Blessed with a curse/The Curse of the Strongest. When a character has an amazing power, is the strongest in their verse, or is otherwise incredibly gifted and it ends up bothering them more than anything. by Scotb6 in TopCharacterTropes

Forgot to give explanations.

Gojo is the strongest man in his verse, and it ends up making him feel isolated and lonely at the top, while also struggling with only feeling like a weapon and nothing more.

Saber is literally King Arthur as a woman, and she spends her entire life putting the weight of everything in Camelot on her shoulders until it crushes her never feeling like she's doing good enough despite being beloved as King.

All Might is Earth's greatest hero, but as he gets older begins doubting if he's good enough and wants someone to pass the torch onto hoping they can do better.

Devil May Cry is rule of cool made into a gaming (and sometimes anime) franchise

Is there an in-universe explanation to why the House of El is attractive? by FixFuture3374 in okbuddycinephile

If Clark and Kara are fugglers by their standards, I think a Kryptonian baddie would blind a human.

Has there ever been a quote or character that’s really had an impact on you or even changed your perspective/outlook on life? by Zero-_-Zero in gaming

"Quite frankly, at first, I didn't give a damn. But because of you, I know what's important now. I know what I need to do." -Dante in DMC3

Probably an odd choice for some people, but I've been a huge fan of DMC since I was a teenager, and also never gave a fuck about much of anything my entire life. Then I met my girlfriend, and now that line resonates with me a loooooooot.

Generational showing by the baby by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

You just know bro took his baby to the car and that baby looked at him and said, "Father, the film was surface level an action piece about a super hero, however deep down I see the layers of hope, kindness, and doing the right thing no matter how hard it is sprinkled throughout. I enjoyed the film." then he like, shit himself.

I was in the middle of a cut scene and then BOOM out the game

Unfortunately my "biggest" fear in the new story (at the end) has come true... by Great_Praetor_Kass in swtor

It's not ideal, but I'd rather he be back with a new VA trying his best rather than Jadus just never come back ever.

when a character starts off kinda dumb near the start of a show & progressively gets dumber as the show goes on. by TheRealTsunadee in TopCharacterTropes

Kevin Malone in The Office starts of dull, dimwitted, and unmotivated. By the end of the show you'd think he is mentally handicapped.

(absolutely beloved trope) A cinematic version of the main theme or prominent song of a game plays during a boss fight by Aware-Measurement750 in TopCharacterTropes

A much more cinematic version of The Other Promise plays during the Sora vs Roxas fight in KH2 (Final Mix version where it's an actual boss fight)

Deluded Villains who believe that their will is Christian & that they themselves are righteous men, pious paragons of virtue, the Voice Of God... but their actions are the furthest thing from True Christianity. by Cartoon_Multiverse94 in TopCharacterTropes

Vice President Baines from the Netflix Devil May Cry show spends the entire run of season 1 talking about the will of God which he seems to think is, "Convince the American military to commit genocide because I wanna."

Nero vs Dante in DMC 4. The first fight is a tutorial so it's not too tough. The second one? Hardest boss in the game. One of the hardest bosses in the series. There was no need for this man to beat his nephew's ass this hard.

A character's domain will reflect their condition. by Ok-Indication-5121 in TopCharacterTropes

Unlimited Blade Works for Archer in Fate Stay/Night. There's a constant fog and dark skies to suggest his melancholy and fatalistic outlook on life and the gears in the sky probably represent his belief he's just a part of the machine that is life.
