Badass in Distress	comment	So, your mighty Action Hero is becoming just a bit too powerful and invincible. Sure, it's really cool to watch, but nobody likes a God-Mode Sue. What can you do to make them seem more human? Why not do an episode where your badass finds themselves in the role usually reserved for a Damsel in Distress? Kidnap them, make them desperately ill or injured, or otherwise put them in a situation where they cannot single-handedly resolve the plot, and your audience can enjoy watching them wait for the kind of rescue they usually provide for the rest of the cast. See? Your other characters can get A Day in the Limelight, and fans of your hero will recognize that they're Not So Invincible After All... There is one major drawback in using this trope, however. When your badass looks... bad, the audience may worry that the hero is losing their touch or the Action Girl is undergoing her long-dreaded descent from ass-kicking heroine to Faux Action Girl. Fortunately, most viewers will agree to forgive a brief lapse in badassery â€” anyone can have an off-day, and no one wins all the time. Beyond that, a Badass in Distress isn't your average helpless victim. If they haven't been quietly planting the seeds for their own escape this whole time, they're certainly waiting at the door, ready to leap out and kick some ass the instant it opens. Additionally, it might also polish up the character's 'badass' credentials, as counter-productive as that might sound — the villains might have put the badass in distress either because they knew that they would be a threat to their plans if left be, or because they planned to use their badassery to further their own plans. The latter scenario tend to pop up when the bad guys needed some badass data, and it wouldn't make sense if they just kidnapped an easily captured wimp for that. And the more badass the hero is, the result of the plan would be greater, turning the hero's badass qualities against themselves. In most cases the badass really can't get out of the situation without help, but occasionally their allies fail to save them despite their best efforts. When that happens (especially if the badass sees their friends in trouble), expect them to call up an extraordinary amount of Heroic Resolve, break free on their own, and save their would-be saviors. If the badass is a villain or even debatable antihero, there's generally no rescue attempt at all; instead of escaping, the character simply survives the execution and immediately murders everyone. In other words, Tropes Are Tools, and this is a good one for adding depth and humanity to a potentially Invincible Hero. Done well, it makes viewers appreciate the hero's customary badassery all the more. Done badly, it may leave the audience wondering if they just caught the Distress Ball today. Done too often, the hero will start to lose the audience's sympathy, and their reputation as a mighty hero will seem exaggerated and undeserved. One way to avoid this is using the Worf Had the Flu trope, in which the plot provides a specific valid reason for why the hero was captured. Perhaps they were injured, ill, emotionally traumatized, or were defeated as a result of taking on overwhelming odds in an attempt to protect others. Or they might even have allowed themselves to be Captured on Purpose, either to protect their allies and give them time to escape, rescue a previously captured ally, try to persuade the more redeemable villains to do a Heelâ€“Face Turn, or simply get close enough to the villains to catch them off-guard. The Ineffectual Loner is often subject to this as a way of teaching An Aesop about working as a team and trusting The Power of Friendship. Having butted heads with their allies once too often and stormed off to work on their own, they usually fail spectacularly and have to be rescued, after which the Aesop has been taught and they can resume kicking ass. Compare Defiant Captive, for captives that may or may not be badass but still have the spirit to fight back. "Badass In Distress" is a major genre of Fan Fiction, even — or perhaps especially — when the Badass is so Bad that it requires a lot of Applied Phlebotinum to keep them under wraps.

Nero is almost captured after being beaten by Urizen during their second encounter. Luckily, Dante arrives just in time to free him and have Griffon carry him somewhere safe. More than halfway through the story, V is also cornered by Malphas before he is rescued by Nero.

Badass in Distress / int_1aacbbc9	comment	In the Dragon Age series: Can happen to the player character in Dragon Age: Origins. You don't have to wait around to be rescued, but some of the funniest cutscenes in the game occur if you do. Of course, the more stubborn, proud, or simply skilled players will likely never go to that point unless they intentionally lose (or surrender) to That One Boss. It happens again in the DLC Dragon Age: Origins â€“ Awakening, when the Warden-Commander and their entire party are captured by the Architect. Although he means them no harm, his lackeys are another story, and the Commander has to run around to find the other three and help them escape from the silverite mines where they're all being held. Unlike the situation in the base game, this particular incident cannot be avoided. In Dragon Age II, this happens to Hawke and Tallis, both powerful fighters in their own right, during one of the DLC missions. They get captured by Duke Prosper and decide to wait for Hawke's companions to rescue them. Tallis finally gets fed up with waiting and opens the doors herself. This doesn't happen to the Inquisitor in Dragon Age: Inquisition, but it does happen to an entire unit of Inquisition soldiers. Word comes from a soggy location called the Fallow Mire that an Avvar chieftain's son has taken the soldiers hostage because he wants to fight the Inquisitor. One of the other Avvar, a friendly one who wants no quarrel with the Inquisition, observes that the soldiers put up an extremely skillful fight before they were taken.

Badass in Distress / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem Gaiden and its remake Fire Emblem Echoes have the local Lady of War, Mathilda. Due to everyone in that game automatically having a weapon regardless of what's in their inventory, the battle starts off with her killing the archers who are supposed to execute her, as the player begins advancing towards the fort she's captured in. If she survives the stage, she will be one of the best Paladins in the whole game. Zeke is a badass Black Knight who is being Forced into Evil by the General Ripper Jerome, who's holding Zeke's girlfriend and partner Tatiana hostage. The group must both defeat the Vain Sorceress Nuibaba and free Tatiana if the player wants to get Zeke on their side. In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, Eliwood's father Elbert is the most powerful Paladin in Pherae, but has been missing from before Eliwood and Hector entered the plot. It turns out to be this, as he's been captured by Nergal who has sacrificing him to get his Life Energy among his plans. While Elbert is rescued by Eliwood and Co., he soon dies from his injuries - but not before almost killing Nergal. In Fire Emblem Fates, during Xander and Charlotte's supports, the Warrior Prince Xander can be caught off-guard by a Faceless when he doesn't have his Cool Sword handy. If this happens, the Cute Bruiser Charlotte takes action and kills the Faceless with her bare hands, much to Xander's awe.

