Anybody can get into a fight, but it takes someone very confident, very desperate, or very pissed off to stand up and demand that someone fight them. And it takes a badass to do it with style. This is Throwing Down the Gauntlet — so named for the medieval practice of literally throwing down one's actual gauntlet before the person one wanted to challenge, making it both Truth in Television and Older Than Print. It can take any number of forms, depending on the character and the reason for the challenge. It may include a Badass Boast or Badass Creed, a list of the reasons the challenger has for beating the challenged down, and a detailed description of the ways in which the challenged is now doomed. It might be a "No More Holding Back" Speech in which the challenger explains himself and how he's reached this point. It might be a calculated effort to goad the challenged into accepting the contest and fighting their hardest, either in order to test them or just because the challenger likes a good fight. Whatever the form, Throwing Down the Gauntlet is the act of challenging someone to a fight or some other competition, preferably in the most badass way possible. This could result in a Duel to the Death, Ten Paces and Turn, Wizards Duel (if both are wizards, of course) or pretty much any type of fight that has rules involved. If this involves actually throwing a glove of some sort on the ground, the challenge is accepted by picking it up. In some cases, this may overlap with the Glove Slap, as traditionally the glove was used to slap the challenged twice upon the chest before being thrown down (although this is mostly forgotten now). When the recipient of the challenge is a parent, mentor, or other authority figure, this is Calling the Old Man Out. If the one being challenged is vastly above the challenger's level and fully capable of squashing him like a bug, it may resemble Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter. If the character is particularly angry, they may say "Prepare to Die". If the character does it every time they begin a fight, it's In the Name of the Moon. If the challenge was unintended, it's Fumbling the Gauntlet. When the gauntlet is a microphone and the challenger is implicitly challenging anyone to respond to what they've just said, it's a Mic Drop. For other types of challenges and taunting, see Bring It. |

Near the end of Inazuma arc in Genshin Impact, The Traveler confronts the agent who's responsible for the unrest across the land. The agent mocks The Traveler and reminds them that they're a nobody and a wanted criminal at that. Recounting all the atrocities done through the agent's manipulation, The Traveler then challenges her to a Duel Before the Throne, where status does not matter, and the loser is instantly executed. This is particularly notable as the challenge is one of the few times the Traveler is given voiced dialogue. | |

Played straight in Fort Apache: Captain York spends half the movie trying to explain to Colonel Thursday that he needs to respect the Apache better. When Thursday derisively slams one last suggestion back in York's face, accusing him of "cowardice," York has enough and throws down his glove at Thursday's feet, demanding satisfaction. Thursday pointedly refuses (the battle is about to start), tells a soldier to pick up the glove and return it to York before relieving York of his command and sending him back with the supply wagons. Thursday's subsequent death in battle prevents York from pursuing the matter further. | |

In The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Aragorn calls for Sauron to meet him in battle at the gates of Mordor "that justice be done upon him." He's bluffing (Legolas helpfully informs us that it's a diversion), yet the effect is undiminished. | |

Honor Harrington: In Field of Dishonor, among the upper class, any sort of physical attack is considered grounds for the victim to challenge the attacker to a duel. Due to the exact details of Manticoran dueling rules, it's better to be the one accepting the challenge, so when Honor sets out to arrange a duel with Denver Summervale, she first openly insults him, then slaps him across the face hard, several times. Since Honor is a Heavy Worlder, a "slap" from her is like taking a punch from a heavyweight boxer, and her target has no choice but to challenge her. After being accused of treason, the Big Bad of the novel Flag in Exile challenges his accuser (Honor) to a trial by combat, reasoning that if she can use ancient laws to accuse him, he can use them to defend himself. He also assumes that Honor is a novice with no real skill at the swords that are Grayson's traditional weapon for such duels. He is very, very wrong. |

In one The Simpsons episode, Homer sees the glove-slap in a movie and starts using it in real life to get whatever he wants. This goes really well until he tries it on a Southern Gentleman — who accepts his offer of a duel. Later in the episode, he runs away after being challenged to a duel by Jimmy Carter. |

In Dark Souls, when using the Grave Lord's spell you place a marker that show up in three random people's worlds. While the gave sign persists much stronger than normal phantoms spawn and you steal half of a player's soul amount when they die. But if ANY or maybe even ALL of them find where you hid the sign and feel like having vengeance... There is also an item in the game specifically meant for this, the Red Sign Soapstone. It has infinite uses and its only purpose is to leave a sign on the ground others can touch if they wish to challenge you. |

