Wars: Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil: Jixtus issues a double threat to his "ally" of the Kilji Illumine: The novelization of Revenge of the Sith has a moment when future Imperial commander Lorth Needa, commanding two old and battle-damaged ships, demanded Grievous surrendered or else he'd have his ship destroyed. Grievous obviously didn't take him seriously... Forgetting that his ship had damaged engines due Needa's previous actions and that he could call for back-up-as he did. |

Dragon Ball Z: Gohan begs Cell to give up his plans and surrender peacefully, because Gohan knows that if he should enter his Unstoppable Rage mode, he'd utterly annihilate Cell, and he doesn't wish that on anyone, not even a monster like Cell. Cell, however, decides that he wants to see this fantastic power for himself. He gets his wish, and it does not end well for him. Goku repeatedly warns the Ginyu Force that they don't stand a chance against him and should just scram. They end up trounced by him (and finished off by Vegeta). He tries something similar when he first goes Super Saiyan in his fight with Frieza, though Cruel Mercy was also a factor. In a villain example, before Frieza increases his power to 50%, he offers Goku the chance to come work for him, saying it would be a shame to destroy such talent. When Goku says no, Frieza is quite upset about it, saying what a complete waste it is, along with how stupid the Saiyans were for not remaining his faithful servants. |

Sun Tzu advised this in The Art of War, saying that "supreme excellence" in wartime isn't winning every battle, but making the enemy back down without fighting. He thus advised a general to make it known to the enemy that, should they escalate a conflict, they would be swiftly and mercilessly destroyed.note Though a lot of what Sun Tzu advised would now be considered war crimes, the sentiment was to express the idea of "I don't want to fight you, because if I do, I will show you no mercy." | |

The clergyman orders his daughter Wilmarina to remind the Hunter of his place, which ended up in vain. Cyril later gives William another warning: send anyone after him, these people die; send her daughter after him, his bloodline ends. | |

In Young Guns II (and various other depictions of the life of Billy the Kid, such as Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid), for a period of time Billy is captured and while in captivity he makes friends with one of the deputies, an amiable but dim-witted man named James Bell. When Billy makes an escape attempt, he gets the drop on Bell, and despite pulling a hidden gun and warning Bell not to do anything, Bell makes a move of some kind. (In the Young Guns version he starts raising the rifle he's holding as though he might shoot Billy, in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid version he gambles that Billy wouldn't shoot him in the back and turns to walk out of the jail and get assistance from another deputy). After Bell ignores his warnings, Billy promptly shoots him. | |
