Villainous Valour: Difference between revisions

* In the early engagements against the Combat Cyborgs in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS]]'', we're presented with a small group of specialists carrying out a daring mission against a whole world full of mages led by a pair of warriors who could mop the floor with them in a straight fight. (The Numbers who can stand up to Fate and Nanoha are introduced later.) Nevertheless, through a series of hair-raising encounters and desperate escapes, they finally win through and make off with the [[MacGuffin]]'s box.

** Mitigated by the fact that they are backed up by a very literal army of robotic drones armed with state-of-the-art antimagic technology and show no compunctions about being willing to open fire on an unarmed transport carrying, among other things, a helpless child; {{spoiler|later revelations about said child's nigh invulnerability notwithstanding.}}

** This is one of the lesser-observed common threads often found in ''Nanoha''. The Wolkenritter in ''A's'' start out stronger on an individual basis than the protagonists, but they're massively outnumbered and, by the middle of the series, outgunned as well. They still carry on their fight, though, until [[The Reveal]].

* This appears many times in the ''[[Gundam]]'' series. Of course, given the [[Gray and Gray Morality|nature of the universe]], it makes sense.