Done in a non-badass way in The L-Shaped Room, set in the '50s: the protagonist gets pregnant after a one night stand, and although she refuses the father's offer to marry her, he still feels guilty and wants to help. After helping her get back in contact with her "boyfriend," the father deliberately provokes a fight so that the boyfriend can beat him up and, having taken his beating, feels absolved of all guilt or responsibility in the pregnancy. | |

In the Codex Alera series, this involves challenging the offender to what is called a "juris macto"—essentially a Duel to the Death. Its not terribly complicated, simply by having the challenger confront and declare the name of the person they wish to duel, naming their offenses, then declaring that "May the crows feast on the unjust!" Juris macto comes up often—something like ten times per book. 80% of these are just threats, and somebody backs down before the formal challenge. 10% of the time, the crows do indeed feast on the unjust. The remaining 10%, Tavi or his kin are doing something or other overly clever. |

Pops up in Pathfinder; most obviously with the Cavalier's "challenge" ability, but the Paladin's "smite evil" and the Inquisitor's "judgement" are also forms of gaining mechanical benefits for Throwing Down The Gauntlet. The first two are made against specific target, while judgment is more generally directed at any and all of the inquisitor's current opponents. | |

Smacking or punching another Klingon in the face is usually a sign of dominance and will not result in anything worse than a punch to the face in return, but smacking him with the back of the hand is a challenge to a duel to the death. Captain Sisko found this out in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Apocalypse Rising"; thankfully for him the recipient was Worf, while training them to infiltrate Klingon territory. Aware of Sisko's mistake, Worf didn't accept. | |

Star Trek: Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "The Best of Both Worlds, Part 2", after stomping out the rest of Starfleet, the Borg are on their way to finish off Earth. They are intercepted by the Enterprise, a ship they nearly destroyed and whose captain they kidnapped. The ship arrives with the sole purpose of daring the Borg to attack them. Naturally, for a race that prides itself on warrior honor, the Klingons have at least three different ways of doing this shown in the series: Smacking or punching another Klingon in the face is usually a sign of dominance and will not result in anything worse than a punch to the face in return, but smacking him with the back of the hand is a challenge to a duel to the death. Captain Sisko found this out in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Apocalypse Rising"; thankfully for him the recipient was Worf, while training them to infiltrate Klingon territory. Aware of Sisko's mistake, Worf didn't accept. Taking one's dagger and plunging it into a table between oneself and another Klingon is another challenge to a duel to the death, as seen in the DS9 episode "Sons and Daughters". Luckily for Alexander Rozenkho, who knew damn well what he was doing, the recipient of the challenge, also Worf, declined to kill him. Finally, a challenge can be done simply by telling the other Klingon, often times challenging his fitness to lead other warriors. Worf got involved in this twice, once as part of a gambit to reignite the fire for combat in Martok, and another to kill Gowron, leader of the Klingons, and install Martok in his place. Riker also pulls this off in the TNG episode "A Matter of Honor", which ends non-fatally. |

In the Popeye cartoon "Duel To The Finish" (which despite its title is not violent at all) starts out with Olive trying to make Popeye jealous by wooing Wimpy through the main route to his heart: his stomach. When Popeye hears Olive kiss Wimpy, he challenges Wimpy to a duel. Wimpy selects an eating duel. Olive slaves over a stove while Popeye looks like he's losing to Wimpy hands down. That is, until Olive says she just can't cook another thing. Wimpy concedes defeat. | |

Bound to happen in BattleTech when there are Kuritans, Clanners, or (some of the more honorable) Mercenaries around. To the Clans this is known as a "Trial of Grievance", and is one of the most common Trials: It is usually fought to Victory by First Blood unless the grievance is particularly grievous, as the Clans despise waste and want to keep deaths and maimings from personal honour duels to a minimum. | |

Riley and Jonesy the hockey players from Letterkenny have a tendency to do this whenever they cross paths with Wayne and Daryl, though the latter two usually convince them not to or just make them so mad that they leave. In "Hockey Players" they do throw down baseballs gloves to show they mean business. They also mention this being done on their behalf by a family member or first date after somebody insults them, and they're not too keen on actually going through with it. | |

