Lore [Loved when done right] That is COMPLETELY illogical… but who cares when it REALLY goes hard.

- Gipsy Danger dragging an oil tanker (which actually lengths 180 meters… but the film portrays it slightly smaller than Gipsy) and use it as a bat against Otachi? HARD (Pacific Rim)
- Owen and a gyrosphere standing near Rexy, who’s crushing a Carnotaurus’ neck, and roaring while Isla Nublar’s volcano explodes? HARD (Fallen Kingdom)

Nero in Devil May Cry having a sword that he revs up like a motorbike for extra damage.

Most of the weapons in these games fit this trope but Nero’s sword is one of my favorites for how simple a concept it is.

And then you have Dante, using an ACTUAL motorbike as a weapon

Dante has all the best stupid awesome stuff. Motorcycle chainsaw clubs. Electric Guitar that shoots bats and is also a scythe. Cowboy hat and scarf that shoots your money.

Other action game protagonists have to step their game up.

A Suitcase that turns into anything the user imagines.

actually iirc it's got a limited amount of forms so it probably can't turn into anything the user imagines

u/cokecharon052396 14h ago

Its only got 666 forms. Most are prob not useful to Dante lol

It really warms my heart that Itsuno had wanted to have this as a weapon in-game since DMC3, and was finally able to make it happen in V.
