You Can Barely Stand	comment	As a rule, much of fiction ends with the villain being defeated by the hero. This should be dramatic, but if the true villain isn't that physically powerful, then this is going to be a rather short fight. Sure, a writer could give their master manipulator a Humongous Mecha or have your amoral industrialist secretly be a martial arts master, but there's also something satisfying in bringing the invincible hero down a few pegs. Many pegs. To the point where they're already a few moments from death when they meet; this has the effect of showing that the character isn't fearless simply due to having superior power, but superior character-strength even when stripped of those abilities. You Can Barely Stand is a scene where the villain meets the hero when he's in no fit state to fight. The threat of blood loss or collapse is as much a threat as the bad guy slapping him about and telling him he's failed and that he's Not So Invincible After All. The reason for the injuries can include a special weakness, having been poisoned, having been tortured, magical influence, or having just gotten the crap kicked out of him by either the Mooks or The Dragon. Either way, the hero will eventually get a dramatic burst and fight on despite his weakened state, and will usually defeat their foe by the slightest of margins. Only once they've won will they be allowed the luxury of collapsing. For a truly Bittersweet Ending, they might never get up again. On the flip-side, The Hero may be fighting a lackey who's just too stubborn to quit. In pity, the hero tells the lackey that they should surrender, or just leaves the fight themselves. This often happens in the leadup to a Heel–Face Turn. A common form of Drama-Preserving Handicap. A villainous version of Tempting Fate. If the hero is at their physical best when meeting the villain face-to-face, expect the hero to suffer a Game-Breaking Injury. May manifest as Injured Player Character Stage. One hero might say this to another one who insists that they can still fight. Compare: Heroic Resolve, Heroic Second Wind, The Man Behind the Curtain, Determinator, Worf Had the Flu. Often caused by Combat Breakdown or Crippling the Competition.

You Can Barely Stand / int_13665790	comment	Vimes in Thud! fights off a small army of dwarfs while badly beaten from a fall, cold and wet, and highly disorientated. However, this is (probably) because of the Summoning Dark trying to control him. Where he really shows his Heroic Resolve is that, once he's run out of armed opponents, he stops. The effort involved to STOP...nearly tore his body apart, literally.

You Can Barely Stand / int_1367cea0	comment	In Worm, Chevalier, leader of the Protectorate, is hospitalized after an assassination attempt that involved carving out his guts with a high-intensity cutting laser. Having just undergone major surgery to stabilize him, Chevalier awakens to find that in his absence the defense against Behemoth has gone poorly, with the city of New Delhi almost destroyed and most of the defending superheroes injured or dead. After getting some information on Behemoth's weaknesses from Tattletale, Chevalier grabs his sword, limps out of the hospital, charges Behemoth-a forty-five foot tall horned abomination that can instantly kill anything within thirty meters-and then hurts him badly enough to make him run. Khepri pulls this off late in the series, due to mental rather than physical damage. Terrifyingly enough, this doesn't make them any less dangerous.

You Can Barely Stand / int_1cc09117	comment	Every single fight in Bleach, notably during the Soul Society Arc. Subverted twice in the Hueco Mundo arc when Grimmjow encounters Ichigo barely able to stand, and has Orihime heal him; and Nnoitra beats the hell out of an already-almost-dead Ichigo. Lampshaded when Ichigo gets a nasty cut as usual during said fight — except this time his torso is sliced almost in half. On the topic of standing, his opponent gleefully informs him, "It isn't a matter of willpower; it's a structural impossibility." Ouch. Uryu, on the other hand, has a technique that overcomes "structural impossibility" by turning his own body into what amounts to a telekinetically-controlled puppet. This allows him to keep fighting even after his body is paralyzed by a poison that shuts down all voluntary muscle movement.

This might have been a short fight since Angel has a long record of getting soundly beaten every time he fights a Slayer (Faith herself managed to bounce him off the ceiling while attempting Suicide by Cop) so before the big fight, she gets beaten to a bloody pulp by The Juggernaut. Oh, and gives herself a massive dose of magical opiates. She still nearly beats him, because Slayers are just that badass.

Good thing she sits in her command chair. Also an example: that duel itself. She was already a wreck when she staggered into the Parliament session to denounce the Big Bad in front of everybody, and then he tried to outfox her by demanding a duel when she was clearly in no state to fight. He was one of the most accomplished duelers on the planet, and she had never so much as picked up a sword until she came to Grayson. She killed him in one stroke.

His ARMS — the Jabberwock — will only come out if he is in serious danger. The result of this is that almost every enemy sent to kill the Jabberwock will try to make it come out by beating the stuffing out of Ryo. And since he hates the Jabberwock, he always puts in a great deal of effort to just let himself get pummeled and not release the ARMS.