Really, they all take turns being in distress and being badass about it. Neal and Peter both in too many episodes to count {Neal alone is kidnapped in Bottlenecked, Under the Radar, and Checkmate while Peter is kidnapped in Payback, Under the Radar, and Shoot the Moon. Then there's El being kidnapped in Checkmate and Shoot the Moon, Sara being taken hostage in Pulling Strings, Jones being taken hostage in On Guard...} And all of them play a large role in their own escape. Not to mention Diana, who doesn't even get to the point of distress in her hero shots.

She broke from her bonds on her own, then gets put into a cage, but finally destroyed the source of the book's illusion source, destroying the book and getting out on her own. To some, that episode became quite the fan favorite (for a show at the age) and her Moment of Awesome.

Badass in Distress / int_2e3e7ac2	comment	Justice League Batman is captured by Lex Luthor's Injustice Gang, and held captive for the majority of the episode while the rest of the league tries to find Luthor. He spends the whole time playing the gang's members against each other and undermining their trust. When the League does show up and everything's going to hell, Joker tries to take the opportunity to finally off Batman... who is no longer restrained, and reveals he could've gotten out whenever he wanted, but stuck around to keep an eye on things. Brainiac's assault on Apokolips, in which Darkseid requests the League's help is revealed to be a trap for Superman, and he is captured at Brainiac's asteroid base. Brainiac intends to use Superman to become a living being...while Darkseid is revealed to have to his own designs for Brainiac in the search for the Anti-Life Equation. Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, Wonder Woman and Batman in tow with Orion work to free Superman and escape the asteroid base. It happens to the entire League in "Secret Society" - apparently - courtesy of Grodd's team of villains. Their escape (leading to the epic battle at the end) was the result of J'onn J'onzz disguising himself as Clayface during the initial fight; the villains had actually grabbed the real Clayface, and didn't realize that the one they were dealing with was an imposter until it was too late.

Badass in Distress / int_2fee008d	comment	Kamina from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is The Ace, a big-ass Determinator, and Leeroy Jenkins in a mech. Problem is he can never win a fight on his own, and is constantly getting saved by Simon. He'd have died in episode 1 if Simon hadn't dug up from below to save him. He's not The Ace at anything but talking big. Which ultimately makes him come off as MORE BADASS than The Ace ever does. He is, at least, competent in hand to hand fighting. The one time he goes into battle solo against anything tougher than basic Mooks he dies. And he STILL manages to cure the Heroic BSoD that his death inflicts on Simon with a story he conveniently told Yoko mere hours before his death. Actually, Word Of God says he would have won that fight. He was also taken by surprise by Thymilph after snapping Simon out of his Heroic BSoD. Thymilph burst out from under him and mortally wounded him. He still manages to be badass even when dying. Word of God also says that he actually did die there for a second and essentially WILLED himself back to life.

In the first, he was trapped in a mirror world while his evil doppelganger ran around causing trouble. In the second he was possessed by Yin-Yarn. In the third, he was apparently converted into a robotic servant of the Haltmann Works Company (dubbed "Mecha Knight"), and Kirby has to fight him, twice. The second time he is fought, Meta Knight was eventually restored to his former self (with his mask breaking as a result), fleeing the scene. Even Kirby's former arch-enemy, King Dedede, was kidnapped in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. In the intro, an insect-like creature named Taranza wipes out all of King Dedede's soldiers and took the king high up into the floating islands of Floralia, prompting Kirby to rescue him from the clutches of the spider-like mage. When the pink puffball caught up with him in Royal Road, Taranza possesses King Dedede with his magic, turning him into Masked Dedede and forcing Kirby to snap him out of it. Later on, Kirby himself was caught up in the Big Bad's vines, only to be rescued by King Dedede and Taranza afterwards.

Badass in Distress / int_3717ea4a	comment	DC Animated Universe: In one Batman: The Animated Series episode Harley Quinn had kidnapped Batman, with the intent to kill him in a vat of piranhas, to woo the Joker. Batman convinces Harley to show the Joker just how well she's done, because the piranhas would leave no evidence. She does so, but much to her surprise, he flies into a tizzy about Batman being HIS to defeat, and, after punishing Harley for her insubordination (by tossing her out a window), frees Batman to finish the job himself. Batman planned for this exact reaction - he explains on the page image for Batman Gambit. Two episodes of Batman Beyond has Terry get kidnapped by the Villain of the Week. The first one has Inque use him as a hostage to lure Bruce into a trap so she can kill them both. And the second one was when his False Friend, Charlie, arranged his goons to capture him so he can convince him to join him in the criminal underworld. In an episode of Static Shock, Static is sent forty years into the future, where he helps Batman's successor rescue another superhero his future self. Justice League Batman is captured by Lex Luthor's Injustice Gang, and held captive for the majority of the episode while the rest of the league tries to find Luthor. He spends the whole time playing the gang's members against each other and undermining their trust. When the League does show up and everything's going to hell, Joker tries to take the opportunity to finally off Batman... who is no longer restrained, and reveals he could've gotten out whenever he wanted, but stuck around to keep an eye on things.

Naturally, Ash and co. are there to save him using the Phlebotinum of the week. What does he do after being rescued? He wipes the memory of at least 50 people simultaneously and moves part of a mountain, evacuates his Pokemon telekinetically to various places, and then produces hot air balloons to get the Rocket Trio and Ash and his friends to their destinations. He handles the whole thing with a fair amount of angst as per his character, but no pleading, no crying, and no caving in.

