Most Triumphant Example (Sugar Wiki)/F

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.

    • On This Very Wiki, more or less.
  • Avatar: The Last Airbender. We have a team of children fighting an army, the forces of good and evil battling for the fate of the world--but who cares about that? Who's snogging who??
  • Real Life. Where do we even START? - Malkyrian
  • Kingdom Hearts Organization XIII fangirls in particular
  • Naruto. Shipping. That is all. - Beta Maxis
  • Fallout. No Mutants Allowed, full stop. (Also a very strong contender for They Changed It, Now It Sucks.) - Technogeek

  • The Minecraft "fans" who CRASHED THE SERVER because updates were going to be slow that month.
  • Doctor Who. Towards ANY Doctor or producer.
  • Zero Punctuation. I've never played the game and I sure don't plan on it now, but that review was dead on as always, Yahtzee! Thanks for saving me the effort of forming my own opinion!
  • Final Fantasy. When it comes to the games, it's at the point where it's difficult to tell the difference between a legit criticism, and hate fueled by the Nostalgia Filter.
  • Even the author admits that Harry/Hermione shippers are "delusional".
  • Pixar. OMG Cars 2 had a couple of moments that didn't make me cry as hard as Toy Story 3! Pixar has become DreamWorks and is Ruined FOREVER!
  • Detroit Metal City's fans are an in-universe example.
  • Most of Spoony's fans.
  • The more vocal parts of the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom.

  • Gurren Lagann. It's especially noticable on this wiki.
  • Haruhi Suzumiya
  • Arrested Development, oh yes, I went there.
• Fan Nickname
  • Nanoha. "The White Devil". That particular nickname has become so ingrained into the fandom that one sometimes has to remind oneself that it isn't canon.
  • About half the characters in Bleach. Mostly for the captains, though. And many of them are hilarious.
    • Seconded
  • Claymore "Noodles", the loli of the west.
• Fanon
  • Vocaloid. With just voices, dozens of characters and zero canon, it lives off of and defines fanon.

• Fan Translation
  • Mother 3.
• Fantasy Kitchen Sink
  • Mahou Sensei Negima: Magic, Kung Fu, Ninja, Demons (and half demons), Dragons, vampires, Humongous Mecha, Samurai, Time Travel, Anti-Magic, Art Initiates Life, Telepathy, Snipers, Magitek...we could go on for hours.
    • I'd like to add that Setsuna is a half demon ki powered swordsman lesbian schoolgirl bodyguard with telekinetic knives and wears a maid outfit and cat ears at one point. Not That There's Anything Wrong with That.
  • Touhou: The land of Gensokyo, where if people believe it doesn't exist anymore here, it does there.
  • Pick any book in The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. For a start, there's Roman, Celtic, Nordic and Egyptian mythology, vampires, werewolves (and other were-clans), dragons, alchemy... You name it, it's probably there.

  • King's Quest
  • DC Comics
  • Shin Megami Tensei. Good lord, Shin Megami Tensei.
• Fashion Victim Villain

• Fate Worse Than Death
  • The Dementor's Kiss. Any objections?
  • The Wicker Man. The original, of course.
• A Father to His Men
  • Sergeant Kal Skirata in (Darth) Karen Traviss' Republic Commando books. Many of the character frequently refer to him as Buir: Mando'a for "mother/father/parent."
  • Cmdr. (later Admiral) Bill Adama. If adult adoption were legal, everyone would be an Adama.
  • Zachary Foxx - show this trope to a Galaxy Rangers fan and watch them start snickering. He's the most blatant about it to the youngest two Rangers (Niko and Shane) who don't have parents.
  • Whitebeard
  • Sgt. Jackrum of Monstrous Regiment, even he's really a mother to his women
• Faux Action Girl
  • Most all of the female cast in Naruto.

  • The Bleach anime
  • The Dragonball Z anime. That's why Kai exists.
  • Inuyasha
  • The Pokémon anime.
  • The D.Gray-man anime. Over half of the first 50 episodes are filler.
• Film the Hand
  • Bart in The Simpsons episode "Bart the Gangster".
• Final Speech
  • Eternal Sonata, when Claves dies... I mean, it only takes about ten minutes before she finally kicks it.
  • Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots can one-up that: Big Boss gives a twenty minute long speech after being infected with a virus that's supposed to kill with a heart attack instantly.
    • Sniper Wolf from the first Metal Gear Solid wins the Final Speech prize for delivering said speech immediately after specifically telling you she was shot in the lung.
  • The Wicker Man
  • Lordgenome tops both of the above MGS examples by delivering a warning speech with a 1-foot wide hole in his chest.

  • Yusuke. It's a literal, finger gun.
• Fingerless Gloves
  • The taser-gloves used by the Major and Togusa in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

  • "You're the entertainer" He said in the same way someone would say "You're a motherless piece of scum and you raped my dog" "Felix Castor" I agreed, completely deadpan "I roll the blues away"
  • Seeing as the first one listed here is a tie, this one will be for Kyon only.
