Dangerously Genre Savvy: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Fairy Navigator Runa]]'', the first evil fairy Runa fights exhibits this trope. He attacks her before she's transformed or even knows what's going on, then ''retreats'' when Mokke and Senuri show up to fight him.

* Mag Mel, the fourth [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Bakugan]]'' is this. He's stayed about three steps ahead of everyone, uses minions that ''cannot'' turn against him in any fashion and he can off with a thought if they try, uses his [[Psychic Link]] with [[The Hero|Dan]] both to free himself from [[Sealed Evil in a Can|his alternate universe prison]] and spy on the heroes, and sends his [[Co-Dragons]] in the disguise of humans to infilitrait Bakugan Interspace and cause chaos as a distraction while he goes along with his plans. And that's all ''before'' he gets out of his prison. Once he's out, he attacks Gundella to lure the Brawlers there so he can still what he wants from Dan and Drago, managing to steal half of it despite the fact that he loses the fight. And then it turns out that his invasion was merely a distraction so he could cripple Bakugan Interspace, leaving the Brawlers trapped there when they return. {{spoiler|He then [[Devour the Dragon|absorbs his last remaining]] [[Dragon]] right in front of Dan, tricking Dan into giving him the chance to absorb the last thing he needs. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] by the fact he's actually the previous season's [[Big Bad]] Emperor Barodius, and has done a ''really'' great job at learning from his past mistakes.}}

[[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?|Bring a pistol into my hand. Load with magic bullets. Usage is shooting. Number of rounds is twelve.]] ''(summons pistol, Touma makes an [[Oh Crap]] face)'' Begin firing with a speed that ''exceeds human motion recognition''! ''(shoots a crater into the wall behind a scared-shitless Touma)'' I won't kill you easily. Entertain me a bit more. [[More Dakka|Mass-produce the previous process, simultaneous firing using ten hidden rifles]]!}}

** And just to drive the point home, he then [[Brought Down to Normal|proceeds to cut off Touma's right arm]]. Unfortunately for Aureolus, doing so unleashed something worse...
