Most Triumphant Example (Sugar Wiki)/V to X

This is simply what you think is the (not some of the, the) best example of any trope (an objective trope, not subjective, since this already is subjective). The "Crowning Example" if you will.

There could be several reasons you think an example is the best.
 * You thinks it's the best in terms of illustrating the trope.
 * You think it's the most well done.
 * It's your favorite play in that trope.
 * You just really like the source material.

Oh, and each troper gets one example per trope, no more. Also, don't go "no, this is," or phrases like that. This is about our own personal favorites.

For an idea of this, he gets so mad that as he raises his fist to bang on the witness stand in frustration, the that had previously fallen on the ground behind him rise up into the air and fall down as he slams his fist on the witness stand. Please note: this man has no magic powers. ~Darkurai
 * Same game series, different perp: . How many villains do you know that have a breakdown speech where they stand there laughing and clapping maniacally for an entire minute? ~ User:Willy Four Eyes
 * Same series (notice a trend?), different villain: . After he spends hours grinning smugly at you, the guy snaps like a twig on slow-motion and bangs his head against the wall after screaming at the top of his lungs. ~ vicnog
 * Really, pretty much any villain in this series. with his strange headdesking thing,  in 3-1 AND 3-5.  seizure-inducing breakdown, and  and his hair. Going everywhere.
 * Gotta give it to clawing his face out, although all of the breakdowns in the series are great. Considering it's kind of a once an episode type thing, the whole SERIES deserves to be the Most Triumphant Example, although this troper is tempted by Light Yagami and Marlo Stanfield. ~rickdakirb

 * Kratos. Non-stop. The games never try to hide from you the fact that the guy is a Complete Monster, and after the events of the first game you can pretty much cross off the Hero in Anti-Hero in regards to him. ~ The Jerk with No Name, Dracosummoner, Todbot 1

 * Disagree. Aside from one guy, they mostly seemed politically apathetic sailors just doing their jobs, making them Punch Clock Villains at best. ~ User:Turkish Delight
 * Punch Clock Villains are still villains, aren't they? Hence the name. It's the most triumphant example because no other story I know of can so consistently make you root for them and feel for them before slapping yourself once more and reminding yourself of who they are. That ending alone seals the deal. -Ziggy Zag

 * Avatar-bashers, even now, well over a year after the film's release.

 * The Vanguard. Imagine this if you will, you buy demon's souls, hearing how Nintendo Hard it was, wanting to see if the reviews and so on were true. you boot up the system, and start a new game. At first your playing the Tutorial and your thinking "Wow, the people that played this game had to be jooking this is EASY." And then, you walk through another wall of fog, expecting nothing to big and then, you see him, five times your size, with a huge cleaver to match. your attacks do little to nothing, and then he takes one swing at you, and that's it. The Vanguard is infamous to anyone who played demon's souls as the one that made one thing painfully clear, Demon's Souls does not fuck around.

 * Wall of Text

 * Sonichu. And when I say "Most Triumphant", I don't mean it as a good thing. ~ User:Man Without A Body

 * Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Take a moment to think about all the things he makes reference to (the Evil Overlord List, countless movies, shout outs to everything you can think of).

 * I'm stuck in this pit, earning less than slave wages, working on my day off, dealing with every backward fuck on the planet, the goddamn steel shutters are locked all day, I smell like shoe polish,, and my present girlfriend has sucked thirty-six dicks...My life is in the shitter right about now, so if you don't mind I'd like to stew a bit." You may say that there's no good example of wangst, but this is the best one purely because, unlike most others, it's fully intentional. Smith doesn't honestly intend for you to think that moping to the extent he does is reasonable, especially when a good deal of his suffering is self-inflicted. Randal calls Dante on it, specifically because she expects him to be a wreck, and  The absolute only way to justify, let alone play, this trope. ~

