Ludicrous Melee Accuracy is when someone makes an impossibly precise melee attack. Given the Inverse Law of Sharpness and Accuracy, this often means a highly skilled Master Swordsman with a high-quality blade will demonstrate their skill by not hurting an opponent — but making it clear that they could have if they wanted to. Causing Clothing Damage is popular for this purpose (which may result in Defeat by Modesty all by itself), as is slicing hair, while grittier works will opt for a single, shallow cut to the face, which will bleed prettily without actually causing any real harm. The end result is the same either way: it demonstrates that the attack Could Have Been Messy... and the only reason it wasn't is the peerless skill of the attacker.
Of course, there are more pragmatic uses for ludicrously precise strikes. You can use one to pin them in place with your weapon. If the target has a specific vulnerability, then you may need a ludicrously precise strike to Attack Its Weak Point even as it dodges at high speed.
Ludicrous melee accuracy, though not limited to swords and other bladed weapons (and indeed, may even be done completely unarmed), is one of the common forms of Implausible Fencing Powers, and as such is often used by a Master Swordsman. See also Pressure Point, which may need ludicrous accuracy to exploit successfully.
For the Gun Counterpart, see Improbable Aiming Skills.

Adventure Time: In "Blade of Grass", Finn acquires a magical "Grass Sword", which is enchanted to perfectly cut whatever Finn turns it on, something which disturbs Tree Trunks enough to (rightfully) call it cursed.

Fullmetal Alchemist:
King Bradley from cuts through Fu's headband and later cuts the wicks on the dynamite sticks strapped to Fu's chest. He does cut skin in both instance, but it still shows ridiculous precision.
His Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) equivalent uses his swords to cut Mustang's gloves to pieces while leaving his hand mostly intact, after demonstrating that he's able to disrupt Roy's alchemy by cutting any concentrations of Oxygen Roy makes into pieces before they reach flammable levels.

In Muppet Treasure Island, Captain Smollett (played by Kermit the Frog) deftly slices all the buttons and gold trim from Long John Silver's pirate coat. Subverted when Silver gets visibly bored and folds his arms, then says "Excuse me", distracting Smollett enough that the sword flies out of his hand.

In Hero (2002), the nameless protagonist demonstrates his skill with a sword by throwing a bundle of reeds into the air, then holding his sword so that only a single reed is cut perfectly in two as it falls. He also boasts that he can stab someone in such a way that the sword can pass clean through their body without damaging any of their organs, a trick which he uses to fake the death of a wanted assassin.

In The Zero Context Series, this is the outcome of Callista's Quantum Cutters when they're used at their maximum potential. Both a truly ludicrous amount of precision and speed are required for her to be able to reduce something to a mist by cutting through each individual atom in the time it takes to blink.

Displayed in an early Samurai Executioner story, where a criminal takes no pains to defend himself, because he's found an impossible-to-beat way to save himself from decapitation: tattooing the name of a deified emperor on his neck, which the authorities cannot injure in any way. Despite being even more of a By-the-Book Cop as his superiors, Asaemon simply and quickly resolves the issue by cutting out the tattoo in a single stroke, then decapitating the criminal.

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED's Kira Yamato is able to cleanly slice off mobile suit heads or limbs while leaving the chest area where the pilot is intact, typically in only the fraction of a second he's flying by them. He does the same thing in the sequel, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny. It sometimes verges on Blade Spam territory, as we'll see something like one (visible) downward slash, and the target mecha will have all four limbs, its head, and its backpack cut off — while leaving the torso intact. Shinn exploits this, using the easily replaceable limbs of his Impulse Gundam and knowledge that Kira never goes for kill-shots in order to defeat him.

In Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Heero spends some time posing as a student in Relena's school. He gets into a fencing match with a classmate of Relena's who obviously didn't like himnote and is apparently an Expy of Mobile Suit Gundam's Lovable Coward Kai Shiden. The match ends with Heero breaking his foil against his opponent's with a tip to tip clash and then buries it in his facemask, the broken blade stopping roughly an inch from his nose. He understandably freaks out. He does the exact same thing much later in the series, to Dorothy Catalonia. To Dorothy's credit, she doesn't even flinch.

Shigurui: The Kogan school of swordsmanship has an initiation ceremony in which the new student is made to kneel before Master Kogan, and a sticky bean is placed on the new student's forehead. Kogan cuts with his sword, a moment of suspense passes, and then the bean splits while the forehead turns out to be unharmed.

Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple has Shigure.
Early on, Kenichi laments his lack of experience against armed opponents and wonders whom to ask for help. Shigure overhears him and begins giving a dramatic display of her prowess with various weapons in the background in an attempt to get him to ask her. She finally gets fed up with him not noticing her and cuts apart a bead of sweat on his forehead. A few pages later, she cuts up Kenichi's and Miu's clothes using a spoon.
When Kenichi first decides to live at Ryuzanpaku full-time, her initial training is for him to hold up a bunch of apples on his arms, legs, and head for her to cut without cutting him, to help him be less afraid (she thinks).

In Futurama, when Zoidberg and Fry square off in a ritualized dual over a woman, Zoidberg showboats for the crowd by using his claw to slice a letter "Z" into Fry's shirt without touching the skin, then quickly adding a "DR" above it, presumably so as not to be confused with Zorro.

And then there's Memetic Psychopath and Ax-Crazy Blood Knight Khârn the Betrayer, the Chosen of Khorne, who always hits in melee combat. That is, if he misses the enemy, the wounds are allocated to someone on his side instead. "Khorne cares not from where the blood flows, only that it flows", after all.

The climax on Midnight Tides includes a swordfight between Rhulad Sengar, who has the blessing (or curse) of a god restore him to life and heal his wounds when he is killed, and Brys Beddict. Brys wins the duel with literally surgical precision, cutting Rhulad's tendons and motive muscles while avoiding the major blood vessels to keep him from bleeding out.

In the 1998 film The Mask of Zorro, Antonio Banderas's Zorro relieves Catherine Zeta-Jones's character of her night-dress with a few sword slashes. In all film incarnations of the character, he leaves the classic Zorro Mark on a number of people, which only cuts their clothing and does no damage. Zorro is very good at killing cloth.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance has this as a core game mechanic. Blade Mode slows down time and allows you to closely align the direction of your slash, creating a Clean Cut on any enemy sufficiently weakened. While this is usually used to Zandatsu (remove the power source of enemies to recharge your own), you can also use it to sever a cyborg's limbs, reducing them to a useless torso, and awarding you extra points for a "Pacifist Run".
