Changed verbs from past to present tense as per How to Write an Example - Write in Historical Present Tense.

Coach Stopframe had is told by Clay that his son Orel came between him and the bear when he shot Orel's leg. But when Orel tells him the truth, <- comma that Clay shot his leg while drunk and blamed the bear, <- comma he was disgusted. You can hear the anger and disgust in his voice when he tells Orel that his coming between him and the bear is one of the lies Clay made up.

Disapproves of his brother Neil's friendship with Norman, but still helps search for him with his sister Courtney when Norman goes missing.

He is not only loving and protective of his younger brother, <- comma but he is not the typical Jerk Jock. He actually is very friendly and never mean. Playing With, <- comma as he disapproves of his brother's friendship with Norman and advises him not to hang out with Norman because of his reputation. However, <- comma he was never mean to Norman directly, went to search for him when he was missing, became a believer of his gift to see ghosts, and finally stands up to the townsfolk when they want to hurt Norman.

In DC canon, <- comma Tara Markov is a bastard child and half sister to Brion Markov and Prince Gregor Markov. Here, <- comma she is the full sister and a member of the royal family.

You have a problem with subject-verb agreement for third person present tense verbs in these examples. Here's how to do it correctly.

When you have a singular noun, the verb ends with an "s". When you have a plural noun, the verb does not end with an "s".

Examples:

The dog walks down the street. The dogs walk down the street.

@Ruben Ferro

In the middle of the third generation (chapter) <- no comma you get to fight Midas, who proved to be That One Boss for many. However, it also starts off a tendency of ridiculously powerful bosses. Up until that point, bosses weren't such a big deal. <- period After Midas, however, they start to regenerate truly large chunks of their Hit Points and start using one-hitting Area of Effect attacks that cover half of the battlefield. Not to mention, the game starts to routinely throw 2-3 bosses at you.

"Up until that point, bosses weren't such a big deal, after Midas, however, they..."

This was a comma splice: two separate sentences joined together with a comma rather than being separated with a period.

You can put all of your material in one big post. It makes it easier to edit it. If I haven't answered a post and you have new material, you can add the new material to it.

If LINK VRAINS is the title of a work, it should be in italics and have a namespace. Is it associated with Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS (''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS'')?

Yusaku is still serious and stoic, but this version of Yusaku is a Nice Guy and lacks the I Work Alone attitude which is present in his anime counterpart.

Yusaku has some moments with Aoi, considering her someone precious in his heart. When she shows up with Ryoken, he quickly rushes to her and hugs her protectively.

Just Like most of the characters, she has more profound beauty in the manga than in the anime.

In the anime, Aoi is flat chested and all her alter egos have Fake Boobs. In the manga she is given a noticeable bust and has huge knockers compared to her anime counterpart.

She is fond of displaying (or using) cute mannerisms as part of her idol persona.

Both of them are Hired Guns <- no comma and are very skilled hackers.

Like Emma, he's a mercenary duelist, hacker, and investigator who works for Akira, but also takes jobs for others in SOL Technologies.

Red Eyes, Take Warning: He has red eyes, both in his human and VR form.

^ This is a Zero-Context Example. In order to be an example of Red Eyes, Take Warning, a character must also be either evil or dangerous, and that must be mentioned in the example. You should check all of the other Personal Appearance Tropes you gave to make sure you included enough necessary information to make it clear they're actual examples.

Warning: providing Zero Context Examples can result in being suspended from editing.

Rejecting the offer, Yamato plans to use Polaris to re-create the world into a meritocracy, where people as himself would lead humanity to a utopia. Waiting and preparing himself for the apocalypse, Yamato recruits useful and promising survivors from civilian backgrounds, including Hibiki Kuze and his friends. Impressed at Hibiki's potential, Yamato becomes fond of him, even receiving Hibiki's Death Clip—something that only friends of the future potential victim would receive—and saving his life multiple times. Allowing Hibiki to leave JPs, Yamato kills his Friendly Enemy Alcor after his loyal right hand sacrificed herself. Reaching Polaris as one of the two remaining humans, Yamato loses against Hibiki, smiling as he dies in his arms. After the world is restored, Yamato reconciles with Hibiki, accepting his ideological defeat. Willing to sacrifice both civilians and soldiers in his quest for his ideal world, Yamato's never gives up.

Books: The First Law Trilogy

Combat by Champion: A favored method of settling disputes with the Northmen. One of the protagonists, Logan Ninefingers, was an undefeated champion of these trials prior to the books. In fact, this is how Bethod became the King of the Northmen, with the help of Logan. Combat by champion also happens a few times in the books. Most notably, this is how Bethod proposes to solve his land dispute with the Union in order to avoid war in the first book, which the Union refuses. Ironically, this is also how he meets his end in the third book when the Union corners him and Logan defeats his current champion.

For Fire Emblem Heroes:

• Disc-One Nuke: The Black Knight in particular can be further enhanced by merging with another Black Knight obtained via Heroic Grails. For instance, if you decide to buy the Starter Support Pack for the 5 Star Black Knight, you can have access to his Alondite sword right immediately. You can then keep redeeming 4 Star Black Knights with the Heroic Grails, evolve them to 5 Star and feed them to your main Black Knight through the Merge Allies feature. By doing so, you can improve your Black Knight's base stat and give him SP as early as possible.

Game: Trillion: God of Destruction

• Dump Stat: Almost every stat besides Attack, Speed and Affection, especially defensive stats, Hp and Mp, and to a lesser extent, Magic and Capacity. Defensive stats are worthless because Trillion does massive damage no matter how high those stats are, and because only heavily investing in them, to the detriment of other stats, yield even noticeable results. Hp and Mp are useless thanks to the unique mechanic of Affection, which is a third gauge that doubles as both Hp and Mp, and thanks to how the battles with Trillion work, you are practically dead if it runs out anyway. Magic becomes less and less viable as the game goes on, and Capacity is reliant on friendly AI, which is pretty bad.

• Devil Survivor 2: Yamato Hotsuin is the young and determined leader of JPs. Trained since his childhood, Yamato develops a merit-based Social Darwinist worldview which he applies to his own life. When Polaris's trial begins and Japan is invaded for the Septentrione, Yamato leads JPs and ensures its survival, recruiting useful civilians while ignoring most of them. Willing to sacrifice and risk his allies if needed, Yamato eventually reveal his goal: Survive Polaris's trial and ask her to rebuild the world into his ideal Meritocracy, where class, race and gender would be ignored in favor of merit. Yamato also tries to convince The Protagonist to follow him while allowing him to choose otherwise. Sacrificing himself to save the protagonists—including his ideological rival Ronaldo—after acknowledging their merit in Ronaldo's route and committing suicide after losing in Anguished One's, Yamato always fight until the very end. If the Protagonist joins him, Yamato successfully leads his team to victory, creating a world where merit rules, the so-called useless ones are discriminated and Yamato and his retinue rules over all.
