Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sometimes, you need to let the Big Bad have it right where it hurts. Sometimes, you just gotta burn that smirk off of The Dragon's face in the most direct and painful manner possible. Sometimes, The Hero deserves to know just how powerful you are when you're Drunk on the Dark Side. Sometimes, you just need to give them the Face Palm of Doom for massive damage. The Face Palm of Doom, named so because it is a Face Palm... of Doom, is basically when you grab someone by the face, or sometimes just by the head, but usually the face, and proceed to unleash the pain by releasing some kind of energy, activating a weapon contained in the hand, or in a more bloody series, crushing it. As you can imagine, such a move is probably extremely painful and is usually pretty high up there in terms of power. Due to the nastiness inherent in assaulting someone's visage, as well as the frightening potential for Eye Scream, this trope is generally indicative of The Unfettered, an Anti- or Unscrupulous Hero, the Obviously Evil, or someone who has had their Berserk Button mashed extremely hard or otherwise reached their Rage Breaking Point. It is essentially the bare-handed equivalent of shooting an opponent executioner-style, and carries many of the same connotations.

Happens at the end of Devil May Cry 4. Except instead of grabbing the face of the False Savior and then releasing the energy, Nero uses the Devil Bringer to project an even bigger hand which is closer to the Savior's scale. Then he just crushes its face. | |

The Destiny Gundam's MMI-X340 "Palma Fiocina" palm beam cannon; despite the name, Shinn never used it as a ranged weapon in the seriesnote The G Generation spin-off Generation of C.E. depicts the ranged version as part of the Destiny's Full Weapons Combination attack. In-universe it's based on the Astray Red Frame, which can channel its battery power through its weapon-powering handplugs, generating a "lightning ball". In his first battle with Gold Frame, Lowe uses a super-charged version that blows up Gold's head, but also takes out Red's right arm. |

In K: Memory of Red, Mikoto Suoh, the Red King, does this to Eric Surt, a Yakuza assassin who's tried to kill him and his followers several times. But it's subverted in that, instead of killing Eric (as he and everyone around expected), Mikoto makes Eric his Clansman, giving him powers and rescuing him from the yakuza group that's held him captive and forced him to kill for them for almost his whole life. Eric appears in the anime as a member of Mikoto's Clan, HOMRA. | |

Bleach: A sign that there's a large imbalance of power is when one combatant grabs their opponent by the head and violently throws them away. Grimmjow does this to both Rukia and Ichigo, while unleashing a Cero at point-blank range. Ichigo's inner Hollow does this to Ichigo during their Battle in the Center of the Mind and the inner Hollow later does this to Ulquiorra, a tit-for-tat response to Ulquiorra having earlier performed the same move on Ichigo. Ichigo eventually becomes powerful enough to grab Aizen by the face and drag him to a battlefield of Ichigo's choice; the man-handling and violence of being thrown to the ground doesn't hurt Aizen anywhere near as much as the damage Ichigo does to his pride. | |

Sagat gets a simpler one starting from his first Zero appearance - no leaping or windmills, just grab and knee as many times as you can buttonmash in. An even earlier example from Sagat comes from his promo art in Street Fighter II◊ where it would later be depicted as him killing Gou Hibiki, Dan's father. |

In Tiger Mask W, Red Death Mask uses the Iron Claw (see the Pro Wrestling folder for info) as a finishing move; his large, powerful hands enable him to easily draw sickening amounts of blood with the hold. Failing that, he has the Red Death Drop, a leaping windmill-motion Iron Claw Slam — he manages to kill a minor character with a Red Death Drop off a cliff. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Scar kills his victims in this manner; he grabs them by the head and makes their bodies disintegrate. Somewhat justified in context, however, as the arm he uses is covered in alchemic symbology tattoos that is used to "deconstruct" the matter of an object (or creature), but because it is alchemy-based he can only use it on things that he understands at least some of the material makeup of, and as his religious faith forbids the study and practice of alchemy, he is only able to use it in the most, well, direct manner. In addition, Kimblee does this as well in the 2003 anime version, making his victims explode. As a matter of fact, Scar's eponymous injury is the result of Kimblee performing a Face Finger Poke of Doom on him. Brotherhood-only villain Isaac McDougal manipulates water molecules with his alchemy. While he only needs to touch his opponent's skin to flash-boil or flash-freeze them, he prefers to go right for the face whenever possible. This is how Ed beats Pride: by grabbing his face, physically and metaphysically, and ripping his soul out of his body. |

