Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Alice suddenly appears behind Bob, and is ready to attack him. When he notices, she says "I am behind you!" Bob then performs a Flash Step, reversing their relative positions. "No, I Am Behind You." A case of Rule of Cool most of the time, as it would logically require more time and effort to do this instead of just turning around and attacking your opponent. A subtrope of Flash Step. Almost certain to cause a Snap to the Side or an Oh, Crap! expression. Not to be confused with Right Behind Me, which is about having someone surprised about who is right behind them in a non-combat situation. |

Homura does this a few times in Puella Magi Madoka Magica using her ability to teleport short distances, though admittedly, in context it's less that she was trying to gain a vantage point to attack from and more that she was trying to intimidate others into backing down. It later comes to light that the power she used to do this wasn't actually teleportation, but rather a similar-looking application of Time Stands Still powers. | |

Bleach is renowned for doing this. Repeatedly. To meme-creating levels, in fact. It even has a montage◊ dedicated to it. The anime creators even noticed and created a comedy sketch at the end of one episode showing a Flash Step grudge-match between Byakuya and LeRoux. Through repeated application of this trope, they end up travelling backwards out of the room they started in, all the way through Las Noches, and right across the desert outside. Observe. |

Naruto: Kakashi does this to Zabuza during the fight on the river, although with the number of doppelgängers and illusions the characters throw about you'd expect this to be really frequent... Some Naruto video games permit you to do this with the push of a button, usually the same one as block. With careful timing, a fight can turn into an endless repetition of Smoke, Log, Punch! |

Can happen in World of Warcraft when two rogues duel - near simultaneous shadowstep use can make for a very dramatic, if confusing, melee. Even better is when they use it at exactly the same time; because of lag, both rogues will appear behind where the opponent used to be, so they are still apart from each other. |

Kamen Rider Ryuki: Kamen Rider Odin's fighting style involves minimal movements taken from his default Badass Arm-Fold. He can also Flash Step. In his first battle, nobody can touch him, literally. Shinji/Ryuki manages to hit him (with the help of many a sticky note during a time travel adventure)... yet it doesn't do a thing anyway. | |

Buso Renkin: In the manga version of Kazuki's fight with Shusui, the two of them chain a long string of flashes behind each other's backs until they are at the other side of the school entirely when they stop. The in-universe explanation for this is that Kazuki did it on purpose so that the fighting wouldn't destroy the school, and Shusui was humouring him but the mangaka admitted that he did it because he was having trouble plotting out a 2-on-2 duel, so he came up with an amusing way to separate the fighters to make two simultaneous, but separate, 1-on-1 duels. | |

Done often in One-Punch Man. Even lampshaded in the fight between Sonic and Genos, as the former became enraged when he realized that the latter was deliberately trying to do this to him just to show that he was faster. Recently in the manga, Blast did this to Flashy Flash, which was quite impressive as he was known as one of the fastest characters in the series. |

The title character in Pootie Tang does this to Dirty Dee. It starts out framed as a Showdown at High Noon, but the characters magically move closer together as the camera cuts between them until they're up in each other's faces, and eventually standing with their backs turned to each other, at which point Pootie strikes a puzzled Dirty Dee from behind. | |

In God Hand, some mooks may attempt to grab Gene, upon which you see them appear behind him and get ready to suplex him. If you hit the Action Commands in time, Gene will somehow get free and appear behind them to use his own suplex. The enemies can also try to counter your counter-suplex, which can cause this to be repeated several times. | |

In episode 22 of Kill la Kill, during the battle between Ryuko and Nui Harime, after Ryuko reclaims both Scissor Blades, Nui tries to take control of Ryuko's friends, and when Ryuko slashes the Life Fibers she uses apart to stop this, Nui Flash Steps behind Ryuko and drives a needle through the back of her neck — only for Ryuko to appear behind Nui, the stabbed Ryuko turning out to have been an afterimage, shortly before slicing both of Nui's arms off. | |

In the Time Wars series, a common technique in one-on-one fights between time travelers is to teleport behind one's opponent a few seconds ago so you can stab them in the back — hopefully before they notice, or they'll do the same to you. If both fighters are on the ball, the result will be, for a moment, a long alternating line of fighters each trying to stab the one in front of them. The technique is called "temporal fugue", probably in homage to Creatures of Light and Darkness. | |

Dragon Ball Z did this all the time. Character A would attempt to punch Character B, only to have Character B vanish and reappear behind Character A aiming a punch at him. Depending on how evenly matched the fight was, characters might dodge each others' attacks like this multiple times in a row. Possibly the Trope Maker. This is an actual mechanic in some of the later video games. There's a scene during the fight between Goku and Tien where this is competently Played for Laughs. It goes something like "I'm standing behind you!" "No, I'm standing behind you!" "No, I'm standing behind you standing behind me!" Jiren in Dragon Ball Super does this to Goku during the introductions at the Tournament of Power. It actually unnerves Goku, since he can normally keep with these, but Jiren's Flash Step is so fast that he didn't even notice it. |

A crucial element of Ace Combat: Assault Horizon: when you are behind an enemy in dogfight range, particularly skilled pilots can "reverse" the manuever (generally by applying the brakes and doing a barrel roll or a really fast loop) and get behind you. However, there is a very brief moment where you can reverse their reversal, which not only allows you to stay behind them, but also gives you a free critical hit missile shot. Also played straight in one mission, where the Big Bad Akula has singled out your wingman Guts for death. In order to get him to stop attacking Guts, you have to get behind him and activate dogfight mode (much harder than it sounds). As soon as you do so, he immediately pops his air-brakes and loops behind you, as this was what he was waiting for all along. He then proceeds to rip your plane apart. |

Rurouni Kenshin: Kenshin defeats an early opponent this way, by baiting the much bigger opponent into a round of chasing each other into circles with a game of "behind you!", and each time they go around Kenshin made the circle smaller. Eventually, the much larger opponent's body couldn't take it any more and his knees gave out. Cue one very painful ankle-snapping. Kenshin flashes behind his opponent, who then calls him out on dishonorably preparing to attack from behind. This causes Kenshin to hesitate, giving the surprisingly swift guy the opportunity to eat his own words and flash behind him. |
