History Main / TheJuggernaut

* ''{{Freespace}} 2'' features the [[OmnicidalManiac Shivans]]' Sathanas, which is even classified as a Juggernaut as it's bigger than anything the [[TheAlliance Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance]] has save their own Juggernaut-type ship (which is admittedly not as powerful). It grinds through the GTVA's star systems until it's finally destroyed in a climactic showdown (the mission is even named "High Noon"). And then it goes FromBadToWorse - ''a fleet'' of the things shows up, destroys the good guys Juggernaut, and the Shivans [[ApocalypseHow blow up the Capellan star system.]]

** Shivans are rather fond of this trope: the first game featured the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast ''SD Lucifer'']], a super-destroyer with shields so powerful that literally ''nothing'' in the Allied arsenal could bring it down. The Lucifer [[ApocalypseHow glasses Vasuda Prime]], and sets course for Earth, destroying everything in its path. Then scientists uncover ruins of the Ancients--a race destroyed by the Shivans thousands of years ago--who left behind a [[FlingALightIntoTheFuture dying message in the hopes of aiding some future race]]: Shivan ships can't use their shields in Subspace, and ships can be tracked into subspace (the means for which is provided in the message). Using this, you scramble a last-ditch attempt to pull this off, destroying the Lucifer just as it nears the exit to Earth. By the sequel, a GTVA destroyer is a match for a Lucifer-class ship, and the GTVA Colossus--a Juggernaut in its own right, designed to ''engage multiple Lucifer-class ships at once and win'', embodies this trope for any ship that isn't Shivan. The Shivans, not to be one-upped, reveal the Sathanas in the sequel, which is somewhere around five kilometers in length, two-three kilometers in height and width, and bristling with twice as much firepower as the Colossus. Destroying one is a major effort in itself, even for the vastly-stronger Alliance in the sequel. When ''several'' of them start showing up after that, [[GenreSavvy the GTVA command knows to prepare to destroy both jump nodes connecting the adjoining system to the rest of GTVA territory]]. This move saves them and is completely vindicated when ''EIGHTY'' of them show up, and then begin to ''make Capella's sun go supernova''. Given how casually the Shivans sacrifice at least a dozen Sathanas's, several cruisers, and some destroyers, one has to wonder if they have something even bigger.

* '''Berserker''' aka Herakles from the visual novel ''FateStayNight'',especially during his fight against [[spoiler:Gilgamesh]] in UBW Route.His opponent is the world's First Hero with access to stronger versions of almost all Noble Phantasms that ever existed.So what does Berserker do? He literally ''storms'' his way through volleys of '''highly dangerous''' noble phantasms,all the while shielding his frightened master with his body.[[spoiler:Gil]] gets angrier with every passing moment & showers him with volleys of NPs. He shrugs his way through them.Then he is trapped by [[spoiler:Enkidu,an ancient chain ''specifically designed'' to restrain beings of divine origin,like Herakles]] and skewered by ''another'' volley of NPs. Berserker's immortality had run out by then. So what does he do? He breaks the [[spoiler:God binding chains]] with '''raw strength''' & charges at his enemy,once ''again''.[[spoiler:In the end,Gil gets really tired of this & pierces Herakles's heart with Gae Bolg,the spear designed to reduce the victim's hitpoint to 0.Even then Berserker keeps himself alive with '''sheer wilpower''' long enough to ensure that his frightened & injured master could die in peace,before fading away.]]

* Three words: Bazzet Fraga [=McRemitz=] from ''FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya''. She was already one in the [[VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia parent series]], but she deserves a honourful mention in this SpinOff for [[spoiler:[[CurbstompBattle Curbstomping]] Ilya, Kuro and Miyu, shrugging off all of their attacks, to the point they never won agaisnt her, they needed to trick her and place a {{Geas}} to prevent her from attacking.]]

* [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Savage Opress]] from ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars''. No jedi is a match for him in single combat and even multipe jedi with clone trooper back up could steer him in another direction. [[spoiler: This changes when Darth Maul revives. The elder brother forecefully lays down the RuleOfTwo on the younger and after serving as TheApprentice for a time he is killed by Darth Sidious with little difficulty.]]

** How about [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-058 SCP-058]], the bovine heart with arachnid legs, tentacles & a stinger tail. That little beast is ''a million times'' as destructive as his size shows.

** How about SCP-058, the bovine heart with arachnid legs, tentacles & a stinger tail. That little beast is ''a million times'' as destructive as his size shows.

