History BewareTheSillyOnes / AnimeAndManga

* The titular character of ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' may be silly, befitting the {{Kodomomuke}} nature of the series, but he falls along '''Cosmic Weight''' in the SuperWeight scale. Even when they're all granted by items rather than inherent powers and have some limitations, they allow him to (among other things) [[TimeStandsStill stop time]], [[TimeMachine travel across time,]] [[RealityWarper bend reality]], [[DimensionalTraveler travel to different reality]], and [[GenesisEffect even create a new universe.]] As a ''school project''.

* Isaac and Miria from ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'' are mostly klutzy goofballs, but they aren't without a badass side of their own--[[{{Jerkass}} Dallas Genoard]] learns this the hard way when the pair run him down with a car in retaliation for him beating them up earlier.

* Played with in ''Literature/{{Durarara}}''. Izaya Orihara is initially introduced as being one of the people Mikado is not to ever cross. He is known to be highly unstable and amoral, even doing horrifically unethical acts for the hell of it. However, he gives weird nicknames to people, skips around the city, watches children's anime and has walked down the street while pretending to ride a motorcycle. That said, he is still the cause of a fair amount of strife in the series.
** Shinra as well, to a somewhat less obvious extent. He obsesses over Celty and as a result often receives jabs or punches, he is usually cheerful and brutally honest to the point where he blatantly asks to dissect Shizuo multiple times. He also has been known to randomly switch his 'I' pronouns while speaking, constantly wears a lab coat and makes bad jokes. However, [[spoiler:he explicitly states he would commit genocide or become a complete villain in order to please Celty and nearly tries to kill Aoba with a scalpel after he threatens her]].
** Even Masaomi fills the trope. He makes crappy jokes, peppers his speech with random English words until Mikado asks him to speak normally and even tries pick-up lines on adult women. He is also the leader of a colour gang and is able to take on many people at once in a fight.
** Chikage is a ChivalrousPervert often followed by several girls at once, has his gang wear odd, white tiger-print clothing and once goes off on Masaomi for involving him in a plot before having it pointed out that he involved himself. He is a highly competent fighter who should, under no circumstances, be messed with unless your name happens to be Shizuo Heiwajima.
** Walker and Erika. Extreme otakus who will torture you and set things on fire.

* Issei Hyudo of ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'' is a complete goof. A [[IdiotHero not exceptionally bright]], [[NoIndoorVoice extremely loud]], and 110% perverted doofus (but still very kind-hearted). He's also the bearer of Ddraig, one of the two immensely powerful Heavenly Dragons. And when someone pisses him off, that perverted fool soon lays them out in extremely quick fashion.
* The anime ''Manga/InuYasha'' shows a heroic example with Jinenji. He is a half-demon, and the prime example of a GentleGiant. But when he fights, he is a very strong opponent.

* Pandora's Actor in ''Literature/Overlord2012'' looks silly and acts so [[LargeHam hammy]] that Momonga is somewhat ashamed of having created him. However, as a powerful doppelganger, he can replicate any member of Ainz Ooal Gown's army. While he can only use 80% of the originals' power, that makes him versatile enough to adapt to any situation and exploit any weakness.

* ''Literature/TrinityBlood'':
** Rare heroic example: Abel Nightroad is portrayed as a complete and utter moron throughout the entirety of the series. But beware! Threatening [=ANYone=] he cares about is a really bad idea. [[spoiler:"Nanomachine Crusnik 02, output 40% approved." <<< This phrase activates an utterly terrifying demon monster that [[FoodChainOfEvil eats vampires]]. [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Moron, indeed]]]] BEWARE!
** Just before the manga [[CutShort ended abruptly]], female lead Esther meets a goofy, scatterbrained, lost-without-his-butler English gentleman [[spoiler: [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast named]] {{Cain|AndAbel}}]].

** Present Mic, a very loud and boisterous LifeOfTheParty type whose penchant for LargeHamAnnouncer antics makes him FunPersonified versus his HeterosexualLifePartner Aizawa's [[HamAndDeadpanDuo moody glumness]]. However, don't think that just because Mic is a giant goofball that he ''isn't'' also wildly dangerous. He's almost certainly ObfuscatingStupidity, [[SmarterThanYouLook as he turns out to be even smarter than Aizawa]], and on top of that is scarily ready to brutalize ''anyone'' who hurts Aizawa [[spoiler:or his late friend Oboro Shirakumo]]. Witness the assault on UA where Present Mic showed up late to find Shoji carrying away an injured Aizawa. Mic's response? Unhesitatingly turn to face the villains responsible and ''completely blow out everyone's eardrums'' with a shout [[GaleForceSound so loud it produced its own wind stream]]. Later, he finds out that said late friend, Shirakumo, was turned into a Nomu, and when he and Aizawa find the doctor who was responsible, Mic beat the guy to a pulp.

** In ''Tokyo Ghoul: re'', [[BlackSheep Sasaki Haise]] might normally be a goofy, bumbling PungeonMaster who's too soft on his subordinates, but catch him in the wrong moment and [[TheMentallyDisturbed he suddenly doesn't seem so approachable]]. [[spoiler: This is a side-effect of his [[SanitySlippage past self]] -- Kaneki Ken -- resurfacing whenever he uses his kagune.]]

However, don't think that just because Mic is a giant goofball that he ''isn't'' also wildly dangerous.

** ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'': Jean-Pierre Polnareff is the ButtMonkey among the Joestar Group, being freaked at the bathroom shenanigans, as well as Iggy's antics throughout the series. He's the first to fall headfirst into the enemy [[FightingSpirit Stand]] users' traps as well. He's also the only one among the group who has shown active willingness to kill their opponents, and has the highest kill count among the Joestar group (Jotaro's kills come a close second). He's also the other original survivor from the Joestar Group due to his Stand's abilities ([[spoiler:Joseph was revived by a blood transfusion]]). [[spoiler:In Part 5, he was the one who tracked down Diavolo, a man known for his intense paranoia and SuperpowerLottery to match (if not surpass DIO's), and introduced Stand Requiems.]]

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' has Present Mic, a very loud and boisterous LifeOfTheParty type whose penchant for LargeHamAnnouncer antics makes him FunPersonified versus his HeterosexualLifePartner Aizawa's moody glumness. However, don't think that just because Mic is a giant goofball that he ''isn't'' also wildly dangerous.
