Ambiguous Disorder is not a trope anymore, but a redirect to a YMMV entry.


* AmbiguousDisorder: ''Ambiguous'' doesn't even begin to cut it with Lotton... there is evidently some ''really'' loose screws (or missing) inside that brain. He's definitely got ''some'' kind of delusion of grandeur, coupled with an absolute inability to tell fantasy from reality indicating possible schizophrenia. ''Or'' it could simply be severe cognitive deficiency... Shenhua remarks that he's "special", so it's perhaps best to leave it at that.



* AmbiguousDisorder: Fair chance she suffers from a combination of some form of depression and anxiety disorder, as within less than a minute, she has an anxiety attack, throws a childish tantrum then curls up and starts crying after she loses her ultravoice. Revy also comments that she might have some other emotional issues that ''could'' make her unpredictable.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.
