The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Difference between revisions

Line 73:

* In ''[[Rozen Maiden|Rozen Maiden Träumend]]'', the first season's [[Big Bad]] Suigintou gives an entire speech about how she will be the one to ultimately defeat Shinku {{spoiler|while taking a fatal barrage of crystal arrows, shielding Shinku from harm and dying in her arms}}.

* Pixy Misa in ''[[Pretty Sammy|Magical Project S]]'' often talks about how she will be the one to defeat Pretty Sammy and nobody else.

* Kyouko, the main character of the manga ''[[Skip Beat]]'', views her relationship with Shou in this way.

* Kyouko, the main character of the manga ''[[Skip Beat!]]'', views her relationship with Shou in this way.

* This is pretty much Aptom's raison d'etre in ''[[Guyver]]'', his sole goal in life is to defeat Sho in combat.

* Until their promotion in ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]: Best Wishes'', the only reason that the Team Rocket trio continued to exist in the show was for the sole purpose of capturing Pikachu, giving it to their boss, and becoming ridiculously wealthy, according to their fantasies of how well their boss will reward them.

Line 83:

** He gives a similar response to [[Talkative Loon|Graham Spectre]], stating, "I like brazen, impudent guys that only I can kill." Graham may as well have [[Ho Yay|taken it for a love confession]].

* Yajirou towards The Jester in ''[[Grenadier]]'' after he finds out who he really is.

* [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilariously]] [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] in ''[[Clannad]] [[After Story]]'' episode 2, where Sunohara wrongly imagines himself and Tomoyo to be this:

* [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilariously]] [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] in ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]] [[After Story]]'' episode 2, where Sunohara wrongly imagines himself and Tomoyo to be this:

{{quote|'''Youhei:''' "It's got nothing to do with you."

'''Tomoyo:''' "Exactly. See you." (begins to walk away)

'''Youhei:''' "No! You're supposed to say, 'I don't want to see you lose to anyone other than me.'" }}

* In ''[[Battle B-daman]]'', [[Anti-Hero]] Enjyu is obsessed with defeating [[The Hero]] Yamato Delgato and ends up secretly helping the main gang because doing otherwise would let [[Big Bad]] Marda-B defeat Yamato.

* Yami from ''[[To ~~Love~~ Ru]]'' acts this way towards Rito, to the point of saving his life repeatedly so that she can kill him. Of course, she's had dozens of opportunities to off him, but never actually ''does'', so it seems that the whole "only I can kill him" thing is just an act to justify saving him all the time.

Of course, she's had dozens of opportunities to off him, but never actually ''does'', so it seems that the whole "only I can kill him" thing is just an act to justify saving him all the time.

** Or it is because, as Yami justifies it, so that she can stay on Earth since she likes it there.

* [[Large Ham|Graham]] [[Hot-Blooded|Aker]] of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' believes that he's the only one allowed to defeat Setsuna F. Seiei (or more to the point, Setsuna's Gundam). Setsuna has more important things to do.

Line 105:

* A really weird inverted example in ''[[Corsair]]'', where [[Career Killer|assassin-trained]] [[The Strategist|Kanare]] is only happy once he has [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|repeated assurances]] from his lover [[Badass|master-swordsman]] [[The Stoic|Ayace]] that if he goes on a killing spree Ayace will kill him. [[Sarcasm Mode|Uh-huh.]] [[Love Makes You Dumb|Suuuurrre.]]

* Hayato and Kaga in ''[[Future GPX Cyber Formula]]'', as Kaga sees his rivalry with Hayato as this.

* In the anime version of [[~~Risky Safety~~]], Risky decides to try and rescue a young girl from burning to death, and prior to that, yells at to not go into her father's burning workshop. Why? Because Risky's supposed to take her soul, and she can't do that if the girl dies by someone/something other than Risky herself. [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Or so she claims, anyway...]]

Because Risky's supposed to take her soul, and she can't do that if the girl dies by someone/something other than Risky herself. [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Or so she claims, anyway...]]

* Arguably, both played straight and somewhat averted in ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]''. [[The Hero|Train]] and [[Complete Monster|Creed]] seem to have a mutual attitude along these lines, although neither of them actually go out of their way to help the other. Also, in volume four of the manga, an assassin appears who believes that killing is an art. After witnessing Train shoot '''bullets out of the air''', the assassin ignores his current target and leaves, before flat-out telling Train (paraphrased) "You'd better stay alive, so I can kill you myself." Averted, in that the character never makes another appearance.