Every Ranger gets A Day in the Limelight (usually several) and this sort of situation is usually how it occurs. In the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers episode "Foul Play in the Sky", Kimberly is going for a flight with her uncle Steve. Rita sees this as an opportunity to kill Kimberly, and has Squatt and Baboo spike Steve's soda with a delayed-effect sleeping potion. Kimberly spends several minutes stuck on the plane, but with Alpha's help makes a Crash Course Landing and then saves her friends and single-handedly kills the Monster of the Week. In "Power Ranger Punks" she and Billy are confined to cages for most of the episode after Baboo spiked their fruit juice with a personality-deforming potion. Eventually they're cured, but Billy gets swallowed by the Terror Toad just like the others. Kimberly proceeds to free them and then kill the monster.

Since they take turns rescuing each other, there's a lot of Badassery to go around. The only one who doesn't get a turn is Tennyo (she was otherwise occupied having a Heroic BSoD).

Badass in Distress / int_4ab17360	comment	Inuyasha: Sesshoumaru is one of the most powerful characters in the series, but he has been in mortal situations a few times requiring to be saved by his sword's barrier a couple of times and by his younger brother Inuyasha in others. One of the worst happens towards the end when Naraku sends Magatsuhi, the dark will of the Shikon no Tama, for the last shard of the Shikon Jewel, that is being protected by Sesshoumaru, taking advantage of his "weaponless" state. Magatsuhi immediately exploits Sesshoumaru's one-armed status and succeeds. Inuyasha rescues him but not before his remaining arm is ripped to shreds. That doesn't stop Magatsuhi, rendering Inuyasha's sword useless, stabbing Sesshoumaru through the chest, and capturing both. Not only does Sesshoumaru not die, but he comes back even stronger than before. Inuyasha himself needs to rely on friends sometimes for help. It's part of his learning curve that, for him, he does need to have friends he can trust. It's also part of Sesshoumaru's learning curve that he has to learn his father's plan for him all along was to understand that it doesn't matter how powerful Inuyasha is, he's still a halfbreed and therefore needs his big brother's help from time to time. This lesson culminates in a Die or Fly test of character where Sesshoumaru promises Inuyasha he'll abandon both Tessaiga and Tenseiga if Inuyasha proves once and for all that Tessaiga belongs to him. Sesshoumaru finally gets the proof he needs causing Naraku to interfere and use his poison to ensure Inuyasha gets trapped unconscious in Sesshoumaru's meidou. Sesshoumaru dives into the meidou to save Inuyasha, voluntarily sacrifices his meidou power and entire sword so it can become Inuyasha's power, and then has to rely on Inuyasha to save them both in return. Also in the Inuyasha series, Sango, a professional demon slayer, is rescued by Miroku on a few occasions. The most notable involves a fight between the two of them in which Miroku is nearly killed by her while freeing her from demon control. Later in the series, she returns the favor by destroying her own weapon to rescue him from demon attackers, resulting in a story arc to get it fixed.

However, he suffers two cases of being captured, first being defeated by Aoi and is used as a hostage to lower Recca's morale and stays unconscious until rescued, but he later makes it up by forcing Hiruko, who was on the same level of Aoi, into a draw. Then he gets hit AGAIN when Big Bad Wannabe Marie managed to drug him by luck and strap him into a contrapment, waiting for Domon and Recca to rescue him and rained with taunts and ridicule. Just so they make sure they didn't think of him decayed, he is pitted against his master Meguri Kyouza, who even on deathbed instills fear on both Aoi and Hiruko and could've beaten Kurei if it wasn't for the deathbed tidbits... and Mikagami outsmarts and comes out victorious against him.

Hawkeye manages to escape the blast of the Chitauri bomb at the office building, but now he's clinging from debris, with another soldier in his other hand, and four Chitauri about to shoot him. Black Widow made a super window jump, got the gun thrown from a helicopter above, and shot down the Chitauri, saving Hawkeye. The Wasp, under medical care after Pym's wifebeating incident, did not join the Ultimates in Micronesia and stayed at the base. She was captured by the Chitauri when they made their move, so Black Widow had to rescue her when the team got back. Ultimate FF: Sue can not defend herself from the alternate dimension cyclop monsters while she is giving birth, for obvious reasons. So everybody is out there to protect her. Ultimate X-Men Nick Fury was captured in India. SHIELD had to ask Weapon X to send their agents to rescue him. Also in the flashback in Kuwait during the Gulf War.

Anakin manages to use the Force to rescue both of them, passing the Father's test. "Shadow Warrior": General Grievous is captured by the Gungan army, and Anakin is captured by Count Dooku, roughly simultaneously. A prisoner swap is subsequently arranged where both of them are returned to their respective sides. At the end of "Slaves of the Republic", Anakin, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and Rex have all been captured while on an undercover mission to Zygerria in search of enslaved Togruta colonists from Kiros. They've also been split up, Anakin made to serve Queen Miraj, Ahsoka kept in a cage outside the queen's palace, and Obi-Wan and Rex sent to the Kadavo system for a round of Break the Badass. In the next episode, "Escape from Kadavo", Anakin manages to escape with R2's help, then he gets Ahsoka and they go to Kadavo to rescue Obi-Wan, Rex and the colonists, with backup, of course. "A Distant Echo": Not long after arriving on Skako Minor, Anakin gets abducted by a native Poletec warrior riding a giant flying lizard called a keeradak, dropping his lightsaber in the process while being carried away too quickly to telekinetically retrieve it. It's thus up to Rex and the Bad Batch to rescue him.

