Disposable Bandits: Difference between revisions

* A running gag in ''[[Slayers]]'' is Lina easily disposing of such, but being a [[Destructive Savior]] to the point many actually fear her ''more'' than the bandits.

* ''[[One Piece]]'''s very first villain was Higuma the Bear, the leader of a clan of mountain bandits that protagonist Monkey D. Luffy encountered as a young boy. While he and his crew do leave an impact on the plot, it's due to them serving as a three-fer plot device: we get to see how badass Luffy's mentor Shanks and his pirate crew are by watching them effortlessly wipe the floor with them, they're indirectly responsible for Shanks losing his one of his arms, ''and'' they're also indirectly responsible for him giving Luffy his iconic straw hat. Higuma and at least one other bandit are also the series' first confirmed fatalities, with the former being [[Eaten Alive]] by a terrifying sea monster and the latter getting shot out of nowhere by one of Shanks' men. This wouldn't be noteworthy if it wasn't for the fact that it's ''very'' rare for villains to outright die in this series (or ''any'' character outside of flashbacks, for that matter).
