Jogo is such a funnily tragic character to me. He's a special grade cursed spirit literally born of humanity's fear and negative association with volcanoes and other fire-related natural disasters.

I think one of my favorite tropes is when a very strong character that the story makes clear is very strong even though we haven't seen them fight yet finally gets a chance to show why they are so strong in a on-screen fight.

Villain beef is just so good man. Its because you don't have to deal with the shit in the back of your mind of the main character surviving anyways because the story has to go on.

[@Krane5328]

My favorite troupe is an anti-trope when basically in a media there is an established bunch of tropes and then theres a character or thing that completely shales all those tropes up with either a whole different set of tropes or an awareness of the tropes Imagine there's this super powerful magic guy and then there's this sci-fi fighting machine and there's just an insane contrast

[@enumaelish9193]

The manhwa The Knight King Who Returned with A God has this. The setting of the world is that Earth has become linked with various fantasy worlds with orcs, dragons and demons and humans cross through the portals to defeat them before they invade. At one point they cross over into a super advanced civilization where instead of fighting the usual they come across a super advanced enemy mech called JAGD Spinner whose last command was to defend the now fallen civilization. Also check out Versus by Yusuke Murata, the whole manga is built on this anti trope.

I wrote Something like that, the dude is an anti Gary stu, basically he is like every Gary stu but when you think he won something easily by his talent an extremely harder challenge just appears to make him fail miserably and make him actually struggle at the point of fighting for his life and find deeper meaning in his character In said situations

[@ZaviahNorwood]

Anti tropes my beloved, love it when something in a story purposefully defies a media trope just to make a point (usually about how strong a particular character is but still.)

[@aaravmaharjan3044]

My favorite trope is simple, It’s just the Died Standing trope. The badasseey required for this is immeasurable.

[@muazadam983]

I even like it when someone unrelated to the plot rolls in makes a MASSIVE presence either as an unknown ally or a future antagonist more threatening than the first

[@plaguelord22]

What I personally love about villain vs villain fights is the fact that, unless you definitively know someone is the main antagonist, fights can mostly seem like they can do either way If you have the main antagonist or the main protagonist fighting someone, you can generally assume that they’ll win due to just basic plot structure But when a side character fights another side character, that’s when it gets spicy

[@lordrandom1631]

[@notoriousyolkhound4600]

Anti-Heroes vs Anti-Villains is a unique idea that I wish I saw more in media

[@vincentshadetree]

I remember the first time watching The Exorcist and the line "Evil versus evil." Was really powerful of an idea. There's a level of depravity that you will be shocked by in watching two or more people that just don't care about anything, is pretty wild, so yeah definitely a popular trope

[@jacketuniverse3986]

Why yes seeing them fight is cool, but what I'm really into is the interaction. Like how'd they introduce themselves into each other? How do they view each other?, Just seeing two villains that the heroes had a hard time defeating in the same room talking gets me excited more than the fights.

Ohh I swear when I clicked the video I thought "It cant be about Villain Vs Villain, but would be awesome if it was" and then!... Ive been praising this trope for ages since I watched Sasuke's arc and that Zoldycks vs Chrollo fight in the classic HxH. It can give so much personality and ambition to the villains but I think it still is underused in media.

[@Agent-57]

Not just in anime, in fiction. This trope is really great because makes the villain special. It can be used to show a villain's growth while allowing you to root for them. Like Shigaraki vs Redestro where we see the man child from S1 grow into a nuclear threat. Or reestablish how goated the long time villain is. Like Megatron vs Insecticon or Megatron vs D-void. Because Megatron is a long time villain and rarely has W's again Prime, him going up against other villains in the story to show that he is still the biggest threat in the story while you get to root for the Gladiator of kaon is truly badass Or in rare cases, known the villain down a few pegs. Like Homelander vs Soldier boy. After watching Homelander dominate encounters for 2 seasons straight, seeing him on the back foot scared for his life was great.

[@josephhalbohn8100]

Sukuna is great because he’s literally the only person in JJK having fun. Besides the other goat, Takaba, of course.

[@theultimategodofgaming3200]

Villain fights never need to hold back, it's awesome. One of my favorite battle shonen tropes is the near-death revelation. JJK excels at this too. I loved Megumi's one especially.

[@tyforestreacts]

Literally one of my favorite tropes. My first experience with it was, oddly enough, Yu-Gi-Oh! I could watch Yugi/Yami battle his opponents all day with a straight face, but the moment Bakura and Yami Marik faced off, I was on the edge of my seat.

[@pondypoo]

[@dopemanlegaress3277]

°My Favourite Trope Is When The Main Character Gains Recognition In Their World

[@n0b1rium23]

I love a particular version of this, which makes things so interesting and that's the "chaotic 3rd party". Best examples are Vegeta on Namek, who does his own thing making the cat and mouse game between Frieza and the Good guys that much more fun. Another example is Hisoka on Yorknew City arc.

