Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Difference between revisions
→Anime and Manga
Line 67:
* King Dedede in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' is the kind of guy who wants respect from the Cappies, and just wants to beat up Kirby for the sake of it, which is why he buys Demon Beasts/monsters online from Holy Nightmare/Nightmare Enterprises. Of course, [[The Good Guys Always Win|Kirby always wins the day]], so Dedede never gets the respect he wants. To be fair, Dedede isn't really all that bad, he's just mean, misunderstood, and a completely incompetent half-wit.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]''; Gee, where to start...
** In the original Manga, Mokuba (who was far nastier than the one American fans know) tried to get even with Yugi with a rigged Capsule Monster game. (The rules Mokuba set down were that they would take turns using a vending machine before they started to get game pieces so neither would have an advantage; Mokuba had the machine fixed, so that he got powerful pieces and Yugi only got [[Com Mons]].) Unfortunately
** Insector Haga and "Dinosaur" Ryuzaki were probably the most well known examples. You kind of felt sorry for them after awhile. Their worst humiliation came during the KC Grand Prix when they dueled Zigfried two against one, and he beat them both... On his first turn. (Granted, Zigfried is a guy who gave even Kaiba one of the most epic duels of his career, but still...)
** Not that there weren't others. There was Jean-Claude Magnum (a [[Hopeless Suitor]] to Mai, and a [[Miles Gloriosus]]) the unnamed Rare Hunter called "Seeker" by fans (half of Yugi's dialogue during the duel consisted of a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]) and Gurimo from the [[Filler Arc| DOMA arc]]. (To those who have only seen the dub, that would be the first duelist seen using the Seal of Orichalcos; the dub didn't think he was worth a dub name.) Seriously, Gurimo not only used one [[Artifact of Doom]] (The Seal of Orichalcos, naturally) he [[Too Dumb to Live| was dumb enough]] to combine it with a second one (Obelisk the Tormentor). The only thing that was truly surprising about his loss to Yugi is why all the other characters found it so surprising!
