Weapons Aside

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

When two enemies are just Mere Moments Away from defeating each other, stop to reevaluate their actions, and (after some emotional memories) each show their opponent mercy by ending the fight. During this UnTrash's playing, there can be a moment where the audience is shown flashbacks one or both characters have about the other supporting them, which then causes the action to die down and the scene to transition into a Heartwarming Moment. Despite Weapons Aside being an enabler for such a moment, this will not be guaranteed to end well for both fighters. The following scene can be of the dominant/winning character finishing off their opponent while they're weak and off-guard.

An alternative explanation for Weapons Aside being played is one of the fighters realized that fighting goes nowhere and that it'd be best for the combatants to cease fire. Like with the basic playing of Weapons Aside above, this call to a truce won't always have a happy ending. The opposing fighter might argue that their enemy is trying to lower their guard and play a Ceasefire Fake-Out trick on them, which might result in the more passive fighter being overtaken by their foe.
