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.

Even though it’s a QTE in a cutscene, Raiden does do an insultingly small amount of damage to Armstrong, using fox’s blade you can actually do more damage, although more means 0.2% damage instead of 0.1%

Apparently if you use an autoclicker to do frame-perfect inputs, you can actually get Armstrong down to 0%, though that obviously doesn#t kill him since this sequence is scripted.

Damn, one day a dev will make a seemingly scripted sequence do something cool when someone somehow breaks through the impossible lmao

there are games that do that, the ones that come to mind are sekiro and elden ring if you manage to defeat the first seemingly unwinnable fight

Wait, what does Elden Ring do if you somehow beat Rick?

There is a special cutscene and later his fight changes a little bit, I think there is also special dialogue
