Fiction 500: Difference between revisions

Line 67:

* In ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'', Shutaro Mendou. [[Fanon]] expands his wealth considerably, though. Mendou has a pretty much private everything.

* In ''[[Yes! Pretty Cure 5]]'', Karen Minazuki has her own island, just happens to have multiple empty houses lying around for people who [[Undead Tax Exemption|appeared out of nowhere]], and once had to clarify that she was only joking about owning a mountain range.

* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', Seto Kaiba has so much money he can [[Trope Namer|screw]] [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|the rules]] on a regular basis. He managed to become owner and CEO of an entertainment company (that until he took over ~~also~~ ~~manufactured~~ ~~high-tech~~ ~~''weapons''~~) and his brother's legal guardian without graduating high school. At one point in season 4, he needs a car, so he and an Mokuba find one and get in ([[Fridge Logic|never mind how they got the keys]]). As the car comes on, a salesman rushes over, frantic and demanding to know what they're doing. Even as the man rants, Kaiba ''whips'' out a checkbook ''extremely dramatically'', scrawls something, and tells the man to keep the change as they drive away. The distraught salesman frets that he's ruined, RUINED... until he looks down at the $500,000 check. Among his other belongings are a jet plane shaped like Blue-Eyes White Dragon (his signature card), a zeppelin with a dueling arena and the KC logo on the side, and a computer with an AI in a bomb shelter. He was also pretty much able to ''rent out all of Domino City'' for the Battle City tournament. While not ''quite'' so large a number as this trope normally deals with, the sheer attitude with which this example was done makes it rather noteworthy.

* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', Seto Kaiba is pretty much the trading card game equivalent of [[Walt Disney]] (yes, ironic comparison but accurate) and has so much money he can [[Trope Namer|screw]] [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|the rules]] on a regular basis. He managed to become owner and CEO of an entertainment company (that until he took over, was a military firm) and became his brother's legal guardian without graduating high school. At one point in season 4, he needs a car, so he and an Mokuba find one and get in ([[Fridge Logic|never mind how they got the keys]]).

* In ''[[C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control]]'', Mikuni has enough money to single-handedly shoulder Japan's national debt. Note that due to the show's premise, a lot of characters can fall into this trope (the protagonist went from a college student struggling to make ends meet to having a bank account of several hundred million overnight), but Mikuni still stands out.

* In ''[[Dance in the Vampire Bund]]'', Mina Tepes pays of Japan's entire national debt, which is around 40 TRILLION dollars and does not seem financially hurt in the slighest by it.
