An attack with some resemblance to a Macross Missile Massacre. Unlike normal shrapnel, which expands out in all directions, reverse shrapnel focuses its explosive, glowy death into a protective ring or sphere around the character who brought it forth, with the fragments then homing in on nearby enemies. It could be floating weapons, shards of Pure Energy, or other kinds of fragments. Contrast Flechette Storm, where the pointy things go for a target, and Orbiting Particle Shield, where the pointy things circle the character as defence. |

Bleach: Captain Kaname Tosen's zanpakuto had this as its shikai attack. He used it against Captain Kenpachi Zaraki during the Soul Society arc. Captain Byakuya's shikai technique can be interpreted as a LITERALLY reverse shrapnel: his sword breaks down into flecks of metal which may surround his opponent and cut him to death with millions of tiny pink bits of sword. (His Bankai conjures a couple dozen giant swords that each shatter into millions of tiny blades.) The Bount Gō Koga has an Empathic Weapon named Dalk which takes the form of a metal, insect-like creature. It can separate into hundreds of small spheres and levitate through the air to home in on the opponent. |

From Lyrical Nanoha, we have Fate's Photon/Plasma Lancer, and Chrono's Stinger Blade. Both spells produces blades of energy that float around their target for a moment before launching. The spell 'Bloody Daggers' used by the Book of Darkness is a closer fit, and she can also do a nasty alternate version where the ring of doom appears around the enemy and implodes instead. |

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening's Vergil, in Dante Must Die mode and the Special Edition, can make his magic summoned swords encircle him, hitting all enemies that are too close. They break after a few hits though. They can and, for the boss version, always get repurposed as Flechette Storm after a short while. He also does this as Nelo Angelo during the final showdown with Dante in the original Devil May Cry, often summoning them around Dante before cutting loose. It is by far his deadliest attack. Nero in DMC4 gains a similar ability after Yamato comes into his possession — the magical blades are fired at the enemy(ies) whenever Nero shoots with his gun Blue Rose. |

Path of Exile has the Blade Vortex spell. Each cast creates an ethereal blade that orbits around the caster for five seconds and damages any enemies it passes through. Casting additional blades increases the damage and the rate it damages enemiesnote The blades themselves don't have a hitbox; they visualize the skill's AoE, which is constant no matter how many blades you have summoned. The Blade Blast skill can detonate these blades to create an explosion around yourself, which chains into bigger explosions the more blades you have. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: The Patras are giant winged eyes with a bunch of smaller winged eyes circling around. Two of the three encountered make their smaller eyes enlarge their orbit periodically, while the third one makes them spin in a spiral pattern. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Ghirahim will occasionally summon rhomboid blades in a ring around himself, which then fly toward Link one at a time and must be deflected or dodged. Later, he creates a similar ring around Link himself, who must use the right kind of Spin Attack to take them all out or they'll simultaneously converge on him. |

Trials of Mana has the basic earth element spell Diamond Shards which causes shards of diamond to rip out of the ground and spin around for a few seconds before homing in on, and impaling, the target. If cast on multiple targets, instead of shards appearing out of the ground, huge diamonds will appear above each target and be shattered by a shockwave before impaling their respective targets. | |

League of Legends: Mordekaiser's Creeping Death creates a cloud of metallic shrapnel around a target ally, both to increase their durability and to shred any enemies that come near them. The Sunfire Cape provides protection and causes the user to be bathed in flames that harm nearby enemies. Talon's ultimate ability is sending out a ring of shurikens that stay in position independent of his movement. After a few seconds, they home back in on Talon himself or into a single target he damaged with an auto attack or Noxian Diplomacy (his Q skill), slicing anyone in between them to ribbons. |

Mega Man 7: Junk Shield can be fired in multiple directions at once. The best example would be the Water Shield; it creates eight water orbs which can then be fired out in a spiral pattern. | |

In Dragon Ball Z, Piccolo uses this against Android 17, firing off several ki blasts until he has the cyborg trapped in the ki-ball variant of a minefield. He then controls the ki blasts to converge onto 17 all at once. | |

Mega Man: Mega Man (Classic) loves these. Stone Man's Power Stone is a good example, as is any shield weapon, to an extent. They tend to be hard to aim. Mega Man 7: Junk Shield can be fired in multiple directions at once. The best example would be the Water Shield; it creates eight water orbs which can then be fired out in a spiral pattern. Mega Man 8: The Final Boss has one of these attacks as well. Rockman 4 Minus Infinity, a ROM Hack, has the Hell Wheel, a buffed version of the Skull Barrier which propels Mega Man forward when it is activated and does not disappear after hitting an enemy. Mega Man Legends 2: The first form of the final boss does this. Except it explodes on contact. |

Metroid: Super Metroid: The Power Bomb combos. Charging a single beam and then switching to morph ball with power bombs highlighted will result in one of these for each beam. Ice Beam has four iceballs circling Samus, while Plasma and Wave shoot to the corners of the screen and come back, and Spazer makes it rain lasers. Metroid Prime 2: Echoes: The Dark Beam this effect on targets when charged, looking like ice shrapnels (it makes sense, since the beam was programmed with the Ice Beam from the first Prime as a basis). Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: Ice missiles act like this, when they freeze something sharp ice crystals from in a sphere then snap onto the target. |
