Mugging the Monster: Difference between revisions

Line 55:
* ''[[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple]]'': Some school bullies tell Tirawit to jump as it's part of the "traditional Japanese greeting," but obviously so the change in his pockets will jingle. As the head guy closes his eyes and explains, Tirawat jumps about twenty feet straight up and then crushes the coins between his fingers ("And this is a traditional Thai greeting.") and makes them his minions.
** And any time that someone unknowingly picks a fight with one of Kenichi's masters. The foremost example is when Freya's [[Amazon Brigade]] decides that it would be a great idea to attack [[Lady of War|Shigure]]. Good thing Kenichi talked her out of using an actual weapon. Instead, she disarms all of her enemies ''with a wooden spoon''. And by "disarm" we mean "[[Absurdly Sharp Blade|sliced all their weapons into pieces and cut their clothing in places that made]] Kenichi [[Nosebleed|bleed out from his nose]]" naturally.
*** In their minimal defense, they thought Shigure was a Disciple... which at her age would imply that she's pretty damn incompetent because she should have graduated already. Unfortunately for them, Shigure was not Ryozanpaku's oldest Disciple but their youngest ''Master'', and she got that title at her age by being ''extremely'' competent.
** Subverted hilariously by Kenichi after the end of D of D arc. Kenichi and co have returned to school after fighting their way through life-threatening battles against opponents who had the skill, ability and mentality to kill them. Kenichi is promptly approached by a group of incoming wannabe delinquent freshmen and shows the fruits of his training and experience by... averting his eyes and cowering away. Nijima and the Shinpaku alliance have to bail him out and Nijima expresses his disbelief that Kenichi can still be afraid of common thugs. Kenichi responds that he's still traumatized from all his years as a professional bullying victim.
* In ''[[Angel Densetsu]]'', it's a small wonder Ryoko or Ikuno ''still'' finds people bothering them. You'd guess that after beating up half the city's delinquents, the other half would smart up a bit.
