Being a Mook is a hard (and short) life. If you're not constantly getting killed, you're getting knocked out by the Hero. Some Mooks, instead of following the rules of Mook Chivalry, try getting smart by sneaking up on the hero when they're busy fighting another fellow Mook or while in conversation with someone, and striking them from behind. Sounds easy, right? They're not even looking your way, throwing punches or talking. All you have to do is be silent... just a little closer... *POW* Nope, not only do you still get knocked out (or shot down), the Hero doesn't even give you the courtesy of looking your way first. And of course, you just made them look that much cooler. Compare Foe-Tossing Charge, only even more humiliating for the poor sap(s) on the receiving end. Also compare Dangerous Backswing, which happens in a combat situation and may or may not be accidental. Very commonly featured in a work that is Rated M for Manly. Users of this move tend to have a Badass Back. There is a certain amount of Truth in Television to this: The reverse kick is a fairly viable move. See also Excuse Me While I Multitask and Autopilot Artistry. Has nothing to do with Backhanded Apology. |

At the beginning of Midori Days, the main character is ambushed from behind by the girlfriend of a gangster he beat up at the story's start... and smacks her down without looking. Or, rather, he wasn't looking - Midori, attached to his right arm, heard her coming and acted defensively. | |

He sprints after Rey only for another Protector to come up behind him and shoot at him. Ben keeps running as he shoots behind him and hits the guard with a head shot without even turning to aim. | |

In every game after the first, Dante can fire one of his twin pistols in a direction he's not facing, a move referred to as "Twosome Time"; notable in that Dante will frequently pick improbable poses for this (i.e. firing forward and left has him point his left gun forward and his right one behind his back). There's also a move that lets him swing his shotgun around like it's a nunchaku, hitting enemies in every direction without specifically having to turn towards them. | |

In Devil May Cry 5: When the Fury is first introduced, it tries to perform a sneak attack on Dante, only to be pushed back by his finger. In the scene leading up to the final battle, Nero does this to Dante with one of his Devil Bringer wings/arms to stop him and Vergil from trying to kill each other. Dante and Vergil deliver a simultaneous one to Nero when they leave for the Demon World to cut off the Qliphoth's roots and Nero tries to stop them towards the end. |

In Suikoden V, Dolph's super move during his duel consists of him Flash-Stepping behind his opponent and stabbing them in a vital spot. However, if Lyon's the one dueling him, and the player pulls off a successful guard, she counters the attack by quickly twisting her blade around and stabbing behind her without even looking. It's a small CMOA for her especially since Dolph nearly killed her with that same attack earlier in the game. | |

In Fallout: Nuka Break, after Twig's Nuka-Cola-Quantum-powered Shishkebab melts from its own heat, he receives the Nuka Breaker as though it were an 11th-Hour Superpower. He triumphantly charges towards Big Bad Leon Swallow to stop him from executing Big Good Paladin Ron... except he's stupid enough to scream while he does it, which easily tips Leon off to his presence. Leon elbows Twig in the face when he gets close enough, then turns around and stabs him with his sword. | |

Angel: A variation in "Deep Down" with a considerably more badass Wesley on the other side of it. Justine picks up a wrench, then when Wesley calmly threatens to take away her toilet bucket she puts it down again. That one could be explained as Wesley seeing her reflection in the glass (he was steering a boat at the time). A classic badass example is when Faith is interrogating a demon in a bar, while Wes watches. The demon starts getting cocky when he sees another demon sneaking up on Wesley... until Wes reaches behind with a shotgun and blows his face off. Which should grow back on that species. |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Pride manages to do an offhand backhand stab to a subordinate who has outlived his usefulness. Barry the Chopper then manages the same on a foolish guard who chose to investigate, with an axe, which of course it nailed him square in the head. And it was great. Scar uses his destruction on Gluttony, who was sneaking up from behind. |