One of Testament's throwing moves in Guilty Gear is to grab his opponent's face and impale the victim with spikes extending from his palm. In -STRIVE-, one of Sol Badguy's new moves has him go into his Dragon Install form and charge forward with his hand outstretched. If it connects, he'll grab his hapless opponent by the face and slam them into the ground in a fiery explosion. |

In RWBY, this is how the fight between Weiss and the White Fang Lieutenant ends. He grabs her by the face and slams her head into the ground hard enough to knock her clean out. Then, still holding her face, he throws her up in the air and smashes her through to the next train compartment with his chainsaw. What a brute. The final move in the Volume 5 'Maiden Fight' was Spring Maiden Raven using an electrified palm strike to Cinder's face, knocking her into an abyss. |

One of Chuck Greene's special moves in Dead Rising 2 can involve this. Chuck grabs a zombie's head (whether it's a Face Palm of Doom or not depends on whether the zombie is facing Chuck) and viciously slams its head into a nearby surface, usually resulting in Your Head Asplode. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Sachiel, the Third Angel and the first Shinji has to fight against in the Eva Unit-01, grabs the mecha's head and inflicts it what can be described as an hydraulic pump-like pounding with energy from the Angel's forearms that comes out of the Angel's palm. It tears a hole in the Eva's head, causing a geyser of blood. Fortunately, the Eva goes berserk by itself and destroys the Angel afterwards. | |

Happens in a flashback in Tiger & Bunny when a young Yuri Petrov activates his NEXT power and sets his father's hand alight. Rather than screaming in pain, his dad (who arguably deserved it, incidentally) starts to laugh and puts his hand over his son's face, leaving a massive palm-shaped burn. This is not enough to save him, however. | |

In the Avatar: The Last Airbender episode "Zuko Alone," when Zuko is fighting the thuggish soldiers. He knocks one of the soldiers' weapon out of the way and then grabs his forehead and knocks him down. Also, although there was a Gory Discretion Shot, it's very likely that this is how Ozai gave Zuko his scar. Examine it closely, and the burn is a clear impression of a hand. |

Gundam works: This is one of the Signature Moves of the School of Touhou Fuhai (The Undefeated of The East) in Mobile Fighter G Gundam, represented by protagonist Domon's Shining and God Finger attacks and Master Asia's Darkness Finger. The novelization explains its function and origin a bit, saying that it was made to adhere to Buddhist tenets of Thou Shalt Not Kill, and works by sending Ki into an opponent's head via the palm and the three central fingers, shorting out their motor functions and disabling themnote And yes, this means it can be used outside of Gundams. SD Gundam G Generation even retroactively gave "Finger" attacks to Master Asia's previous Gundams, Kowloon and Shuffle Heart. Similar attacks have appeared elsewhere in the franchise as homages to G: The Destiny Gundam's MMI-X340 "Palma Fiocina" palm beam cannon; despite the name, Shinn never used it as a ranged weapon in the seriesnote The G Generation spin-off Generation of C.E. depicts the ranged version as part of the Destiny's Full Weapons Combination attack. In-universe it's based on the Astray Red Frame, which can channel its battery power through its weapon-powering handplugs, generating a "lightning ball". In his first battle with Gold Frame, Lowe uses a super-charged version that blows up Gold's head, but also takes out Red's right arm. The Turn X's weld-off/destruction manipulator, which Gym even calls Shining Finger. Naturally, crossover games have him and Domon fight all the time. Gundam Build Fighters Try normally averts this since Sekai uses an entirely different fighting style (and since he initially isn't familiar with Gundam, he wouldn't consciously try and mimic the attack the way most of the show's Otaku cast would). However, he does use the attack on two specific occasionsk: in episode 4 he uses the Musha Godmaru (a Super-Deformed, samurai-styled God Gundam) and performs its version of the God Finger, and in episode 20 during his showdown with his Fallen Hero sempai, the "Jigen Haoh Innermost Secrets" attack he uses to end the fight ends with an unnamed Shining Finger-like attack.note because as it turns out, his master is none other than Domon Kasshu himself! |

Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Ganondorf's side-B special move utilizes this. In addition to the "energy attack" part of this trope, he also literally picks his opponent off the ground by the face before exploding their face with dark fire (if the two of them are on the ground), or grabs their face and them slams them back down into the ground (if done in the air) Ouch. It's one of the few things Brawl did to distinguish him from Captain Falcon, of whom Ganondorf is otherwise a Moveset Clone and merely delivers an uppercut or overhead punch with the same command. | |

Actually discussed in My Hero Academia when it's used by All-Might. His narration explains that when you grab someone's face people's natural response is to frantically try to pull your hand off. Being able to predict their next move means the move helps you take control of the fight. Shigaraki tries to do this to Tsuyu during the USJ arc. A last second nullification from Aizawa saves Tsu from getting disintegrated. |

Spider-Man: In The Clone Saga, Kaine uses this as his preferred method of murder, the "Mark of Kaine". He grabs the poor victim's face, then rips it off, leaving them dead and with a gruesome handprint as a souvenir. Ouch. In story arc Grim Hunt, Peter does something similar to one of the villains that was dogging him through most of the arc. Fittingly, it was to avenge Kaine, who was dead. Again. He got better. It should be noted that the Mark of Kaine is simply a stronger version of Peter's "stick-em powers" that Kaine has thanks to his Clone Degeneration. |

One Piece: Miss Monday attempts to punch Zoro's face into the ground at one point. He is completely unfazed, and responds by casually pulling this on her until she passes out. During the Water 7 arc, Blueno attempts this on Franky, unfortunately for him he only succeeds in pissing him off and prompting Franky to give a much more effective Face Palm of Doom right back at him. Whitebeard did the same thing at several points, but using his Quake Quake powers, resulting in a mini earthquake limited to the victim's head. Needless to say, nobody really got back up from that one. The first thing that Bellamy is shown doing post-timeskip is crushing a man's skull with one hand. Sabo, after proving himself to be alive after all, proves his strength by taking out a vice-admiral by crushing his head, complete with the iron mask he was wearing. He seems to be a fan of the move in general, as he puts it to good use later on Jesus Burgess (Blackbeard's right-hand man), complete with some sickening crunching sounds. |

In-universe it's based on the Astray Red Frame, which can channel its battery power through its weapon-powering handplugs, generating a "lightning ball". In his first battle with Gold Frame, Lowe uses a super-charged version that blows up Gold's head, but also takes out Red's right arm. | |

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep: Master Xehanort does a back-of-the-head version of this to Ventus at one point. In the CG version of that scene, he grips Ven's head hard enough to crack his whole helmet before freezing and dropping him to the ground. Ouch. He'll also rarely try it on you while you're fighting him with Terra, though you can escape with button mashing before you get frozen. |

Natsu complains it felt like he tried to melt his face off. During the Grand Magic Games, Natsu grabs Rogue by the face and slams him into Sting before setting his hand on fire and blasting the two of them. Good thing for Rogue he was tough enough to take it. During the Alvarez Empire Arc, Mirajane using Satan Soul: Algeria grabs Heine Lunasea and Juliet Sun by the faces before slamming them into the ground and unleashing enough magic power that it creates a mushroom cloud, decisively defeating them both. |