 * The R-type universe. This is a place where even the smallest fighters are fielded with a Wave Motion Gun, the guns scale up to and including a Wave Motion Gun designed to depopulate planets (that fit onto a battleship the size of a few city blocks) and a Kill Sat with a Wave Motion Gun that can wipe out whole fleets. ~ User:Unknown Troper
 * Thor's Hammer/The Mana Cannon from Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Phantasia. A Wave Motion Gun so big that if you power it with the world's mana - which is what it was designed for - it kills the World Tree producing that mana. The only time we know of that it was ever safely fired was at a lower capacity, and powered by the Summon Spirits instead of drawing from the local mana pool directly. ~ Sylvia Viridian

 * Seconded! That was one of the best psychotic ramblings I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of psychotic rambling. "Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! WITH THE LEMONS!" ~User:Takwin
 * Thirded! "I'm going to get my engineers to invent a COMBUSTIBLE LEMON, that BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN!" ~ Zfish 9

 * Wario Ware. There is no way on Earth to explain this to someone who doesn't know what you mean without sounding insane. It can even be used to ruin video game genre categorisations and lists.

 * Thirded; Are we allowed to change our votes when something more batshit insane comes up? - The Albino Primid
 * Fourthed, and I believe you can, so long as you delete your previous vote. ~ Zfish 9
 * Fifthed. And it's interesting how this bizarre mess is a Weird Japanese Thing in disguise as a Weird American Thing. It manages to exponentially sum up all the weirdness of both universes, so much that the only reason Season 2 was not yet made is because the sheer accumulated density of its weirdness would create a black hole on Earth and cause The End of the World As We Know It. ~ Electric Boogaloo
 * Dead Leaves. Made by the same lunatic director as Panty and Stocking. ~ Genki Man.
 * Gintama. It goes far beyond insanity. - User:chalcedony

 * The Gunmen were built by  ~ User:Generic Troper
 * James Bond is really  ~ Marvel Girl

 * Marco del Rossi on Degrassi the Next Generation. He went from having a "sporty" look and being into sports (although perhaps just to see Sean shirtless and lick his lips) to not knowing who the Washington Redskins were.
 * Kyle Broflovski. Dear God. If canon Kyle ever came face to face with slash fic Kyle, his reaction would be priceless. ~redhed311
 * Winter Royal Lady
 * "The Snow Queen" ~ User:Lale
 * The White Witch ~ User:Carla

 * Wishplosion
 * Puella Magi Madoka Magica, where the trope is used to underline the quintessence of being a Magical Girl. --markovich

 * Laura Palmer ~ Nintendo Nate 25
 * Rottenvenetic (this troper) is usually not that impressed by Woobies as I don't think I have a soul. However when Nana is concerned...
 * Robbie Shapiro. - excaruso

 * The Abominable Dr. Phibes ~ User:Man Without A Body
 * Fou-lu. So many, many, many, many, many, many ways, especially if you throw in the portrayal in the Comic Book Adaptation of Breath of Fire IV. His entire storyline is pretty much "How To Turn A Literal God-Emperor Into A Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds". ~dogemperor

 * Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander. I don't even know G.I. Joe that well and it still boggles the mind! ~ User:Voodoo Child
 * Heath Ledger as The Joker. It was the oddest choice, almost nobody (including myself) believed in it, and it turned out to be one of the best instances of a "so crazy it just might work" idea actually working in the history of filmmaking. ~ Ziggy Zag
 * The entire cast of Repo! The Genetic Opera. Sarah Brightman alongside Bill Mosesley alongside Alexa Vega alongside Nivek Ogre alongside Anthony Stewart Head alongside Paris Hilton alongside Paul Sorvino... and putting it all together, Yoshiki Hayashi. ~ Alta

 * It's all according to the scenario. ~ Carla
 * Saw ~ Rimpala
 * I hereby propose Xanatos Roulette be renamed to "Teridax Gambit." After about 80,000 years, eight real life years, more subplots both successfully worked and foiled, and almost cuasing the end of the world as we know it (which is what REALLY pushes it into Roulette territory rather than a rather lengthy Xanatos Speed Chess-if Matoro had hesistated for a split second, the Matoran universe would have been killed off for real-an entire parallel universe shows what would have happened had one of the Plan's crucial steps failed.) Top that, Xanatos.
