Line 12:
Some character feel a deep attachment to their weapon, almost as if it's [[I Call It Vera|a person.]] There's nothing wrong with that.
 
The one doing the licking isn't necessarily evil or rather, more accurately, isn't always a story's antagonist. An [[Anti -Hero]] or [[Villain Protagonist]] can be seen doing this, especially if they're engaging their [[Super -Powered Evil Side]]. Usually to showcase the fact they've either gone off the deep end or are very close to it, and that it is scary. Often major [[Fetish Fuel]], especially if the licker is attractive.
 
See also [[Finger -Lickin' Evil]], [[You Taste Delicious]]. A character who does this often may have [[Blood Lust]]. See also [[Lecherous Licking]].

Line 36:
*** Zoro does it a couple of times, most notably during the Thriller Bark Arc against Oz (and he looks AWESOME in the process)
* Guitar, the swordsman general of the Mazoku in ''[[Violinist of Hameln]]'' does this from time to time.
* Tsukiyomi from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' does this before her fight against her [[Sempai -Kohai|sempai Setsuna]]. She does so while refering to Setsuna as [[Evil Tastes Good|"delicious"]] and asking for [[Evil Feels Good|satisfaction]], [[Stalker With a Crush|all the while drooling]] in a woozy state of [[Psycho Lesbian|carnal bloodlust]].
** Later on in another battle against Setsuna, she pulls this again, in an arguably [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v35/c318/2.html creepier way].
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] Strikers'' has Due, one of the combat cyborgs, who does this after assassinating {{spoiler|the TSAB high council.}} Somewhat squicky though, since they are just {{spoiler|brains in jars of life sustaining fluid.}} Still pretty damn creepy.
Line 44:
* In ''[[Change 123]]'', after Hibiki fends away a potential rapist [[One Hit KO|with a single kick]], there is a scene where he plans a revenge while recovering from the injuries. In one panel, his maniacal gaze is shown reflected in the blade of his katana as he licks it.
* Multiple [[Monster of the Week|monsters of the week]] do this on ''[[Inuyasha]]''.
* Amaha from the ''[[Witchblade (Anime)|Witchblade]]'' anime ''loves'' this, as part of her overall [[Orgasmic Combat]] persona while using her [[Super -Powered Evil Side|Superpowered]] [[Axe Crazy]] side. Masane does this too
** Sarah from [[Witchblade (Comic Book)|the American comics]] does this once in a while as well.
* Happens twice in the second episode of ''[[Slayers]]'', after the cursed knife turns a shop-keeper [[Axe Crazy|homicidal]].
Line 63:
 
== [[Fan Art]] ==
* In the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Ask Pinkamina Diane Pie]] [[Tumblr]], this is [[Lampshaded]]; after expressing her contempt for the act, Pinkie attempts to lick the blade, but cuts her tongue in the process.