[@gannonruby1119]

My favorite is people who can switch places with people like sasuke, law, and todo. If there’s any others I would love if someone told me

[@matiasaguilar2500]

I like it because as villains, we are interested on them losing or getting in a disadvantage, but since both fighters are villains we are conflicted, like who between these two assholes deserves to lose more? That's the fun of it. And also, the heroes can only benefit from the result of the foght, so we get to enjoy action while our heroes are safe

[@Thememe-h8f]

My favorite troupe gotta be when the laid back and goofy character just turns out to be op but just doesnt feel like fighting.

[@danieldorvil7683]

Part 2 my guy. You could lokey make this a series: Villains against Villains

[@jmass4207]

Eh whoever the story invest more into and you empathize with will be the protagonists even if they’re not good guys. You can spend equal time across multiple sides of evil/grey factions like game of thrones but it has to be really well done and it still ends up nihilistic. And that doesn’t capture the spirit of true villains facing off.

[@Biodebatable]

[@shaun4229]

[@dadcomeback1470]

Personally my favourite trope is the good guy mc who doesn't belive in the talk no jutsu bs and just ends the villain it's one of the reasons I like frieren so much no bs just straight death to the enemy

[@ganbarazan]

This reminds me of Yu-Gi-Oh and how my all-time favorite duels were ones between villains (or antagonists) because there’s no plot armor, and they dished out as well as they could give because most of them didn’t have something like morality holding them back. Marik vs Bakura in the original series, Sora vs Shun in Arc-V, and Lightning vs Spectre in Vrains are all so memorable because of that.

[@InMasoWeTrust]

Honestly gege didn’t cook nearly as hard as MAPPA did sukuna vs mahoraga is like 5 pages in the manga and jogo vs sukuna was enhanced as well with extra scenes

[@Thelonebear]

man your so right this has been similar for me since my childhood

[@hoangquanle3310]

Villains throwing it down always hits.

[@gus9797]

My favorite trope is that character that is technically on the same level as everyone else (same powers / same kinds of powers) but they're so good that it's impossible to imagine them losing until they do. Ie, Jiren from Dragon Ball, Yujiro Hanma from Baki, The Ghoul from Fallout, Fuhrer Bradley from Fullmetal Alchemist, Tomura Shigaraki from My Hero Academia, Darth Vader from Star Wars, Madara from Naruto etc.

[@cyruahawkins5289]

I’d like to note, Sukuna literally told jogo, “if you can hit me, I’ll go along with your plans and you can be my boss” basically. And if you know how strong Jogo is that doesn’t even begin to make sense.

[@justanunluckyirishmaninabl5178]

Not really an anime, but Star Wars the Clone Wars series has several instances of this trope. Chief among them was when Darth Sidious pulled up on Mandalore and had a 2v1 fade against Maul and Savage. The brothers' little criminal regime wasn't affiliated with the Separatist or Republic factions, they weren't in the know about Palpatine's proxy war takeover scheme either. Old man was chuckling throughout the fight, didn't even perceive them as a real threat. He literally showed up and mopped the floor with them both for no reason other than because he could(and the Sith's rule of two).

[@Krab17]

For the plot's sake, either villain could easily win and it wouldn't destroy the plot because the hero must have a villain. You basically get rid of plot armor and give the winner and loser a chance to grow stronger which then means the hero gets weaker as everyone else grows. At the same time it gives character development for both villains.

You are gonna DIE when the monster association ARC of OPM gets to full swing. (And so will the animators the stuff Murata made was not intended to be animated by mortal hands) Edit2: I think it adds to the fight that having 2 villains you actually dont know whos gonna win as the story can go on without either or both and that raises the stakes, they can also be straight up DEVIOUS in their attacks/moves and its ok cause they are the bad guys they dont need to be nice about it. My favorite trope funnily enough is probably "Old Guy thats more powerful than the protagonist so the villain has to cheat against him" I like it when the protagonist is super strong... But this one guy who actually has been in the business is stronger and more experience, I feel like it grounds the story somehow, it reinforces the whole idea that the protagonist put in the work to get strong so this guys who has done it for longer has it even more: Yamamoto from Bleach held that spot until he died and Beerus from Dragon Ball super does it for me. Edit: I also really like Gojo for this reason, hes on the younger side but technically hes the mentor not the protagonist, so this whole "Why doesnt the teacher do it?" And then Gojo shows up and does it and the villains whole deal is dealing with him while the protagonist rises beyond the villains expectation

I'd say my favorite trope is playing into a trope, and then subverting it. Example, when Renji and Ichigo attack Aizen in the Soul Society arc, they plan their attack, Ichigo's theme swells and he charges in. You think "oh yeah here we fuckin go" only for Aizen to stop his attack with ease, the music cuts (and never plays again), and Ichigo almost dies instantly. The use of tropes to make our minds go to the right when the writers are about to go left always mezmerizes me.