However he often needed being rescued either because he had fallen into a trap or because the odds were brutally against him. It happened several times in Great Mazinger, UFO Robo Grendizer and Mazinkaiser, but it was specially glaring in UFO Robo Grendizer, where he was demoted from The Leader to The Lancer, and instead of a Humongous Mecha he piloted a support unit. However usually he was saved by a Big Damn Heroes moment from Sayaka, Boss, Tetsuya or Duke, so even when he was in danger, usually it ended up in a Moment of Awesome. His adoptive brother, Tetsuya Tsurugi also found in that position at least once and he had to be saved by his father's Heroic Sacrifice. Duke Fleed also was captured sometimes. Tetsuya goes for another in the original series' Distant Sequel Mazinger Z: Infinity where after an impressive display of One-Man Army battle against a massive horde of improved Battle Beasts while being forbidden to use one of his most destructive tools out of concern of civilian casualities, Tetsuya finally went down and found himself and his Great Mazinger grafted into the titular Mazinger Infinity which was stolen by Dr. Hell and had his battle data copied to Infinity to empower it. It took the majority of the movie for Kouji and his now grown-up little brother Shiro, who used to be powerless and more likely to be rescued by Tetsuya himself or Kouji back in the days, to bail him out and even after rescue, Tetsuya launched one Thunder Break (along with Shiro) against Dr. Hell for good measure.

Despite presumably getting tortured, they still are able to tank a few bullets, and if they lose all their HP? They still hang on for 20 seconds during which you can apply first aid to get them back to their feet.

Badass in Distress / int_610a694a	comment	The Yellow arc of PokÃ©mon Adventures features Red captured by the Elite Four. Mewtwo in PokÃ©mon: Mewtwo Returns. He spends the first movie being a total badass villain, and never being defeated. He has a few badass moments in the sequel, where he fends off Team Rocket. Even when he's captured due to some PokÃ©mon being held hostage, he never gives in, resisting the pain of the device being used at him nearly at the expense of his life. Naturally, Ash and co. are there to save him using the Phlebotinum of the week. What does he do after being rescued? He wipes the memory of at least 50 people simultaneously and moves part of a mountain, evacuates his Pokemon telekinetically to various places, and then produces hot air balloons to get the Rocket Trio and Ash and his friends to their destinations. He handles the whole thing with a fair amount of angst as per his character, but no pleading, no crying, and no caving in. In the series proper, Team Rocket tries to target badasses most of the time, and sometimes they succeed (for Act I, at least). Pikachu in particular, badass enough to hold his own against nearly any opponent, frequently gets locked up in electricity-proof balls so the rest of the team has to save him. The instant he's not inhibited, he sends Team Rocket flying.

Badass in Distress / int_629cd094	comment	Can happen to the player character in Dragon Age: Origins. You don't have to wait around to be rescued, but some of the funniest cutscenes in the game occur if you do. Of course, the more stubborn, proud, or simply skilled players will likely never go to that point unless they intentionally lose (or surrender) to That One Boss. It happens again in the DLC Dragon Age: Origins â€“ Awakening, when the Warden-Commander and their entire party are captured by the Architect. Although he means them no harm, his lackeys are another story, and the Commander has to run around to find the other three and help them escape from the silverite mines where they're all being held. Unlike the situation in the base game, this particular incident cannot be avoided.

Badass in Distress / int_684610	comment	Jin and Makoto of BlazBlue take turns in this trope - the badass doing the saving is the other one. In Slight Hope, Jin is in far too bad a shape to fight back against Hazama, who had come along with the intention of killing him. Rather than sit back and watch it happen, Makoto parries the hit and fights Hazama in Jin's place. Hazama "wins" (then again, Hazama), but Jin bails her out, having recovered enough strength to freeze Hazama in his tracks. In Decision, Hazama catches Jin and Makoto chatting - oddly enough, he came down to deal with Jin personally (having commented that Phantom buggered up, as Jin "smells like cat"), but he changes his mind and tries to kill Makoto, only for Jin to block the hit instead. Again, Hazama "wins", but Jin freezes him again and both bail shortly thereafter. Makoto was the "damsel" as she was playing under radar and knew Jin was not fond of Intel due to events in Slight Hope; thus she had to lower her guard to prevent a reprisal.

His brother, Felix, is usually a pretty badass wizard himself, but when his skills are counteracted in Melusine and later in Corambis, he variously gets mind raped, really raped, magic-robbed, driven temporarily insane, half-drowned by vigilantes, dragged through a gauntlet, charged with treason, locked in prison and later a madhouse, threatened with death by burning, and, to top it all off, given a Traumatic Haircut.

Fortunately, adventurers rarely travel alone. A creature grappled by a Mind flayers tentacles has a chance of being stunned for the duration of the grapple, leaving them unable to fight back as the monster devours their brain or drags them away for psionic enslavement or to use as a host. A clever dungeon master can use a fast monster with a grappling rider for this by grabbing a victim, pummelling them into unconsciousness and dragging them away to its lair to be eaten later.

Badass in Distress / int_6b85085e	comment	Mortal Kombat examples: Mortal Kombat II: Sonya and Kano are chained up in Kahn's arena and Forced to Watch as the tournament takes place; the biggest reason, in Sonya's case, is because Jax is there. One comic book adaptation claims that Shao Kahn plans to brainwash Sonya into becoming his queen; in any case, she's rescued between this game and the next. Three important parts of the Story Mode of Mortal Kombat 9 involve the hero who's the focus of the chapter rescuing one of the other heroes from Shao Kahn's forces. The first time is in Sonya's chapter, where she has to rescue Jax from Shang-Tsung's dungeons. Later, in Jax's chapter, the roles are reversed, and he has to rescue her after she is taken prisoner after the conclusion of the first tournament. The third occasion spans two chapters: After Kitana is sentenced to death after Mileena is "born", Jade's chapter involves Jade trying to rescue her; she is unable to so, resulting in the crisis continuing into Kung Lao's chapter, where the Earthrealm warriors interrupt her execution, and she is rescued by Liu Kang. In Mortal Kombat X, Johnny Cage is captured by D'Vora about halfway through the game and spends the rest of it wrapped up in a cocoon (with her grubs chewing on his face) before being rescued by his daughter at the climax.

