I agree. I don't see the "perseverance" angle either. Pull for now.
(Side note, the name doesn't say anything about the trope. Maybe I'll do a wick check sometime to see if there's misuse.)
TRS Queue | Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallAgree as well. Pull, pending other suggestions.
(Annoyed grunt)
+1 to pull
Pull regardless of replacement.
A lot of good you did me.Maybe dark-Deku from My Hero Academia? [1]
The caption is doing some of the heavy lifting, but the dirt, grime, and wounds combined with his stance sell the image of a physically and emotionally hurt character persevering.
Some suggestions. Here is Ash from Pokémon trying to tell Pikachu to leave and be with his own kind.
These are two random, context-less images of Ash and May crying from the Japanese 5th and 9th openings respectively. Sorry for the shoddy crop, couldn't find a shot that didn't have Japanese text on it.
And there's Naruto confronting his inner darkness late in Part 2.

the Pokemon examples aren't illustrative. It's not just about the hero being sad but being sad AND still doing their job.
The Naruto one is just too wordy. to both.
How about the infamous Spider-man lifting rubble comic? [1]◊

How about the final scene of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm? It shows Bats on a rooftop, reflecting on the events of the film, then the Bat Signal appears, then he shoots his grappling hook and swings into the camera. It would require a stack of 3 images, most likely, though.
9 is the best one so far, but that one's not very strong either.
The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us.Here's a bunch of caps, this is the best I could come up with but I'm not in love with it:

Anyway, crowner's hooked. Naruto ones are too wordy as is, are there potential 2-3 panel combinations?

Not really in the manga without cutting and pasting, though you might be able to work a collage from the anime.
You forgot 11, the Spider-man one.

I'm not a fan of 9. Not knowing the context, it looks more like Dark Is Not Evil.
I added it. Remember that you can add items to crowners yourself or holler for a crowner to be modified. I don't always check on these and might miss a comment.
Votes bump, one in green.
Calling for no pic for now. Locking up.
Crown Description:
Hurting Hero
I don't see Batman persevering despite his hardship and pain. I just see him looking down and possibly sulking.
