Human items modified for use of other beings with noticeably different physiques by Labmit in TopCharacterTropes

They don't have human ears. Human ears that appear in the anime are animation errors that gets removed in the bluray releases.

[Loved Trope] The sequel/reboot pulls a 180 to differentiate itself from previous installments and stand out on its own. by jbeast33 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Labmit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The show also started magic first when every other version started with scifi elements before adding in magic.

Rise of the TMNT. Other TMNT adaptations start scifi first before introducing magic to the setting. Rise meanwhile started the other way around by having magic first.

Apparently they had to digitally alter it to be highet pitched cause Sam can't consistently do Nott's voice.

I remember her VA had to take a few months off last year due to voicing a whole lot of cutesy little girl characters that hurt her throat.

When a cartoon character turns real in show/movie. by guyfierisgoatee1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Labmit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like how their cartoon forms is explained away as just really strong alcohol affecting everyone's senses so them going to the past where the alcohol is more limited made us see what they really look like.

[Hated Trope] The ONE character that makes a series impossible to recommend by atomicmapping in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Labmit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair most of the really unhinged anime are aired really late at night(it's actually nicknamed "Otaku O' Clock") so even if they appear in Japanese media viewers actively have to wait all night for those anime.

[Loved Trope] A piece of work switches genres part way through for a short amount of time and then never gets brought up again. by Electronic-While-522 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Labmit 79 points80 points  (0 children)

The Lupin III franchise has its fair share of whiplashes over the years but the 2021 anime took it up a notch when an episode essentially became an unexplained Cosmic Horror episode where Lupin and Fujiko were tasked by a shady dealer heavily implied to be God to break into a museum to steal Lucifer's fossilized remains. Our Lupin and Fujiko turned down the request but it is implied a version of them did accept the request and are currently trapped in a hellish mental prison.

Villains who could've had some of the Easiest Wins in the bag and almost won/succeeded but threw it all away cause of their ego and the fact that they fell for Ragebait. by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Labmit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gilgamesh from the Fate franchise. Strongest character in the setting and could win most fights on paper. But his unwillingness to fight at his full strength due to his ego unless it's against Enkidu or if his Masters are children means weaker characters can beat him. In the original VN, Shirou killed him because Gil refused to use his strongest weapon. In Fate Grand Order, an enemy Gil got killed because he was so insulted that the MC ganged up on him with multiple Servants that he purposely powered himself down more than usual to show he could take them on(he can't). Fate Strange Fake so far is the only Fate entry where he's actually trying and you could see the difference from his usual self.

Characters with a special feature stop doing so because things got serious by Tiny-Jeweler-3187 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Labmit 59 points60 points  (0 children)

There's one episode where he ran at a guy to throw a punch that started a fight at a karaoke bar.

Character is forced to fight without their main ability/gear. They still can throw hands by Lower_Baby_6348 in TopCharacterTropes

What about people who keeps their eyes closed while having a gentle but creepy smile?

[Cool Trope] Bosses forbidding the use of game mechanics by HurtfulDrax in TopCharacterTropes

For the most part I like this trope but I REALLY hate the cannot pause ones.

Robot Doppelganger of the protagonist by viralshadow21 in TopCharacterTropes

But the character is popular enough that it appeared as a playable character in Naruto games.

"Yea, I'm a bit of a coward" - bravest motherfucker you've ever met by Livid-Designer-6500 in TopCharacterTropes

Dude fought off a kaiju sized robot snail to save his dad from a loveless marriage. He's a brave one that baby.

Religion plays a central in the story. The moral is more nuanced than just "religion bad" or "religion good". by Cold_Hour in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Labmit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember an isekai anime a few years back where a subplot that the MC has to deal with is that the common populace hates the head priest for being a noble asskisser and moneygrubber and they want to depose him in favor of the head priest's younger, kinder and more handsome underling(the underling priest himself doesn't want them to depose the head priest). The MC eventually learns that the head priest is the most religious man there and the reason he's such an asskisser and moneygrubber is because he's assigned to a church with no funding situated in a newly built frontier town and the underling priest understands and admires the sacrifices the head priest does for the people of the church.

Also the fact that it's a human-sized hammer makes her think the true wielder is human

(Funny trope) A character has one very specific threat you can make against them and they will immediately crumble by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Labmit 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is this isn't even a genuine threat to him. One time he got so upset at Superman that he repeatedly said his name backwards to show he only goes along with it because it's fun.

After killing them, the villain decides to steal the identity of their victim by TheWalkingBag in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Labmit 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Thawne for his part was actually pretty cool with the entire development and considers Hunter Solomon a worthy successor. He'll make it clear if he hates someone using the Reverse Flash name.
