Weapons Aside

''Awww... how lowly and disgusting.''

When two enemies are just Mere Moments Away from defeating each other, they stop to reevaluate their decision and (after some emotional memories) show the other mercy by not fighting after all. They then put their Weapons Aside and make up for their differences.

This may not always end well. There can be a moment where we're shown flashbacks one or both characters have about the other supporting them. This can lead to the dominant/winning character finishing off their opponent while they're weak and inactive.

Examples of Weapons Aside
The Simpsons - Lisa On Ice. As the audience in a hockey game call out "Kill Bart! or "Kill, Bart!" (depending on which team they're cheering for), Bart and Lisa take the time to halt in their tracks and remember times when they were younger and for each other, not against. After the Good Times Montage, they put aside their hockey sticks and hug.
