Random 'Fighting Narcissists' Who Are Way Too Into Themselves (15 items)

• 

  (#9) Suzuki - 'Yu Yu Hakusho'

  Suzuki fits this trope so well that his fighting style is literally called Fighting Narcissist. He's so passionate about declaring his own beauty and perfection that he's easily distracted in an actual real battle situation, a fact which his opponents are able to take advantage of during the Dark Tournament. If his subordinates refuse to call him "Beautiful Suzuki" he becomes enraged and violent, destroying everything around him in a fury. 

  Despite this obsession with his looks, he often appears in clown makeup, proving that while he might be arrogant, his aesthetic sensibilities are questionable at best.

  (#12) Hotohori - 'Fushigi Yugi'

  If anybody has the right to a little bit of vanity, it's Hotohori, the emperor of Konan. Not only is he literal royalty, he's also a powerful warrior and one of the members of the Suzaku Seven. What's more, by the standards of '90s shojo anime, he's beautiful. Hotohori is extremely cool, and absolutely knows it - he says so explicitly, more than once.

  While his confidence isn't exactly unearned, it does lead him to repeatedly ask Miaka out when he knows she isn't interested - a habit he thankfully drops later in the series.

  (#15) Akoya Gero - 'Cute High Earth Defense Club Love!'

  Akoya Gero is a member of the Conquest Club - the primary antagonists of Cute High Earth Defense Club Love! He's often complimented for his angelic appearance, and he takes great pride in it. He loves everything that's beautiful, and turns up his nose at anything that doesn't suit his refined tastes. His transformation, Chevalier Perlie, is even more elegent than Akoya typically is.

  (#8) Kirsch Vermillion - 'Black Clover'

  As a nobleman of the House of Vermillion, Kirsch likes to flaunt his royalty - and his good looks. Even his magical powers are visually pleasing to the eye as he can manipulate and produce cherry blossoms. He tends to look down on those with a lower status than him, often treating them with disgust or dismissing them entirely. But despite his egotism, his powers and skills prove useful as he is a remarkable vice-captain of Coral Peacock, bearing most of the work that his sleeping captain fails to do.

  (#10) Asuka Langley Soryu

  • Neon Genesis Evangelion, Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance, Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo, Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death & Rebirth, The End of Evangelion

  While the 'fighting narcissist' trope tends to skew toward the masculine, there are some female examples. One of those is Asuka Langley Soryu, a young mecha pilot whose overblown pride is a mask for deep insecurities. But the complexity of her character doesn't make it any less noteworthy when she's going on about how beautiful and talented she is, and flying into a rage whenever anything threatens her inflated self-perception.

  (#1) Yumichika Ayasegawa

  • Bleach, Bleach: Memories of Nobody, Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion, Bleach: Fade to Black

  Yumichika Ayasegawa is a loyal and dedicated member of the Gotei 13 - but he's also really, really into himself, and to aesthetics in general. Once, he couldn't bring himself to fight his own evil clone because the idea of attacking someone so gorgeous was too painful to consider. 

  Depending on which part of Bleach he appears in, Yumichika can appear to be a more complex character whose arrogance covers up deeper insecurities - but at other times, he's there as comic relief.