At the end of the fight, he appears to remain unflinching as an enemy attack comes flying towards his face only to stop mere inches away. His Post-Victory Collapse reveals he probably couldn't have dodged even if he wanted to. In the final battle, Greed tells everyone who's been injured to get off the "elevator", including Roy whose eyesight was removed as a toll for seeing the Truth. He still chooses to fight. In the 2003 anime version, Roy kills Pride after being sliced, impaled, and altogether getting the crap kicked out of him. And immediately after that, he's shot in the eye! Ed attempts this after being impaled by a support beam, and...makes it about five feet before collapsing.

You Can Barely Stand / int_3aeb1c75	comment	A staple in every single climactic battle in Dragon Ball, each tending to go upwards from there in the following arcs. Expect title pages of manga chapters after one of these is over to be the victor sitting exhausted and battered on the ground. The most iconic examples would be: Goku Vs. Jackie Chun. The Tournament final results in a double knockout, so per the rules, the first person to stand up and say "I am the champion" will be declared the winner. Both take over a minute to stand up, but while Goku says "I am the champi..." he faints before he can finish the sentence, giving Jackie the chance to do it himself and win. Goku Vs. King Piccolo. Goku gets his left arm and both of his legs broken. Still, Goku manages to win by focusing all of his strength in his right arm to fire a Kamehameha that propels him into the air and punch through Piccolo. Goku Vs. Piccolo Jr. Being aware of that leaving Goku one healthy arm was a mistake, Piccolo now completely incapacitates Goku by breaking all of his limbs. Still, Goku manages to win by charging with his own body, using all of his remaining Ki to fly. Goku Vs. Vegeta: Goku gets his whole body incapacitated through desperate use of the Kai-Ken and getting wrecked by Oozaru Vegeta, but still manages to form a small Spirit Bomb and pass it to Krillin, who returns alongside Gohan. In a notable exception to most other fights, nearly every single combatant at the end of the fight is barely able to sit up by the end. Goku Vs. Frieza: After Frieza manages to cut himself in half, he's reduced to this state, and he pleads Goku for some ki. Goku relents, and Frieza rubs his empathy in his face before firing an attack at him while he leaves. Goku responds in kind, easily killing his opponent. Gohan Vs. Cell: Gohan gets his right arm maimed while trying to save Vegeta from Cell. Still, thanks to Goku's encouragement, Gohan forms a Kamehameha with a single arm that destroys Cell in a Beam-O-War, once Vegeta distracts him for a split second.

You Can Barely Stand / int_41b0198a	comment	Harry Dresden. In nearly every book. In Fool Moon, he basically uses up his magic — and that's before he even has a chance to confront the pack of werewolves he came to fight. Played with in Turn Coat: While it's really obvious that he can barely stand (numerous bandages, about to fall over from lack of sleep, and what have you) and he's hopelessly outnumbered, none of the other Wardens want to attack him because they've all heard about the crazy crap he's pulled when he's running on nothing but sheer bloodymindedness. Subverted in Changes, where the traditional early book injury is his back being broken, leaving him completely unable to fight or even move his legs. He accepts Mab's offer to be the Winter Knight, and for once goes into the fight not just fresh but stronger than he was when the book started. The RPG rulebook lampshades it. Harry asks why all the pictures of him show him beat to crap. Billy says it's because they're pictures of him on the case, and when he's on a case he's usually beat to crap. A little later on, Harry singles out one picture from a case file where he's not all beat up — only for Billy to point out it's from early in the case, and there's already a visible bruise on Harry's face.

Normally they would be no match for him, but the Mercury (Water) energy drastically weakens Saturos's Mars (Fire) Psynergy and gives Mia, who is a Mercury Adept, Psy Point regeneration. Still a somewhat challenging boss fight. Later in the game, at Venus Lighthouse, you fight Saturos and his partner Menardi to prevent them from lighting the lighthouse. Due to your massive increase in strength since the previous fight at Mercury, you defeat them with (relative) ease. After the fight, Mia actually says outright, "You can barely stand," in response to a comment from the injured Saturos. Cue Mia eating her words, dragon style. This trope, but with the roles reversed.

When she puts her sword to his throat, he brings up this trope and gives her three days, enforced in the contract, so she can recover from her injuries. Later after gaining respect for Teigen, Mizu leaves a contract for them to meet after her Roaring Rampage of Revenge is complete so she can fight him at her fullest strength and focus.