In Fist of the North Star, one would-be Hokuto Shinken wielder is stalking Kenshiro through a town. When he pounces, Kenshiro backhands the faceplate of his helmet in. The punk puts his thumbs into the side of Kenshiro's head in Zankai Ken fashion, announces "You are already dead!", and counts down from ten... exploding on the zero. When Kenshiro backhands you, he knows where to hit. | |

Major Grom: Plague Doctor. When he first sees the Plague Doctor in action burning a man alive, Cowboy Cop Grom decides to forgo the heroics and play it safe, imagining a scenario where he throws a rock at the back of the Plague Doctor's head and knocks him out, then walks up and slaps the cuffs on. It's a good idea right up to the moment when the Plague Doctor catches the rock without even looking behind him. | |

Tower of God: Exaggerated during the Workshop Battle. One of the regular contestants tries to challenge the famous Baragav, but he ignores him. When the guy gets angry and tries to attack Baragav from behind, Baragav makes his head explode without making any kind of move. In "Last Station", Khul Nissam Kay attacks Evankhell from behind and above (both are flying) with a big bladed weapon. She blocks it with her arm without turning around; this doesn't surprise him, maybe because he attacked her on the basis that she was the strongest opponent, but when she breaks the blade after a bit of banter, that does. Then he tries some kind of big magic attack, and she deflects it back at him without turning. Then she beats up his minion, still from the same position without turning. |

Total Drama: While Gwen is showering in "Hide and Be Sneaky", Heather and Leshawna are doing their makeup. Heather turns on the hot water to leave Gwen in the cold. Leshawna continues with her mascara until Heather drops her defense, at which point she smacks her free arm to the side into Heather's face without taking her eyes off the mirror. Heather goes down, but also gets back and a fight ensues that escalates rapidly. As Lindsay goes around asking people if they are Tyler in "Haute Camp-ture", one she asks is Eva. Eva is eating steaks at the time and in no mood to deal with such a question, so after a beat, she grabs a steak and slaps it backwards into the other girl's face. It temporarily knocks her out. In a segment of previously unaired footage of Harold's time on the show in "Aftermath I: Bridgette Over Troubled Waters", he's being a nuisance to Justin who's busy peeing. Without stopping or looking up, Justin forms a fist and swings to his right to knock Harold out of his personal space. In "Greece's Pieces", Cody is upset when he learns that Duncan, a bully already in a relationship with Courtney, has been cheating with Gwen, the girl Cody's been crushing on since meeting her. Duncan is unaware the cheating has been made public when he comes up from behind to insult Cody over his outfit. Entirely done at this point, Cody doesn't even look at him when he socks him in the jaw. Despite half the team's wish to lose the challenge so they can vote Gwen off for her cheating with Duncan, Cody nets Team Amazon victory in "Greece's Pieces". Gwen softly cheers, prompting Courtney, the victim of the cheating and who's standing right before her, to smack her hand backwards into Gwen's face. Not only does she not turn around for it, she even closes her eyes while she swings her arm. Mike fights his other personalities for control in "Grand Chef Auto". He gets some control when he hears Zoey call out to him and gets up to face all but Vito, the strongest of them who's trying to sneak up on Mike from behind. With a clear goal set, Mike backhands him without taking his eyes of the others. |

World of Warcraft: The intro cinematic for The Burning Crusade features a variant on this, with a Forsaken mage obliterating a trio of murlocs coming up on him from behind with a Blast Wave spell, and a more regular example with a draenei paladin and his hammer. One watching might feel that "THAT HAS TO HURT!" When Tyrande arrives to kill Nathanos in the Plaguelands, she slowly stalks towards him. When two of Nathanos's blighthounds run toward her from behind, she obliterates them with Moonfire blasts without breaking stride or looking back. |

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja: In "Meet the Doctor and His Friendly Staff", the Doctor does this to a guy trying to sneak up on, not himself, but on Judy. You can still see from the angle of his arm that he's not looking that way. Dr. McNinja against a Pterosaur. He also does the gun version. With a shotgun. |

