Line 22:
** The Mundus Magicus arc introduced a straighter variant in the form of the former [[Badass Crew|Ala Rubra]] member[[Badass Grandpa|Jack Rackan]], who acts as a somewhat goofy [[The Obi-Wan]] towards the Ala Alba. {{spoiler|Of course, the [[Obfuscating Stupidity|goofiness is a facade]].}}
* The first words out of anyone's mouth when they face down Andrei Rublev on [[IGPX: Immortal Grand Prix|IGPX's]] race tracks tend to be something like "The game's changed while you were away, old man!" The next words, usually said a few minutes later, tend to be something like "Man! {{spoiler|The Rocket}}'s no joke!" while their mechs are either flat on the track or in some other pants-down situation. However, Andrei is a mild subversion. While his ''tactics'' still leave pilots reeling, his ''body'' can't keep up nearly as well as it used to: the years between his retirement and his temporary comeback were not kind to him.
* Happosai and Cologne from ''[[Ranma
* Jiji from ''[[Ichi the Killer]]'' wears baggy clothing and walks with a slump in order to disguise his true strength.
* ''[[Naruto]]'' has the Third Hokage, who despite being a decrepit-looking 70-year-old man, is extremely powerful and skilled, able to go toe-to-toe with the likes of the [[Big Bad]] Orochimaru. Many have called him one of the most powerful Shinobi to come out of the Leaf Village, perhaps equaling or even ''surpassing'' the late Fourth Hokage. A shame he dies, but even then he fights to the bitter end, {{spoiler|sealing Orochimaru's arms and thus rendering them dead and useless}}.
Line 167:
* The Great Sensei from ''[[God Hand]]''. [[That One Boss|He will kick your ass.]]
* All four of the Dragon Guardians from ''[[Spyro the Dragon|The Legend of Spyro]]'' trilogy. While their age isn't mentioned, their words imply they're getting too old for the job, but that doesn't mean the Apes attacking the temple in the second game didn't get their butts kicked by the four of them. Yeah, Spyro and Cynder outclass them in the end, but that's what they were hoping for.
* Master Xehanort in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'' is the [[Big Bad]] of the game {{spoiler|and more or less the entire franchise}} and is a hunched-over old man. However, in spite of his age he's still one of the most powerful entities in the series so far--in the cutscene before the final battles of the three storylines, he raises plateaus of earth into the air and creates a [[Storm of Blades|whirlwind of Keyblades]] to attack the heroes with, all with a few waves of the hand. And when one of the heroes, Ven, gets close enough to attack, Xehanort [[Flash Step|evades the sneak attack]], [[Neck Lift|holds Ven in the air by the head]], [[Human Popsicle|and freezes him solid]]. Then the time the actual boss battle comes around, and he averts [[Cutscene Power to the Max]] by doing ''all'' of those things as attacks.
* Edge Master from the [[Soul Series]]. He is Kilik's master and can also use every weapon in the game with equal proficiency to its owner. One of the oldest, non-immortal characters in the series (though his actual age is unknown).
* The Greybeards from Skyrim. They have trained their voices to such an incredible extent that even a misplaced whisper could kill you instantly. When they greet you with a politely whispered "Dovahkiin", ''the whole mountain shakes'' from the force of it. When they spoke in full voice to summon you to High Hrothgar, ''all of Skyrim heard it''.
