Line 40:
* Pretty much the entire cast of Cyborg009.
* Vincent Valentine's long red scarf is one of the major blooms of color for a few scenes of ''[[Final Fantasy VII]] : Advent Children'', and looks quite [[Badass]] through all of them, [[The Worf Barrage|even if he doesn't actually kill much]].
** It's a cloak. In ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' Cid wears one as does Yuffie in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''.
* Konohamaru from ''[[Naruto]]'' has never been seen without a scarf, though it didn't help him much in the way of asskicking or popularity. Still he stayed the course and in the last arc at last {{spoiler|he revealed to have learned the Rasengan and distracting him with a Kage Bushin feint got decent shot in on [[The Dragon|Pain]] before Naruto or any of the Konoha 12 managed to lay a finger on him.}}
** Killer Bee also has a white scarf, and [[Crazy Awesome|wears it well]].
Line 64:
*** And in Masamune form Tsubaki and Black Star's shadows BECOME this.
* ''[[Busou Renkin]]'' as well. Kazuki looked pretty cool when he used the fabric from his kakugane as a scarf to hide his face. (It didn't work, but it was still cool.)
* Yuzuriha of the Crane, a Silver Saint from ''[[Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas]]'' has a scarf that ''literally'' kicks ass (through its wearer's [[Psychic Powers|telekinesis]]).
* In chapter 19 of ''[[Karneval]]'', {{spoiler|the [[Badass]] split personality of Yogi saves Gareki from the split personality's own attack with his long-ass ass-kicking scarf}}.
* Sakura from ''[[GetBackers]]'' brings it up to [[Improbable Weapon User]] levels.
* How can we forget Lin Xiao Li (aka Number X) from ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]''? He wields a feather mantle made out of [[Unobtanium|Orichalcum]] that can cut just about anything. To top it all, he's scarily effective in battle.
* In ''[[Change 123]]'' the protagonist is an [[Otaku]] fan of the ''Kamen Raider'' series (a [[Shout-Out]] to/LawyerFriendlyCameo of ''[[Kamen Rider]]''). At one point, he goes into action dressed up as a raider, including the standard issue scarf. And, of course, since he is such a clumsy nerd, he steps on this scarf and stumbles.
* Shiina in ''[[Angel Beats]]!''
* ''Lots'' in ''[[Tegami Bachi]]''. It helps that it's part of the letter bee uniform.
* Lavi in ''[[D.Gray-man]]'' wears a long orange, later red, scarf.
Line 132:
== New Media ==
* [[Lampshade Hanging]] in ''[[Bob and George]]'', with Protoman's and Bob's ever-flowing scarves.
* ''[[Gaia Online]]'' has several items like this that your avatar can wear. Most are limited-edition and highly sought by collectors, like the Nitemare Scarf.
** Several NPCs also wear scarves. Labtech X was famous for adding a tattered scarf to his Labtech Uniform to [[The Faceless|hide his face]] {{spoiler|He later traded his cyan-green scarf for a jet black one, complete with a full face covering and large X on the front. This appropriately named "Sinister Scarf" is one of the four rewards you can earn from defeating the Mechlab Bot at X's Underwater Base}}. The "Chyaku Norisu Scarf," a popular limited edition item, is worn by high ranking members of the Chyaku Norisu Clan (namely Kin, though two other NPC concepts have been seen wearing similar scarves).
* [[Dominic Deegan]]'s iconic scarf. It even helps him in mental battles!
Line 140:
** Rose later made a new dress that seems to use the scarf as a belt.
* Troy McKelski of [[A Loonatics Tale]]. Also, the Mysteelion military uses scarves as ranking indicators, so the scarf of, say, a combat-hardened sergeant, most likely is a ''literal'' [[Scarf of Asskicking]].
* Kaito of the ''Vocaloid'' cast has a blue scarf that he's quite known for.
* [http://nhazul.newgrounds.com/ Nhazul, the protagonist of..well..Nhazul's stick flashes from 3008-present, sometimes sports a rather magnificent one (for one worn by a stick figure).]
Line 169:
* Gruntilda in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.
* For his appearance in ''Marvel vs. Capcom'', [[Strider Hiryu|Strider]] Hiryu gained a scarf which he's kept ever since.
* The ''[[Wild Arms]]'' series is in love with this trope. Every game has a major character wearing a long flowing scarf. ''Wild Arms 1'' has Zed, ''2'' has Knight Blazer, ''3'' has Jet, ''4'' has Arnaud, ''5'' has Dean, and ''XF'' has Rupert.
* Both Hattori Hanzo and Galford of ''[[Samurai Shodown]]'' wear scarves. The scarves were short in the first two games, but when SNK redrew their sprites for SS3, they became tripping hazards.
* Zul'Jin, the troll leader of [[Warcraft]].
Line 186:
** Sakuya for definite sports one of these in Perfect Cherry Blossom. However that IS because it's winter during the Incident.
* Rita Mordio in ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]'' uses scarves/sashes as weapons when not using a chain. She even justifies their use as weapons in one of the game's skits by stating how she makes the "aer" in their weaves more dense in order to make them rigid. Or something like that.
* ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]'' has Emil Castagnier in his [[Super-Powered Evil Side|'Ratatosk Mode.']]
** In the first game, we have [[The Hero|Lloyd]], though it's more like "long, white [[Hachimaki]] wrapped around the neck" of asskicking.
* In ''[[Samurai Shodown]]'', [[McNinja|Galford D. Weiler]] is always seen with a scarf. [[All There in the Manual|According to the data books]], this scarf is his most prized possession, given from his master after graduating from ninja school.
Line 200:
* [[Jak and Daxter|Jak]] gets one of these in ''[[Jak II]]'' and ''[[Jak 3]]''.
** [[Uncharted Drakes Fortune|Nathan Drake]] seems to be following in the footsteps of the former Naughty Dog protagonist in Uncharted 3.
* [[F-Zero|Captain Falcon]] has one in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''Melee'', but it's fully shown in ''Brawl''.
* Kisuke in ''[[Muramasa: The Demon Blade]]''. He has a blue scarf, is a Ninja using a sword style specifically created to kick the ass of everything from other Ninja to [[You Fail Logic Forever|gods of thunder]] with a metal blade. Oh and the [[Cool Sword|blade]] he uses? It was made by the spirit of one of the greatest swordsmiths of all time from the souls of his defeated enemies.
* Kay Faraday wears a long scarf with the end cut into a bird-wing shape in ''[[Ace Attorney Investigations]]''. She also pins a home-made Yatagarasu symbol broach to it.