Badass in Distress / int_70814599	comment	Basically every character in Stargate SG-1 has this happen to them at some point or another: Samantha Carter is kidnapped by a dying millionaire, who found out about her time as host to an alien symbiote and hopes to dissect her in order to learn how it affected her physiology. She spends much of the episode trying to rescue herself (with escalating badassery), but is eventually saved by the rest of the team. This, however, doesn't diminish her badassness one bit. Jack O'Neill gets his turn at this when he's captured by Ba'al and repeatedly tortured to death over the course of the episode. He continues to wisecrack at Ba'al during the process, though he was clearly starting to run out of endurance near the end. The rest of the team manages to persuade a mutual enemy to assist in attacking Ba'al's base, allowing Jack to escape. Teal'c gets captured by Heru'ur's forces and is continuously tortured by one of his underlings. Despite this, Teal'c refuses to acknowledge the Goa'uld as gods. This causes the man who betrayed him in the first place to make a Heelâ€“Face Turn and assist him in escape. (The same character shows up later as a determined La RÃ©sistance fighter, clearly inspired by Teal'c's defiance.) Daniel Jackson is captured and tortured by Honduran rebels while on a mission to find an important alien device that, as it turns out, had been left on Earth. Because Daniel has gone through a lot and and Taken A Level In Badass by this time, he handles the treatment spectacularly and manages to make an escape, but not before his more sheltered colleague breaks down and tells everything. Fortunately Jack had already been sent to rescue them and gets there as they are running from the crazed rebels (and a zombie). Moving on to Stargate Atlantis, John Sheppard, as badass as O'Neill, seems to be the go-to guy for getting into distress. On one notable occassion he gets captured by his arch-nemesis Acastus Kolya and tortured by having a captive Wraith continuously drain his life force. Eventually, Sheppard makes a deal with the Wraith, and they break out. The Wraith shows himself to be honorable by returning Sheppard's life force (and more). Also, this Wraith? It's Todd, himself a badass, so this trope works for him too. Other episodes have John crippled by alien bugs, trapped in a time-locked planet, held prisoner by space travellers and held hostage and/or tortured by the Genii a few more times, while his co-leader Elizabeth makes several sadistic choices with his life on the line. To his credit he suffers through all of them with snark and escape attempts aplenty.

It takes the combined badassitude of Sokka, Zuko, Hakoda, Suki, Chit Sang, and Mai and Ty Lee for the rescue to be successful. Then there is the entire "The Blue Spirit" episode where Aang is being held hostage. Until he's rescued by Zuko.

Several cutscenes depict him falling to his knees and clutching his chest in pain as he fights for control of his body. Twice he winds up being rescued as well, once when he accidentally turns into Chaos and collapses from the exertion and has to be rescued by Shalua, and another time when Rosso rips the protomateria out of his chest and he has to be rescued by Yuffie.

Badass in Distress / int_7988cb68	comment	Mass Effect: At the beginning, two of the teammates you have to recruit, Tali and Liara, are in trouble and you have to save them from some attackers. In Tali's case it's a few thugs, and in Liara's case it's a Krogan Battlemaster and several Geth troopers. After they get on your squad however, they start pulling their own weight and generally kicking ass. In the sequel, to recruit Garrus and Tali again, you have to save them again, this time from much bigger threats. With Tali, it's several hundred Geth Troopers and a Colossus (basically a giant sentient robotic spider tank), and with Garrus it's wave after wave of mercenaries from three different criminal groups. Similar to the last game, they go back to being badass after the rescue. Indeed, Garrus never stopped being badass, popping off headshot after headshot, killing dozens of mercenaries over the course of three days. He was simply in danger of being overrun. While not anywhere near to the same extent as Garrus, Tali didn't appear to be going down without a fight either, as in the room you find her in, she's alone with several dead geth troopers on the floor and a shotgun on her desk. Applies to almost every squadmate actually. For example, Thane admits that he would've been killed by Nassana's guards had Shepard not been there, Legion is taken down by husks and has to be physically carried back to the ship, and Jack is rescued from a Blue Suns prison ship, where she's in cryo-stasis. Garrus however is unique in that he's the only squadmate who will actively fight with you in gameplay during the mission itself. In The Arrival DLC for Mass Effect 2, Shepard is incapacitated and captured by those under Reaper indoctrination, after potentially wiping out a few hundred of them first. They proceed to underestimate Shepard's Determinator status and the sedatives stop working eventually.

Badass in Distress / int_7ac43256	comment	Lamia Loveless in Super Robot Wars: Original Generation at first is well known for her serious and analytical personality. The fact that she has some of the better Super Robot, has a high position and is the most senior of the new Aggressors (only Kai is more senior than her) all points out that she is one of the more badass characters. Yet, in OG Gaiden, she is captured by the ODE while having no way to enter her mech, spurred the rest of the EFA to rescue her, ends up getting shot down near dead by an Big Bad Wannabe, Came Back Wrong by another enemy and even spurring an ex-enemy of hers to rescue her, making it look like she got hit by Chickification. Fortunately for her, once she recovered, it doesn't take another game for her to be active in battlefield again and her skills did not deteriorate, she's still the same effective soldier she was in the previous titles. Touya Shiun in The Moon Dwellers gets kidnapped quite a bit in the game because the Fury want to recover his mech that badly. Though he does have an excuse as why to he gets kidnapped: the Fury resort to stopping time just to kidnap the guy and the Granteed can't stop time because it doesn't have any Larselium inside it.

