** Some would say that Seras Victoria is one of these as well.
* Poor [[Hentai Kamen|Kyousuke.]]
* ''[[Mazinger Z (Anime)|Mazinger Z]]'': Professor Yumi, Shiro and sometimes Boss alternated in filling the role. The first one was the director of a research lab where [[Mad Scientist|Mad Scientists]] (the funny version) and [[Hot -Blooded]], hardheaded teenagers ran around. The second one was [[Hot -Blooded|Kouji]] [[Idiot Hero|Kabuto]] little brother, and often showed more brains than his rash, loudmouthed, tactless older brother. And Boss... well, even though he was [[Comic Relief]], often he was the one had to talk Kouji or Sayaka into reason.
** A serious example happened in episode 7: while Sayaka was going through a [[Heroic BSOD]] and losing her will to fight, and Kouji was playing [[Achilles in His Tent]], Boss was trying to remember them over and again there WAS one Mechanical Beast coming, and all of them would die if they didn't fight back! Later Kouji and Sayaka were apologizing at each other and Shiro noted boss was the only was right in that situation.
* [[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Yomi]] is probably the most sane person in her group, followed by Chiyo.
Line 69:
* [[Magic Knight Rayearth]] - Zagato was the only one who questioned the Pillar system. Everyone else just went along with it. YMMV, of course- and this could be an [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] as well.
* Jim Hawking from [[Outlaw Star]] is frequently the only one to see the insanity in Gene's incessant [[Indy Ploy]]'s.
* He's a cold-blooded [[Sociopathic Soldier]], but when compared to his lunatic partners, [[Axe Crazy|Auel]], and [[Psychopathic Manchild|Stella]], Sting Oakley of ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'' is a pillar of stability and reasonableness. He's the only one to [[Know When to Fold 'Em]], and he typically acts as the brains of the outfit, keeping the other two from going totally over the edge. When they die, he finally snaps.
** Sting owes something to Gates Capa of ''[[Zeta Gundam]]'', the only remotely sane Cyber-Newtype, whose job seems to have been keeping Rosamia stable. ''Zeta'' also features Emma Sheen and Henken Bekkener whose [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] status is owed almost entirely to their being a pair of reasonable, rational, competent adults in the childish [[Dysfunction Junction]] that is the AEUG.
* Koushi Inuzuka of ''[[Sumomo Mo Momo Mo]]'' is the only one aware that there are laws against the types of shenanigans that regularly break out, and he regularly quotes them for good measure. He also initially objects to the impossibility of some actions, but eventually just settles into being a [[Deadpan Snarker]] about it.
* Hyuga Koushiro is more or less this in [[Kamisama Dolls]], especially among the Seki. Utao and Kirio are [[Bratty Half -Pint|just children]], Aki's a homicidal maniac and Mahiru is... not all together there. Kyouhei ''tries'' to be this but still has lingering, unresolved issues from the same event that broke Mahiru and contributed to Aki's issues.
* Konan from ''[[Naruto]]'' is arguably this when it comes to the Akatsuki.
* There is at least one sane man among every Dex Holder group in ''[[Pokémon Special]]'':