Kyo Kara Maoh!: Immediately after the lead Yuuri becomes accidentally engaged to Wolfram by way of slap, Wolfram knocks a bunch of cutlery to the floor in a rage, and Yuuri kneeling to pick it up provokes a malevolent chuckle of victory: he just formally agreed to an honor duel. Rather later, Yuuri gets suckered by this again, this time by a girl who's challenging him for Wolfram. Bonus points for his accidental pointing of a spork at her, which turns out to be local code for 'I have stolen your lover.' Wolfram is touched. Yuuri is frazzled. |

Happens on a regular basis in the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, given that competition using a card game is a Serious Business. (In fact, the dub name of the second episode of the original series is "The Gauntlet is Thrown", emphasizing this Trope, although that specific episode was kind of a subversion, because the "challenge" could better be described as blackmail.) | |

This happened in a big way in an episode of Teen Titans. Apparently, a Tameranian has the right to wrest a monarch's power away from him or her by making a public challenge and winning (so long as no-one gives the challenger help). After Blackfire assumed the throne, Starfire did just that, and won after a rather epic fight. (She later abdicated the throne, however, passing it to her childhood guardian.) | |

Subverted in Robin Hood: Men in Tights when the Sheriff of Nottingham challenges Robin Hood to a fight... "mano a mano, man to man, Just You and Me and My GUARDS!!" the last line being a shouted call for his many, many plate-armored guards to come in and surround the hero. Hilarity Ensues, of course. It was parodied less than a minute prior, when the sheriff slaps Robin in the face with his glove and throws it down as a challenge. Robin responds by taking a metal gauntlet and smashing the Sheriff in the face while saying "I accept" (Bugs Bunny did it first). |

In Prince Caspian, Peter delivers a formal challenge to King Miraz, in which he establishes his credentials as High King, lists the crimes for which he plans to hold Miraz accountable, declares his intention to "prove upon your Lordship's body" Caspian's rightful claim to the throne, and concludes by giving the year as the first year of Caspian's reign as though his victory is a forgone conclusion. This is at least in part to make the challenge so outrageous that Miraz has to accept. | |

In The Dark Crystal, after the death of the Skeksis Emperor, SkekSil the Chamberlin seizes the scepter in order to claim the throne, only to be challenged to a ritual contest for it by SkekUng the General; the penalty for refusing or losing this challenge is death or worse. Despite the rather serious consequences, the rules are rather simple: both take turns using incredibly heavy swords to try to shatter a large gemstone, and the first to successfully shatter it wins; but each is only allowed three tries. (The fact that it is covered with hundreds of chips and scratches attests to the numerous power struggles in their history; nonetheless, this time, SkekUng is successful, but he spares SkekSil, choosing to simply strip him of his robes and exile him from the palace. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Common in all armies due to the Rule of Cool and World of Ham being such important parts of the setting. And because so many evil armies run on Klingon Promotion (and others on Proud Warrior Race), challenges between commanders are commonplace. Painfully subverted in one case: An Eldar craftworld was under attack by a Tyranid Hive Fleet, so they sacrificed one of their finest commanders to bring forth the Avatar of Khaine, a giant demigod of molten metal. The Avatar took up its sword and delivered a challenge to the Swarmlord (the 'nid commanding the ground troops)... who continuously ignored the Avatar and giving it an Undignified Death by instead sending half a dozen Carnifexes to bumrush it. |

In Child of the Storm reveals that in the back-story, Doctor Strange did this to the entire White Council, the top 1% of Wandless Wizards worldwide, more or less all of whom have Person of Mass Destruction power levels (though mostly just the Wardens really focus on combat magic), and the seven person leading Senior Council verge on the Physical God category. Considering his justly earned reputation as The Dreaded, they didn't pick it up. | |

Blake's 7: Used for a Visual Pun in "Power". When Avon challenges the leader of a primitive tribe, he uses as his choice of weapon an actual gauntlet... which he then uses to pick up a live heliofusion rod and disintegrate the other guy's sword. | |

"And a brand new knight-errant with banners unfurled/hurls down the gauntlet to thee!" Yes, it's done by Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha: he slams down his glove on the stage when the Knight of the Mirrors insults his lady, and provokes Don Quixote's rage. | |

Wakamatsu attempted to invoke this towards Seo in chapter 14/episode 6 of Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun. However, instead of throwing a pair of mittens in front of Seo, he gave them as if they were a gift, so Seo thought Wakamatsu was just too shy to give them properly. | |

