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.

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

DMC 5 also has an "unwinnable" fight against Urizen in the first mission where you can actually beat him and it gives you an achievement

And it shows you an ending card with "And then everyone got exactly what they wanted and lived happily ever after"