Super Princess Peach is this trope turned into a game. The premise is after all is for the local, daily Damsel in Distress Princess Peach to save the day, saving the local, daily hero Mario, now turned Distressed Dude. It only lasts for one game. In Super Mario 64 DS, Mario actually starts out kidnapped by Bowser (along with Luigi and Wario). You start off as Yoshi, who was Late to the Tragedy. In all three Luigi's Mansion games, Mario is kidnapped by King Boo.

In Godzilla (2014), he's visibly losing the fight against the two MUTOs once they start tag-teaming against him, until the HALO team blowing up the MUTOs' nest causes the female to abandon fighting Godzilla, enabling Godzilla to solely face down the male MUTO with a regained advantage. In Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), the tide of the Final Battle gradually turns against him due to an implicit combination of Ghidorah empowering itself using the Boston power grid and Godzilla's Phlebotinum Overdose beginning to weaken him. It leads to Ghidorah killing Mothra and Ghidorahquickly wearing Godzilla down to the point that Godzilla is helpless when Ghidorah begins inflicting Vampiric Draining him. This forces the Russell family to use the ORCA's alpha frequency to distract Ghidorah and make it abandon Godzilla to pursue the signal, giving Godzilla ample time to reach his Super Mode before Ghidorah could have fully drained him. And in Godzilla vs. Kong, he ends up faring poorly during the Final Battle against Mechagodzilla, due to his previous battle against Kong and him blasting a tunnel halfway through the planet to the Hollow Earth both severely weakening him. Mechagodzilla more or less beats Godzilla, and Godzilla is saved at the last second from execution by Kong's intervention.

Badass in Distress / int_90b916ba	comment	In one Batman: The Animated Series episode Harley Quinn had kidnapped Batman, with the intent to kill him in a vat of piranhas, to woo the Joker. Batman convinces Harley to show the Joker just how well she's done, because the piranhas would leave no evidence. She does so, but much to her surprise, he flies into a tizzy about Batman being HIS to defeat, and, after punishing Harley for her insubordination (by tossing her out a window), frees Batman to finish the job himself. Batman planned for this exact reaction - he explains on the page image for Batman Gambit.

Due to everyone in that game automatically having a weapon regardless of what's in their inventory, the battle starts off with her killing the archers who are supposed to execute her, as the player begins advancing towards the fort she's captured in. If she survives the stage, she will be one of the best Paladins in the whole game. Zeke is a badass Black Knight who is being Forced into Evil by the General Ripper Jerome, who's holding Zeke's girlfriend and partner Tatiana hostage. The group must both defeat the Vain Sorceress Nuibaba and free Tatiana if the player wants to get Zeke on their side.

She also doesn't accomplish much without Dante, being captured by Arius and staying behind while he enters the portal to Hell. She does, however, kill Arius when he returns as a demon. In Devil May Cry 4, Nero is absorbed into the Savior midway through the game. It takes Dante jamming Yamato into the giant statue's crystal to rescue and wake Nero up inside. In DmC: Devil May Cry, Vergil is powerful enough to be the final boss but gets in trouble a few times throughout the game. In the first instance, he's cornered by a demon and has to be saved by Dante (mainly because Vergil can't use his powers without outing himself as a Nephilim - which would give away their trump card to Mundus). The second time is during the fight with Mundus, where Mundus sucks him into the vortex and keeps him there until Dante busts him out. Much to Morrison and Nero's surprise, Dante, Trish and Lady are actually defeated by Urizen in the prologue of Devil May Cry 5, with both girls getting captured by Urizen via the Qliphoth's roots, and Dante being MIA and assumed dead by most characters until he was found by V, albeit in a coma. Nero is almost captured after being beaten by Urizen during their second encounter. Luckily, Dante arrives just in time to free him and have Griffon carry him somewhere safe. More than halfway through the story, V is also cornered by Malphas before he is rescued by Nero.

It ends in tragedy, since he dies several minutes after being liberated by his brother Luffy. Can be seen as a Deconstructed Trope, as being a badass released from captivity is not a guarantee that you'll survive the experience in the end. Nico Robin during Enies Lobby also qualifies; having previously established her badass credentials several times over. Her inner darkness catches up with her, and becomes a Deliberately Distressed Damsel until she regains the will to live. Lampshaded after Fukurou reveals that Robin has Sea Prism Stone handcuffs on and is thus unable to use her powers, despite having resolved the personal issues that led her to surrender to CP9 for the Straw Hats' safety. Trafalgar Law goes through this during the Dressrosa arc where he gets forced into a fight with a Warlord and an Admiral, then captured, interrogated, and chained with sea prism stone. Luffy manages to rescue him... but doesn't get the key for the sea prism handcuffs, which coupled with exhaustion means Law essentially gets carried all over the island until they finally get the key and he can participate again. Following the events of Dressrosa, Sanji was taken captive by Capone Gang Bege, who is working for Big Mom. Who wants Sanji to marry one of her daughters in order to unite the Big Mom Pirates with the assassins of Sanji's family.

Badass in Distress / int_ac07f986	comment	Super Friends. Wonder Woman tended to be kidnapped, brainwashed etc. more frequently than the rest of the Super Friends. 1973/74 season. In "The Baffles Puzzle" she was trapped at the bottom of a pit by a Surprise Slide Staircase and had to be rescued by Superman. In "The Menace of the White Dwarf" she was pursuing Raven in her invisible jet when he used the extreme gravity of the white dwarf fragment to render her unconscious. When she plummeted out of control, Superman caught her jet and saved her. In later seasons she was often subject to the Legion of Doom's machinations.