Supergirl (2015): In "Mr. and Mrs. Mxyzptlk", Mxy "helps" Supergirl catch some bank robbers by using his magic to turn their own guns on them. Supergirl rushes in front of them to block or catch all the bullets, and when one of the robbers thanks her she elbows him in the face. | |

In Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Gentleman Ghost grabs and throws Deadman in this manner. In an earlier episode, Batman does an Offhand Backhand underwater. Yet another episode has Green Arrow doing it between launching arrows fires in a single movement so fluid it almost looks like an accident. In "Mayhem of the Music Meister", this is done by Black Canary to mooks while singing about Batman. In "A Bat Divided", Batman not only does the offhand backhand, but while the victim is standing stunned, he grabs him by the head and throws him forward over his shoulder. |

In Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening: Dante does this in many forms in his intro. Some notable ones include kicking a mook that is being dragged with him because said mook's scythe is stuck in him and another blade by cutting down a ceiling fan onto the mooks below using a scythe blade lodged in his chest. All that and he's just walking over to his jukebox. Vergil also pulls an incredibly badass one of these on a Hell Vanguard, delivering an inhumanly fast Diagonal Cut with Yamato. |

Spider-Man 2: Doctor Octopus takes it to another level: When Mary Jane grabs a 2x4 and starts advancing on him, he uses two of his mechanical arms to snatch it out of her hands and knock her to the floor, all without taking his eyes off Peter. Of course, it's possible the independently intelligent tentacles did it all on their own. The film seems to imply that since the tentacles are basically connected to his mind, they can feed him information about his surroundings from their own built-in sensors (and if you watch closely, one of the tentacles was indeed "looking" at MJ before she struck). A similar thing happens during his first battle with Spider-Man. His back is turned completely to the direction Spidey is coming from, yet one of his tentacles seems to spot him coming. Ock then turns around throwing bags of money at Spidey as an attack. |

Team Service Announcement: In "Scout Combat", the RED Sniper does this with his sniper rifle because the BLU Scout only knows how to run in straight lines, screaming all the way. For further hilarity, Scout just turned a corner when the Sniper rolled his rifle over his shoulder and fired. The bot Pyro in "Fake Players" does this with a rocket. Alas, it's his only stroke of brilliance. |

In Roxanne (based loosely on Cyrano de Bergerac), CD (Steve Martin) pulls this off after his Moment of Awesome showing up the bar fly who (poorly) insulted his nose. After the humiliated guy tries to hit him, CD counters and brings his fist up backwards into the guy face. As the guy stands there stunned, CD walks nonchalantly back to his table, not looking back, and asks his companions "Has he fallen yet?" just as the guy drops to raucous cheering. | |

Subverted in a somewhat early storyline in Fans!: Shanna Cochran is the Mundane being slowly drawn into a world where truly strange things happen and she is less prepared than her friends, so at one point when she is about to be attacked by government agents, she attempts an Offhand Backhand, not considering that the agent is bigger, stronger, and more skilled than she is. He proceeds to catch her arm and, with the help of his partner, actually lift and carry her bodily away- while she is still in the Offhand Backhand pose. | |

In The Bourne Series, the eponymous character frequently pulls this off during fist fights: while focused on one mook, another will sneak around behind Bourne and attempt a sucker punch.

