ITT you post cliches you love

I like the cliche of some character being secretly powerful. Even if they're already strong, but have some secret extra power, like when Satellizer fights while unconscious. Terumi in Blazblue claiming is he bad at fighting. Even characters who have no right being powerful at all somehow being the best combatant in their world.

Imagine if some random genki girl character we've never seen before just picked up a Light Saber in Star Wars one day and could take on the best Jedi like it was nothing just because she is so incredibly and naturally talented and skilled, while giggling about how 'this is fun' while her opponent is freaking out about how can she possibly be keeping up with him and so on. Then when her opponent things he's found and opening and tries to cut her in half, she just moves much faster than she had before and blocks it like it was a joke while 'ooh that was cool!'

That kind of thing works too.

My secret hope is that the reason Tatsumaki is so protective of her sister, Fubuki, is that is secretly super powerful, like much more powerful than Tatsumaki, and has certain trigger conditions (like maybe being unconscious, or something else) where she goes Mob Psycho 100 levels of ESP overpowered and levels entire cities.

I fucking love this shit so much.

I love it when a show pits a character up against multiple opponents who are established to be as strong/stronger than her but she still manages to hold her own against them due to shear ingenuity or willpower.

>>151938866
The first girl the MC usually sees is his childhood friend though.

>Villainess is the best girl.
So rare. So great.

>>151938874
I love any 'with a heart of Gold' characters but my favorite is the insecure narcissist with a heart of Gold.

Example:

Kongou Mitsuko from Railgun. She is so insecure that she constantly makes shit up and talks about fucking awesome she is compared to everyone else because she thinks it'll get her friends, except it does the exact opposite and pushes people away. She's too stupid to notice the great friends she already has. But when someone threatens even just her slightly-more-than-acquaintances she is the first person to show up on the scene to help them out of life-of-death situations without much thought to her own safety. I just love her 'big damn hero' moments when she shows up and saves everyone MULTIPLE FUCKING TIMES, as a rando side-character.

I also love it when non-combatant/side characters are the biggest god damn heroes when they have absolutely no right to be. Like Rachel in Baccano!.

I don't know why I like it so much, but I always enjoy when I see it. Like you see one of those people he cares about get scratched and it always ends up getting my instantly hyped;

>>151938866
While in such scenario is usually the childhood friend (wake up anon-kun!) the first girl he sees, I understand your point, and is sad when that girl is violent tsundere, and still falls for her.

I dont know if this can be considered a cliche and more just another trope

But I love when hero is dating a villian, both of them know each other is their mortal enemy but cant help to be attracted to each other, of course they have to keep it secret from their teams.

Terumi is nothing like the examples you posted because he was only pretending to be weak in the first game but has a ridiculously complicated backstory spanning like five games that gradually explains exactly why he's so powerful that becomes so prominent you forget he was ever even pretending to be bad at fighting in the first place.
>>151944739
I don't really like BnHA, but one thing I will respect is that the man hyped up to be the super mighty strongest dude ever actually fucking is the strongest guy ever, and not just some cheap stepping stone for the main characters to surpass, nor a sacrificial lamb to make an antagonist look super powerful and threatening.

Not sure this is cliche, but I love immortal or hard to kill MC's.

I love it when the MC keeps standing up like if nothing, if the MC is badly hurt and he feels the pain is but somehow is still alive, is plot armor, but when he is fighting he get hit, stand up, attacks, get hit again and repeat, but no matter what he doenst let the pain control him for a moment, he keeps fighting, set on defeating his opponent, despise losing armor, energy and weapon, his attacks never stop, he keeps coming back, he just wont DIE!

I hate this so much, especially if she just falls in love with the MC for know reason.

I love it when the MC has an edgy as fuck friend and somehow, it doesn't turn into a Sasuke bullshit. But they just keep getting closer and closer.

Think HxH.

But the part I love most about that sort of thing, is when that edgy guy is pretty much obsessed with protecting the MC that he does terrible fucking things to protect him and shrugs it off like it's nothing. Like when people abused or tried to hurt Gon, and then a day later, that guys would end up dead.

This and OP's trope mixed together in Samidare

Especially if the song fits the scene. For all the criticisms I had about Fairy Tail, I loved this to death during the Tower of Heaven arc.

>villain has bodyguard
>Treats him badly
>bodyguard decides fuck it and joins heroes

Or
>Henchman is in love with villainess
>she doesnt care
>he dies
>she actually does and grieves

>>151955265
HxH was also amazing w/ that during the Yorknew arc. "Hunting for your Dream" is such an amazing song and seeing it segue from the announcer to the ED was such a fucking treat.

>Shonen anime
>There's a group of powerful criminals with high bounties and unique abilities
I don't know why but I love it so much

>>151955360
Alternatively

>Henchmen is in love with their boss
>Boss treats them like garbage
>Then after some character development, Boss starts treating henchman well.
>Shit goes down, making you believe that the boss and henchmen are dead
>Later on, reveal that they're alive and have decided to become a couple living in peace somewhere secluded.

Bonus points if they ally themselves with the protagonists during a crucial moment unexpectedly during the climax.

>the OP isn't shit

>>151955601
Even better.

>Shonen anime
>There's a group of powerful criminals w/ high bounties and unique abilities
>After they're defeated, they ally themselves to the MC and go on to become stronger to beat even more powerful bad guys.

It never stops giving me goosebumps when powerful enemies become powerful allies; especially if they and the MC end up becoming friends.

Bonus points if they pretend they don't like being good guys and/or the MC's best friend(s).

I love it

My favorite characters are gruff commanders or military leaders.
Anyone know anything like this?
Preferably not old/evil.

>>151956383
I'm talking about things that are even more bleak. Like with my pic "All you need is kill", where the MC dies countless times and grinds up into a psycho basically.

The longer they're in a time loop the better.

>I like the cliche of some character being secretly powerful. Even if they're already strong, but have some secret extra power, like when Satellizer fights while unconscious. Terumi in Blazblue claiming is he bad at fighting.

You had me until here.
I love characters that hide their powerlevels. But a completely random character being super powerful just because is dumb as fuck.

>>151957363
>But a completely random character being super powerful just because is dumb as fuck.
This. It's cool when joke/side character hide his powerlevel and reveal it in right time, with proper explanation and shit.
Asspulls are still asspulls though.

>>151954556
Higurashi (visual novel) but the timelooping characters don't turn into killing machines because they really want to avoid that

There have been entire threads on /a/ about it. They're just rare. I was trying to get a manga, but people were being stingy like usual.

>>151958728
Yeah I know about this. Any other examples?

>>151959543
Muvluv the visual novel but you have to get through 20 hours of school life before it gets to the timeloop thing

>>151944242
Shun is the true main character

>strongest character of the good guys isn't the mc
>it's the kid with no powers

Martyr deaths always get to me, especially if they really harp on it with the main group being all sad about it.

>ambiguous strong humans around the world
>people always talk about being 1 in 100 million
>we rarely see other people this strong

It's like a giant cocktease. Like in BnHA, Allmight the strongest here IN JAPAN. What about the rest of the world?

With HxH Gon and Killua are a one in ten-million talent. Shouldn't there be a bunch of other child prodigies like them running around?

I've love to see this happen. What anime/manga/anything does this?

>>151955774
Legend of Tyr does this and it was such a pleasant surprise because th two enemies were looked like bad guys in the exaggeratedly cartoon-y way that you'd immediately shrug them off as typical nobody enemies that you see get beaten up for one panel and then never seen again. But nope, they come back and become the bro-est of bros.

What other animes does this? I love this trope.