Badass in Distress / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit) involves Tails getting kidnapped by Dr. Eggman. The game's about Sonic trying to rescue him. Whether or not he succeeds depends on whether or not he managed to collect all of the Chaos Emeralds. Sonic Adventure 2: Sonic escapes from GUN once, but is captured again partly due to Shadow. He gets rescued by Tails and Amy, and proceeds to kick ass. The game culminates in Shadow calling him the Ultimate Lifeform, a title Shadow once claimed for himself, if you take long enough against the final boss. Guess which one of three characters survives that final battle with their memory intact? It sure isn't Shadow, and we know it wasn't the FinalHazard. In Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, the first part of the game revolves around the kidnapping of Knuckles. Subverted in that when the party reach where he was being held hostage, he has just finished escaping by himself. In Sonic Lost World, Tails gets captured by the Deadly Six about halfway through the game. Like Knuckles, he saved himself, but also managed to fool his captors into thinking they'd won. In Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Rouge was captured early on in Shadow's story. Subverted as she managed to get out before Shadow could rescue her, though she sounds as if she wanted to be rescued when Shadow does find her. In the same game, one of the trials for Silver involve him rescuing Blaze from some enemies within a time frame. In Sonic Forces, Sonic himself gets taken away into the Death Egg for six months, after being defeated at the hands of returning villains and new face Infinite. The Resistance comes up with a plan to break Sonic out of custody with the help of the Avatar.

Believe it or not, in one of the original episodes of that show where Batman and Robin guest stared, they had to be rescued, after being tricked into falling into a deep pit with glass-like smooth walls that were impossible to climb on their own. (Of course, given that two real villains, the Joker and the Penguin were the culprits this time, rather than some crook in a monster suit, it's understandable.)

One or more of the Bat kids getting kidnapped is so common that their usual reaction to such a thing happening is to basically sigh and say "This again?" Made funnier when one remembers that they are all highly-trained vigilantes who can escape the traps of garden-variety criminals with ease, but are often forced to pretend to be helpless so as not to blow their cover. In the chapter "New Friends...?", Spider-Man and Signal have to come to Harley's rescue after she's beaten nearly unconscious by Black Mask's enforcers. In "R & R", Batman is attacked and suffers from a severe stab wound, forcing him to call Spider-Man for backup.

When Mirage reports a confirmed hit with no survivors, Bob is left to face the agony that his family is dead and Syndrome leaves him to suffer in his grief. As the movie is a Deconstruction of the standard superhero story, Bob does not immediately bounce back after facing his Darkest Hour. When Mirage has her Heelâ€“Face Turn and releases Bob from his restraints, he immediately lashes out in his anguish and despair, grabbing her by the throat and willing to choke the life out of her. Only her revelation that his family is still alive saves her.

Released from bondage and within five minutes has completely owned the Master and undone the events of the previous year. This happens to the Doctor again in "The End of Time": In "The Pandorica Opens", the Doctor is trapped in the ultimate prison â€” the titular Pandorica. It takes Rory (with, admittedly, some help from a future Doctor) to break him out. In "Let's Kill Hitler", the Doctor is dying slowly and painfully after being poisoned by River Song. She then has to rescue Amy and Rory, as the Doctor is too weak to do it himself. After he dies, she brings him back by sacrificing all her remaining regenerations. The Doctor is again incapacitated in "The Name of the Doctor" when the Great Intelligence enters his tomb and scatters himself throughout the Doctor's timeline. It is now Clara's turn to save him by jumping into the Doctor's timestream herself. River Song's codename for the Doctor is "Damsel". Because he always gets into trouble. Considering the Doctor is the most badass character in the Whoniverse, when Twelve finds his out, he is most put out. "Twice Upon a Time" ends with the freshly-regenerated Doctor getting thrown out of the TARDIS high above Earth and seemingly falling to her death.

Badass in Distress / int_cb6abea3	comment	This happens a fair number of times in Yu-Gi-Oh! and its sequel series, usually as part of The Worf Effect. If Kaiba counts (an Anti-Hero, probably, but still Badass) it happens to him in the first season of Yu-Gi-Oh! when his attempt to rescue Mokuba fails, requiring Yugi to bail him out. And again during Legendary Heroes Arc, and again during the Virtual Nightmare Arc. (Clearly, Kaiba's constant refusal to accept help attributed to him getting in trouble each times. Fortunately, Mokuba had more sense in that regard.) In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Kaiser Ryo, one of the few opponents Judai could never truly defeat, was held hostage by Camilla and hos soul trapped in a doll for two episodes; he only lost because he surrendered to save Sho, but it still counts.

The team, thus, must rescue Morgan from the Spicer house before they can continue with the investigation. It may not be the conventional way to do it, but "Profiler, Profiled" saw Morgan being sent to jail on a tip by the episode's UnSub, forcing the team to investigate in order to secure his release. Hotch was also beaten in a fight by Foyet in "Nameless, Faceless" and tortured with multiple non-fatal stabbings.

The Wasp, under medical care after Pym's wifebeating incident, did not join the Ultimates in Micronesia and stayed at the base.

Used her wrist wraps to hang on to the bars on the top of the box to avoid electrocution, pretended that he knocked her out, and utterly kicked their arses in the moment they opened the box, then escaped Amon himself. This is after she spent roughly a night and a day in that box, without anything to eat or drink. She also gets kidnapped by Zaheer and his gang in "The Terror Within" after she and Naga were tranqulized with shirshu darts. If it weren't for Pabu, they would have gotten away. And for the rest of the fight scene, Korra stays mostly unconscious until she gets rescued.