Gun Kata practitioners in Equilibrium and works influenced by it do this all the time. In that film, Preston even pulled off one backhand with a sword: as two mooks attempt to off him, he stabs one sword forwards and one sword back, instantly killing both attackers. Prior to that, he began the same fight by unsheathing the sword of the mook standing behind him and slashing the one in front of him in the face. The sword to the back was a sheath that he pulled off one attacker and sharpened into a killing point by blocking an attacker with it such that half the sheath was sliced off. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: In Iron Man 2, Black Widow does an offhand pepper spray right after beating up a hallway full of thugs, not even bothering to look at the guy as she does it. In The Avengers (2012), Hawkeye doesn't even turn his head or blink as he fires exploding arrows at a Chitauri squadron. Thor: The Dark World: Thor, while being brutally beaten by Kurse, tries to summon Mjolnir, but the Dark Elf backhands it away without even turning his back from Thor. Avengers: Age of Ultron: Hawkeye pulls it off beautifully when Scarlet Witch tries to Mind Control him. Been there, done that — not a fan. Captain America does this on the broken bridge as he is staring at the ground receding below him and one of Ultron's drones comes up behind him. Thor: Ragnarok: Big Bad Hela finishes off Volstagg and Fandral with her deadly blades without even looking at them. Black Panther (2018): When rescuing the women from human traffickers one goon shoots at T'Challa from behind. The bullets bounce off his Vibranium armor and he strolls over to a humvee, rips its door off and throws it behind him taking the thug out. In the Final Battle of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Spidey, seeing through Mysterio's last illusion, grabs an invisible Mysterio, who was trying to sneak up on him, all while staring at the seemingly beaten Mysterio on the floor. |

Grrl Power: The setup of the strip doesn't make it obvious at first, but you can deduce from her final position that Maxima is knocking out a hulking brute without even watching at the beginning of the superhero free-for-all (and the strip's title, Backhands and Commands", spells it out). She's also doing that while giving orders, making it a case of Excuse Me While I Multitask. Shortly after, Math throws a knife at Heavenly Sword (who barely deflects it with her shinai) without looking and while talking to Maxima on the coms. |

Bonecrusher backhands her the minute she engages, he was busy beating on Blurr at the time, and only after that did he and the rest of the Constructicons notice and engage her. | |

One-Punch Man: Saitama does this accidentally to Garo, sending him spinning through the air, because he wants to avoid being seen with him after they both left a restaurant without paying. Garo, on the other hand, was trying to kill him. It's the third time Saitama knocks Garo out in passing, but neither can remember the earlier times because Garo has been losing his memory of the events due to the trauma, and Saitama can't remember everyone he punches. | |

In an episode of New Tricks, Sandra Pullman enters her car only to find a man in the backseat putting a gun to her head and saying he's going to shoot her in revenge. After half-accidentally softening him up by thinking out loud and coming to new conclusions about the current case, which is personally relevant to him, making him lower the gun and start angsting, she tells him to stop whining and punches him out without turning. | |

Jackie Chan Adventures has Uncle establishing himself as an Old Master when he grabs a broom, that Jade just used to trip a mook, and comments to "leave the rough stuff to Jackie" then uses the broom to gut punch said mook after he walks behind Uncle. Uncle does it again in another episode when he's examining ancient text on a wall while a big fight is going on around him. Hak Foo lands behind him after being thrown across the room and is about to jump back into the fight when Uncle casually kicks him out of the way with an exclamation of, "You are blocking my light!" |

Stargate SG-1: Similarly to the first Discworld examples above, in one episode Teal'c outmaneuvers a Person of Interest by not following his partner to the back door and instead waiting on the lee side of a Dumpster and sticking his arm out right in the suspect's face as he sprints past. In a later episode, Teal'c while brainwashed by Apophis gives a casual backhand to O'Neill to shut him up. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Aang does this with the Big Bad in the finale using the skills he learned from Toph. He also does this to a boulder when he was storming the Earth King's palace. Much earlier, Admiral Zhao does this to a North Water Tribe warrior wannabe who tries to attack him during the Siege of the North. Of course, one would have had to be blind and deaf not to see that idiot coming after he announced that he was attacking. A non-violent version of this trope appears in The Legend of Korra: Korra, Asami and Mako, recently reunited, embrace each other in a group hug. When Prince Wu tries to join in, he runs into Korra's outstretched palm and is kept at arm's length. Earlier in Korra, during her sparring match with Toph, Korra tries to hit Toph with Waterbending and is smacked down before she even finishes lining up for the strike. |

