So you've got a villain shooting at you with his Ray Gun. You really don't want to get hit by it, and you know his A-Team Firing won't last forever... so what do you do? You take out your mirror and use it as a shield, and surprise, it reflects the ray right back at him. Why does it work? Because in fiction, Mirrors Reflect Everything (except perhaps a vampire's image, but that's another trope). This trope is when something that even remotely resembles a beam of light can be deflected using a mirror (and not a Magic Mirror, either, just an ordinary mirror), even though it realistically shouldn't have even stopped it. Or if you don't have a mirror handy, you can substitute anything reflective. Whatever was fired at you will always be deflected, perfectly, without any distortion or loss of potency. Note: only non-justified examples belong here. If it's something that would make perfect sense for a mirror to reflect, like simple laser-light, or if the mirror is explicitly enchanted in a way that allows it to reflect such attacks, it doesn't count. This restriction is necessary to keep the trope out of chair territory. Often overlaps with Attack Reflector, and less commonly Light and Mirrors Puzzle. Cousin trope to Reflecting Laser. |

In Dirty Pair: Dangerous Acquaintances, the bad guys have programmed a spaceship's security system to seal off areas of the interior by lowering raisable walls and to use laser turrets to shoot anything that moves within those areas. The main characters retreat into a bathroom where there are no turrets, then break the mirror and use pieces of it to redirect the turrets' laser beams, first to cut through the nearest raisable wall, and then to destroy the turrets. In issue 3 of the next miniseries (A Plague of Angels), the letter column ran one letter from someone who pointed out that a high-powered laser actually would have quickly made a hole in the mirror. | |

Parodied in Ayakashi Triangle: When Medusa attacks Lu's manor, she knows the "standard" tactic for such an enemy is to reflects its powers back at it with a giant mirror.

The Legend of Zelda has a recurring item in the Mirror Shield, pictured above. In addition to the typical applications (at least in the 3D installments; the 2D games usually just treat it as an upgraded shield), Ocarina of Time has you use it to defeat one Dual Boss by reflecting one sister's magical attack at the other, then absorbing three like beams in a row and spewing the whole charge at the combined sisters in the second phase. And in The Wind Waker, it can reflect freakin' Light Arrows in the final boss fight. You can also reflect Wizzrobe's fire and ice attacks back at him in Majora's Mask, just because in Ocarina of Time (its immediate predecessor) it was used to reflect heat and cold attacks. In the remake of Link's Awakening, every kind of projectile attack bounces back and strikes the enemy that launched it, even rocks and spears, with nothing to suggest that the shield is supposed to have any magical properties. | |

Superman exploits this effect in the comic books. In one series, he uses it to shave. After all, steel razor blades aren't gonna do the trick, are they? Then his powers get swapped for electrically based ones that he has poor control over. The next morning, he tries it again. Lois has just enough time to catch on to what's about to happen before Clark lets it rip. This is also reflected, blasting Clark through the whole apartment, trailing lightning bolts all the way. | |

In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, the Akatsuki Gundam is covered in a golden mirror coating called Yata-no-Kagami that reflects ALL beam attacks. And in a time where virtually every mobile suit is using a beam weapon, this makes it extremely powerful. | |

In the first story of Sideways Stories from Wayside School, Mrs. Gorf threatens to turn all the kids back into apples. Jenny thinks fast and holds up a mirror, which deflects the spell and turns Mrs. Gorf into an apple. | |

Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, when Satan fires lighting at Kage, Jables dives in front of him in an attempt to take the bullet. By pure dumb luck, the lightning hits the shiny foil "JB" logo that Jables had stuck onto his guitar, which reflects it back at Satan and breaks a piece off one of his horns, allowing Tenacious D to perform the spell that sealed him away the first time. | |

In the first arc of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 comics, the Scoobies open a portal to the military base Willow's being held captive. The villains have some kind of laser BFG waiting for them, and open fire the second the portal opens - except the Scoobies saw that coming and have a giant mirror ready. | |

In a Aladdin Edutainment computer game, one of the last activities is to set up a specific arrangement of treasures in the Cave of Wonders. This turns out to allow the ruby given to your party earlier to reflect Jafar's spell, trapping him again in the same vault he was released from in the beginning of the game. | |

An early episode of Sailor Moon pits her against a photography-themed Monster of the Week who traps people in the pictures it takes. She defeats it by standing in front of a mirror, then dodging the photo beam, causing it to reflect right back at the youma. | |

The first Quest for Glory does this, but it's justified since the mirror is explicitly described as having an enchantment on it that reflects magic. | |

In Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh, when playing a video game Lords n Lasers, Shapeshifter Oh finds himself cornered by K-Trong who has acquired the game's Infinity +1 Sword, the Laser Sword. Thinking fast, Oh shape shifts into a Disco Ball, and when K-Trong tries to cut it, the sword instead refracts off of the disco ball, cutting K-Trong into pieces. | |

Rifts has a Magitek mirror shield that can reflect attacks, but this is primarily because it incorporates a spell designed for just that effect. Given the mildly psychosomatic nature of Techno-Wizardry, the mirroring is likely done to invoke the trope to help the spell chains stick. | |

Parodied in the Strong Bad Email "lunch special". Strong Bad is trying to trick Bubs into saying his name backwards (minus the first B), so he holds a mirror up and asks Bubs to say his own name. It doesn't work, and Strong Bad breaks the mirror in a fit of rage. | |

One episode of Star Trek: Voyager had a Viidian ship hide in an asteroid full of natural mirrors which reflected phaser fire (which are not lasers, but some kind of particle weapon). The crew got around this by setting the phasers to a low setting and firing a continuous burst, hitting but not damaging the other ship to reveal its location. | |

In YuYu Hakusho, Yusuke defeats Hiei by bouncing his Spirit Gun off a mirror, since Hiei was fast enough to dodge a direct attack. The mirror in question was actually the Forlorn Hope, which is magic but was never stated to have any attack deflecting power, and was broken in the process. In fact, the villain who had the mirror in his possession asked how Yusuke knew the attack would reflect and it turns out he just guessed. | |
