* Referenced in the anime of ''[[Trigun]]'' by Hoppared the Gauntlet, who declares himself as an invincible shield and [[The Gunslinger|Vash]]'s guns as an unstoppable spear.
* Discussed in [[Saint Seiya]] during Seiya's early fight with Shiryu and even referred to as such. In a twist, Shiryu's in possession of ''both''; his shield too strong for Seiya to breach while also having considerably greater raw strength at his disposal. Seiya ultimately solves the conundrum by tricking Shiryu into attacking him in such a way that when he dodges, he ends up punching into his own shield. {{spoiler|The shield breaks, but Shiryu also nearly breaks his hand in the process and is forced to continue the fight without his Cloth.}}

* ''[[Ace Attorney]]'': Edgeworth tells a story of a weapon merchant presenting gifts to a lord; a spear which can pierce any armor, and a shield which can stop any weapon. The lord immediately pointed out the contradiction, embarrassing the merchant. This story inspired the design for the present day Prosecutor of the Year trophy; a broken shield, and a broken knife. Thematically, it's the equivalent of Ancient Romes "''[[wikipedia:Memento mori|memento mori]]''", reminding prosecutors they are not unbeatable.
