The Witch Hunter: Difference between revisions

* Several associations in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' do this but given the rules of the setting, they are [[Talking the Monster to Death|Arguing The Witches To Death]] with logic-fueled swords and thanks to them [[Fair Play Whodunnit]]s exist. [[Mind Screw|Umineko is pretty weird]].

* Ahem. ''[[Witch Hunter]]'', a korean manhwa. People with special powers unite in a battle against… genuine witches.

 

== [[Comic Books]] ==

 

== [[Literature]] ==

* Played with in ''[[Good Omens]]''. While played straight in Agnes Nutter's case, Shadwell, a modern professional witch hunter, doesn't get much work these days.

* [[Solomon Kane]] is a quite unambiguously good case and likely the [[Trope Codifier]]. Even the slouch hat, worn by Kane, wound up on many characters who followed his legacy when [[Gorgeous Period Dress]] would be out of place.

* Both the Spook and the Quisitor in ''[[The Last Apprentice]]''. The major difference is that the Spook a) has some magical knowledge himself and b) cares whether the women accused of witchcraft are actually guilty.

 

* The Witchsmeller Pusuviant from ''[[The Black Adder]]''.

* The Witchfinder in ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]''. However, he {{spoiler|actually was fabricating all of his evidence.}}