Badass in Distress / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow toward the end of season 3, when she's starting to get her witchiness on. She's captured by the Mayor's people. She lures a vampire into attacking her so she can kill him. With a pencil. She risks her life further when she goes after the Mayor's dark books and learns what the gang needs to know about the Ascension. She faces down Faith. When she gets rescued, it turns out she has crucial pages about the Ascension hidden in her boot. Other lesser examples include "Helpless" and "Halloween," although the circumstances are extenuating: in "Helpless", Buffy is de-powered by the Watcher's Council and is forced to play the helpless victim; she's rescued from a vampire mook by Giles in the end. Of course Buffy is still Buffy and holds her own against the deadlier foe. In "Halloween", Buffy is transformed into an 18th century damsel and needs constant rescuing and reassurance, but it's not really Buffy who's helpless. There was also the time Faith and "Angelus" captured her. Had Angel actually been Angelus, she would have been in serious trouble. In "Crush", Spike and Drusilla taser Buffy, who is then chained up along with Drusilla as part of Spike's plan to choose a love interest (and which one gets to live). It goes wrong and Buffy fights off Drusilla while in chains, until Spike helps.

On one notable occassion he gets captured by his arch-nemesis Acastus Kolya and tortured by having a captive Wraith continuously drain his life force. Eventually, Sheppard makes a deal with the Wraith, and they break out. The Wraith shows himself to be honorable by returning Sheppard's life force (and more). Also, this Wraith? It's Todd, himself a badass, so this trope works for him too. Other episodes have John crippled by alien bugs, trapped in a time-locked planet, held prisoner by space travellers and held hostage and/or tortured by the Genii a few more times, while his co-leader Elizabeth makes several sadistic choices with his life on the line. To his credit he suffers through all of them with snark and escape attempts aplenty.

"I don't need your help anyway." And it's quite often that once he's freed, he'll either shoot or exorcise his captors dead, and his faith (as rude as it may be) unshaken.

The second time, Goku had falling ill to the heart virus and lost his Super Saiyan form. Android 19 pinned him and began to suck his energy, slowly killing him. All of Goku's friends rushed to save him, with Vegeta being the one to do it. Finally near the end of the Cell Games, Goku was getting his butt beat by a Cell Jr, he was exhausted from his battle with Cell and was doing worst than the human fighters. Yamcha and Tien had to protect him. Vegeta gets this a few times himself. He was saved by Krillin and Gohan when Recoome was ready to kill him with his Eraser Gun. He wasn't happy for the rescue. Later in the Cell Games, Gohan lost the use of his arm protecting Vegeta from a fatal blast from Cell. And at the tail end of the Kid Buu fight, he was pinned down by Buu to keep Goku from throwing the Spirit Bomb. It was the combine effects of Fat Buu and Mr. Satan that saved him. In the Buu Saga, Vegeta and Goku fought their way through Buu's body to rescue Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Piccolo.

Badass in Distress / int_ed2a7866	comment	Asuna from Sword Art Online is put in this role in the Fairy Dance arc. Her then-fiance Sugou intercepted her and 300 other SAO players after the game was cleared and trapped them within ALO, and kept her in particular locked in a giant bird at the top of the World Tree. However, she manages to figure out the code to the lock on her cage, times her escape so that Sugou wouldn't notice her escaping and managed to make it to a terminal where she could log out before she got caught, and even after she got locked back in her cage, she still managed to grab the admin keycard at the terminal.

Badass in Distress / int_ee65fc7b	comment	Rin gets hit with this twice in the Fate/Stay Night fanfic Path of the King. It's subverted both times: The first is during an encounter with a pack of thugs in a dark alley. Rin isn't even vaguely intimidated by them but she's with several muggle friends who might get hurt unless she breaks The Masquerade and uses her magecraft in front of them. Shirou makes a Dynamic Entry before her hand is forced. The second time comes at the end of the first arc when Rin is kidnapped by the original master of Caster for a brainwashing ritual. While the villain is distracted fighting Shirou, Rin coughs up a handful of gems she swallowed earlier (having anticipated the trap that caught her) and blasts her way out on her own.

Badass in Distress / int_ee829854	comment	House of Anubis- when Patricia gets kidnapped by the villian, she still manages to keep being the strong character she is and does everything she can to escape, from leaving a clue behind when she was taken to trying to knockout the villian. Despite this, it is her friends who end up rescuing her. (After two of them have to be saved themselves after a first failed rescue attempt). Immediately following her rescue Patricia goes on to furiously blackmail one of the teachers into telling the secret about her missing friend.

But even after being manhandled by Kitiara and with Takhisis, in her five headed dragon form, towering over her, Laurana stays defiant and, when the chance presents itself, breaks free, steals Kitiara's weapon, and single handedly fights her way out of the chamber, setting off an Enemy Civil War in the process.

Badass in Distress / int_f3e1f424	comment	Merlin (2008): Arthur is constantly needing to be saved by Merlin, despite being one of the greatest swordsmen in the series and capable of holding off two lesser swordsmen blindfolded. It's pretty well justified by the fact that most of the threats are magical but the way Merlin got his job as Arthur's manservant was by saving his life, and after 52 episodes of this, Merlin's extremely jaded by it. As this show is a World of Badass and everyone has been in distress and needed to be saved at least once, you could call it a World of Badass In Distress. Even Merlin had to be rescued in "Tears of Uther Pendragon" and "Servant of Two Masters".

Badass in Distress / int_f724b70d	comment	Code Lyoko: The episode "Image Problem", Yumi - likely the most badass of the heroes at the time - is held captive by a Guardian while XANA sends a duplicate of her to cause trouble. (Possible the first time he used what would later be called a polymophic clone.) Eventually, Aelita and the others managed to find her, at which point she went back to the real world to deal with the impostor. (As she herself said, "This is between me and myself.") Happens again in "Ultimatum", with Odd along for the ride this time. The two of them are kidnapped by their XANA-possessed principal, who is literally able to manhandle them into submission, and end up Locked in a Freezer long enough that they can't fight back. The entire Season 4 is also an example : William, who recently joined the team and has shown enormous potential, was brainwashed by XANA in the Season 3 finale and a major plot point of Season 4 is about rescuing him from XANA's clutches.
