(→‎Anime and Manga: put the two entries for "Ranma ½" into a single block)
Line 58:
* Sunohara Youhei in ''[[Clannad]]''.
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' gives us [[Large Ham|THE AWESOME PRUSSIA]] to fill this role.
* [[Ranma ½]]:
** In his own mind, [[Ranma ½|Tatewaki Kuno]] is a bold samurai with two gorgeous loves, both held in foul thrall by the vile sorcerer Ranma Saotome. Despite the fact he consistently defeats the foul cur, the base villain's magic continues to hold the two girls from his grasp and allow the man to avoid his fate. One day, the vengeance of Heaven will strike Ranma Saotome down, for that vengeance is slow, but sure. In reality, neither of the girls he chases are interested; one because Kuno is a pervert who likes to spout poetic talk, but is ultimately a braggart intent on groping the life out of her, the other for the same reason but because she is in fact a ''he'', a guy with a [[Gender Bender]] curse whom Kuno refuses to admit is the same person as his fictious "pigtailed girl". And whenever Kuno faces Ranma, it's not [[Black Magic]] or cheating that causes Kuno to lose, but the simple fact Ranma has traded a tough upbringing for so much skill in [[Supernatural Martial Arts]] that Kuno is thoroughly [[Overshadowed by Awesome]].
** [[Ranma ½|Ranma Saotome]] talks as though he is a perfect example of humanity and rarely acknowledges any of faults, especially in the manga.▼
* Takamura of ''[[Hajime no Ippo]]'' refers to himself as "ore-sama", which basically means "my great self" and generally thinks to be the greatest in every field when he's not (e.g. women and singing.) In terms of strength, he ''would'' be this, if it weren't for the fact that he ''really is'' as superhumanly strong as he believes himself to be.
* Apone from "Cowa!" considers very highly of himself.
Line 70 ⟶ 72:
* Nora from ''[[Witchblade (anime)|Witchblade]]'' is quite uppity, and stays that way until her demise at the hands of Reina. And she was actually winning that fight too, until she couldn't contain her gloating and trashtalking, then SAT DOWN upon a wounded Reina, completely forgetting that all blade users can make any part of their body a weapon.
* Ishizawa in [[Bakuman｡]] constantly criticizes manga professionals and thinks that he's a great manga artist, when in fact, he can only draw cutesy sketches of girls. When One Hundred Millionth fails to get a prize from the four chosen for finalists for the Tezuka award, Ishizawa claims that he's better than Mashiro and that Mashiro is dragging Takagi down, despite never having tried anything as ambitious as what Mashiro did, prompting Takagi to punch him. He later gets a series in Chara Kira Magazine, but it's clear that he's nowhere near the main characters' skill.
▲* [[Ranma ½|Ranma Saotome]] talks as though he is a perfect example of humanity and rarely acknowledges any of faults, especially in the manga.
* Naoe Kanetsugu from ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' loves to announce his arrival on the battlefield, with a loud declaration of his invincibility, and amazing battle prowess...and always gets swatted away like a common [[Mook]].
* The Cut Man Brothers of [[Mega Man NT Warrior]].
