Line 63:
* Pope Benedict in ''[[The Legend of Koizumi]]'', who leads the world's [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|Mahjong-based]] defense against the [[Stupid Jetpack Hitler|Fourth]] [[Those Wacky Nazis|Reich]], who live on the moon and shoot meteors at major cities. [[It's Personal]] for him for some reason, probably due to his having grown up in the third one.
* ''[[Soul Eater]]'''s Big Good is Death, ironically. He's the head of the school that trains the heroes, gives them their missions and is the only one capable of going head to head with the Big Bad. Also, he's the one the villains are worried about; the heroes themselves are a much lower priority.
* ''[[One Piece]]'',
*
** Two of the strongest pirates alive, "Red-Haired" Shanks and Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate {{spoiler|until his death}} could also qualify. In particular, during the Whitebeard War, the rather morally-sound Newgate led the battle against the more reprehensible [[Knight Templar|Marines]] into battle, but it was Shanks himself that ended the war, simply by '''threatening to attack anyone that wanted to continue fighting'''!
** Possibly the biggest candidate for Big Good to date is {{spoiler|Revolutionary Leader and Public Enemy #1 (to the World Government, at least), Monkey D. Dragon - Luffy's father}}.
** And finally, ('''''huge'''''' spoiler here), {{spoiler|Joy Boy. Something of a messiah figure, he lived during the Void Century, made some sort of bargain with Poesidon, and created the Poneglyphs that contain information on that time period and the location of Laugh Tale, the site of Gol D. Roger's legendary treasure. The treasure, in fact, whatever it is, belonged to Joy Boy initially, and it seems Roger's crew discovered it 20 years too early. To early, that is, for Joy Boy's return, as he was prophesized to make a "second coming". And he ''has'', because Luffy is, in fact, the reincarnation of Joy Boy himself.}}
* Ceiphied, AKA the Flare Dragon of ''[[Slayers]]'', fought the [[Big Bad]] Shabranigdu to a draw (of sorts) 5,000 years ago, thus saving the world from being a rather [[Crapsack World|gloomy place]]. He also perished in the act, but his released essence gave birth to a whole hierarchy of lesser dragonlords who still keep the Mazoku (demons) in check.
* The [[Power Trio|Three Dark Lords]] of ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]'', or at least the two who are still alive, seem to fill this role.
