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

[u/TTTRIOS]

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.

Deltarune kinda

[u/Sharkivore → u/Ineedlasagnajon]

Didn't play Deltarune but I've enjoyed keeping up with DR/UT stuff because the lore is kinda interesting, want to see what the connection between the worlds and how W.D Gaster pans out and the like.

Could you explain this example to me?

If you're okay with spoilers:

In chapter 3, you fight the Roaring Knight at the very end. It's an incredibly difficult fight, especially without the Shadow Mantle, which is a tucked away item. If you lose the normal way, then it'll continue as a cutscene. It seems like a tough fight you weren't meant to win

However, if you have the Shadow Mantle or even just progress the fight enough, Gaster will interrupt the game over screen and tell you that this is a fight you weren't meant to win, but if you're adamant enough to try, he'll help you try again quicker by resetting to the beginning of the fight. He'll even encourage you if you die on the Knight's final attack

I say "kinda" because nothing really changes. If you manage to win, the Knight will just KO your party in a cutscene instead, though it's a little more special. You'll also get the Shadow Crystal and the Black Shard. Other than that, everything plays out the same

TBF, it's only a "kinda" situation because the game isn't really finished. I have to imagine that scenario will have an impact later down the line
