Our hero is fighting a losing battle. Every time he tries to make an attack his opponent knocks him back. Finally he tries a new strategy. He enters a state of Tranquil Fury, gets up, and starts slowly walking toward his opponent with a determined look on his face. A few things might happen during this time. The enemy might send a barrage of projectiles heading toward the hero, which are casually dodged or deflected, or completely ignored. The hero might be in the middle of a battlefield with explosions happening all around him that don't affect him at all. He also might encounter multiple enemies during his walk, who he will dispatch effortlessly, never changing pace and never taking his eyes off his target. Used to show the hero is really ready to beat up his opponent. It's almost guaranteed that once the hero gets within attacking range his opponent will not only be beaten, but beaten soundly. When used effectively it's a great tension builder, with audience anticipation rising as the hero gets closer and closer to the inevitable beat-down. In some variations, however, both the villain and hero approach each other with the walk, in which case you can expect a great deal of whoop-ass to be exchanged by both sides. Subtrope of Tranquil Fury, which is the general mood when this action takes place. May be combined with Ominous Walk, Unflinching Walk, Menacing Stroll, or Out of the Inferno, or even a Self-Destructive Charge, minus the charging bit. Becomes even more awesome when paired with Staring Down Cthulhu. For the Video Game AI equivalent, see Perfect Play A.I.. Sometimes an enemy might do this - such fellows are usually Implacable Men or Juggernauts. Not to be confused with The Slow Path. |

Jason Voorhees of the Friday the 13th series definitely fits this trope. He has that slow "zombie walk", constantly pursuing his target and is unfazed by bullets, strikes and girls with telekinesis. And despite his victims running as fast as they can, always gets ahead of them and in position to slaughter them horribly without so much as jogging. | |

Dragon Ball: Dragon Ball Z: Whenever Gohan goes Super Saiyan 2, he only has two speeds: too fast to see, and serene stride. Even while doing the Kamehameha, he ends up doing this once he wins the Beam-O-War. In the movies, Goku also does it to Broly of all people. In Dragon Ball GT, the icy San Shenron walks towards his twin brother, Suh Shenron (he even tells him to stop), after knocking out Goku and meet face to face before beating him. In Dragon Ball Super, once Goku enters Ultra Instinct Omen for the first time, he starts walking towards Jiren. Goku dismisses attacks from other parties so fast that it's almost as if he's merely ignoring these attacks; Jiren recognizes the trope in effect and tells Toppo and Dyspo to stand aside, taking matters into his own hands. |

Modern Warfare: Makarov and his gang in "No Russian", to make themselves seem even more terrifying to their victims. Justified, as they're mostly hunting unarmed civilians or lightly-armed airport police in the first half of the mission, so there's no need to run. Once heavily-armed police reinforcements show up, they do start to hustle. Price and Yuri are limited to this while in their Juggernaut suits during "Dust to Dust". |

Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok: Loki does this on occasion, most noticeably when he's walking into the mansion of the Norns, and they throw both a storm of knives and a couple of evil spirits at him - and he just keeps walking, casually commenting on the 'warm reception'. Interestingly enough, he doesn't seem to be actually deflecting or dodging anything, indicating either that even the Goddesses of Fate are subject to mandatory training at the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy, or that Loki possesses some sort of "probability control" power that allows him to simply make them miss. Given that he's the Trickster God trapped in the form of a boy, 'tis probably the latter. | |

Power Rangers: their giant robot advances, it is being shot at, but the explosions from the projectiles are useless. A rare example of one of the Rangers doing this occurs in Power Rangers: Dino Thunder, where Tommy does the walk towards the Monster of the Week while effortlessly beating aside some mooks, enters super dino mode, then defeats the monster with ease. Another example of a Ranger doing this is Casey towards the end of Power Rangers Jungle Fury. When he goes to face down Jarrad/Dai Shi, he has a slow motion walk into the bad guys' lair, taking down a load of mooks effortlessly. |

It's not so much as facing off to defeat the opponent, it's about him reaching Atoli to give her a Cooldown Hug. Subverted when he does not make it in the omake chapter, thanks to a reference multiple path he can take with regards to his relationships to other characters |

Superman: During The Supergirl from Krypton (2004), Superman walks slowly, heading to Darkseid's throne room to rescue his cousin, ignoring the squads of kamikaze parademons swooping down on him and blowing up around him. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow: When Supergirl and Ruthye are ambushed by Krem and one of his cronies, Kara gets shot and knocked down by an arrow. Then she calmly gets up and slowly approaches both goons, ignoring how Krem is continuing to embed more arrows in her chest. In The Condemned Legionnaires, Lightning Lad and Sun Boy hurl lightning bolts and streams of flame at Satan Girl, who simply chuckles, keeps walking slowly towards them as ignoring their energy barrage, and literally blow them out of the way. |

Xenoblade Chronicles X has the Dual Guns arts Ghostwalker and Ghost Factory. The user drops their guns to the side and either walk to the left (Ghostwalker) or walk straight forward and strike a T-pose (Ghost Factory). During the walk the user is completely immune, and at the completion the user (or the entire party with Factory) will be granted the status of Decoy, which makes a certain number of attacks automatically miss. Used properly with the mechanics provided within the game and it's very much the Game-Breaker that it sounds like and for a player might signify them saying to the enemy "I've had enough of your shit". | |

