Most Triumphant Example (Sugar Wiki)/C
This is simply what you think is the (not some of the, the) best example of any trope (an objective trope, not subjective, since this already is subjective). The "Crowning Example" if you will.
There could be several reasons you think an example is the best.
- You thinks it's the best in terms of illustrating the trope.
- You think it's the most well done.
- It's your favorite play in that trope.
- You just really like the source material.
Oh, and each troper gets one example per trope, no more. Also, don't go "no, this is," or phrases like that. This is about our own personal favorites.
Please list tropes alphabetically.

- King Shapur II of the Sassanid Empire was crowned in utero—in other words, his coronation ceremony was held while his mother was still pregnant with him, the crown placed on her belly.

- Curtis Blackburn for video games.

- Crack Pairing
- AizenxTeacup-Totally Canon!
- The entire Naruto fanbase
- The entire Digimon fanbase, for coming up with them, and often executing them so well. Give us a chance and we'll convince you that teenager/talking seal with fish minions makes perfect sense.

- in Bleach there are actually Captain KenpaChi X Unohana pairings. Opposites Attract taken Up to Eleven
- Yu-Gi-Oh! just look at the Shipper's list! If you can think it, there's at least one, if not a gazillion, of it. One of the most popular, Bronzeshipping is Yami Marik x Marik who are the same person

- The world of Pokemon. A wonderful happy place filled with Apocalyptic monsters that could destory half a continent when enraged, reality warpers who have the power to destroy existence, criminals and Pokemon Mafia who kidnap and abuse Pokemon as well as terrorise citizens, and extremists whose dastardly schemes threaten to destroy the world on a regular basis. Surely Pokemon is too sweet and cuddly for this trope?
- And then it got worse. Seconded!
- Yggdra Union. War, classism, betrayal and genocide with candy colors and adorable little faces.

- Jade Sinclair of the Whateley Universe
- Light and Dark The Adventures of Dark Yagami, for using this trope to make itself both So Bad It's Good and So Cool Its Awesome at the same time. People write with nuclear bombs, L threatened to shoot God in the face, (Which actually scared him.) and Near and Dark have a car chase with cars so fast they set the road on fire.
- Anghel Higure. You wanted the mad love of a (self-styled) fallen angel? You got it! And his is the only route in which the Big Bad can actually be defeated, by hallucinating the both of you into a turn-based JRPG battle against an Eldritch Abomination.

- Dudley, he of the "Let's fight... like gentlemen". He is so refined and gentle that he drinks tea and grooms himself with his boxing gloves on. Did I mention that he was given the honorary title of "Sir" by the Queen? If you impress him, he'll buy you a drink, so he definitely knows how to keep it classy.
- Paladin. His class, style, tastes all add up to this trope. A fan and expert on the theater, opera, ballet, classical music, and literature(effortlessly quoting situation-appropriete literature off the top of his head), well educated, and being able to hold his own in a four on one brawl and outshoot pretty much anyone he's up against easily qualify him for both the cultured, and the badass.
