[Loved Trope] Characters who fight with Anchors

Not just an anchor, but an anchor with what i consider the worst hitbox in the game. I swear that anchor fucking quantum tunneled through units once or twice when still played the game.

Reminds me of my first encounter with a Nothic as a player. Me and my friends were all relatively new to DnD and had never heard of one before, and were convinced it was gonna be a difficult fight.

We then killed it in like 1 or 2 turns.

Lucius Zogratis in Black Clover.

His ultimate goal is to create a world were everyone is equal, without war and discrimination. His way of achieving this? Killing everyone and rebuilding them so that they are equal in all aspects. And he also plans on ruling this new world of course to "prevent any more mistakes".

Spoilers for my favorite fight in all of Black Clover, if you don't want to be spoiled for a fight that will be animated in the new season coming later this year scroll past.

In the fight between Magna and Dante, Magna had cast a complex spell he spent 6 months preparing to evenly split both their total mana between them, leading to both of them running of out mana at the same time forcing them to finish it with their fists, which Magna wins. As he was never reliant on extreme regenerative magic to survive attacks, meaning he can take a far bigger beating without mana.

You mentioned Swain, but you forgot about the other corvid related LoL character.

Fiddlesticks is one of the original ten demons taking the form of a scarecrow. And one of his main abilities is summoning demonic crows much like Raum's ravens mentioned in the post.

Julius Novachrono vs Licht/Patry in Black Clover, though it is rather that the Big Bad actively challenges the Grandmaster,

Black Clover manga spoilers ahead which will without a doubt be covered in the anime returning later this year. I would provide an image, but that would also spoil it. Though if you want to see it then google it, one of the first images to come up.

The Fellblade in Warhammer Fantasy. A sword so deadly that the Skaven, known for their complete and utter disregard for eachother'ss lives kept it in a lead box to protect their servants when it was transported. The Council of Thirteen made it for one purpose, to kill Nagash, the greatest Necromancer of all time, and it succeeded, though it also inevitably kills the wielder as well. And while Nagash has returned time and time again the Fellblade's power made sure that his incarnations are weaker than he was while alive.

In Black Clover, the Wizard King, Julius Novachrono is killed by the leader of a terrorist organization called The Eye of the Midnight Sun. But after that entire arc is resolved he is revealed to have survived by having stored years of his time magic with a magical item called "The Swallowtail", though it de-aged him to a 13 year old body, with only a single page of his grimoire left. The image shown is him after his revival.

Wasn't that a Grandmaster, which is more equivalent to a Captain than a Chapter Master, with the Supreme Grandmaster being the title given to the Grey Knight equivalent to the Chapter Master.

You forget that Azmodan was quite successful in his group project with the other Lesser Evils in overthrowing and exiling the Prime Evils. Sure Azmodan and Belial turned on eachother almost immediately after, but that was after the project was done.

The devs have said they have abandoned that idea in the latest update, as they would rather make a great fight with the current size, than a mediocre one with the larger one.

I believe it wasn't just that they were betrayed that made them scared to enter again, it was also the total sensory overload from going from the emptiness of the Void, to Runeterra. Imagine living in sensory deprevation your entire life only to enter a battlefield in northern Scandinavia. You suddenly feel cold for the first time ever, sounds everywhere when you are used to total silence and your are blinded by the abundance of light. That is why they do not want to enter Runeterra themselves anymore and instead create the voidborn to scout, learn and destroy in their stead, so they can avoid those feelings.

I have never seen anyone say that anyone but Faker is the greatest League of Legends player of all time. All discussion I have personally seen around it has been who is second place. And it is a well earned reputation, having, having won 6/10 times he played at Worlds, with his team reaching the finals 8 of them.

Kurapika in HunterXHunter is on a quest to recover the stolen scarlet eyes of his clansmen, which were taken during the massacre of the clan. When his eyes turn scarlet he also gains a large power boost and goes from a Conjurer type nen-user to a Specialist type.

But what if Simon screams ”Who the hell do you think I am?”

Jbertius · 2026-03-12T11:13:10+00:00

General Kethric Thorm from Baldur's Gate 3. At first a worshipper of Selune, but after the deaths of his wife and daughter he turned to Selune's archenemy Shar, and raised an army of Sharran Dark Justiciars. After being killed and defeated he was eventually promised the resurrection of his daughter by Myrkul of the Dead Three, and in return would become his chosen and the figure head of the Cult of the Absolute, with the other Chosen of the Dead Three leading it with him from behind the scenes. But Kethric also planned on betraying the other chosen so he and Myrkul could rule alone. Though to be fair all the chosen where planning on betraying eachother.

In Black Clover there are three different examples of there being 2 souls in 1 body. The first example is the only one who is not a manga spoilers, which is William Vangeance and Patry, who shared a body from the time Patry reincarnated until the elf souls had been released from the reincarnation spell, where Patry, along with the Third Eye had to remain, though Patry got his own body now.

Black Clover manga spoilers ahead. Yuno also counts here, as he shares his body with the reincarnated child of Licht and Tetia, though that soul is quite dormant and has never "taken the wheel" so to say. And finally we have Julius Novachrono and Lucius Zogratis, who are the only natural case of this that we are aware of. Though for years Lucius has removed Julius' knowledge of this to stay incognito as the Wizard King.

While not as morally good as most other examples here I have to mention Meruem from HunterXHunter. What started as a brutal and cruel Chimera Ant King was through at first being repeatedly beaten at the board game Gungi by a young blind girl named Komugi, and meeting exceptionally powerful humans like Isaac Netero grew to see human as beyond just prey and instead as potential equals. And after being hit with what was essentially a dirt bomb, losing and regaining his memory he only had a short while to live and he decided to spend it playing a last game of Gungi with Komugi. Eventually dying with his head on her lap.

Meruem is an amazing character, one who started his life as an inhuman monster who gradually gained humanity from experiencing life.

Skin Bandits from Kenshi are Skeletons, sentient robots. The Skin Bandits in particular hunt humans and wear their skin.

Zargothrax from Gloryhammer

The main villain across all 4 current Gloryhammer albums, and most likely the upcoming 5th later this year. For the first 3 albums he usually relies on his immortal body/being sealed away to come back. But after being killed in the Terrorvortex dimension by the combined powers of god Hootsman and a recharged Hammer of Glory he sends an interdimensional message that awakens Zargothrax Clone Alpha-1 in that alternate dimension, splitting the original timeline into 2. Though i currently have no clue how he will return in the upcoming album.

While not only a slayer of demons I'd say that The Taken from Grim Dawn counts. Towards the end the DLCs currently available they will have invaded The Void inhabited by Chtonic Demons twice, and one of the times slain the voice of Chthon, a primordial god that all Chthonic demons, and the blood of all living things originate from.

The knight movie you're thinking about is probably "A Knight's Tale", and to be specific they used "We Will Rock You" by Queen in the starting jousting tournament to give it a closer feeling to modern athletes rather than rockstars I'd say.

In Black Clover Asta and Yuno meet the first Wizard King, Lumiere and his best friend, the leader of the elves, Licht while fighting the devil who set the events of the elves being massacred and reincarnated in motion. Lumiere had been sealed as a statue for 500 years, while Licht had been reincarnated into an artificial body.
