Percussive Prevention	comment	Bob is about to do something that Charlie considers stupid â€” attempting a Heroic Sacrifice, becoming The Bait, otherwise putting himself in danger, or about to act like a Leeroy Jenkins. Charlie could try to reason with Bob and persuade him not to go, but he takes a much faster and more direct option. He punches Bob in the jaw. (The gut and/or solar plexus are also popular areas.) Nine times out of ten, this will put Bob out like a light, but even when it doesn't it still subdues him long enough for Charlie to take his place or forcibly remove him from danger. Bob may be cursing and raging (or even attempting to return the punch), but Charlie will brush him off and insist that he only did what he had to do. A subtrope of Cruel to Be Kind, since this sort of treatment hurts, even if it saves Bob from worse. Since one hero attacking another looks really bad out of context, this is a common source of Superdickery. See Kind Restraints for a softer version of this. Compare Percussive Shutdown when this tactic is used against an object rather than a character. Can result in Percussive Therapy if the recipient of the hit has been a source of frustration for the person doing the hitting. A common reason for this is that the character punching you out is More Expendable Than You. Compare Get A Hold Of Yourself Man, Dope Slap, Saved From Their Own Honor and Don't Say Such Stupid Things!.

Percussive Prevention / int_101bfcd7	comment	Sengoku Basara: At one point, Masamune gets injured during the fight with Nobunaga. He faints while riding away on his horse (don't ask) and his faithful retainer, Kojuro, gets him to safety. But when some of Masamune's men gets kidnapped, Masamune wakes up at the worst possible time and overhears the news. He insists on rescuing his men despite his weakened state, while Kojuro attempts to stop him. The two battle a bit, then Kojuro takes advantage of Masamune's still sensitive wound and knocks his lord out with a blade hilt to the head. One of the men who had managed to escape the kidnapping (and whom delivered the news) yells at Kojuro, asking him why he did that. Kojuro doesn't respond, but it's clear by the look in his eyes that his actions were done out of a deep love and sense of duty towards Masamune. Kojuro then borrows Masamune's swords, promising to rescue the kidnapped men himself.

The souls must cross the bridge of Gjallerbru, with an army of demon warriors on their heels. Thor orders Balder to lead the souls to escape while he holds the bridge. Skurge knocks Thor out and tells Balder, "You and Thor have a drink when you are next in Asgard and laugh Skurge's last laugh together. I will hold the bridge." Skurge then holds the bridge with two M-16s, going down in an absolutely classic Dying Moment of Awesome. Or, to quote the closing narrative;

Nowadays, he can be knocked unconscious with a dialogue option.

When Ichigo tried to confront Captain Kuchiki outside Rukia's place of imprisonment, Yoruichi rendered him unconscious and escaped with him. She knew he wasn't strong enough to fight Captain Kuchiki yet and would just get himself killed. Used again with Orihime and Chad during the Fullbringer arc. Urahara and Isshin were able to knock out Chad and Orihime since they were kinda distracted while Tsukishima was busy Mind Raping them.

In "The End", when Present Dean discovers Future Dean is going to feed his own friends into a meat grinder for the sake of his last-ditch desperate attempt to kill the Bad Future version of Lucifer, Present Dean makes it clear that he's willing to put a stop to it here and now rather than let Future Dean defeat Lucifer this way. Future Dean simply knocks Present Dean out while the latter is off-guard to resolve that complication, and by the time Present Dean wakes up, the attack is already underway.

Bruce sneaks up behind Dent, puts a sleeper hold on him til he passes out, then locks him in a closet. This is presumably because Bruce knew Dent would try to put on a brave face in front of the Joker, and he just wanted him to be safe while he suited up and faced the Joker himself as Batman.

Rose Tico prevents this by crashing her speeder into his, totalling both speeders and knocking them away from the beam's path, and allowing the First Order to break in. Leia knocks Poe out with a non-lethal Blaster shot when the latter attempts to incite a mutiny, based on the assumption that Holdo is taking the coward's way out after finding out she was preparing escape ships. She's not; she's setting up her and her ship's Heroic Sacrifice by first ensuring everyone on board is safely evacuated first.

Later Luffy violently forces Johnny and Yosaku down to stop them interfering during Zoro one-sided duel with Mihawk. Much later in the Dressrosa he knocks out Bellamy, effectively saving him from Domflamingo. Nami does this to boy in her village. When he wants to avenge his father who Arlong killed, Nami whacks him down with her staff. Usually Nami wouldn't dream of hurting a child but in this case she was protecting him. Even when pretending to be evil she's still a Mama Bear. Later she pretends to stab Usopp to fool Arlong and save his life. Doctor Kureha also uses these methods to keep patients from doing anything that will worsen their condition or even make them incurable. She violently floored Sanji to keep him from further injuring his back and paralyzing himself. Sanji himself does this to Usopp in Skypeia, kicking him out of the way Enel's lighting blast which would've undoubtedly vaporized Usopp. Sanji on the other hand decided to take the blast himself. Later in Water 7, Sanji floors Chopper in his Heavy form to restrain him from getting involved in Luffy and Usopp's duel. Much later in Zou Sanji nearly breaks his chivalry when he physically throws Nami, Chopper and Brook to safety out of Bege's body. Though he does tell them to watch their heads as they land. In Thriller Bark, Zoro knocks Sanji out to keep Sanji from possibly sacrificing his life to a high-powered government thug in Luffy's place. Before that Zoro is often shown violently shoving Nami out of harm's way like in Alabasta and in Foxy filler.

Thankfully (though embarrassingly), one of the charging warriors under his command accidentally whacks him upside the head with his hammer, rendering him unconscious for the remainder of the battle.

He thinks that as an older and more senior officer, it's him who should deal with Simpson, not Hornblower who is just a boy in his eyes. Simpson is wounded, Clayton is gutshot, living just long enough for Hornblower to come round, reach the shore and listen to his Last Words. Later in the same episode, when Mr. Midshipman Kennedy is suffering a seizure while they attempt to sneak up on a French warship, Mr. Midshipmen Hornblower gives him a Tap on the Head, before leaving the unconscious man in the boat while they board the ship. Mr. Midshipman Simpson casts the boat adrift and we don't see the man again until two episodes later.

Percussive Prevention / int_fe83990a	comment	In the initial arc of Saint Seiya, when Shun and Shiryu confront Ikki to retrieve remainder of the Gold Cloth he stole, Shun knocks Shiryu unconscious (in the anime, he simply wraps Shiryu head-to-toe in his chains) to prevent him from interfering with resolving his family affairs (namely, Shun plans to let Ikki kill him; it's complicated). It fails because Hyoga (with a gaping hole in his chest) and Seiya show up just in time.