* ''[[Medaka Box]]'': Pretty much invoked word for word by all of Medaka's former enemies, including the Plus in support for her against {{spoiler|Kumagawa}}.

Line 125:

* Averted with tragicomic results in a Marvel ''What If?'' where [[The Punisher]] killed [[Spider-Man]] during their first meeting. Instead of being pissed, his rogue's gallery threw a party, with the Punisher as the guest of honor. Unfortunately for them, they've misunderstood the Punisher's motives, and he takes the opportunity to mow them all down.

* Megatron uses this trope to his advantage in the ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass]]'' comics. He knows full well that an Autobot would never kill him out of fear of what Optimus would do to them later for destroying Megatron before he got the chance. They're even afraid to tell Optimus that Megatron MIGHT be dead. For those unfamiliar with ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass|Shattered Glass]]'', it's a universe where the Autobots are evil conquerors and the Decepticons are heroic freedom fighters.

* This is something of an inversion of their relationship in the [[Marvel]] ''[[The Transformers (~~Comic~~ ~~Book~~)|Generation 1]]'' comic. In a story by Bob Budiansky, Optimus and Megatron agree to settle their differences by video game tournament, and Megatron wins (by cheating). Thus, the ref blows up Optimus, and so Megatron slides into depression and insanity due to not being the one that struck the fatal blow.

* Daken has this with his [[Wolverine|father]], he fought [[Deadpool]] when it seemed he was about to kill Logan. Of course Wolverine set the whole thing up.

* [[Incredible Hulk|Skaar]] has this for his father the Hulk and it's why he protects Banner while he waits for the Hulk's return. Granted, Skaar isn't a bad guy (He's mainly angry because he thinks he abandoned him) and Banner is training him for when the Hulk returns.

Line 216:

** Sephiroth has specifically stated Cloud is the "only one" who can destroy him. In every appearance he has had, he has been fought by [[Kingdom Hearts|Sora]], [[Dissidia Final Fantasy|The Warrior of Light]], [[Final Fantasy II|Firion]], [[Final Fantasy X|Tidus]], [[Final Fantasy IV|Cecil]] (all three offscreen), Tifa, [[Crisis Core|Zack Fair]], and countless others...out of all of them, only Sora and the Warrior beat him in a sword duel, but with the cutscenes that follow after Sephiroth makes it clear that they can't '''truly''' beat him.

* ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' has an odd version, where Gilgamesh seems to believe that he's the only one allowed to defeat ''anybody''. He considers the world and everything in it his property, which means that he is allowed to do anything he wants to anybody he wants, but if someone ''else'' starts killing people ''en masse'' he becomes infuriated and will hunt them down for attacking his 'subjects'.

* ''[[~~Blaz Blue~~]]'' has Jin Kisaragi who constantly says that he is the only one who must defeat his Older Brother and Rival, Ragna The Bloodedge.

* ''[[BlazBlue]]'' has Jin Kisaragi who constantly says that he is the only one who must defeat his Older Brother and Rival, Ragna The Bloodedge.

** Kokonoe is an even worse version. She had to be the one to frag Terumi, no one else. Even if she had to use nukes.

* The 8-Bit version of ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'', sees Dr. Robotnik catch Sonic the instant before he falls into a lava pit only to drop him into an adjacent, much less deadly self-devised trap. Can be seen at 1:50 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvKZOZv7iDI here.]

Line 225:

* Aveline says this regarding Isabela in [[Dragon Age II]] at the end of Act II, {{spoiler|when the Arishok states that they'll only leave Kirkwall with both Isabela and the Tome she stole from them}}.

* Raz in [[Psychonauts]] tells his camp councilors this about the [[Big Bad]] right before they send him away from the battle, claiming that "the grownups should handle this." He's understandably pissed off later.

* In ''[[Ratchet and Clank All 4 One]]'' when you play as Qwark and Dr. Nefarious, if Qwark is killed, Nefarious will yell, "No one kills Qwark but me!" Also, {{spoiler|Nefarious saves Qwark from being possessed by the [[Big Bad]] towards the end of the game.}}

* In ''[[Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One]]'' when you play as Qwark and Dr. Nefarious, if Qwark is killed, Nefarious will yell, "No one kills Qwark but me!" Also, {{spoiler|Nefarious saves Qwark from being possessed by the [[Big Bad]] towards the end of the game.}}
