History Main / BodycountCompetition

** ''Manga/GundamTheOrigin'' has a scene just before the Battle of Loum where Char suggests that he and the Black Tri-Stars settle their rivalry through such a contest: who can shoot down more Federation battleships? The Black Tri-Stars like the idea and begin discussing who among the four has the best chance... before Char clarifies that he meant a contest between him and ALL THREE of the Tri-Stars combined. (Char won.)

* He's not competing with anyone, but Amuro Rei of ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' has a habit of counting how many enemies he's downed in a battle.

* ''Overwatch'' has this dialogue when Torbjorn and Reinhardt are on the same team:

'''Reinhardt:''' Hahaha...Let's show these kids how it's done.\\
* TheEndTimesVermintide is a co-op game where a group of heroes fight against a horde of ratmen in the Warhammer world. One proposes a contest; whoever collects the most rat tails wins. Another character shoots him down on account of how disgusting that would get.

-->'''Gimli:''' Legolas! Two already!\\
'''Legolas:''' I'm on seventeen!\\
'''Gimli:''' Argh! I'll have no pointy-ear outscoring me! ''(kills Uruk-Hai berserker)''\\
'''Legolas:'''''(shoots two Uruk-Hai as they come over the battlement)'' Nineteen!\\
''(later in the battle, Gimli stands between two siege ladders and kills an Uruk when it reaches the top, then kills one on the other ladder. As the camera pans away, his cries echoing throughout the battlefield...)''\\
'''Gimli:''' ...Seventeen! Eighteen! Nineteen! Twenty! Twenty-one, twenty-two, and twenty-three!...\\
''(and finally, in the Extended Edition, after the battle)''\\
'''Legolas:''' Final Count: forty-two.\\
'''Gimli:''' ''(chuckles)''Forty-two? Oh that's not bad for a pointy-eared Elvish princeling. I myself am sitting pretty on forty-'''three'''.\\
'''Legolas:''' ''(shoots an Uruk-Hai beneath Gimli)'' Forty-three\\
'''Gimli:''' He was already dead!\\
'''Legolas:''' He was twitching.\\
'''Gimli:''' He was twitching... ''because he's got my axe embedded in his nervous system!'' ''(shakes axe; Uruk twitches violently)''
** Return of the King concludes the gag; after Legolas single-handedly killed a rampaging 60-feet-tall Oliphant, and all its riders, an irate Gimli declares, "That still only counts as ''one''!"

'''Comicbook/{{Nightwing}:''' ''*whispering*'' Robin! Keep it down. We’re the stealth team–remember? You want to make noise, go up front with the “S” squad.

* In an episode of ''Manga/NurarihyonNoMago'', Aotabou and Kurotabou do this.

* In ''Manga/BlackLagoon'', Chaka tries a variant by bragging about his [[SarcasmMode impressive total body-count of 10]][[note]]Revy had 13 confirmed onscreen kills ON EPISODE 1[[/note]] to lure Revy in a gunfight. EPIC FAIL!

** Ironically, Simo was not actually an example of this trope, despite his high body count, for two reasons: first, [[ArtisticLicenseMilitary he was technically an infantryman, later an officer, rather than a dedicated sniper]] (albeit he ''was'' a supremely skilled marksman) and thus didn't take kill notes; second, he was primarily serving out of a sense of duty and [[OfficerAndAGentleman found the idea of counting kills repulsive]].

** RoguesGallery villains the Trigger Twins liked to have little contests like this, though in one case where there were only two men, each killed by a different Trigger, Tom insisted that "Mine hit the ground first," and Tad answered "Mine was taller." This is in reference to the John Wayne film ''The War Wagon''.

** A variant of Strange called [=StatTrak=] (Based on the same feature in VideoGame/CounterStrike Global Offensive) was later added, which actually has a visible counter on the weapon in game.

* In ''ComicBook/XWingSeries X-Wing: Rogue Squadron]]'', naturally the fighter pilot protagonists compete over kills. [[TheLeader Wedge Antilles]] has already racked up a ludicrous kill count before the story even starts, to the point that his fighter is painted with kill silhouettes representing ''12 squadrons each'' instead of the usual one silhouette for one kill because the support staff ran out of room on the side of his X-wing. The rest of the newly-reconstituted Rogue Squadron are fresh recruits to New Republic Starfighter Command and compete among each other for the unofficial title of "best ''new'' pilot" since trying to catch up with Wedge would be futile; though some of them have piloting experience outside the military (one as a [[SpacePolice space cop]], two as {{bounty hunter}}s, one as a Rebel-affiliated mercenary), only kills as Rogue Squadron members are counted for the competition. The top scores at the end of the book are 22 kills for Bror Jace and 21 for protagonist Corran Horn.
