Line 34:
* Gold in the ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]] Adventures'' manga had a pool cue that he uses for calling out his [[Mons]].
* In the ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'' manga, Gackto's rod, decorated with [[Suck My Rose|roses]] and jewels, is used like the mermaids' E-Pitches for the Dark Lovers' song. {{spoiler|Rihito}} inherits one just like it, but never actually uses it as a weapon.
* Shu from ''[[Now and Then, Here and There]]'' utilizes a long stick as a staff of sorts; the weapon is mainly used as a contrast against the other characters' weapons, where all of the other ''children'' are wielding knives and guns. Although he isn't very skilled per se (he mainly just recklessly uses the same [[wikipedia:Men (kendo)|move]] over and over), it is meant to highlight his pacifism.
* Fasalina from ''[[Gun X Sword]]'' wields... uh... a very long pole-dancer stick. Either to beat the crap out of her opponents, or to control her mecha. And even her mecha comes with it.
* When {{spoiler|Kuu Fei}} makes a Pactio with Negi in the ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' manga, her artifact is a replica of the [[Journey to the West|Ruyi Jingu Bang]].
** And Negi's staff, which he received [[Ancestral Weapon|from his father]].
* Husky in [[
* As mentioned in the ''[[Journey to the West]]'' example below, Son Goku of [[Dragon Ball]] wields the Nyoi-Bo. A magical staff that grows and shrinks as the user's will. (Known as the "Power Pole" in the dub.) However, it fades from use in [[Dragonball Z]]. Also, Kamesennin (Master Roshi) has a staff of his own, he never seems to really use it for anything though.
* Nami from [[One Piece]] uses a simple staff at the beginning but later replaces it with the Clima Tact in Alabasta
Line 100:
== Tabletop Games ==
* Monks in the 3rd (and 3.5) Edition of ''[[Dungeons
** Subverted in ''Basic [[Dungeons
* Just about every RPG, be it tabletop or online, have staffs as one of the most common weapons carrid by spellcasters. In some games they count as [[Magic Wand]]s, while in others they just give stat and damage boosts. Either way, staffs aren't usually very good melee weapons, although exceptions do exist.
* In ''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse]]'', the Children of Gaia had perfected a style of combat with a simple wooden staff that could nonlethally knock out even a werewolf in a single strike.
Line 117:
** The same game also gives us [[White Magician Girl|Aerith]], with a far more traditional, shock-free staff (and magic).
* Venom from ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' is an assassin who kills people with a ''pool cue''. Not so much a Simple Staff as an unconventional spear.
** [[Spiritual Successor]] ''[[
* The main character from ''[[Suikoden I]]'' used a bo staff as his primary weapon. Jowy, the [[Childhood Friend]] of [[The Hero]] in ''[[Suikoden II]]'', uses a simple blue staff as his weapon of choice, whilst [[The Hero]] himself uses [[Dual Tonfas]]. Prince Freyjadour Falenas from ''[[Suikoden V]]'' used a collapsible tri-sectioned staff.
* ''[[Breath of Fire II]]'' has [[Catgirl|Katt]], a staff-wielding [[Cute Bruiser]] who also ended up playing the [[Black Magician Girl]]—despite starting as a fighter, she expressed interest in learning magic... and towards the end of the game, she suddenly got some of the most powerful attack spells in the game and enough MP to use them.