Kit Taylor, from Kamen Rider Dragon Knight does this, as Kamen Rider Onyx, to his mirror twin Adam, who had become Dragon Knight. Kit clearly Took A Level In Bad Ass here because he does it MID-FIGHT SCENE after beating the hell out of Adam in the first minute of the fight. So basically he was already winning the bout, and decided "screw it, I'm just gonna kill 'im", and started doing the walk. Adam so had it coming, though. We also see it with Len. At one point, Kit had been tricked into distrusting him, and he was just generally having a bad day. So when he hears the mirror world sound, he takes out his Advent Deck... and then puts it away. We next see him walking slowly and purposefully towards two mirror monsters, his Cool Shades of Badassitude on. He proceeds to beat them down without transforming, and send them running away. |

One Piece: Luffy pulls this off in Movie 6 just prior to the final confrontation with the Big Bad, effortlessly dodging the homing arrows that gave him so much trouble before. It's actually part of Brooks' Finishing Move- The Slow Walk meets Single-Stroke Battle. Especially more awesome because he uses it against what is essentially a clone of his fighting style. Double Slow Walk! When St. Charloss shoots Hatchan, Luffy enrages and proceeds to walk towards the World Noble, dodging his bullets, and punches him right in the face. In the anime, after Akainu kills Ace, Garp walks towards the Admiral with a pretty brutal snarl on his face. After Sengoku pins him down, he admits that if he's not held back, he would kill Akainu. |

Toward the end of Bastion you have the choice to pick up Zulf and leave your weapon behind, or leave Zulf behind and fight your way through. Picking up Zulf results in the the kid's movement being greatly slowed as he walks through an army of Ura who continue to shoot at him. Though an ass-kicking does not follow, when the Ura see that the Kid, a Caelondian, is carrying one of their own, who they nearly killed in anger, they stop shooting and just let him walk past. All set to great music. All while the player is still in control. | |

Occurs when Eric fights Tin-Tin in The Crow. He dodges one thrown knife, and stalks towards his opponent, teeth bared. He bats the next thrown knife out of the air, and eggs Tin-Tin on to try again. He catches the third knife, then throws it back. | |

Warhammer 40,000 has a few examples: The Necrons are for the most part forced to use, and master, this trope — when they need to get around, they tend to teleport into position, then make a slow walk. In general, they don't as much dodge or block the attacks as take them head on. Their toughness is emphasized often in the fluff. Another army that's prone to Slow Walking are the Thousand Sons, a faction of Chaos Space Marines backed by Tzeentch. They, like the Necrons, have a good reason for their lumbering gait: whilst the Necrons are really ancient skeletal robots, the Thousand Sons are, essentially, the souls of those Thousand Sons with no psychic powers trapped in their armor forever and ever, unless... evicted forcibly. It's only the non-psykers who do this, as the Sorcerers that lead them are capable of normal locomotion. In the fluff, when the Tau enter battle-rage, they tend to do this on a battalion level, slowly pushing the battle line forward regardless of casualties while pouring a hail of gunfire into the enemy. This is said to happen sometimes when a particularly beloved Etheral is killed, though the actual rules for such events happening tend to result in the opposite effect. Although essentially fixed with a particular Tau-only Planetstrike stratagem, where the death of their leader actually galvanizes the entire army into a state of fearlessness for a short time. For the Greater Good. Any unit in the game that benefits from the "Slow And Purposeful" special rule tends to do this, the rule allowing the unit to fire with weapons as if they stood still even if they have moved that turn — slowly though, as they always move as if through difficult terrain, which is on average slower than otherwise. |

Sengoku Shunsuke from Cyber City Oedo 808 does this at the climax of the first episode. Somewhat subverted in that he realized his half-man-half-computer opponent is predicting his dodge moves, so when he starts the slow walk his opponent launches attacks aimed at where he is expecting Sengoku to leap to and consequently misses. Sengoku does still take a few glancing hits, but just shrugs them off. | |

ExDeath in Dissidia Final Fantasy. When he needs to get around quickly, he teleports. At all other times, he pimp-walks. Only partially justified in that he's in a suit of armor, because other villains with similar armor (like Garland or Golbez) aren't nearly as encumbered. Well, he is an evil tree. Those don't usually move too fast. Tonberries start out standing far away from the party, but slowly waddle closer every turn. Once they get within range, at least one hapless party member can expect to get gutted with a Chef's Knife. |

The thing that made retreats so difficult in the age of massed formations was that, in order to retreat and maintain unit cohesion and effectiveness, you had to have troops trained and disciplined enough to walk away from the enemy that they were retreating from. As one character in the Horatio Hornblower books stated: Once the troops start running, it's much harder to get them to stop. Of course, rounding up and rallying fleeing infantry in the event of such a gambit failing was one of the roles of Cavalry troops. | |

In Nomine by Steve Jackson Games, has this available to angels of Stone as a power called "Inevitability" — so long as the angel continues to pursue at all, their fleeing prey is at half speed. The effect is described as being like the classic horror movie... no matter how quickly the victim tries to flee, the walking angel keeps getting closer and closer. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Fate Averruncus, brazen as he is, likes to do this to his opponents to show how little he fears them. Takamichi is an odd case: while he seems to choose to move slowly during combat and speak with a polite, casual air, this becomes clearer once you realize that 1. this' just his usual expression; 2. he deliberately holds back against most of his opponents in part with his slow walking for their sake (he's quite fast otherwise);3. keeping his hands in his pockets happens to be his fighting stance. Takamichi, really, does Iaido. Except instead of sword and sheath, he uses hands and pocket....which then creates Beam Spam. It's handwaved as "fist pressures"; he's punching so hard that the pressure from his strikes is still incredibly strong. Then he powers it up with Kanka... |
