* Sakai Yuuji of ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]''. The [[MacGuffin|Reiji Maigo]] is the only reason he even gets to remain in the world, and he tends to hide behind his semi-protective [[Hot Chick with a Sword|flaming swordswoman]] when push comes to shove. {{spoiler|Except in the last two arcs of the second season. And VERY MUCH not so for the third season.}}
* Hiro Hiyorimi of ''[[Princess Resurrection]]'' - much more so in the anime version, where he's generally completely incapacitated while Hime and the others take down the [[Monster of the Week]].
* Yukiteru of ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'' frequently slipped into this, often sitting back and letting [[:Category:Yandere|Yuno]] or someone else (like [[Ho Yay|Akise]]) solve his problems for him for entire arcs at a time. {{spoiler|He got better once he was [[Break the Cutie|broken]] and subsequently [[Took a Level in Badass]].}}
* [[Defied Trope|Defied]] in ''[[Fate/stay night]]'', where Shirou constantly tries to be important to combat even though [[King Arthur|Saber]] is clearly far stronger. {{spoiler|He eventually succeeds, and in one timeline becomes [[Future Badass|Archer]].}}
* The kids in ''[[Final Fantasy Unlimited]]''.