This is the basis of Genthru's Little Flower attack in Hunter × Hunter: He has the ability to convert his Nen (life force) to take on explosive qualities, and by channeling it through his arms, he can then expel it through his palms. The most common thing for him to do is this trope, grabbing someone by the face and detonating his Nen (but also creating Nen armor for his hands prior, or else he'll blow them up too). | |

In the Grand Finale of Superman: The Animated Series, Superman wins the climactic fight against Darkseid using this move defensively: while Darkseid is charging his Omega Effect, Superman holds his hands to Darkseid's eyes, causing a massive explosion which blackens his eyes and opens up massive, red-glowing wounds on his face. (As his next appearance in the DC Animated Universe would show, they scarred permanently.) And Darkseid is a god. Pretty good move, that. Interestingly, the exact same thing with the roles reversed happens in Superman/Batman: Apocalypse. Superman attempts heat vision at point-blank range only for Darkseid to facepalm him. Cue Disco-Ball-of-Lasery-Doom effect. |

It should be noted that X's attack looks a lot like Shining Finger, due to X being voiced by Mark Gatha (who also voiced Domon Kasshu) at the time. Sigma pulls this on your character in the hard mode of X8. |

FACE, and then causes an explosion in his hand. This causes him to shake out his hand from the pain, and this is the guy who kicks a meteor into your face and can plant his huge sword half-way into the ground with one hand! | |

Dragon Ball Z: Broly loves doing this, as do several villains in the Dragon Ball series. Goku does the top of the head variation during his fight with Kid Buu. He combines it with a ki attack that goes right through the Planet of the Kais. Syn Shenron, in Tenkaichi, grabs people by picking them up by the face and unleashing a volley of ki blasts straight into the face of whichever unlucky schmuck stupid enough to challenge him. |

In the Street Fighter series, one of T. Hawk's specials is grabbing his opponent by the face, leaping into the air while windmilling them around (still by the face) and slamming them to the ground. Sagat gets a simpler one starting from his first Zero appearance - no leaping or windmills, just grab and knee as many times as you can buttonmash in. An even earlier example from Sagat comes from his promo art in Street Fighter II◊ where it would later be depicted as him killing Gou Hibiki, Dan's father. Now, M. Bison/Vega/Dictator does it as his 2nd Ultra, right before he gives you "The Psycho Abortion". Seth's forward throw does this as well, picking the opponent up by the face, and smashing them face first with a heel kick. |

In The Search For Henry Jekyll, Edward Hyde delivers one to one of his victims. Subverted, in that it's only fatal because Hyde slammed the victims head through a fence picket. | |

Official artwork and the title screen for Resident Evil 3: Nemesis both show the titular monster grasping Brad Vickers' lifeless body this way. It seems to be a Shout-Out to the Sagat example above (both properties are from Capcom). | |

In Hellsing, Seras gives one to Zorin Blitz during their fight, intending to crush her face. Zorin retaliates by giving a Face Palm Of Doom of her own, attempting to Mind Rape Seras. This totally backfires, allowing Seras to move ahead with her previous plan, albeit with the addition of utilising a wall as a kind of makeshift cheese grater. Suffice to say the results are quite messy. | |

In Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force, Diego attempts to crush the head of Veyron in this manner. Keyword being "attempts". Then the latter rips out the former's arm and returns the favor much more successfully. | |

Dwarf Fortress, being Dwarf Fortress, allows your adventure character to pull one off. On top of the usual take-downs or throwing them by the head, it brings the additional joy of allowing you to follow it up with gouging and pinching off bits and pieces of their face, including eyeballs. In fact, if you want a viable wrestling character, it's either this or chokeholds. Regular dwarves occasionally do it as well, but usually just snap limbs, or die trying. | |

Tamaki of To Heart 2 has a toned down version, the classic wrestling move the "Iron Claw". It leaves her victim (generally her younger brother) unconscious, after an unsettling cracking noise. | |
