The Ace: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Future GPX Cyber Formula]]'' has Shinjyo, Randoll, and Osamu. Shinjyo is a 2-time European F-3 champion, Randoll is incredibly rich and excels at every sport and endeavor he could get his hands on and Osamu had an excellent record in F-3.

* Kasuka Heiwajima from ''[[Durarara]]'' is ridiculously pretty, brilliant, talented in just about everything (his list of hobbies is [[The Long List]]), filthy rich, extremely popular, and [[Always Someone Better|just about everything that can possibly make his brother Shizuo look horribly inadequate in comparison]] (Shizuo himself ''adores'' him, but it ''is'' killing his self-esteem - he doesn't even like having their names mentioned in the same sentence because he thinks [[Insult to Rocks|it's insulting to his brother]]).

* [[Genshiken]] has Makoto Kousaka. Unlike the other socially awkward and mundane otaku in the show, he is an attractive, well dressed, charismatic, all around nice guy who also towers over the rest of the cast in intellect (hell, he managed to land a job as a programmer after studying for one month).

** He's also the first member of Genshiken to get a girlfriend.

* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' has Kaworu as a nice subversion. He synchronizes at a [[Over Nine Thousand|higher level than any other pilot]] and is probably the only sane person. He's also a [[Humanoid Abomination]] sent here to [[Apocalypse Maiden|destroy humanity]]. He chooses not to, though. [[It Got Worse|That gives humanity another thirty minutes.]]

* Several characters in ''[[Ben-To]]'', but especially "The Wizard," legendary master of [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|violent discount microwaveable dinner acquisition]].

* All of the Generation of Miracles from ''[[Kuroko no Basuke]]'' are this for their respective high school teams, but special mention goes to Aomine, who was considered [[The Ace]] of the Generation of Miracles.

** It even gets a bit meta; Zack is one of, if not THE most popular characters of the FFVII compilation. Possibly the entire franchise.

* ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'' gives us a straight example, Squall Leonhart, who is also the main protagonist. At one point, he [[Rookie Red Ranger|is given command of Balamb Garden, despite being a new graduate]], [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|regardless of your current SeeD rank]]. You're also given missions like abducting heads of state. Yes, typical stuff a newbie who just graduated does. And we should mention that your party includes [[Cool Big Sis|your former teacher]].

** Tidus is only really [[The Ace]] in Blitzball; he's an [[Idiot Hero]] for a lot of the game.

* Miles Edgeworth of [[Ace Attorney]] comes across as this. Handsome, rich, extremely intelligent, cultured and a living legend at his job. Subverted though, he's got a whole heap of [[Broken Ace|personal problems]] and starts as something of an [[Amoral Attorney]].
