Give Me a Sword: Difference between revisions

 

* In ''[[Firefly]]'', Malcolm Reynolds accidentally challenges a nobleman to a duel and has to be provided with a sword... and a crash course in using it.

* ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'' lend each other weapons all the time, but episode 4 takes this up to a whole other level. When Ahim finally comes to understand Joe's desire to take out the [[Monster of the Week]] by himself, she shows it by lending him her cutlass so he can use the two sword style he's been practicing. When this turns out to be insufficient, the other three rangers throw him ''their'' swords as well.

* ''[[Highlander the Series]]'': In "The Messenger" Richie has been listening to an immortal impersonating Methos, who's telling other immortals to live in peace and put their swords down. He's left his sword behind, and gone to talk to the guy, only to find he's been killed already by the bad guy of the week, Culbraith. Duncan ends up throwing Richie his sword so he can fight Culbraith.

* Thrown from his steed mid-battle but still itching for a fight, [[Richard III]] cries out, [[Famous Last Words|"A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!"]] Bizarrely, this line is said ''twice'' in that scene.

* In ''[[Halo]] [[Halo 2|2]]'':

* Happens whenever a character with no weapons is recruited mid-chapter in ''[[Fire Emblem]]''. It's normally stated to be "spare weaponry"; examples include the generic soldiers giving [[Viewer Gender Confusion|Lucius]] a tome of magic/vulenary, and in the fan-made hack [http://www.feuniverse.net/forums/index.php?showforum=53 Tactics Universe], in Chapter 7; Siegfried gives out weapons/vulenaries to the prisoners he rescues... even if your weapons are likely to be breaking. with no "spare weapons" being given out. Um.

* Played Straight in the ''[[Kirby]]'' series when you fight Meta Knight, he will throw you a sword and will not attack until you draw it from the ground. Subverted in Revenge of Meta Knight though as he will attack after a set period of time.

* ''[[Call of Duty]]: [[Modern Warfare]]'' features this trope in the last mission. {{spoiler|As your entire team lay dying on a wrecked bridge, [[Big Bad]] is executing team members as he walks among them, Capt. Price slides his pistol over to you, enabling you to exact vengeance upon your hapless opponent.}}

** This is given a [[Continuity Nod|continuity]] [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|nod]] in ''[[Modern Warfare]] 2'', when {{spoiler|1=''Capt.'' Soap MacTavish returns said pistol to Capt. Price five years later.}}

* In either [[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Alpha]] or [[Super Robot Wars Original Generation|Original Generation]] continuities of ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'', [[Samurai|Sanger]] [[Badass|Zonvolt]] flat-out requests the [[Humongous Mecha]]-sized [[BFS|Type-3 Colossal Blade]] be given to him when his [[Mid-Season Upgrade]] [[Super Robot]] Dygenguard's primary weapons malfunctions.

* Partially, at the final boss of [[Kingdom Hearts II]]. Riku, disabled, passes his keyblade to Sora so that he can deliver a [[Dual-Wielding]] finishing barrage.

 

* In [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080606 this page] of ''[[Girl Genius]]'', the Jägers are having their regularly scheduled evening bar fight, with no weapons allowed.

* ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]''

* In ''[[Re Boot]]'' Andraia throws her trident to Matrix when Megabyte doesn't fight fair.

* In [[Justice League Unlimited]] Batman subverts this trope with [[Lex Luthor]] of all people.