The big bad of Interesting Times, another Discworld book, does this on a sneaky assassin. With a sword he just finished making seconds ago. Sizzle indeed. Followed momentarily by a footnote on the precise details of quenching a recently-forged sword in a person. Oddly enough, this is Truth in Television to some extent. |

The Legend of Zelda: In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, while Link is targeting one enemy and another sneaks up behind, he can strike both with one wide swing if they're close enough. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has an even better one: the Mortal Draw skill. Stand still with your sword sheathed, and if you time it right, you can draw the sword and kill the enemy behind you in a single swipe. In one flashback in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Urbosa casually snaps her fingers without turning to face the Yiga footsoldier plotting to attack her from behind. Given Urbosa's power over lightning, said Yiga eats a thunderbolt that instant. |

In Mass Effect 3, after the final battle with Kai Leng, a Renegade interrupt allows you to do this, breaking his sword as he sneaks up on you to shank you from behind, just before using your omniblade to end him once and for all. Given the crap that Kai Leng has pulled on you all game, this is a very satisfying way to take him down. Shepard even makes it clear to Kai Leng how satisfying this is to him/her right before he dies. | |

Batman: It's practically a signature of the Dark Knight to leave one mook not a complete heap so he can backhand him when he tries to sneak up. Sometimes even Batman can be bested.◊ By Elmer Fudd of all people. In the first issue of Batgirl (2009), Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown do this in sync◊. In the second-to-last issue, a group of heroines show up to help Batgirl contain a prison riot. During the fight, Slipstream attempts to sneak-attack Supergirl, and she just lets his face crash into her fist while checking the condition of her nails. In Batman (Grant Morrison), Damian slaps a ninja while walking down a hallway. |

Batman is very, very good at this. In fact, one ad for The Animated Series on Kids' WB referred to this move as "Sucker Punch the Guy Behind You". He does it with such frequency that the average mook is less likely to land a hit if he's approaching from behind. On the other hand, one episode had guest character the Creeper do this to a few mooks, then Batman himself without missing a beat. Another episode had Harley Quinn do one to herself when she doesn't think through an attack on Supergirl. |

Girl Genius: Klaus Wulfenbach does this to knock out an inconveniently located henchman. This is the reason of Von Pinn having a Monocle Pop since Jägermonsters has been shown driven through a brick wall by the recoil of an oversized machine gun without injuries more serious than a nosebleed, and able to joke in a noose or upon losing an arm — the first indication we get that Baron Wulfenbach is superhumanly tough himself. Gil pulls this off with a throw in this page. A more sideways instance takes place between henchmen. And now Zeetha shows her skills, too. Lampshaded by Bang when Gil does an offhand backboot on her. Ruxala from the Wespiary Squad offhand-headshot a warrior wasp behind her back while crying. And again, while half-conscious from pain due to a gut wound. Tarvek's turn, socking Othar without looking while busy smooching Agatha. Princess Larana of the Deep Realms, as part of taking over the throne from her father, knocks out his Gesterdam advisor with an offhand elbow jab. |

Gundam: In Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Seravee does this with a beam saber to a GN-XII, (so it’s more like Offhand Beam Saber). Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn: During episode three, the Unicorn Gundam is fighting against two Geara Zulus. After using its shield to block a beam rifle attack it uses the beam saber on its right arm to slice off the flanking Geara Zulu's weapon arm, stabs through the left side of its cockpit, and tosses it aside. All within the span of about two seconds. In an early episode of Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Domon butts into the Gundam Fight between France and Cuba's champions. While the French fighter simply chews him out for breaking the Gundam Fight's rules, the Cuban tries to attack him from behind. Domon deals with him by casually activating the Shining Gundam's beam sword while it's still in the hip sheathe, causing the blade to pierce and destroy the Arachno Gundam's head. |

