Iconic Item: Difference between revisions

Line 42:

** Across the entire franchise, everyone's specifically coloured variant of the Digivice is also this, being possibly the most personally-associated belonging any character has. ''Adventure'' also gives this treatment to their Crests, ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'' doing the same for their Digimentals.

* Kenshiro's jacket in ''[[Fist of the North Star]]''. It's so iconic that it inexplicably reappears on him after every fight where he rips it beforehand. When he tears his shirt, it's usually a surefire sign that someone is going to die.

* [[The Rival|Ryouga]]'s trademark bandanna from ''[[Ranma ~~One Half~~|Ranma 1/2]]'', and he went as far as wearing dozens of them, one over the other, to use as weapons in his first match with Ranma.

* [[The Rival|Ryouga]]'s trademark bandanna from ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma 1/2]]'', and he went as far as wearing dozens of them, one over the other, to use as weapons in his first match with Ranma.

** Mousse's glasses, Ukyou's giant battle spatula, Nodoka's family sword, Cologne's staff, Kodachi's ribbon, and Ryouga's umbrella also qualify as personality-defining items. On the "worrying about their safety" angle, Ranma once found Akane's schoolbag, recognizable by the doll hanging off it, and deduced she was kidnapped (although that was the item's only purpose in that story and was never seen before or after.)

* Kamina's glasses and Simon's drill pendant from ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''. Kamina even gives Gurren the glasses by melting down the swords it originally had.

Line 258:

* The Vampire Killer whip (unique in that it doesn't really represent one person, but [[Badass Family|an entire family of people]]) from ''[[Castlevania]]''.

* The hidden blades and beaked hoods from ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''.

* [[Golden Sun]]: Issac's (and later [[Golden Sun Dark Dawn|Matthew's]]) [[Scarf of Asskicking]]. Menardi and Karst's [[Sinister Scythe|scythes]].

* [[Golden Sun]]: Issac's (and later [[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn|Matthew's]]) [[Scarf of Asskicking]]. Menardi and Karst's [[Sinister Scythe|scythes]].

* [[Mario]]'s hat. In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', if his hat is lost or stolen, he'll take double damage until he gets it back.

** In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', if it's lost or stolen, he'll actually take damage every few moments ''because'' he's not wearing it. Apparently, Mario sees the hat as part of himself, or losing it traumatizes him. Or maybe it's just sunburn.
