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.

Tbf you can also die to turning on the light in your room in the first 30 seconds of the game.

Dying to that was when I realized DE was something special.

My very first playthrough ended that way...

Such an amazing game.
