In animation, cool fight scenes draw an audience — but it takes a long time to create. For those who aren’t willing to pour most of their budget into the fight scenes, the solution is to use all kinds of tricks to avoid having to show elaborate movement or visual effects. These tricks include tight first-person perspectives, eliminating backgrounds, and making sure there's as little physical contact as possible between the fighters. There may also be a censorship aspect to it, if the fight would otherwise look too brutal. Making a virtue of necessity, characters may "move too fast to be seen!" as one of their in-world powers. Ideally, they move between static poses in a split second and dramatically hold those poses for many frames, with the melee replaced by a Hit Flash. Or we can always just see a Big Ball of Violence. Typically The Movie will ditch these gimmicks entirely due to the amount of money that inevitably gets put into such projects. Can also be Played for Laughs as a kind of Gilligan Cut - Bob threatens to beat Charlie up, and the next thing we see is Bob being wheeled into an ambulance. Compare Battle Discretion Shot, Relax-o-Vision, Offscreen Moment of Awesome, Coconut Superpowers, Hit Flash, and Inaction Sequence. See also Bolivian Army Ending, Charge-into-Combat Cut, Fight Scene Failure, and Take Our Word for It. When a scene is skipped entirely and only described afterwards, it is Second-Hand Storytelling instead. Do not confuse with a fight unseen. Examples |

Adventure Time: In "What Was Missing", upon finally opening up the Door Lord's door via the power of music, Finn, Jake, Marceline and Princess Bubblegum discover he was trying to teach them a lesson about The Power of Friendship. The Door Lord rejoices, and we cut to the next scene in which he is tied up and badly beaten, showing he wasn't so Easily Forgiven for taking everyone's stuff. | |

A letter to the editor of Batman praised a previous issue for skipping straight from "Batman is about to fight some Mooks" to "Batman is confronting the Big Bad", saying we know Batman can beat up mooks, and by not considering it worth showing, the creative team is indicating they know we know that. The editor jokingly responded that a later issue might skip Batman fighting the villains altogether. | |

Ranma ½: When Ranma is fighting skating martial artist Mikado Sanzenin there is a scene where it appears the latter is spinning Ranma around madly injuring him and preventing a counterattack. Only Akane's sharp eyes are able to see the Ranma is actually pummelling the hell out of him with blows almost too fast to see. It's only after the fight when Mikado's partner, Azusa asks if Mikado won the fight that Akane points out he has actually been knocked unconscious despite still being on his feet. | |

Fist of the North Star: One exceptionally frustrating exception to the rule that "The Movie is more explicit": In the movie, Raoh confronts Shin in Southern Cross. We cut away, and then when Kenshiro faces Shin later, their fight consists of one punch before Shin dies from an attack inflicted by Raoh earlier. For those keeping score, that's two fights the audience is cheated out of. | |

Let the Right One In featured the final fight - all we see is the male lead almost being drowned in the pool (the camera is sub-water too), then suddenly, people from above the water begin to scream, and the hand that is holding the boy down suddenly disappears. Cue showing the bloodbath above. Being a drama with supernatural elements, this really works very well, and doesn't feel like an Offscreen Moment of Awesome. | |

In Marvel Versus DC, the results of seven key matches were determined by fan vote. Wolverine out-polled Lobo, but the writers couldn't think of any way to believably make it happen, so the last blow occurs off-screen as the two (fighting in an alien bar) fall behind the bar. After a couple of Beat Panels, Wolverine is the one who stands up. For the record, back in his home series after the event, Lobo says that "some bald guy" bribed him to throw the fight. | |

The Lost Bladesman usually averts this trope, with Guan Yu fighting his way through hordes and hordes of mooks in multiple large-scale action sequences where he puts his trusty halberd to good use slicing in dicing. But played straight in the scene when he confronts a traitorous general in the latter's mansion - suddenly, forty armed mooks appears from out of nowhere, the general picks up his Epic Flail as Guan Yu unsheathes his halberd, and the courtyard doors swings shut, conveniently obscuring every bit of action, though plenty of commotion can be heard behind the doors. The morning star part of the general's flail then bursts through said door, which opens finally... to reveal Guan Yu standing alone surrounded by dead bodies, said general included. | |

Avoided in Ghost in the Shell (1995), which looks as if it's going to lead into one of these, with Kusanagi being invisible during a fight sequence. What transpires is a thing of absolute beauty, with her presence only being displayed by splashes in puddles and the brutal beatdown her victim receives. And the occasional Invisibility Flicker. | |

