In Digimon Frontier, Lucemon beats the shit out of the heroes by piledriving them straight into conveniently-placed moons.

In Digimon Adventure, Vademon summons a planet (complete with rings) to keep AtlurKabuterimon (MegaKabuterimon) away.

With the Clow Cards free, Kero warns of a catastrophe that will befall the world if they're not captured, only to later reveal that the catastrophe isn't this trope.

Subverted in the Clow Card arc of Cardcaptor Sakura.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out what would happen if it's fired at Earth. Tsutomu Nihei, the author of Blame, stated that Killy's Graviton Beam Emitter would cause a substantial environmental change when fired on Earth.Koro-sensei already destroyed 70% of the moon, and if Class E can't kill him within a year, he'll do the same to Earth. The threat of this trope happening is part of the premise for Assassination Classroom.'Cause if you've just got a big laser, all you're going to do is drill a buttonhole in it. Even if your huge laser manages to blast into the planet, you still have to overcome the gravity of all that rock with some sort of explosion capable of sending all thousands of quintillions of tons far enough away that it won't just clump together again (you'd obviously still succeed in slaughtering all the inhabitants if this happened, but then if that was all you cared about you'd have just used the 'saturate the surface with nukes' method above).

Actually shattering a world is in fact considerably harder than TV makes it look. Wikipedia refers to ships and weapons capable of doing this as Planet Killers. This is Colony Drop and Kill Sat taken to the extreme.

In other series, there's no way to stop the Earth-Shattering Kaboom, and the subsequent storylines focus on the actions of the few survivors as they try to carry on, seek revenge or simply live with the fact that their home has been completely obliterated.Ī slightly less devastating (and, due to the vastly reduced energy requirement, significantly more realistic) variation of this is to simply blast the surface of the planet until the air hums with radioactivity and nothing can live on it, for example, the 'glassing' of planets in the Halo verse.

Some series prefer to have this as the final goal of the Big Bad, with the heroes racing to stop him.
