* One of the three basic weapon types from ''FireEmblem'' (along with [[HeroesPreferSwords swords]] and [[BladeOnAStick lances]]). Axe users have a tendency toward BigGuy archetypes: Fighters, Berserkers, Pirates, Journeymen, Brigands, Warriors, Generals. In ''Blazing Sword'', Hector of Ostia is actually a ''Lord'' who [[NotCompensatingForAnything specializes in axe use]].

** May be the trope namer, as the Tauren Chieftain says "I have an axe to grind." upon training.
*** That phrase easily predates WC3.

** They aren't quite as big, but Presea is predated by [[TalesOfPhantasia Cless Alvein]], [[TalesOfDestiny Mary Argent, Loni Dunamis]], and [[TalesOfEternia Rid Herschel]] as far as axe-users go. She's also succeeded by [[TalesOfHearts Innes Lorenz]], whose weapon is described as an "axe blade" which can probably rival Presea's Gaea Cleaver for raw size and power (especially given that Presea is a TokenLoli while Innes has BoobsOfSteel). Cless and Rid are technically swordsmen, but they both can swing axes and halberds as well.

*** The ''TransformersCybertron'' incarnation of Metroplex ([[BeyondTheImpossible who is giant in comparison to the ordinary giant robots]]) has his shovel/bucket wheel assembly become an axe called [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Sparkdrinker]] in robot mode. He brutally smashes Megatron through two floors (in a building for giant Transformers) with it. Things get even more awesome when Optimus Prime wields it.

** The space axes were extremely massive, on the order of 35 pounds, so that even a slow swing was deadly. This was because the DeflectorShields in the Lensman universe provided resistive force proportional to the ''cube'' of the impacting item's velocity. As in {{Dune}}, the slow blade penetrates the shield.

* GitarooMan plays with this with the very first stage. Since all the characters are MusicalAssasins, the first enemy is a demon wielding an axe. Not a guitar, an actual axe. He charges it up by strumming it like a guitar, but attacks you with unusually musical chopping of air.
