Line 92:
* Michiko from ''[[Michiko to Hatchin]]'' arguably qualifies. She tends to make quite questionable decisions while she [[Stern Chase|runs away from the police]] and tries to find her old boyfriend—her [[Stripperific|flashy appearance]] not even being the stupidest. Fortunately, the girl she took with her, Hana, is actually quite a bit more intelligent. Unfortunately, Michiko never listens to her.
* Alice L. Malvin of ''[[Pumpkin Scissors]]'' insists on going after evil no matter the odds, so obviously, her subordinates have to stop her from just charging head on into battle and come up with a more effective, less risky plan.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' examples:
** Jaden of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''—Goal [[To Be a Master]]? Check. Spiky hair? Check. [[Too Dumb to Live]]? Check. Idealist? Check. Magnet for [[True Companions]]? Check. [[Big Eater]]? Check. [[Book Dumb]]? Double check. [[Character Development]] into [[The Messiah]]? [[Ineffectual Loner|Just the opposite]]. [[Deconstruction|There's only so much a kid can take]].
*** [[Character Development]] into [[The Messiah]]? Check. His development didn't stop when he put on the armor and he spent part of s3 after that as [[The Atoner]] and then saved all of his friends and went on to save the world from Darkness, after he helped Alexis, Chazz, and Syrus find the paths they wanted to follow in life. And he's hardly a loner when he lives with Yubel in his soul, his entire deck of spirits in his pocket, and Pharaoh and Banner in his backpack.
** Yuma from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh Ze Xal]]'' is season 1 Jaden all over again. And despite being the protagonist, he has the dueling skills of an amateur, and Astral has to guide him through a lot of his duels.▼
*** In the two-part episode "The Graduation Match" (where he has an exhibition match with Zane), he tries to act more competent with a well thought-out strategy - and nobody, especially Zane, thinks it's an improvement. He simply isn't himself unless he acts impulsive.
** Crow from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', though it's only to assist his friends. Wants to prove to them that he doesn't want to be a 3rd wheel or a burden to them.▼

** However Yugi, from the original series, is a subversion. He starts the series as what [[Yu Yu Hakusho|Yusuke]] would be if he were a geek, but he's a strategic genius.▼

*** [[Deuteragonist]] Joey Wheeler might qualify, being a [[Book Dumb]] sidekick who ''tries'' to do well as [[The Lancer]], his accomplishments usually achieved by dumb luck, sometimes literally.
* Musubi from ''[[Sekirei]]'', in spades.
* Natsu from ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' demonstrates many elements of this. In a semi-subversion, despite being a [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Determinator]], prone to causing extreme collateral damage and social obliviousness, he's perfectly capable of fighting intelligently and wins through unorthodox use of his abilities at least as often as through sheer power.
