* In ''[[Bleach]]'', Ichigo has badge that can, among other things, detach his soul from his body.

== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Earthbound]]'' (and the other [[Mother (Video Game)|Mother]] games), one of the earliest really useful special items you get is the [[Benjamin Franklin|Franklin]] Badge, which reflects electrical attacks.
* In ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics Advance]]'', certain characters wear a ribbon (the military style, with a badge) that makes them exempt from all laws.
* In the ''[[Mario]]'' RPGs, badges affect stats and sometimes have more interesting effects.
* ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' is built around this trope; every "player" in the "game" the protagonists are trapped in ({{spoiler|at which they're actually dead, and are playing for a chance to come back to life, at the risk of becoming [[Deader Than Dead]]}}) gains [[Psychic Powers]] from one. Neku, the [[Player Character]], is unique in that he can use more than one (thus he can use pins in a [[Powers Asas Programs]] style). Oh, and the [[Big Bad]]'s [[Evil Plan]] is {{spoiler|to use modified pins to wire everyone up to a [[Hive Mind]]. Neku's power makes him the best hope the [[Mysterious Backer]] has of countering it.}}
* In ''[[Pokémon]]'', badges obtained by defeating gym leaders have special effects.
* Many of the trinkets in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' fall into this category, although it's hard to tell with some of them because their names are so vague.
