Line 1: {{trope}} {{quote\|''"Bones heal, chicks dig scars, pain is temporary, glory is forever."''~~\|'''Evel Knievel'''}}~~ \|'''Evel Knievel'''}} Normally, getting hurt isn't a very glorious thing. After all, if you were really that cool nothing could touch you, right? Well, sometimes getting hurt ''is'' cool, and serves to prove just how [[Badass]] a character really is. Line 10 ⟶ 11: To qualify for this trope a character must actually be injured. Shrugging off damage physically may be [[Made of Iron]] or [[Nigh Invulnerability]]. Despite the name, this trope is not limited to males or bullet wounds. Compare: [[I Can Still Fight]]. {{examples}}▼ ▲{{examples}} == [[Anime]] ==▼ == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * Whenever Spike gets shot or falls from a great height in ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'', which is a lot. ▲== [[~~Anime~~Fan Works]] == * Jaune Arc in the ''[[RWBY]]''/''[[The Gamer]]'' crossover fic ''[[The Games We Play (RWBY fic)\|The Games We Play]]'' operates by [[Hit Points]] (the number of which he possesses is constantly increasing) in the real world. This lets him basically ignore almost everything about getting hurt except for the raw accumulated damage -- to the point that he suggests having a limb amputated or even being [[Off with His Head!\|''decapitated'']] with no visible effect as a way an ally can distinguish him from a theoretical imposter. == [[Film]] == * Every injury every sustained by [[Die Hard ~~(Film)~~\|John McClane]]. Ever. * Patrick Swayze's character from ''[[Road House]]''. * Boromir in ''[[The Lord of the Rings\|The Fellowship of the Ring]]''. He gets [[Annoying Arrows\|shot in the chest three times]]... and keeps fighting until he dies. * [[Indiana Jones]]. The man is pretty regularly rode hard and put away wet, yet as the old commercials used to say, he takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Line 26 ⟶ 30: == [[Live Action TV]] == * [[~~Twenty Four~~24\|Jack Bauer]], both injuries sustained during the course of a series, and coming back from having been kept captive and tortured for the years between two seasons. * Captain Janeway in ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]].'' (To the Doctor: "[[Crowning Moment of Awesome\|I'll be coming back with severe burns]]." * [[Playing ~~With~~with a Trope\|Played with]] in ''[[Firefly]]''. Captain Mal, who is unquestionaly a [[Badass]], tends to [[Determinator\|power through pain to get a job done]]. However, after being rather viciously stabbed during a [[Sword Fight\|"Duel of Honour"]], he simply ''will not shut up'' about how he got cut, and how much it hurts.<ref>Jokingly though. He's just trying to milk it for all the sympathy it's worth</ref> {{quote\| '''Inara''': Are you in pain?~~<br />~~ '''Mal''': ''Absolutely''. I got stabbed, you know! ''[points to bandage]'' Right here! }} Line 44 ⟶ 48: * During a 1912 campaign speech, [[Theodore Roosevelt]] was the victim of an assassination attempt; he was shot in the chest, and survived [[Pocket Protector\|due to the bullet hitting the eyeglass case and folded speech in his breast pocket]]. Reaction? He wasn't spitting blood, so he ''stayed on the podium'' and finished his speech before going to the hospital. [[Badass]]. ** Finished? When he got shot, he ''hadn't even started.'' You know it's a [[Badass]] talking when he begins a ''90 minute'' speech with: {{quote\| Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but [[Badass Boast\|it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.]]}} * The [~~http://en.~~[wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Purple_Heart~~:Purple Heart\|Purple Heart]] award is essentially a patriotic incarnation of this. It's generally not a medal anyone particularly ''wants'' to get. {{reflist}} Line 51 ⟶ 55: [[Category:Masculinity Tropes]] [[Category:Injury Tropes]] ~~[[Category:Darkness Visible]]~~ [[Category:Real Men Get Shot]] ~~[[Category:Trope]]~~
