This is simply what you think is the (not some of the, the) best example of any trope (an objective trope, not subjective, since this already is subjective). The "Crowning Example" if you will.

There could be several reasons you think an example is the best.

• You thinks it's the best in terms of illustrating the trope.
• You think it's the most well done.
• It's your favorite play in that trope.
• You just really like the source material.

Oh, and each troper gets one example per trope, no more. Also, don't go "no, this is," or phrases like that. This is about our own personal favorites. Lastly, for the love of God, if you don't want them to be deleted, SIGN YOUR ENTRIES!!

He is then able to start beating the heroes at their own powers, such as using a Flash Step against the Flash and using his duplicated power ring to drive Green Lantern into the ground. He finally gets bored of Earth, after becoming the most powerful opponent the League had ever faced, and leaves. And this is all from looking at the heroes. He is good at what he does.

  • From Inuyasha: Rin, for Sesshoumaru. He starts out as a power-hungry son of a bitch who utterly loathes humans. When Rin dies during his quest into Hell itself to unlock the ultimate power of his sword Tenseiga, he drops the sword and stands there holding the little girl's body, realizing that obtaining that power means nothing to him if the price is Rin's life. His minion, Jaken (who normally snarks about Rin being an annoyance), says something to the effect that Sesshoumaru's disposition prevents him from ever shedding tears—so he, Jaken, will weep for Rin in his master's place. You're not the only one, Jaken.

  • Big Boss. He probably is listed as the MTE for more tropes referring to manliness than any other individual on this entire wiki.
  • I haven't counted how many tropes list Prince Zuko for most triumphant example, but it's a lot.
• Most Wonderful Sound
  • "Tangram Set 1" by Tangerine Dream is pretty much just one long, twenty-minute collection of Most Wonderful Sounds arranged into a progressive melody. If I had to pick one sound from it then it would be the ethereal windchime noise that plays from 3:26 to 3:34. -Ziggy Zag
  • The Konami Logo "Doo, doo, doo, doo-doo-doo" jingle, in the first Metal Gear Solid.
  • Click. - Gorank, User:Gumbal 1

  • MTV Networks is the all-time champion of this. Its namesake (and sibling VH1) have abandoned music videos for Snark Bait reality shows, CMT, once standing for Country Music Television, now shows game shows and Follow the Leader reality shows that were on FOX five years ago, TV Land has started to dump shows from the 50s and 60s to add more recent reruns and reality shows, and The Nashville Network was retooled into The National Network and later Spike TV. The only networks under their banner that haven't appeared to veer wildly off-course are Nickelodeon and Comedy Central.

  • Weil got hit by a giant space laser. Who could survive that?

  • Empowered. That is all.
  • The ENTIRE Marvel Universe
• No Sense of Direction
  • Ryoga Hibiki. Not only is he one of the older examples (the manga ran from roughly 1987 to 1995), his sense of direction is so bad that, for once, the anime wasn't flanderizing him by portraying him as needing to ask for help eleven times (and then need her to presumably guide him out physically after the eleventh try led him to the toilet) to get out of Shampoo's house! The manga once had his lack of direction sense screw up his Danger Sense, so he predicted the threat from entirely the wrong direction!

  • The Path. The entire game is built around this.
  • House of Leaves. The house is scariest at its most passive aggressive.
  • The monster in the prison cell of Silent Hill 2. You never see it, but it moans in a low, guttural voice, and can be targeted with a firearm and killed. Worse, it makes a human-like sound when attacked. People have all but driven themselves crazy over this monster, and how it wouldn't be nearly as scary if you just knew what the fuck it was.

On his quest to rescue Sanoma Tora, he sees Tavia, a slave girl, in trouble and saves her. After that, 1. he sees beautiful women and thinks Tavias is more beautiful than they, and then wonders why he didn't think of Sanoma; 2. he is betrayed into the hands of his enemy, and the traitor has to be either Sanoma or Tavia, and when he learns it was Sanoma, his reaction is overwhelming gratitude that it was not Tavia; 3. he taunts Sanoma with having lost his love, because he has found another, and not a princess but a slave girl; and 4. another character, who had overheard the last, said he was obviously talking about Tavia—and he still denies it! -- Goldfritha

  • Sengoku Basara's rendition of Oda Nobunaga. This is a man who is followed around by a swirling, stormy vortex of death and Ominous Latin Chanting wherever he goes due to his sheer, reality-warping evil he exudes. He is voiced by Norio Wakamoto at his most Norio Wakamoto-est and wears the evilest, spikiest armor known to man (with black and red trim, of course). He not only drinks sake from a human skull, but does so while lounging on a skull-themed throne that sits on top of a pile of even more skulls. His cape is so evil that he can kill people with it. This troper dares anyone to find someone who deserves the subtitle "Biggest, Evilest Bastard in the World" on his ever-so-evil business card more
