Rescue Arc: Difference between revisions

Line 31:

* The reason for Kenshiro's [[Walking the Earth]] in the Southern Cross arc of ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'' was to rescue Yuria from Shin.

** Kenshiro's objective during the later ''Shura'' arc is to rescue Lin from the ''Rasho''.

* ''[[GetBackers]]''' [[Overtook the Manga|anime-only]] final arc was about rescuing Makubex, who was kidnapped by [[The Mole|Masaki]] and Brain Trust for knowing too much about the various secrets of the series. Ginji {{spoiler|barely stopped him from making a [[Heroic Sacrifice]].}} The ''manga'' has two arcs like this: the goal of the Eternal Bond arc was to rescue [[~~Distressed~~ Damsel|Madoka]] and goals of the final Lost Time arc included rescuing Himiko, Juubei, Toshiki and Sakura.

* Aside from Hiei kidnapping Keiko for one episode, ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' has a short arc (about four episodes) about rescuing Yukina. Unusually, she wasn't a friend of the heroes at the time, but Yusuke's pretty much stuck doing what Koenma says to do and Kuwabara fell in love with her at first sight. (Coincidentally, he ran off and missed [[Locked Out of the Loop|the biggest not-secret the series]]: ''[[Luke, I Am Your Father|Yukina is Hiei's sister!!]]'')

** And in the Sensui arc, with Kuwabara

Line 49:

* The latter half of the Conviction arc in ''[[Berserk]]'' centers around Guts looking for and rescuing his lover Casca from being executed as a witch by the quasi-Apostle Mozgus.

** [[Berserk]] also has the Griffith rescue arc close to the end of the Golden Age saga. Guts had left the Hawks due to irreconcilable differences between him and Griffith. After Griffith was defeated in their second duel, Griffith, in the throes of [[Heroic BSOD]], paid a visit to Princess Charlotte's bedchamber and had sex with her. This ROYALLY pissed off the King, who had him arrested and sent to the Tower of Rebirth to be put to the torture and had the rest of the Hawks declared outlaw. After the Skull Knight persuades Guts to return, he finds Casca in charge of the Hawks, and together with the Hawks, they head to the Tower of Rebirth to rescue Griffith. The state Guts finds Griffith in sends him into one of the greatest examples of [[Unstoppable Rage]] in the series, as he kills his way through every last Midland guard standing between them and the way out. Unfortunately for everyone, Griffith has grown to hate Guts during the year that he was in the Tower, and this, along with other factors, would ultimately lead to the events of the Eclipse.

* In [[Marchen Awakens Romance]] season 4 also known as the ''Ghost Chess arc'', Team MAR have to save [[The Stoic|Alviss]] from [[Big Bad|Phantom]] after he [[~~Distressed~~ Dude|gets captured]] and [[Hypnotize the Princess|forced to turn against them via brainwashing.]]

** Before that, Team MAR had to save [[The Chick|Snow]] twice. The first time was a minor plot at the beginning of the series and the second time at the end where she gets captured during the semi-finals because of letting her guard down against her opponent.