Regardless of how the fight goes, they're forced to make a hasty retreat because the fight with Felix and Co. took too much out of them, and the heroes from the last game are on their way up. Once the villains leave, Isaac and co. arrive and a tense standoff ensues between the two teams (long story). Ivan defuses the situation by suggesting they return to the local village to resolve things, as both teams are too tired to fight.

While fighting Stenmun, Kel gets stabbed in the shoulder. She manages to give herself a makeshift bandage after the fight, but by the time she faces Blayce, she's woozy from blood loss and needs to lean on her glaive. It's the only reason why Blayce's illusion spells kept her at bay for as long as they did. She ends up passing out from the blood loss afterwards, though luckily her friends find her.

To ensure that it will be a fair match, Liquid injects Snake with some awesome drug, then, as they Cutscene Power to the Max, they continue to inject themselves with more and more of the drug, until despite their advanced ages, they are able to fight as if they were in their prime. This quickly devolves, however, to a You Can Barely Stand battle, as, in the end, the drug wears out, and it goes from two accomplished hand-to-hand combatants duking it out to two old men savagely slugging each other with whatever power they can muster. Note that Ocelot has a good 4 life bars, one for each game in the solid series, in different styles!

After Link meets up with Ganondorf for his last battle, the Gerudo rushes over and beats the stuffing out of Link. Thankfully, Zelda awakens, and the fight soon commences. Then, at the end of his sword-to-swordfight with Ganondorf and some assistance from Zelda, Link sends the Master Sword through Ganondorf's head, jumps back, and proceeds to bend over and collapse into the approaching Zelda's arms. But after a fight like that, who wouldn't be tired? The final retrievable memory of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild shows a very battered and exhausted Link defending Zelda from a huge wave of Guardians with a rusted and decayed Master Sword. Zelda is, fortunately, able to awaken her Royalty Super Power at this moment of desperation to deactivate all the Guardians, but Link ultimately falls after that, requiring Zelda to have him placed in the Shrine of Resurrection for the next century to heal.

Done with somewhat different implications in the animated series finale "Legacy," where a depowered Superman lets out his anger on Lex Luthor, shattering the latter's jaw in one punch. Subverted in one instance in the comics (fighting a makeshift squad of villains). He's very ill, but still very strong. The conflict is that, as he says to the villains, he is so sick he has no idea if his punches will remove heads from necks. After a long battle in Superman: Up, Up and Away!, Superman is tired, injured and making Luthor boast he'll beat the alien to death with his bare punches. He's summarily knocked down. In Red Daughter of Krypton, Supergirl is seriously weakened after fighting a parasitic lifeform known as Worldkiller-1 in a Kryptonite-poisoned atmosphere. Barely alive, she uses her Red Lantern Ring to teleport both of them to the Sun and tricks Worldkiller-1 into dumping her into the star. Revived by the sudden flood of sunlight charging up her cells, Kara flies after Worldkiller-1 and curbstomps him.

And yet... (Lampshaded by at least one reader, who notes in the comments that this is the surest way to make one's foe get up again.) In "King of Swords", White Chain insists on taking her right to fight a match against Mother Om's (likely more formidable) peer, God-Emperor Solomon David, even though her artificial stone body has been nearly torn apart by previous battles. Solomon says that, in her current state, it would be nothing but an execution. They fight the next day, with White Chain getting repairs before the match, so in this sense, the trope is defied by Solomon. Typically for Solomon's brand of honour, he's not really being nice here; he has demonstrated with other opponents that he could kill her instantly regardless, if he didn't choose to let the match last longer.

(This is referred to as the "Spirit of '76" spot when the bandaged and battered face comes staggering out for the match anyway.) More commonly used now since the advent of the Money In The Bank match, which gives the winner the right to challenge the champion at any time, even right after a grueling title match where the title holder has been beaten brutally. Use of it this way often starts a Face–Heel Turn for the wrestler who wins the title this way.

Even earlier in the Manga, Zoro fights Buggy's first mate Cabaji, a swordsman, after being stabbed through the side by one of Buggy's knives. Cabaji makes it a point to go after the wound repeatedly...and after repelling him, Zoro cuts the wound WIDER, just to prove he can beat Cabaji even with that handicap. Also Zoro — the post-Oz Kuma encounter when he is so injured he can't stand, and yet uses Kuma's magic paw-bubble to take all of Luffy's damage too, and the post-Kuma multi-Kuma fight where his injuries from the Kuma encounter make him collapse, whereupon he gets up again to use his most powerful technique, whereupon he is struck with a light beam/laser thing, whereupon he gets up again to face down Kuma (who is surprised that he survived that first encounter) whereupon he has vanished away to Nightmare Before Christmas-land. Where, upon waking, he tries to get up again but luckily has been semi-mummified by Perona. Whereupon... wait, you said that part already. Whitebeard during the Marineford Arc, for multiple reasons. First of all, whilst he holds the title of 'Strongest Man in the World', he is very old and has multiple health problems. This does not stop him almost taking down the entire Marine HQ with his earthquake powers, and casually curbstomping some of the most powerful individuals in the series. Then, once he is fatally injured by Sakazuki after said health problems begin to affect him during a fight, following Ace's death, he goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Sakazuki, and then when Blackbeard shows up to kill him, he manages to defeat Blackbeard with two huge holes in his torso.

