It doesn't have to be just red and black as long as the two colors are a majority
- Akuma (Street Fighter)
- Clive Rosfield (Final Fantasy 16)
- Anna Williams (Tekken)
- Cipher (Ace Combat Zero): Demon Lord of the Round Table
- Vergil (Devil May Cry): The Alpha and the Omega
- Alucard (Hellsing): The Bird of Hermes
Self-explanatory, not gonna elaborate on it
- "Stop that blade!" (Metal Gear Rising): Rising has a bunch of moments like that, but this one has to be the most iconic, especially with the lyrics to Rules of Nature kicking in (Here's the moment)
- Arsenal Bird's forcefield going down (Ace Combat 7): Man, I love Ace Combat I don't have the exact picture of this moment but whatever, it is always synced with the chorus in the drop to Daredevil kicking in (The moment in question)
Yeah, non-american patriots
- Lidia Sobieska (Tekken): Probably the single most Polish character in fiction that wasn't created by a Polish person, she quite literally wears a Poland-themed karate gi in Tekken 8
- Zangief (Street Fighter): Canonically very patriotic when it comes to his Motherland
- Vernon Roche (The Witcher): He'll do everything for Temeria, even whore himself out
I genuinely couldn't think of more examples than the two I'm gonna provide so feel free to prove me wrong
- Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades (Castlevania): Probably the healthiest relationship I saw in animation history
- Geralt and Yennefer (The Witcher): I do not want to see any Triss supporters here, she manipulated Geralt when he was amnesiac and Yen is pretty much Ciri's mother figure so Yen is the optimal pick for Geralt
Most of the times for some reason (speaking from personal experience so it may not be for everyone) I see characters be called one-man armies for being able to kill a group of enemies while being alone, which is still cool but not satisfying enough
I however like it even more when the so-called One-Man Army goes face-to-face against actual soldiers, whether it's a paramilitary or actual national army or literally any massive number of enemies at once
- Madara Uchiha (Naruto): He went against the entire Shinobi Alliance and managed to defeat them, leaving pretty much just the heavy hitters to be able to fight
- V (Cyberpunk 2077): My most favourite example of V going up against an army has to be "The Killing Moon" in Phantom Liberty where he goes up against NUSA Spec Ops in the Morro Rock Space Port
- William J. Blazkowicz (Wolfenstein): He's pretty much going up against sci-fi version of Nazi Army and succeeding in killing them
- Doomslayer (Doom): I say that the Demons count as an actual army due to their sheer numbers and the fact quite a few of them use weapons themselves
- Aurore Cassel (Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty)
- Akuma (Street Fighter)
I already did that post before, but I decided to remaster it because why not
I'm also including links to the songs
Repost because I forgot a pic for Lucy
- Alucard (Hellsing): Dragula (Rob Zombie)
- Seras Victoria (Hellsing): Living Dead Girl (Rob Zombie)
- David Martinez (Edgerunners): Who's Ready For Tomorrow (RAT BOY)
- Lucy (Edgerunners): I Really Want To Stay At Your House (Rosa Walton)
- Maine (Edgerunners): Żurawie (Ugory)
- Rebecca (Edgerunners): Crustpunk (RAT BOY)
- Ryu Ishigori (Jujutsu Kaisen): Hello Juliet (Clarion)
- Naoya Zenin (Jujutsu Kaisen): Bubble Pop Electric (Gwen Stefani)
- Venom Snake (Metal Gear): Invisible (Duran Duran)
- HUNK (Resident Evil): On My Way To Hell (Połoz)
- Son Goku (Dragon Ball): Bring Me To Life (Evanescence)
- Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost In The Shell): Gate K9 (P.T. Adamczyk)
Just an idea I thought of
- Toge Inumaki (Jujutsu Kaisen): While he can speak normally, he chooses not to because of his Cursed Speech and instead uses a limited vocabulary consisting of rice ball ingredients
- The Wrestler (Rhythm Heaven): He only says "Ye" to each of the reporter's questions (Pretty mundane pick I know)
- Nemesis (Resident Evil): STAAAAAAAARS
Making a sequel with the opposite premise
- Johnny Silverhand (Cyberpunk)
- Heihachi Mishima (Tekken)
- Juri Han (Street Fighter)
- Grace Ashcroft (Resident Evil)
- Hugh Williams (Pragmata)
- Doomslayer (Doom)
Just Snakes, nothing else
- Snake Plissken (Escape Ftom New York): The OG
- Solid Snake (Metal Gear): The GOAT
- Liquid Snake (Metal Gear): The inferior one
- Solidus Snake (Metal Gear): "No! That is NOT Solid Snake!"
- Naked Snake (Metal Gear): Aka Big Boss
- Venom Snake (Metal Gear): The Copycat
Yes, either one banger or multiple bangers
Edit: Added links to the songs
Essentially just characters with chainsaws as primary weapons
- Ash Williams (Evil Dead): Groovy
- Denji (Chainsaw Man): Idea for my title
- Alisa Bosconovich (Tekken): This cutie patootie can release chainsaws from her wrists and demolish you with them
- Aurore Cassel (Cyberpunk 2077)
- Victor Chevalier (Tekken)
- Pip Bernadotte (Hellsing)
It can be either through equipment or through their powers
- Reze (Chainsaw Man): She's the Bomb Devil
- Demoman (Team Fortress 2): "Oh, they're gonna have to glue you back together... IN HELL!"
- Yoshikage Kira (JJBA: Diamond is Unbreakable): Pretty ironic that someone who wants to live a quiet life has a stand with a power to turn anything it touches into bombs
- Bambietta Basterbine (Bleach): Her Schrift is literally named The Explode
- Jonathan Joestar (JJBA)
- Seras Victoria (Hellsing)
- Sir Integra Hellsing (Hellsing)
Essentially just a strong badass who's working for some sort of organization, corporation, terrorist group, all that shit
Bonus points if the said soldier is actually competent instead of being all bark
- HUNK (Resident Evil): Probably the single most competent soldier that Umbrella Corporation had in their ranks
- Adam Smasher (Cyberpunk): Literally a Night City legend whose reputation doesn't come from nowhere
Essentially a character with little to no info about them (who they are, what they do, etc.)
Bonus points if they interact with the protagonist in some way
- G-Man (Half-Life): Probably the poster child of this trope
- W. D. Gaster (Undertale/Deltarune): We still don't really know that much about him either
- Mr. Blue Eyes (Cyberpunk 2077): He only shows up during the Dream On mission and Phantom Liberty DLC
Nothing to elaborate on
- Isshin Kurosaki (Bleach): This man raised an angsty teenager and two little girls all by himself after his wife died
- Hugh Williams (Pragmata): The language of the caption in the photo is Polish in case anyone asks
- Sam Porter Bridges (Death Stranding): Second time in a row adding him
- Gloria Martinez (Cyberpunk Edgerunners): Too bad she passed away early
- Grace Ashcroft (Resident Evil): She also adopts Emily in the end so that's neat
