This is simply what you think is the (not some of the, '''''the''''') best example of any objective trope (so no YMMV or Trivia as they are not tropes proper and the former is already subjective) The "Crowning Example" if you will.
There could be several reasons you think an example is the best.
* You think it's the best in terms of illustrating the trope.
* You think it's the most well done.
* It's your favorite play in that trope.
* You just really like the source material.
Oh, several things before you list examples:
* Each troper gets one example per trope, no more.
* Don't go "no, this is," or phrases like that. This is about our own personal favorites.
* '''Sign your entries.'''

!!Please list tropes alphabetically.

** Anime/YuGiOh5Ds. There are several [[DubInducedPlothole plotholes that are exclusive to the English dub]], some of which are caused by this series having the most censorship out of any Franchise/YuGiOh series. The dub also skips over about 11 episodes, creating even more plot holes. That's all that I can say in regards to this trope without changing the subject. - someguy227

** Two Words...[[VideoGame/GoldenSun Air's Rock]]. ~ @/{{deeman45}}
** The Dark Realm in ''VideoGame/OnimushaDawnOfDreams''. 100 floors, at least 8 enemies per floor, (who disregard MookChivalry) and on the majority of these floors, whenever you wipe out all the enemies, second or third waves of enemies teleport in to attack you just when you thought you were done. Also there's no way to save progress or resume from a certain floor, so you must go from Level 1 to Level 100 in one shot. Have fun with that. ~ @/TheWanderer
** The Xbox 360/Playstation 3 version of [[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed Eggmanland]], the AmusementParkOfDoom to end amusement parks of doom. It's the only stage in the game where you [[UnexpectedGameplayChange switch between Hedgehog and Werehog forms mid-level]] and neither side lets up: taking the [[NintendoHard Nintendo Hardness]] of the rest of the game and cranking it up to eleven with PlatformHell, [[PressXToNotDie Insta-kill QTEs]], and DemonicSpiders galore. The level basically [[SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity showers you with extra lives]] just to make itself remotely manageable and the kicker is that if you want OneHundredPercentCompletion you have to do it all [[NoDeathRun without dying once]]. It's not actually that long compared to some examples of the trope; around 45 minutes not counting retries, but in [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog a series]] where the typical level is closer to the 2-5 minute mark it makes up for it with pure sadism.

His minion, Jaken (who normally snarks about Rin being an annoyance), says something to the effect that Sesshoumaru's disposition prevents him from ever shedding tears--so he, Jaken, will weep for Rin in his master's place.

This is even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Hugo Strange during his interviews with the Joker in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'', noting that he comes up with a different backstory every time he's asked about it, and the only thing they all have in common is that he [[NeverMyFault blames Batman]] for his transformation into a super villain. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller

There could be several reasons you think an example is the best.
* You think it's the best in terms of illustrating the trope.
* You think it's the most well done.
* It's your favorite play in that trope.
* You just really like the source material.
Oh, several things before you list examples:
* Each troper gets one example per trope, no more.
* Don't go "no, this is," or phrases like that. This is about our own personal favorites.

** Anime/YuGiOh5Ds. There are several [[DubInducedPlothole plotholes that are exclusive to the English dub]], some of which are caused by this series having the most censorship out of any Franchise/YuGiOh series.

** The Dark Realm in ''VideoGame/OnimushaDawnOfDreams''. 100 floors, at least 8 enemies per floor, (who disregard MookChivalry) and on the majority of these floors, whenever you wipe out all the enemies, second or third waves of enemies teleport in to attack you just when you thought you were done. Also there's no way to save progress or resume from a certain floor, so you must go from Level 1 to Level 100 in one shot. Have fun with that. ~ @/TheWanderer
** The Xbox 360/Playstation 3 version of [[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed Eggmanland]], the AmusementParkOfDoom to end amusement parks of doom. It's the only stage in the game where you [[UnexpectedGameplayChange switch between Hedgehog and Werehog forms mid-level]] and neither side lets up: taking the [[NintendoHard Nintendo Hardness]] of the rest of the game and cranking it up to eleven with PlatformHell, [[PressXToNotDie Insta-kill QTEs]], and DemonicSpiders galore. The level basically [[SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity showers you with extra lives]] just to make itself remotely manageable and the kicker is that if you want OneHundredPercentCompletion you have to do it all [[NoDeathRun without dying once]]. It's not actually that long compared to some examples of the trope; around 45 minutes not counting retries, but in [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog a series]] where the typical level is closer to the 2-5 minute mark it makes up for it with pure sadism.

** From ''Manga/InuYasha'': Rin, for Sesshoumaru. He starts out as a power-hungry [[IncrediblyLamePun son of a bitch]] who utterly loathes humans. When Rin dies during his quest into Hell itself to unlock the ultimate power of his sword Tenseiga, he drops the sword and stands there holding the little girl's body, realizing that obtaining that power means nothing to him if the price is Rin's life. His minion, Jaken (who normally snarks about Rin being an annoyance), says something to the effect that Sesshoumaru's disposition prevents him from ever shedding tears--so he, Jaken, will weep for Rin in his master's place. You're not the only one, Jaken. ~Venovel

*** Seconded. This is even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Hugo Strange during his interviews with the Joker in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'', noting that he comes up with a different backstory every time he's asked about it, and the only thing they all have in common is that he [[NeverMyFault blames Batman]] for his transformation into a super villain. ~ Mattman_the_Storyteller

** Anime/AKB0048. Not only is this group of {{Idol Singer}}s treated as the most amazing thing in the world (natch, the series ''is'' about them, after all), but we learn that it comes with defending the galaxy from Anti-Fun Soldiers enforcing a ban on entertainment with ships and lasers and space battles.