Asterix movies: During the last of The Twelve Tasks of Asterix, Obelix and Unhygienix start beating dozens of Romans this way, totally unaware of their presence, all while arguing about who should get the fun on this last task. During Asterix Versus Caesar, Obelix asks if he can be nice to the other gladiators, while taking them out with offhanded attacks. In Asterix and the Vikings, after exiting the Viking's club, Obelix casually does this to a bouncer Asterix had earlier knocked out to get in. He takes no notice because he's sad that Justforkix has insulted him. |

RoboCop too shoots without looking, but he pre-targets the bad guys in his computerized head. Given the satirical tone of the series, this is almost certainly done tongue-in-cheek. The 2014 movie plays it straight when Andre Daniels tries to shoot Robocop when the latter turns his head away to look at his partner. Robocop does a Quick Draw and shoots Daniels without even looking at him. |

Kamen Rider Kabuto: Done with his Rider Kick; any Monster of the Week that tries to attack him from behind gets an energized roundhouse kick to the head for its trouble. This is so far the only time in the whole franchise that the Rider Kick has taken this form. Gatack tries imitating it in the Hyper Battle DVD as part of his attempt to be more like Kabuto; unfortunately, he can't get the timing right and keeps getting smacked, all while Kabuto looks on and winces. |

Mat Cauthon of The Wheel of Time series does this accidentally in the third book by shouldering his quarterstaff. Justified by Mat's supernatural luck. In a later book, after losing an eye, he randomly tosses a dagger behind him while in the woods and kills a rabbit for supper. The way he figures it, luck works better when you're not looking anyway. |

Devil May Cry: In every game after the first, Dante can fire one of his twin pistols in a direction he's not facing, a move referred to as "Twosome Time"; notable in that Dante will frequently pick improbable poses for this (i.e. firing forward and left has him point his left gun forward and his right one behind his back). There's also a move that lets him swing his shotgun around like it's a nunchaku, hitting enemies in every direction without specifically having to turn towards them. One recurring trend in cutscenes involves gunslingers like Dante, Nero and Trish shooting demons surrounding them without even looking behind. In Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening: Dante does this in many forms in his intro. Some notable ones include kicking a mook that is being dragged with him because said mook's scythe is stuck in him and another blade by cutting down a ceiling fan onto the mooks below using a scythe blade lodged in his chest. All that and he's just walking over to his jukebox. Vergil also pulls an incredibly badass one of these on a Hell Vanguard, delivering an inhumanly fast Diagonal Cut with Yamato. In Devil May Cry 4: The introduction of the first Alto Angelo. Dude doesn't even stop walking to kill the two Assaults that rush him. Dante finishes Echidna by shooting at her without even looking. Nero pulls off one with Yamato at the end of the final battle against Sanctus Diabolica. In Devil May Cry 5: When the Fury is first introduced, it tries to perform a sneak attack on Dante, only to be pushed back by his finger. In the scene leading up to the final battle, Nero does this to Dante with one of his Devil Bringer wings/arms to stop him and Vergil from trying to kill each other. Dante and Vergil deliver a simultaneous one to Nero when they leave for the Demon World to cut off the Qliphoth's roots and Nero tries to stop them towards the end. |

One Piece: In the Ice Hunters arc, Luffy does this to one of the bounty hunters, Hockera. In a subversion, though, Luffy's not even fighting him—he's fighting two other bounty hunters while Hockera attacks Chopper, and Hockera gets nailed when Luffy snaps his arm backwards. Luffy's not even aware of what happened until Hockera whined at him for interfering in someone else's battle (which, for the record, he would never do on purpose). When Luffy fights Zoro on Whiskey Peak, they give each other their full attention—despite Zoro previously having been about to engage Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentine. The latter two get pissed that they are being underestimated and proceed to launch attacks at the "distracted" pair, who barely break eye contact or move while fending them off. Sanji invoked this with Jabra by running away and letting Jabra chase and get behind him, then surprising the Wolf Man with a foot to the face. Sanji also defeated Mr 3 without even looking at him. While being attacked by a pack of wolves, when a wolf attacks from behind Inazuma sends it flying with a reversed kick. |

On both occasions no one is shot; it's just a less-than-subtle way of saying "Back off". For bonus awesome points, River's gun remains completely motionless even when she cocks it.

