Line 18:
* Jinpei in ''[[Science Ninja Team Gatchaman]].'' Yes, he drives a Swiss Army knife of a vehicle, and he's no slouch in a fight, but he otherwise has no unique skills to display.
* Zoro from ''[[One Piece]]''. Every other crew member has a designated position (i.e. Captain, Shipwright, Navigator) except him, unless "Swordsman" counts. It's assumed (even by characters outside the main cast) but never outright stated that he's [[Number Two|First Mate]].
** Downplayed with Robin, the the archaeologist of the Straw Hat Crew; until the Zou arc, there were no benefits of having an archaeologist on board. Although, Robin was never officially invited to join them to begin with, being sort of a guest whom they never asked to leave. On Zou, however, Robin quickly becomes useful, as the Straw Hats learn that they need to decipher all four Road Poneglyphs to find the One Piece. Furthermore, since she is one of the very few people who is able to decipher Poneglyphs, it gives the Straw Hats a massive advantage over almost every other crew who wants to find that legendary treasure. Being the sole survivor and last archaeologist of Ohara, Robin is literally irreplaceable for the crew.
** The main characters technically are pirates. Even if you let that slide, they travel in very dangerous areas, meaning that having a dedicated fighter is in no way unreasonable.
** It's assumed that he's the "champion" of the crew: Basically, Luffy thought it'd be cool for the next Pirate King to have someone aspiring to be the "world's strongest swordsman" in his crew, so he recruited him.
* According to his description in the english version of volume 61, he's the 'Fighter'.
* Jersey Club from [[Rinne no Lagrange]] does exactly this trope. Be at being an extra participant in any activity or saving the Earth, Jersey Club does it.
