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

  (#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.

  (#13) Julius Rayfield - 'Rave Master'

  If you don't want to get on Julius Rayfield's bad side, don't insult his appearance. While he can sometimes appear friendly, he won't hesitate to take the life of anyone who damages his face or prevents him from achieving maximum gorgeousness. Originally part of a terrorist organization called Demon Card, he has since defected and joined the Rave Warriors.

  (#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.

  (#7) Amai Mask

  Amai Mask, also known as Sweet Mask, is the #1 Ranked A-Class hero who refuses to move up to S-Class in One Punch Man. Aside from being a powerful hero, he's also a famous model, actor, and singer, essentially making him the most popular celebrity in the world. He's known to have trouble fighting a villain if they are too ugly, as it disgusts him.

  (#14) Yuda

  • Merantau

  Fist of the North Star may have originated this trope with Yuda, a member of the Six Holy Fists of Nanto. Because he believes that he's flawlessly beautiful and therefore superior to everyone else, he feels entitled to betray his comrades and maintain a harem. His arrogance and obsession with beauty is his own undoing because he's easily tricked and distracted when somebody insults his appearance or displays an attack that he finds aesthetically pleasing.

  (#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.
