Papa Wolf/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

Line 35:

** An old man in the episode "Free the Future", while Android 18 was blowing things up after getting angered with Android 17 for killing a boy she thought was cute, attempted to shoot Android 17 (as that boy was in fact his son). It failed, because Android 17 was resistant to gunfire, and needed saving by the time Trunks arrived.

* Yusuke from ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' is a subtle example. Harming/killing at least ''one'' of his loved ones gets mad, but if it's Keiko or Kuwabara, '''''he will kick their ass!'''''

* ''[[One Piece]]''

* ~~''[[One~~ ~~Piece]]''~~ ~~has~~ ~~Captain Whitebeard~~, {{spoiler|formerly}} one of the four most powerful pirates in the world. An attack on one of the Whitebeard Pirates is never forgiven and his reactions are legendary-when the World Government sentenced his adoptive son and lieutenant Ace to death, everyone involved knew immediately that it was effectively an outright declaration of war.

** Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate, {{spoiler|formerly}} one of the four most powerful pirates in the world. An attack on one of the Whitebeard Pirates is never forgiven and his reactions are legendary-when the World Government sentenced his adoptive son and lieutenant Ace to death, everyone involved knew immediately that it was effectively an outright declaration of war.

** After {{spoiler|Ace's death}}, instead of going [[Unstoppable Rage|insane with rage]] like most had expected, Whitebeard in a frightful and calm way {{spoiler|defeated his ''very'' powerful murderer Akainu in two blows and, in the same blow, split the entire Marine island in half... despite being stabbed, blown up, gutted and with half his face burnt off. All to avenge poor Ace's death}}. [[Tranquil Fury|And you thought Whitebeard on a rampage was bad?]]

** There's also ~~Chef~~ Zeff, who was like this towards the young Sanji. [[Volleying Insults|When they didn't chew each other up, of course]]. This *is* the [[Retired Badass|ex-pirate]] who either {{spoiler|ate his own leg so child Sanji would have enough food to survive}} in the manga or {{spoiler|had the same leg cut off to rescue the kid from drowning when the shp he worked in was sunk}} in the anime, after all.

** Shanks, when Luffy is threatened. There is a ''reason'' why he lost ~~that~~ arm ~~of his~~...

** Shanks, when Luffy is threatened. There is a ''reason'' why he lost his arm...

** Luffy himself is a version of this trope, as any attack on the physical or emotional well-being of his crewmembers is taken personally and likely to result in an angry and violent beatdown, like he did when Nami had a hertbreaking [[Heroic BSOD]] once her efforts to save her village were thwarted by her [[Bad Boss]] and he epically beat up and defeated said boss. Prior to the [[Time Skip]], however, he was just a fledgling, made clear from {{spoiler|the fact that he isn't quite strong enough to back up this fierce protective instinct yet. He found that out the hard way in Shabaody, where the entire crew was more or less beaten half to death and scattered to the four corners of the Earth by Bartholomew Kuma and he was helpless to stop it. But especially, considering the fact that Kuma was on their side, that was ''nothing'' compared to when he went to [[The Alcatraz]] and then the World Government's headquarters to rescue his older brother from execution, only to have him die in his arms.}} Seriously, if he hadn't had Jinbe there to [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|knock some sense into him]], he wouldn't have been able to [[Took a Level in Badass|Take A Level In Badass]] to transcend pretty much all the limitations he had, and then some.

*** Zoro too. He's normally not the type to take revenge. But Ohm made him reconsider that when he set traps that brutally injured Chopper. Also, when Robin was almost killed by Enel, he caught her before she fell (despite his earlier distrust against her) and furiously attacked Enel as a result. In fact, any member of the Straw Hats will beat up '''anyone''' who dares to hurt their [[True Companions]], as proven when the Franky Family beat up Usopp, and the remaining male members returned the favour and destroyed their house in retaliation.

** Garp is a Grandpa Wolf who would have killed {{spoiler|Akainu for killing Ace}} if Sengoku, the ''Fleet Admiral'', hadn't stopped him. He even tells Sengoku to keep him down or he would have tore {{spoiler|Akainu}} to pieces.

*** Also, {{spoiler|Luffy's actual father Dragon the Revolutionary}} has appeared only once or twice, but one of these apparitions puts him squarely here. When Luffy was about to be executed by Smoker... {{spoiler|a lighting fell from the sky and Dragon showed up. He went to Smoker and spoke to him... and Smoker ''nearly pissed in his pants'' due to that, and let Luffy go.}}

** Ahem, Bartholomew Kuma. In the Egghead arc, just when Jaygarcia Saturn has the heroes on the ropes and is about to kill Bonney, Kuma (her adoptive father) appears out of nowhere, effortlessly tossing aside Saturn's entire battalion of Marines in a matter of seconds (this includes two Vice Admirals and another Pacifista). Defying his programming (possibly even overriding a self-destruct mechanism that Saturn tries to use)<ref>Assuming this isn’t a result of vegapunk deactivating it, which is possible</ref> he picks Bonney up, gets her to safety and, despite her pleading with him to stop (as she realizes he is ''dying'', as he has taken dozens of bullet and knife wounds by now, with much of his cybernetics badly broken and the human parts of his body horribly wounded) goes back and delvers what is likely the most satisfying punch to a villain’s ugly face in the whole franchise (and possibly the first time it has happened to Saturn in his eight centuries as a tyrant) the manga devoting ''several whole'' pages [[Catharsis Factor| to showing him crashing through buildings and toppling trees]] from the impact of the ''ferocious'' Papa Wolf.

* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'''s Antonio aka Spain goes from [[Doting Parent]] [[Team Mom]] to Papa Wolf as soon as his protégé, Romano/South Italy, is kidnapped by Sadiq/Turkey.

** [[The Gunslinger|Switzerland]] is scary enough on a regular day. Now try doing ANYTHING to [[Morality Pet|Liechtenstein]], I dare you.