Han Solo proves this isn't just for Force-users in The Force Awakens, casually shooting two Stormtroopers - and then a third one behind him without turning to look. Han himself looks surprised for a moment, suggesting it may have been instinct. | |

Saturday Night Live once did a skit, featuring John Goodman, of a group of ninjas talking about their work. One lamented to the others, "I tried sneaking up behind him, going real, extra careful and quiet, y'know, but he always gives me one of THESE!" while making the Offhand Backhand motion. One of the other ninjas chimes in, "Yeah, how do they do that?" | |

For a Few Dollars More: The Man with No Name does this in his opening shootout, after gunning down three men who tried to prevent him from taking in their friend, who had a large bounty on his head. While still looking at the three men he'd just shot down to make certain none of them were getting up, he shot the man behind him and to his left without even turning his head. Said man, the same man he'd come to collect the bounty on, was crawling towards a pistol laying on the floor. The Man with No Name heard him moving and simply shot at the same place where he knew the gun was. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "Bats!", Applejack does this to a cardboard cutout of a tree during the song sequence. In "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?", Princess Luna is chasing a creature that causes nightmares, and when she comes to Rainbow Dash's dream where she's fighting against changelings, she thinks Dash is having a nightmare already. Dash corrects her that this is her favorite dream — accentuating the point by knocking one of the changelings out with an offhand backhand◊. A magical variant occurs in "The Beginning of the End", where Discord dispels King Sombra's magical attacks while barely paying any attention to him, turning beams of dark magic into puffs of smoke, clusters of balloons or swarms of butterflies with casual flicks of his wrist while carrying on a conversation with the main characters. |

Doctor Who: "The Christmas Invasion": The Doctor pulls this on the Sycorax leader with a satsuma. Which, to the uninitiated, is a small citrus fruit. "Day of the Moon": River Song pulls one off as she destroys an entire room filled with the Silents and as Rory asks what kind of doctor she is, she kills one more Silent as she nonchalantly answers his question. This is possibly one of the most powerful examples of this trope, as due to the nature of the Silence, you forget all about them the moment you take your eyes off them. As such, River pulled an Offhand Backhand on someone she could not have even known was there. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Part of Spike's Establishing Character Moment in "School Hard". Step one: swagger into the current villain's lair and make fun of a mook's overly dramatic speech. Step two: reminiscence about Contemplating Your Hands at Woodstock, then knock out the mook without even looking at him. Step three: stop to fawn over ill vampire girlfriend. There was a variation in which Wesley (before he Took a Level in Badass) fenced with Giles and kept ineffectually lunging at him while Giles faced the other way and read a newspaper with his other hand the whole time. Not that Giles isn't on the receiving end; in "Reptile Boy" he's getting on at Buffy for not taking her training seriously. "Are you gonna be prepared if a demon springs up behind you and does this?" Giles then does a karate chop at the back of Buffy's neck; she puts him in an armlock without even bothering to turn round. In fact, Buffy does this trope as a Running Gag from the first time we see her stake a vampire; justified due to her supernaturally enhanced reaction time and awareness. Later in the same "Reptile Boy" episode Giles does that to one of the fratboys, who tries to attack him while he is trying to open the door. Giles himself looks surprised when the attacker just drops unconscious. |

Dirk even does this while GRIEVING when he thinks Daphne is dead, his head buried in despair... but when an imp moves in to attack — smack! — and Dirk doesn't even acknowledge it. | |

Negima!