Black Lagoon: Most of the firefight between Revy and the Cuban ex-assassin Roberta, arguably the deadliest opponent Revy faced in single combat during the series, was mainly observed from the other side of a stack of shipping crates. Presumably the battle was just too amazing to animate. When the same characters later settle their grudge with a bare-knuckle fistfight, most of it is left offscreen, as other characters dicuss the fight over the sounds of them slugging it out. |

Smallville: In the episode "Society" (also known as "Absolute Justice, Part I"), Chloe Sullivan meets a former superhero named Sylvester Pemberton. When he's suddenly attacked by an ice-wielding villain, Pemberton throws Chloe into a dumpster to protect her. We see the fight from her perspective: mostly the dumpster being rocked back and forth as bright light and battle sounds come through the grate, and the metal is pierced by huge icicles. [1] It's really cool. | |

A handful of fight scenes from BIONICLE's Mata Nui On-Line Game, due to Lego having a fairly strict "no hitting" rule at the time. In contrast to many other examples, these used the trope to great effect. Kopaka VS the Muaka: Kopaka activates the Mask of Concealing, turning invisible for the first half of the fight. We only see his footprints and the flashes of his sword hitting the Muaka. The beast soon sees through his method, and smashes him into a snow-mound, forcing him to switch to another Mask Power. Onua VS infected Lewa: hit flashes punctuating complete darkness, illuminating the combatants standing in various poses. When you think about it, the whole animation isn't all that impressive, but many fans consider it to be one of the best fight scenes — the music track may have something to do with it. |

Bakemonogatari deliberately uses this as a stylistic choice when Araragi faces down the rainy demon. Most of the sequence focuses on his face, brief glimpses of a blow or another, and cuts to typography designs. It's a highly stylized series as it is to begin with. | |

In Christian Humber Reloaded, many of the fights are mainly described as having the main character performing the killing moves on his enemies with his various weapons and abilities, and the quote above shows the author's approach to illustrating the fights. In "Soku's Revenge against Me," the narration immediately transitions from the main character noticing Soku's arrival and recognizing her to regretting killing her (again) in front of the children. | |

Fairy Tail: When Laxus sets up hundreds of objects that will destroy a populated town, a full chapter is spent setting up having all of the guild members come together to destroy them all first, but then we see none of these attacks being launched as the very next page just skips to the explosion(s) made from the objects being wrecked all at once. This was fixed in the anime. The part where Erza fights and defeats a hundred monsters is also done in just one page in the manga. This was also fixed in the anime. | |

Devil May Cry: The Animated Series is, sadly, loaded with these. There is one episode in particular in which Dante gets purposely sent to jail in order to rescue a man under the request of his sister. Inside, Dante finds out said jail is run by demons in disguise who periodically release all the inmates in order to hunt them down. Once the "game" starts, a disarmed Dante calmly gets out of his cell, stands before a bunch of demons and adopts a fighting stance. Cue the fade to black and when we're back Dante is calmly walking away from a bunch of beaten up demons... | |

So, in a scenario of retaking a planet with land forces, the show writers' scenario is that the battle doesn't happen at all - due to this trope, it will become the Defiant battling an orbital defense platform in order to clear the way for Klingon troop transports. | |

Played straight in Wander over Yonder in an episode entitled "The Cartoon" The Watchdogs explicitly stated that they didn't include Hater's fight with Awesome in the cartoon they made because their budget was used up on the fight scene with them in it. | |

YuYu Hakusho: Played with in the Hiei-vs.-Seiryu fight. Hiei blurs around Seiryu a few times, and he falls apart. Then the rest of the team compares notes on how much of the fight each managed to see - he was moving too fast for them, too. | |

The Dexter's Laboratory episode "911" has Dexter resolving multiple crises in hopes of quelling an Emergency Broacasting System that was interupting his Show Within a Show "Action Hank". Unfortunately, nothing seems to work and, not only was it only a test, it was so long, that he missed an epic fight scene. | |

Gravity Falls: In the "Clay Day" segment of "Little Gift Shop of Horrors", some claymation monsters fight, while the main characters watch the fight in such a way that the audience can only see the monsters' shadows on the wall. Someone comments on how expensive claymation is, and Soos adds "This is an impressive fight, though. Sure am glad I'm facing towards it." | |
