Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls]]'' has a brutal and ''bloody'' subversion. [[Master of Disguise|Saemon Kisaragi]] of the Koga Ten says it's not in him to hit or kill women... {{spoiler|right after he kills [[Woman Scorned|Hotarubi]] of the Iga Ten by ''cutting off both of her hands and stabbing her in the chest, then letting her fall down a cliff''}}.

** In fact, out of all the Basilisk girls, only ''two'' aren't horribly killed by male fighters in the middle of the bloody feud between Igas and Kogas. One is killed by a fellow [[Action Girl]], and the other is [[Driven to Suicide]].

* ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'' The Deimon Devil Bats go up against the Teikoku Alexanders, whose quarterback is female. Hiruma senses misplaced chivalrous intent in his team and cuts the problem off at the knees by making up a story to them about Karin, the female quarterback—her name's really Karinrou and she's a man, so you'd better go all out on her. It works.

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' has a rather curious variation where the one refusing to duel against [[The Chick|Asuka]] [[Hello, Nurse!|Tenjouin]] was... ''another woman''. Sure, Taniya is a [[Amazonian Beauty|buff]] and scarred [[Hot Amazon]], but she still doesn't duel against other women - primarily since [[The Red Sonja|she was dueling in part to find a husband]]. When Taniya activates a card that causes images of the duelists to strike each other, Jaden thought he'd fight her for real and tried to invoke the trope, which she thankfully didn't take as an insult.