Inigo survives through Heroic Willpower by repeating "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." over and over, not only shrugging off the pain but sword-fighting and eventually killing Rugen. Westley manages to best Humperdinck by challenging him to a duel, while painstakingly describing all the ways that Humperdinck will be left mutilated when Westley wins. This is all a bluff, since Westley is still recovering from having been nearly dead earlier and barely has enough strength to stand, let alone swing a sword. He was counting on Humperdinck being such a Dirty Coward that he'd throw his weapon and surrender.

You Can Barely Stand / int_b9b796cf	comment	Fate/stay night Unlimited Blade Works Lancer basically takes out a major villain and a minor one, both non-heroic spirits, while suffering one such wound. That wound is being stabbed through the heart with his own magic spear. His response? "As if I would die from a wound like this." We must emphasize this wound is through the heart. With a spear that causes wounds that cannot be healed. And appropriately enough in the scene happening parallel to that one, we have Shirou. During the course of his fight, he's broken his fingers, gotten covered in cuts, has various other broken appendages, and is all but dead due to being outmatched. Quite literally the only thing keeping him swinging is a full-on Determinator mode. Shirou in HF too. He. Will. Save. Sakura.

Your dying captain tosses you his sidearm, and the game's final action is a blurry slow-motion sequence where you shoot down the Big Bad and his two bodyguards before they can react and kill you. Modern Warfare 2's climax has you falling off a few hundred-foot high waterfall after shooting down the Big Bad's helicopter. You recover, limping and badly injured, just in time for a hand-to-hand CQC fight with the Big Bad who is in much better condition following the crash. Modern Warfare 3's ending has you storm a gigantic Hotel highrise chasing after Makarov. As per usual in the Modern Warfare series you lose your weaponry (due to almost falling off the building), are critically injured (due to hijacking the escape helicopter but crashing it), and have to kill the Big Bad with basic weaponry (except this time you have to do it with your bare hands!)

You Can Barely Stand / int_d7c4626a	comment	A non-combat version from The Sandman (1989): an unnamed country punishes criminals by hanging. The big cities always have enough people willing to become professional hangmen, but in smaller towns, people aren't willing to face the social stigma. So what the small towns do is choose a condemned prisoner who's unlikely to be too much trouble and offer to suspend his sentence if he'll act as hangman. That "suspend" is key; if the prisoner isn't hanged sooner or later, the town loses its right to have a hangman. One character accepts the offer, but as natural death approaches, he decides that he'd really prefer to die in his own bed. When the enforcers arrive, he's standing to meet them, although he was too ill to move, let alone stand, a mere panel or two before. Once the enforcers leave, we find that the character was supported by one of his own hangman's ropes, strung to a roof beam.

Saitou and Aoshi are implied to be able to stand a serious chance against Shishio in a fair fight, but injured as they are all they can do is buy Kenshin time to get up again. Also in the anime when he fights Shura, Kenshin is hit by a poisoned dart and can't exactly see properly or stand up straight.

Even Crysania, when she opposed him at first, sees him as a pitiable figure. And when Caramon confronts him in the Abyss, Raistlin had been burnt, stabbed, frozen, sheared and skewered to within an inch of his life, and yet Caramon still holds back. Not only because of lingering brotherly concern but because even then Raistlin is still dangerous. 98% of his magic had been expended, but that last 2% was still enough to be worried about, not to mention his dagger of last resort that he had no compunctions to using.

This trope needs to be renamed "You Can't Even Stand" to refer to the more serious instances. In the Sanctuary arc, Hyoga was entombed by Camus using his Freezing Coffin technique and left for dead. Shiryu broke him free with the libra sword. This left him in a semi-comatose state (but he could Barely Stand). After lampshading this trope, Camus intended to finish him off with an Aurora Excusion. Hyoga learns Camus's Aurora Excusion technique and defeats him in a Power Struggle while barely conscious. Seiya is poisoned by Royal Demon Roses on his way to the Pope's chamber, until all he could manage was crawl his way to the chamber. Once there, the Pope made him blind, deaf, dumb, and robbed him of his sense of smell and touch as well, then banished him to another dimension. He won anyway.
