History Main / CombatSadomasochist

* Spike in {{BuffyTheVampireSlayer}} is an example of this trope. Although he doesn't take it over the top, he likes having Buffy beat him up, and one of his major complaints when he became an IntangibleMan was that he couldn't hit people. At one point, Angel was battling a necromancer while Spike tried to possess him, and when Spike finally won the battle for control, he kept fighting Angel a bit for this reason.

The Combat Sadomasochist [[CaptainObvious enjoys the pain from combat wounds, both their own and others']]. When cut, stabbed or shot, they will moan in ecstasy and lap up the blood. After harming an opponent, and especially when they take a life, the sensation and expression on their face will be orgasmic. Their battle style will usually be intense and [[DanceBattler dance-like]], and they usually eschew efficiently killing enemies in favor of doing so in the most painful way possible. If the Combat Sadomasochist wins the battle and there are enemy survivors [[{{understatement}} they won't]] receive the Geneva Convention treatment of [=POWs.=] If said survivors are languishing or in pain and ask for a merciful (or at least swift) death, they'll dawdle just a bit to make them squirm by sticking fingers in wounds or shooting/stabbing them some more.

They probably evolve from a thrill seeker who gets off on combat adrenaline, but usually also have or develop another fetish along with this. Naturally, these types tend to be TooKinkyToTorture; even if they ''do'' feel pain, they're too warped to register it as something bad. Nor do they fear death, since most perceive it as the ultimate rush. However, as extreme [[TheHedonist hedonists]], they can be intimidated with the threat of a long life of bland painlessness.

[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]

* Road Kamelot of DGrayMan is a sweet little girl who likes to play. Too bad for the heroes that her definition of 'play' involves blood, sadism and torture both physical and [[MindRape mental]]. She seems to enjoy the taste of blood, if her happily licking Allen's blood from a sharpened birthday candle is any indication. She also has no qualms with allowing herself to be [[HealingFactor temporarily mutilated]] by [[NotWhatItSoundsLike Innocence]], or even intentionally running herself through just to watch Allen's reaction.

* Fasalina form ''GunXSword'' [[OrgasmicCombat sounds like she's having an orgasm]] both when inflicting damage with her mech and when being attacked by someone elses.

* In ''DeadmanWonderland'' we have more than a couple of [[BloodKnight Blood Knights]], but there are few people who fits ''this'' trope.
** One is [[spoiler: Minatsuki]]. Well, at least before her fight with Ganta. Afterwards, she becomes a HeroicSociopath with a HairTriggerTemper that you only mess with if you have a death wish. ''Beforehand'' though... let's just say the words "violence", "blood", "injury", "turn on", and "orgasm" can be pieced together in a sentence to describe her quite accurately. Fortunately, You is her MoralityChain at the moment. Luckily.
** Also, we have Genkaku, who ''didn't'' get a HeelFaceTurn. Unlike [[spoiler: Minatsuki]] who [[ChaoticNeutral simply wanted to fight, not caring who, when, where or what]], Genkaku was pure ChaoticEvil, with ''his'' MoralityChain broken looong ago. Even taking into account that this is DeadmanWonderland, home of the DysfunctionJunction, Genkaku's past is [[DarkAndTroubledPast so completely and utterly fucked up]] (beaten to near death, raped repeatedly...), that you can consider his youth as one long line of BreakTheCutie moments. Of course, when that kitten died was when [[spoiler: [[BodyHorror he sculpted a Buddah statue out of the body parts of his tormentors]]]].

* Tyler Durden from {{Fight Club}} breaks into an orgasmic laughter while being bludgeoned by an angry bar owner, all the while refusing to fight back.

[[AC: {{Mythology}}]]
* In one version of ''JasonAndTheArgonauts'', they run into a tribe of savages devoted to Ares, who fight not so much to kill than to see the blood run.

[[AC:TabletopRPG]]
* Followers of Slaanesh, in ''Warhammer'' and ''Warhammer40K''.