She's busy worrying about how she thinks she's getting WEAKER. Also done in the Tournament Arc during one of Evangeline's matches. |

Brian uses a shoving variation at the end of the "Patriot Games" of Family Guy. A neat little subversion, as he sets it up so that Stewie thinks he is going to receive some kind of karmic retribution for constantly and mercilessly beating Brian (until he got the fifty dollars that he bet on a boxing match) and that was going to happen when he least suspected it. Cue the end of the episode: as the Griffins are walking down the street (in London), Brian nonchalantly shoves Stewie directly in front of a moving bus. | |

Dragon Ball Z: When Frieza fights with Nail, he Flash Steps, intentionally exposing his back to Nail just so that he can do this. Dragon Ball Xenoverse used this scene as inspiration for the Frieza Race's back attack animation. Frieza does it again in the Tournament of Power arc, using his tail. Must be a family trait because Cooler does it to Goku◊ in his movie. A band of Mooks surrounds Vegeta in Frieza's ship, and the only one that has the balls to attack him from behind (or at all) gets taken out by one of these. It's unknown if Vegeta was intending to invoke this trope by turning his back on Semi-Perfect Cell when dominating him, but given his taunting him, it's likely that's exactly what he planned to do, although Cell seems to wise up and just doles out Ki attacks in response. In Buu's Reincarnation (the penultimate episode of the series), Vegeta does this to his would-be opponent when the latter foolishly attempts to taunt him, knocking him far enough back to hit a billboard and severely injuring him, then has the other opponents inform the referees that his opponent has decided to forfeit the match without turning around even once. Gohan does this to Bido in Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound. It ends up killing him and cuts him in half. Master Roshi does this to one of Frieza's minions in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'. An enraged Goku instantly teleports and casually backhands Zamasu in Dragon Ball Super. Beerus Hakais Dr. Mashirito this way during a crossover between Super and Slump. Keep in mind, at this point, Mashirito was a ghost. In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, Vegeta does a spectaculuar one◊ to the titular berserker. |

Strong Bad Email: One of Strong Bad's methods for dealing with the office "dullard" is a variation on this. While listening to Homestar ramble about something or other, Strong Bad throws his fist back and utters a punching sound effect, then returns to his typing. Although Homestar is not physically harmed, the sudden gesture derails his train of thought and gets him to stop talking for a few seconds. | |

Darth Vader does something similar in Revenge of the Sith: when he's on Mustafar slaughtering the Separatist council, a battle droid shoots at him from behind, and without turning around, he just puts his lightsaber behind him, deflecting the blaster bolt back and destroying the droid. This occurs right before he turns to face the camera, showing off the red-rimmed yellow eyes of Dark Side corruption. | |

The Lord of the Rings: Legolas does this during the hand-to-hand fight in Edoras. Finishes off one, another's approaching from behind... bam. Of course, we are talking about an elven prince who has the battle experience of a millenia at least, in addition to Super-Senses. The idiot trying to sneak up on him never stood a chance. Aragorn also stabs people without looking at them, the idea being that he's been trained in the elvish martial arts. It also helps that he's 87 with a younger man's body, and has thus been fighting for longer than any of the mooks have been alive. The fact that he can also hear a Nazgûl coming up behind him clearly marks him as Canon Badass. |

Gungrave: Beyond the Grave does this sort of thing too when using his Burst Attack, and in some cutscenes. | |

Captain America is especially fond of it. In his case, however, he's far more likely to whack you in the face with his shield. One of the funniest times with Captain America was, while in conversation with Ms. Marvel outside Avengers' Mansion on a snowy day, Cap flings his shield to the side, which bounces off a wall, passes behind him — incidentally intercepting the snowball thrown at him by a daring kid who climbed to the top of the outer wall — bounces off the opposite wall, then flies back to Cap's hand. Ms. Marvel remarks on Cap's unexpected show of humor. On the cover of Captain America #65 he did it to his own sidekick Bucky when Bucky tried to warn Cap about his new girlfriend being evil. |

Starship Troopers: On a leave from training, Rico and two fellow trainees got attacked from behind and by surprise by four sailors of the merchant fleet. Rico executed an Offhand Backhand on the one who attacked him, then realized they were being attacked and turned to help the others but sees that they did the same to their aggressors. | |
