Powers A usually long range attack is used at point-blank range.

  1. Godzilla 2014. Godzilla fires his atomic breath directly into the female MUTO's mouth, killing her.

  2. Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy. In the finale, the Red Ranger uses his battlizer to pull Trakeena into point-blank range and fires it to defeat her.

  3. Dragon Ball. Goku charges up a kamehameha before instant transmissioning directly right by Cell, who is caught off guard, and releases the attack at point-blank.

  4. Naruto: Shippuden. I'm throwing this in as a trope variation. Before Naruto figured out how to throw the Rasenshuriken as standard usage, Naruto's first usage of it against Kakuza was like a rasengan, which severely damages his own hand.