[[AC:VideoGames]]

* The Dark Mistress from "Dungeon Keeper 2". If it's any indication, she moans in ecstasy when attacking, she sleeps in an iron maiden, she is initially lured to your dungeon when you build a torture chamber, and when there is no one for her to torture, she straps herself in and tortures herself.

* ''[[ValkyrieProfileCovenantOfThePlume Covenant of the Plume]]'' doesn't have many masochists, but you can recruit a few sadistic {{Token Evil Teammate}}s. Liselotte stands out--if she manages to kill someone with her special attack, her BondOneLiner is "Wasn't that the ''best'' you've ever had?"

* ''[[TheKingofFighters King of Fighters]]'' Vice fills in this trope. And how.
* Father Balder from ''{{Bayonetta}}'' invokes this trope during your battle with him. When you headbut building back at him, he will fall, get up and crink his back and makes a soft moaning sound. Same with a SATTELITE!
* How has no one mentioned Albedo from ''{{Xenosaga}}'' yet?

* [[TalesOfVesperia ZAGI.]] Oh God, Zagi.
* The Reaver specialization in ''DragonAgeOrigins'' is basically this.

* Marceline of ''AdventureTimeWithFinnAndJake'' is a minor case. While she doesn't outright enjoy pain, it makes her nostalgic of the days when she wasn't an nigh-invincible queen of vampires.

** Also, we have Genkaku, who ''didn't'' get a HeelFaceTurn.

* Pictured is Kakihara from [[IchiTheKiller Ichi the Killer]] who, if he isn't the most prominent example in any form of fictional media, then he's a very close second. Definitely a case of [[TakeOurWordForit take our word for it]]

[[caption-width:275:Scared yet? If not [[TooKinkyToTorture you]] [[SexIsViolence should]] [[ColdBloodedTorture be]].]]

* WTF, [[IchiTheKiller Kakihara]] is on the trope picture but not mentioned by name? o.O

** Anko actually cuts Naruto and licks the blood off of his face in a literal example of this trope.

[[caption-width:275:Even more disturbing than [[YouTasteDelicious this]] is the fact that she's [[{{Shotacon}} twice his age]].]]

** Anko actually cuts Naruto and licks the blood off of his face in a literal example of this trope (shown above).

* Yami Marik of YuGiOh is the embodiment of this trope, despite the fact that he fights via a [[MemeticMutation children's card game]]. His whole deck style is based around torturing his opponent's monsters before killing them, and he uses magic to make his opponent feel the pain as well, and often gets around to torturong his opponents directly before too long. In addition to his extreme sadism, he's also a bonna fide masochist - he begs his opponents to spice up the duel by hitting him or cutting him (to which Joey responds by vicariously punching a hole in the guy's gut, which practically threw Yami Marik into an orgasm). Sadly, or perhaps luckily, depending on how you view it, most of this is manga-version only, and was edited out of even the original japanese version of the anime.
** And Yubel of YuGiOhGX. She has been shown to have an enormously warped and sadomasochistic view of love: because love, in part, is sharing feelings, both joy and suffering, Yubel therefore legitimizes Jaden's suffering as "true love". Yubel feels she has suffered greatly due to her time in space and the crash into the Earth that caused her to lose most of her body, and desires to share that suffering with Jaden. To that end, she goes out her way to make him suffer. She also openly welcomes Jaden's insults and defiance, seeing the pain she suffers as Jaden expressing his "love".

* Herr Trigger of VentureBrothers is like this.

->'''Herr Trigger''': Ecstasy.

* SSDD has SuperSoldiers known as "Gigglers". They get injected with drugs when they kill an opponent, making them [[MeaningfulName cackle with delight]].

* I forget the name, but there's one FurryComic with SuperSoldiers known as "Gigglers". They get injected with drugs when they kill an opponent, making them [[MeaningfulName cackle with delight]].
