Name a better trope. Pro tip: you can't
The big bad of the arc is defeated by a supporting character
Nathaniel Lopez
Ayden Butler
>the built-up big bad curbstomps the MC
Nolan Ward
>the MC is (one of) the weakest in the group
Parker Torres
Stone Ocean in a nutshell
Jacob Martinez
>mc lets villain go after a smackdown and realizing he isn't as bad as he's made out to be
Oliver Fisher
>the mangaka ruins the best character by doing something retarded
What is heavy weather
David Torres
>the bad guys team up to defeat the mc
Daniel Reyes
>the "villain" overcomes the overwhelming powers of friendship, justice, and plot armor all alone
Dominic Johnson
>have the villain want to change the world for the better
>make him do dumb evil shit just so you justify having the hero who had no agency win
Fuck status quo and fuck hacks
James Wood
>The bad guy like it really rough guy chest always so puffed guy is actually a tough guy
Bentley Sanders
The MC struggles to beat the big bad but is then joined by his friends.
It's so cheap yet it gets me every time.
Jace Jenkins
>Villain uses the power of friendship
Gavin Stewart
What really bugs me about the heavy wheater thing is that the same amount of urgence/danger could've been acomplished with weather's base habilities, that's how broken he is.
Why the fuck would araki just asspull a retarded nothing to do with the stand hability out of nowhere for absolutely no reason.
Its almost like Weather was made for suffering.
Joshua Johnson
>MHA
fuck off
Wyatt Green
He could do that in his base form but in a very short range, so he'd need to get close
Oliver Cox
>triggered over a small contribution
Seek help.
Jace Smith
In HxH case it makes sense. Pitou has been set up by the narrative as MC's: Gon's enemy, Meruem was the strongest ant and their king but he was not the big bad of the arc, Pouf was. Meruem and Gon never even interacted with each other.
Dominic Cox
I hated this fight because it's basically natural talent/genetics vs hard work/training and the latter gets stomped
John Richardson
>the big bad and MC used to be best buddies and refuse to fight each other
Very nice
Gabriel Torres
>villain is never surpassed
>villain did it all for love
Xavier Lee
Name one
Caleb Richardson
>The big bad of the arc is defeated by a supporting character
In extreme case:
>Some random jobbers kills the villainous mastermind while he is monologing.
What's the most surprising, unexpected example of this?
Noah Ortiz
It's pretty much the same level as HxH though
>Dude what if like, Humans are the REAL monsters man
Wyatt Brooks
Jonathan Stewart
>the declared "strongest" in the story fights another strong character who came out of nowhere
>the "strongest" lost
Gabriel Diaz
Netero’s death scene was so fucking badass, god damn
Connor Murphy
Just like real life
Michael Lee
Only brainlets consider that the take-away from chimera ant.
>TV tropes
Fuck off
Ryan Price
>The big bad of the arc is defeated by a team of scientists
I like how Meruem was defeated by technology as Netero talks about humanity's endless capacity for evolution.
Ayden Cook
whatever makes you sleep at night my man
James Jackson
William Gomez
>weak supporting character wrecks the antagonist when he's distracted
>later in life after becoming stronger he wrecks him again in a fair fight so hard it cripples him
Robert Rivera
>deux ex machina your mc with help of a tranny
Hudson Rivera
>genetics win over hard work.
Brody Jones
The Big Bad gets defeated by the actual protagonist.
