Line 14:
See also [[Four-Element Ensemble]] and [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]], another common elemental trio.
{{examples
== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==
* The Bigs from ''[[The Big O (Anime)|The Big O]]'' fit the common characterizations of their spheres; [[The Hero|Big O (land)]] [[Wild Card|Big Duo (sky)]] [[Big Bad|Big Fau (sea)]]
Line 36:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* Very common in ''[[Super Sentai]]'' and ''[[Power Rangers]]'' series, such as ''[[Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan]]'' (Vul Eagle = air, Vul Shark = sea, Vul Panther = land). The most important position, that of the [[Law of Chromatic Superiority|Red Ranger]], is usually the one with sky.
** The Hayate/Wind Ninja Academy in ''[[Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger]]''/''[[Power Rangers Ninja Storm]]'' teaches these three disciplines, and the three core Rangers each wield one. Interestingly enough, the Rangers that join the team later use different abilities altogether (the next two, from a rival academy, use Thunder; and the sixth is either Fire or [[Non
** ''[[Tensou Sentai Goseiger]]'' has a team of ''two'' Rangers of each, though one of the sea Rangers was killed off in the backstory. Gosei Knight uses all three.
Line 42:
* The transformations in ''[[The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask]]''; Deku is air (flower helicopter), Goron is land (stone rolling), Zora is Sea (dolphin swimming).
** Also used in ''[[The Wind Waker]]''; the first three [[MacGuffin|MacGuffins]] are collected from the sky spirit Valoo, the earth spirit the Great Deku Tree, and the sea spirit Jabun.
* Three of the Four Guardians of Neo Arcadia in ''[[Mega Man Zero (Video Game)|Mega Man Zero]]'' fit this mold. Each functions as the military general of their own unit: [[Blow You Away|Sage]] [[Shock and Awe|Harpuia]] commands the Rekku Army (the air force), [[An Ice Person|Fairy]] [[Making a Splash|Leviathan]] is leader of the Meikai Army (the navy), and [[Playing With Fire|Fighting Fefnir]] controls the Jin'en Army (the army). This is off-set partially by the fourth Guardian ([[Non
* ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire (Video Game)|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]'': Groudon (land), Kyogre (sea), and Rayquaza (sky), all of which were based on the aforementioned Three Great Beasts.
** It has another one in the form of...berries, surprisingly enough. Three especially rare berries: Liechi, Ganlon, and Salac, are described to contain the power of the sea, land, and sky respectively.
Line 49:
* The [[Theme Naming]] convention for Sora (sky), Riku (land), and Kairi (sea) along with Ventus (wind), Terra (earth), and Aqua (water) in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''. To a lesser extent, Roxas (An anagram of "Sora" with an X added, while also meaning "red" itself, so could be interpreted to be "twilit Sky"), Axel/Lea (Meadow) and Xion (Shio=Tide).
* ''[[Mitsumete Knight (Video Game)|Mitsumete Knight]] R: Daibouken Hen'' has the Slates of Earth, Sea and Sky. Scattered throughout the world, you need to gather them and put them all in a machine inside {{spoiler|the Pyramid}} in order to activate the [[Warp Whistle]] system.
* Used in one of the riddles in ''[[Batman: Arkham City (Video Game)|Batman Arkham City]]''. Although the wording suggests the classic military interpretation {{spoiler|the actual answer is a shipping company}}.
* In the ''[[Baten Kaitos]]'' series, the three objects used to seal Malpercio are the Earth Sphere, the Ocean Mirror and the Sword of the Heavens, when the sealing is shown in the 2nd game the line " {{spoiler|Marno Ar [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]}}, accursed one, for the sake of the earth, the sky and the ocean, thy life must end!" is used. Of note is that during the games {{spoiler|until the ending}}, the earth "polluted and barren", the ocean is sealed away ("and the Lost Ocean") and the lower part of the sky filled with the poisonous "taintclouds".
* In ''[[Advance Wars]] 2: Black Hole Rising'', the three Green Earth commanders fit: Eagle has stronger air units and is the proud leader of the trio, Jess has strong ground vehicles and tends to be very practical (her resupply power actually makes her pretty handy with air and sea units despite the attack power penalty she suffers with them), and Drake specializes in naval warfare and has very damaging CO powers.
* In ''[[Clock Tower (Video Game)|Clock Tower]] 3'' at one point Alyssa must solve a riddle involving the three rooder's stones of Earth, Sky and Sea. To be specific, she must put them in the right order to free some ghosts.
