Is this an example?

So, I just put Darker and Edgier's example back?

in regards to why I think Mowgli should not be in the does not like Shoe's category it says what I'm talking bout near the bottom of the page for the does not like shoe's category that it does not count if either the character exists in a society where Shoe's do not exist or one where none of the other characters wear shoe's which in this case is all of the children in the man village.

meaning them not wearing Shoe's has less to do with their personality as they still wouldn't' if they were any of the other child characters.

does anyone know if this counts as an invocation of Blatant Lies or is it something else like That Liar Lies or No, You:

—

You are a part of a mercenary group hired by a nation declaring independence from a massive world government

Some years ago said government destroyed another independence movement that was primarily composed of mercenaries

You, a mercenary, play as one of the survivors of that destruction and many of the mercenary outfit you work with or for are also survivors

You are eventually betrayed by other mercenaries to the world government, and your group is accused of harbouring an ideological/personal grudge against the only major world power (some context: said world power unified the world after a major apocalypse destroyed nearly everything)

Your groups denies this because it's mercenary work and Nothing Personal, but one of the mercs who survived the other independence destruction scoffs and calls your group liars

Another merc claims his betrayal of your group is "just business" but his tone makes it clear he harbours a grudge against your group for basically putting his own group out of work

The game later strongly implies the accuser was right as your group takes some kind of dirty deal offered by the independence effort that one of your friends says gave them too much power

From YMMV.Charby The Vampirate:

• Archive Binge "I'm confused"-person who only read the pages with good art.

What does that even mean?

i think theyre trying to tell the reader to go on an archive binge or calling out people who only look at the art and ignore the plot. either way remove it

The sounds most like No, You, but it's hard for me to get a handle on when I'm not familiar with the work

I think I figured out what it's trying to say. It looks like the comic (like many other webcomics) has undergone a fair bit of Art Evolution. So, if someone has only read "the pages with good art," (aka the most recent ones), they're unfamiliar with the early parts of the story, and are thus confused. Either way, it's a bad example and should be cut.

(x4) I'm unsure, though I think might be right. Regardless, I'd hide it for lacking context, though it might just be misuse.

It was the only example on the YMMV page, so... I put it in the cut list before saw your comment. (;¬_¬)

EDIT: Thanks for the clarification.

@top of page: No, I meant Cerebus Syndrome seems like a better trope if it's internal to a single work.

Would this be a proper example of Zerg Rush?

• Final Fantasy VII: The summon materia, Knights of the Round, has each of the thirteen knights attack where a damage number appears with each blow.

Not enough context, Zerg Rush is using a massive number of low level units to overwhelm an enemy.

They take turns doing high damage. If it's not an example of Zerg Rush, than is it at least one for Combination Attack?

Combination Attack sounds closer, though I would try to expand the example more if possible.

Looking for a music trope to describe the Orden Ogan and Friends version of the Final Days album. It's not an Updated Re-release because they rerecorded all the songs with a different guest artist on each one, plus releasing a Cut Song from the original version that had proven eerily prophetic of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Would it qualify as a B-Side?

Free! has this

• Bizarre Human Biology: Timeless Medley: Promises revealed that Rin inherited his shark teeth from his father. Pictures of both Matsuoka men when they were younger indicate that these teeth somehow grew in at puberty. Humans only have two sets of teeth

umm.. what, why is this trope in an anime page about a bunch of good-looking dudes swimming.

Is this a better description?

• Final Fantasy VII: The summon materia, Knights of the Round, has each of the thirteen knights take turns attacking the foes, with every one of them doing massive damage.

If they each do massive damage and attack one at a time, it's not a zerg rush. A Zerg Rush specifically requires being overwhelmed by a ton of low-damage units attacking simultaneously

I don't think having shark teeth is extreme enough to count as Bizarre Human Biology, so I'm leaning saying to cut it.

I believe Zerg Rush requires more fighters as per having strength in numbers.

EDIT: Adding a couple arrows cuz I got 'd.

So does that mean I should put it on Combination Attack instead?

Combination Attack only seems to count if the attack in question is a Special Attack.

Does anyone know what trope it would best fall under?

I'd see Trope Finder for that.

From Heart Is an Awesome Power

• Risotto Nero's Stand, Metallica, can manipulate magnetic fields to create objects out of iron, such as razor blades, pins and scissors. It sounds fairly simple on its own, but the man is the leader of Passione's Hitman Squad for a reason: not only can he turn invisible by coating himself in iron dust, but his main method of assassination is transforming the iron inside his targets. Not only that, but, as he explains to Doppio, iron can be found everywhere from sand to water to plants, implying he only needs trace amounts of it for his power to work. He's a playable character in Last Survivor and became the first DLC character for All Star Battle R.

I don't think magnetism can be considered a "heart" power

I agree that magnetism itself isn't seemingly weak and that that isn't an example of Heart Is an Awesome Power.
