** Lesser Extent? Phil is just as error prone as Amelia. Just with fewer redeeming periods of competence.

*** Phil's way more competent. He talks and looks funny, but ''acts'' more as [[Reluctant Warrior]] or [[Knight in Shining Armor]]. Amelia performed pratfalls until it became [[Running Gag]]. He preaches to the ghosts and they ''heed'' him, she has [[Have You Tried Not Being a Monster?]] speech even [[Idiot Hero|Gourry]] saw as absurd. In charges without checking what force they face they're about equal, but given how much even top spells fall short, it's not ''that'' bad. We just see his better moments rarely because he has much less time on screen. Of course, whenever these two in a line of sight of each other, silliness increases on both sides.

* Tatewaki Kuno from ''[[Ranma One Half|Ranma 1/2]]'' comes from wealthy [[Kendo Team Captain|samurai]] stock, and speaks in flowery poetic text. He is always easily defeated by most of the other characters, but is always supremely confident and arrogant. He is too stupid to notice that Ranma is a [[Gender Bender]], and not two separate people. He's actually seen him transform right in front of him numerous times.

* Shuutaro Mendo (from ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]''), possibly Kuno's literary ancestor, is much the same. He's incredibly wealthy, carries a sword everywhere he goes, and generally acts the cool sophisticate, an act for which the local girls fawn over him in adoration. Scratch the gloss, however, and he's really no better than [[Loveable Sex Maniac]] Ataru Moroboshi himself. In fact, he's debateably worse, given that he's utterly afraid of the dark, claustrophobic, and a [[Dirty Coward]], while Ataru is capable of [[Determinator|insane acts of bravery and determination]].
