* TheFettered: Confucianism is known for its rigid social systems. Confucius makes appeals to tradition, respect, and honor over the course of the battle. This is why Voltaire dedicates his verse to dissing Confucius, saying he considers challenging conformity to just be what would come naturally to a man who prides himself on being a free thinker.

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.


* BadassMoustache: Jamie's mustache has been compared to a walrus, and both of theirs were compared to that of the Lorax.



* BadassBeard: An immense wizardly one, befitting of the ruler of the Greek gods.



* BadassBeard: A short, manly red one in contrast with Zeus' white WizardBeard.



* BadassBeard: He has a scraggly white beard and he's a 3 billion dollar dream machine.



* BadassBeard: The behind the scenes show that they researched his beard to make it as accurate as possible. As a result, he looks distinguished as the rapping inventor of philosophy should.



* BadassMustache: A gigantic handlebar mustache. Confucius doesn't think it's all that cool, though: he thinks God might have died of shame after creating it.



* BadassMustache: Makes up for the lack of a beard like his compatriots with a nice-looking mustache that makes him look more intimidating.



* BadassBeard: Not as long as Confucius's, but still respectable in a "wise old sage" manner.



* BadassBeard: Has the longest of all facial hair shown in the rap battle. As a result, he looks like the sage he is commonly depicted as.



* BadassMustache: Has a bush on his lips and is a dreaded EvilOverlord.
