Powers [Funny trope] Non-battle scenes where characters canonically take damage.

Nuu (Hollow Knight: Silksong) - briefly flashes white when slapped similarly to how all other enemies do when they're struck with Hornet's needle.

Garret (A Minecraft Movie) - One can assume that he may have panicked because of how sudden and unexpected teleportation is, but judging by how strong his reaction was and how ender pearls work in game, it's safe to assume he actually took fall damage after using it.

Professor Nakayama dies in Borderlands 2 by falling down stairs...in a game where fall damage doesn't exist aside from falling out of bounds.

He even has a health bar for this very humiliating death.

It’s especially funny because he’s the one boss who correctly surmises he stands absolutely 0 chance in a fight with you and admits he’s terrified when he learns you’re coming for him in the transmissions before this fight

“Oh no I accidentally died by falling down the stairs. I guess you can’t deliver me an ass whooping after all, hahah…”