In Dragon Age II, this is an actual ability that the Rogue class can use with the Duelist specialization, which draws a single selected enemy to the rogue. Upgrades to this ability make the enemy so enraged that he attacks recklessly and has reduced chance to hit. Coupled with the Parry combat mode, and the selected enemy has a roughly -50% chance to hit, before factoring in all the other defensive advantages of being a Rogue, such as high cunning and other passive abilities that reduce chance-to-hit. | |

In Michael Crichton's novel Timeline, there is a segment 33 hours, 12 minutes, and 51 seconds into the plot where Sir Guy literally throws down a gauntlet of mail to challenge Chris, the witless woobie made of steel, to a duel, mostly because Chris seems like someone fun to stab in the gut with a gigantic spear made of wood. Being witless, Chris doesn't get it and picks the gauntlet up, so accepting a challenge to a duel given by a gigantic man capable of swinging a very large sword effortlessly. | |

The Mountain and the Wolf: Wulfrik the Wanderer being the main character, this is inevitable. Tyrion occasionally wonders if his every word is calculated to start a fight, even among his allies. During the Battle of Winterfell, he insults a White Walker into breaking formation, just so he can beat it and then wear it as a decoration. He also insults the Night King into fighting him rather than killing Bran (although Arya still gets the kill). During the siege of King's Landing, he regularly rides up to the walls of King's Landing to taunt individual defenders into attacking him, only to effortlessly slaughter them (and mockingly mentioning this to the next victim). When Daenerys finally sics Drogon on him, not only does he not back down, he gets back up and taunts Drogon into coming back to finish the job. It doesn't take either. He returns yet again at the council where Grey Worm announces his final decision to sail for Naath to reveal Missandei is still alive, demanding that all of Westeros unite to fight him and that Grey Worm join them. While fighting dark elves and Tomb King armies, he's shown to focus enemy leaders' attention on himself via crude insults (like defacing a Nehekharan mural) so they can't use their powers to help their troops. |

ElfQuest: After causing his rival Cutter incalculable grief and hardship, Rayek challenges him to a fight to settle their differences, despite knowing full well that Cutter will beat the living crap out of him. It turns out that there's method in Rayek's madness. Rayek knows that Cutter's rage will only keep on festering if he doesn't let all of it out, so Rayek refuses to concede until Cutter is one blow away from killing him. There was also the Rayek's original challenge to Cutter (via a carved stick). |

This is fairly commonplace on BBC's Merlin and has, in fact, been the driving force behind several episode plots. Usually the issue addressed is Arthur's Honor Before Reason attitude. In many cases, it literally involves throwing down a gauntlet. | |

Cyrano de Bergerac: Subverted with Cyrano: when he challenges someone to a fight it is not only in the most badass way possible, but the most Jerkass way possible too: Act I Scene IV: Cyrano challenges the whole pit of the Burgundy Theater collectively! Of course he is a badass, but this is more because he is a Jerkass that decided to interrupt the play. Later, Cyrano challenges... if that is the word... Viscount de Valvert |

Subverted in Ranger's Apprentice. Deparnieux, who rules by fear and feels that Horace is a challenger to his authority in the area, attempts to provoke the latter into a fight. Horace stays calm, but Deparnieux manages to twist his words anyway. He rears back, plucks a glove off his belt, and swings it towards Horace's face...and then Halt skewers the glove with an arrow from halfway across the room and pins it to a pillar. Later on, another knight does this to Deparnieux. It doesn't end well. Also subverted in the prior book, when Lord Morgarath challenges Halt, whom King Duncan orders not to accept before he can. At this point Morgarath knows he's lost the battle and is fishing for one last chance at revenge against the man most responsible for his defeat fifteen years prior. Then played straight when none other than Horace rides in and challenges Morgarath with a gauntlet to the face. |

In the Babylon 5 episode "Knives", a disgraced noble challenges Londo Mollari to a duel by stabbing a kutari (a Centauri shortsword) into a table and announcing his intentions in no uncertain terms. Mollari (who is familiar with this type of challenge) accepts by pulling the sword out. It's not so much general Centauri tradition, but specifically that of the unit which both of them served in. | |

In Octopath Traveler, Olberic the Warrior can challenge most NPCs to a one-on-one duel. If he wins, the NPC will be temporarily incapacitated and will move out of the way of whatever they were obstructing. H'aanit's Provoke works similarly, except she sets her captured animal companions upon the foe instead, and doesn't do any fighting herself. | |
