Unskilled but Strong: Difference between revisions

** Kintarou Tooyama happens to be both this trope ''and'' [[Skilled but Naive]]. He's got raw talent and physical strength by the wazoo, but is also a [[Wild Child]] and the poster child for [[Idiot Hero]].

** Kaidoh Kaoru fits to a lesser extent. While he is a strong tennis player, most of his techniques merely revolve around variations of his signature technique "Snake" (until the nationals arc, he possessed only two; the rest were developed through Inui's guidance). However, [[Determinator|he is extremely tenacious]], able to hold his own against the much more skilled and violent Kirihara.

* Jin of ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'' considers Mugen to be this. But [[Samurai|Jin]] does have [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|that kind of relationship]] with Mugen. It does bite him in the ass against [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Hand of God]] [[Big Bad|Kiriya]] though.

* ''[[Ikki Tousen]]'s'' Hakufu Sonsaku is considered to be the worst fighter of Kanto. Despite that, she's also the strongest of the fighters and has rarely ever been defeated. She's even the leader of Nanyo Academy.

* Munakata Kei from ''[[Medaka Box]]'' possesses a [[Hyperspace Arsenal]] of a whole variety of weapons(katana, grenades, guns, hammers). However, he lacks any actual skill at handling his weapons, and tosses aside any that don't finish the job. Zenkichi manages to counter almost all his weapons because of this, though is severely tired by the process.

* Rin, from ''[[Blue Exorcist]]'' episode three onwards, can sling around some pretty impressive pyrotechnics. However, later in the series, he is given a training exercise where he has to light two candles while missing a third and ends up repeatedly torching all three, to his growing frustration.

* In ''[[High School DxD]]'', once Issei becomes a lot stronger than before, he gets hit with this trope seeing as his strength is pretty much him being able to dish out a lot of damage to his opponents. However, he notes that if he can't even hit them then what's the point.

* [[Lampshaded]] in ''[[Sora no Otoshimono]]''. Astraea is physically the strongest of the Angeloids, but she's a complete [[Baka|idiot]]. While this prevents her from using her strength to its full potential, {{spoiler|Daedalus}} points out that "The reason I didn't give her any processing power...is because she doesn't need any."
