== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Code Geass]]'': Lelouch has a theme called "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-tj_IzTJ2Y THE MASTER]" for his most ominous, overlordly, badass scenes.
* In ''[[Ranma ½]]'' Genma and Soun refer to Happosai as The Master; he is less a villain than a sociopathic, [[Jerkass]], sexual molester.
* ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]'': The bartender at the ChaChaMaru is known as "Master." Suppose this may double as [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]], but he DOES fit with the big mustache and the great dining hall. As for evil plans, well, he has a crush on his boozy redhead slacker alcoholic waitress {{spoiler|and eventually marries her}}, so he's got that going for him. "Master" is actually what Japanese people call bartenders in general; you can see it in a few other series, like ''[[Kimagure Orange Road]]''.
** "Master" is actually what Japanese people call bartenders in general; you can see it in a few other series, like ''[[Kimagure Orange Road]]'' and ''[[Miami Guns]]''.
* [[Evil Mentor|Master Asia]] of [[G Gundam]], also known as [[Red Baron|The Undefeated of The East]]. When [[The Hero|Domon]] tries to get his attention, he usually shouts [[Large Ham|"MASTEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!!"]] To clarify why he's called Master, the man can destroy [[Humongous Mecha|Gundams]] ''[[Charles Atlas Superpower|with his bare hands.]]''
 
Line 84 ⟶ 85:
* The Master (formerly Richard Grey) from ''[[Fallout 1]]''.
* ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]'': The [[Bonus Boss]] and most powerful enemy in the original game is known simply as The Master. He's the guy in charge at a martial arts dojo, so its clearly a translation of "Sensei" or something of that nature.
* In ''[[Mega Man ZX]] Advent'' "Master" is given as the title to the members of the Sage Trinity. {{spoiler|twoTwo out of the three are evil.}}
* ''[[Mega Man Legends]]'' 2 has "The Master" {{spoiler|The last human being with everyone else in the game being [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs|robots or clones or robot clones]].}}
* In ''[[Assassin's Creed]]'', the leader of the [[Career Killers|assassins]] is named Al Mualim, literally 'The Master'. {{spoiler|Turns out at the end of the game that he was just using you to give him undisputed control of the Piece of Eden, an ancient artifact capable of brainwashing the world.}}
* ''[[ActRaiser]]'' subverts convention. You ''are'' the Master and you're not at all evil.
Line 92 ⟶ 93:
* Ditto for ''[[Heart of Darkness (video game)|Heart of Darkness]]''.
* The Master Hand from the ''[[Super Smash Brothers]]'' series