** Funnily enough, all the infected including the Tank itself [[TechnicallyLivingZombie DO have a pulse]].

"Juggernaut" is a word meaning "unstoppable." TheJuggernaut is just that. It is often fixated on a goal, reaching somewhere that it shouldn't be, trying to accomplish something that the heroes don't want it to accomplish. In any case, it is moving ever and continually forward, [[SuperStrength letting no one and nothing stand in its path]]. Bullets? Pathetic. Rockets? Barely noticable. Nuclear bombs? [[NighInvulnerable Might make him flinch]], but [[OutOfTheInferno don't expect the flames to stop him]] - ''[[InfernalRetaliation And that's if you're lucky]]''. The group of powerful heroes we've been following are nothing more than the RedshirtArmy to this thing. YouShallNotPass? It's going to. And it's ever, continually moving forward. You can practically ''taste'' the invulnerability of this thing.

It also helps the illusion of unstoppability if TheJuggernaut is also TheVoiceless. If physical attacks don't slow it down, then talking it down isn't going to work, either. It sometimes won't even attack, preferring to just plow forward, as if the defenses trying to stop it aren't even there. Those determined to make you fear them or mock your inability to scratch them will [[TheSlowWalk take their time]]. Stopping this thing usually requires a last second gambit, or a DeusExMachina to defeat. If it ever appears again, VillainDecay is almost certain. After all, if the unstoppable is stopped once, that means it's not unstoppable anymore, right? An epic NotSoInvincibleAfterAll moment will usually occur in the process.

* In the first episode of ''Series/{{Angel}}'' that Hamilton appears in, he is TheJuggernaut.

* At the end of ''LegacyOfKain: Soul Reaver 2'', Raziel becomes TheJuggernaut when he picks up the Reaver Blade, turning him entirely invulnerable, and making the rest of the game - a long series of bosses - a complete walkover. And he can't drop or lose the blade.

* 'CityOfHeroes'' has a [[TheJuggernaut Juggernaut]] in the [[FunWithAcronyms Minds of Mayhem]] trial: the PlayerCharacters have to find a way to stop a psychic projection of [[OneBadMother Mother]] from reaching a symbol of the local SentientCosmicForce, or that section of the raid effectively resets. Mother's projection does not attack during this phase; it slowly...methodically...floats...toward its goal, and can only be stopped by [[spoiler: using manifestations of its own nightmares against it]]. While it's not as invulnerable as other examples, Mother's manifestation is still almost impossible to defeat in time without using this little trick.

* [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Rampage]] from ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' in his first apperance. He's effectively what happens when TheJuggernaut meets SerialKiller and GeniusBruiser. The results are less than pretty to say the least, and it's only by disabling his treads that they're able to temporarily stop him. After [[BigBad Megatron]] put a RestrainingBolt on him he did suffer from some severe VillainDecay, although even then he remained an ImplacableMan of the first order.

* Liberty Prime in VideoGame/{{Fallout3). When he first appeared, it was a MassOhCrap moment for the Enclave.

* The Armored Titan from ''ShingekiNoKyojin''. This unusual specimen is a 15m tall HumanoidAbomination covered in plates of thickened skin that allow it to shrug off cannon fire and just keep coming. Its first appearance involves [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCZcA6BPrCw charging and smashing]] through the internal gate of Wall Maria, an event that earns it legendary status among the survivors as an unstoppable horror.

* Demons in ''{{Berserk}}'' are nearly impossible to put down. Nothing short of ridiculously thorough physical trauma can really stop one; Guts usually has to cleave one's head into pieces - repeatedly - and Wyald [[spoiler:keeps moving until Nosferatu Zodd, another powerful demon, ''tears him clean in half'']].

* Kratos from GodOfWar. Once he's fixated on a goal, nothing will stop him. Even if you manage to kill him, he'll climb back out of Hades even angrier than before.

* [[spoiler: The Hybrid Reaver]] in the secret mission in ''StarcraftII''. [[spoiler: While the ones fought in the Protoss mini-campaign are killable]], this one will shrug off anything done to it. The only weapon that is effective against it is a device that ''slows down time'' -- this only slows it down for a few seconds. Once it appears, the only goal in the mission is to ''get the hell out of Dodge''.

** On the marine's side, we have Vice-admiral Akainu, a man who transforms into a lava floe, and is just as unstoppable as one. Even when not taking into account this ability, his physical strength is practically unmatched, and the only time he was stopped, it was because he clashed with a bigger Juggernaut (Whitebeard). And even then, he was soon back up in time to murder some more pirates. And don't think reasoning with him will work, he's hellbent on exterminating every single pirate in the world, and will gladly incinerate anyone who stands in his way, including his own men.

** The second appearance of Solomon Grundy. Dr. Fate, Green Lantern, Superman, and even Amazo could not take him down. Repeat, AMAZO COULD NOT TAKE HIM DOWN.[[hottip:*: Grundy was being empowered by 'chaos energy' and Amazon was a source of it. He was simply making Grundy stronger.]]
