New Trope: Power Ranger Syndrome

Ok, I don't know if this is the correct place to suggest it, but it always bugged me that some shows, particularly of japanese origin, have a consistent way of how a fight of "the good guys" VS. "the bad guys" will proceed.

The trope basically is: the heroes always, and it must be either always or 90% of the time, begin the fight getting stomped, but can also always achieve victory near the end, be it by Deus Ex Machina or sheer will power.

Examples that crossed my mind are: Power Rangers/Super Sentai getting stomped by the monster of the week and then destroying it; all the saints from Saint Seiya against the current enemies; Ichigo from Bleach in half of his fights; the Meisters of Gundam 00; Inuyasha; the EVA pilots of Evangelion; Shana from Shakugan no Shana; Digimon (all series); Sailor Moon

Aversions and inversions include: Lelouch in Code Geass; Death Note; Dragon Ball; Lyrical Nanoha; Naruto; Pokemon; Madoka Magica; Ranma; Yu Yu Hakusho

As it says in the pinned post above, YKTTW is the place for proposing new tropes. What you are describing has a problem that we call Trope Namer Syndrome, where a trope is named after what the author feels is a notable instance. It is also almost certainly a trope we already have under a different name, so you should check Trope Finder first.
