Body-Count Competition | comment |
Both fiction and real life have massive battles between enormous armies consisting of thousands of soldiers. Such a battle will invariably result in obscene amounts of bloodshed, carnage, death, slaying, maiming, slaughtering, stubbing of toes, and generally any other word for mass killing you can think of. In the middle of it all will be these guys making sport of it, it's a must for Blood Knights, and/or Psychos For Hire who want to outcompete each other. They may be best friends or bitter rivals, or any other kind of relationship. One of them may propose a contest to see who's better. See which one of them can kill the most of the other side's Mooks. Right before a huge battle, or during one, they agree that whoever kills more Mooks is officially the better fighter, and has superior combat skills. The level of hostility in the challenge can vary from a friendly jest between comrades to the participants trying to kill each other as well during the ensuing ruckus. It can also be done when the two are simply infiltrating an enemy base by themselves or fending off a horde of enemies that ambushed them. It is a frequent subject of mini games and contests between players in certain video and tabletop games. Compare Back-to-Back Badasses, which may very well happen during the fight. Examples |

Devil May Cry 5: The second playable credits has Dante and Vergil fighting off the demons that interrupted their fight in the Demon World. As the scene comes to a close, a dialogue line plays depending on how much the player (as Dante) has defeated in contrast to Vergil, which reveals that even up until this point, they have been competing on who gets the most kills. The game has a hidden counter for this scene, and if you kill more enemies than Vergil, you unlock an alternate outfit for V. | |

Hellsinker has a kill counter on the HUD. Interestingly, killing parts of enemies rather than the enemy itself counts as individual kills. You get a special "Breakthrough" extra life at 2,500 kills, or 5,000 if you've already hit the Spirit Breakthrough. Subverted with the player base, in that those playing seriously generally ignore kill count (for purposes other than Breakthroughs) in favor of Spirits instead. Nonetheless, the fan-operated hellsinker. scoreboard displays kill counts for each entry alongside Spirit and Token counts, and can even be sorted by kill count. | |

In Hyrule Warriors, "KO competitions" are one of the mission types present in the adventure maps, mainly the Termina map. There are two variations: either you compete with the rogue forces to get a higher body count in a set amount of time (usually 7-10 minutes), or you compete to reach a certain score (which could be anywhere from 400 to 1000) before the rogue forces do. | |

Starship Troopers: Invasion has a variant: Trig keeps a running tally of every bug she kills with her custom rifle, a gift from her parents. The reason she keeps the tally? She wants to kill a bug for every person in her hometown, including her family, who were killed when the Bugs attacked and destroyed it. After she is killed, Bugspray takes up her weapon and picks up the count for her, during his last stand. | |

Afterwards, Lorca's rifle records 24 kills; Tyler claims he got 22, but Lorca checks his rifle and it reads 36. He then tells Tyler not to apologize for excellence and that he expects his chief of security to be a better shot. | |

His men assure him that it's not a competition.

In Attack on Titan, Thomas challenges Eren and the rest of the squad to one during their first battle. Instead, Thomas is the first member of the squad to be Eaten Alive and no one manages to score a kill before everything goes horribly wrong. While they aren't shown competing with each other for Titan kills, Eren establishes Levi's elite squad's reputation to the audience by mentioning their Titan and assist kills, suggesting they do keep count like real life flying aces or snipers. |

Warcraft In Warcraft III, Prince Arthas must prevent dreadlord Mal'Ganis from turning the sleeping occupants of a human city into an unstoppable army of the undead by finding and killing them himself first. (In his defense, they had already been infected by a plague which caused undead transformation.) A scoreboard at the top of the screen even keeps track of how many each of them has converted or culled while Arthas and his men set fire to their homes and slaughter them in the street. Is it any wonder that Arthas ends up becoming The Evil Prince? A quest in Sholazar Basin from "Wrath of the Lich King". Gets treated this way. The quest has you kill 50 of any beast in the basin in a race against the quest giver. He shows up at certain milestones to taunt you with his kill count, and is ahead of you by a considerable amount, then decides to take a nap, allowing you to surpass him in the meantime. |

Bounties in the Cambion Drift in Warframe may send you to meet Garv, a Grineer castaway who will challenge your team to a friendly competition to see who can kill most of the Infested. Two percentage bars will show up, one for Tenno and one for Garv and his fellow survivors, that fill up with every enemy killed. The bounty success depends on your team reaching 100% before the Grineer, preferably before the latter even reaches 50%. | |

DEFCON: Everybody Dies's particularly descriptive "GENOCIDE" mode is about racking up the highest body count (in megadeaths) in a game of global thermonuclear war.

Any co-op game of Dynasty Warriors has the potential to turn into this. And with Dynasty Warriors Online, It's a game mode! You and 3 other players, or A.I. players, go against 4 enemies to see who can commit mass genocide first, by defeating either 2000 or 3000 helpless soldiers between all 4 on that team, and a backup condition, should the main objective of other matches not be met, is also this but with no limit. As with above, they all have an actual incentive to do it even when it's not the game mode, as you will score a little more honor if you've killed more mooks than your team. | |

X-Wing Series In Rogue Squadron, naturally the fighter pilot protagonists compete over kills. Wedge Antilles has already racked up a ludicrous kill count before the story even starts, to the point that his fighter is painted with kill silhouettes representing 12 fighters each instead of the usual one silhouette for one kill because the support staff ran out of room on the side of his X-wing (plus two Death Stars). The rest of the newly-reconstituted Rogue Squadron are fresh recruits to New Republic Starfighter Command and compete among each other for the unofficial title of "best new pilot" since trying to catch up with Wedge would be futile; though some of them have piloting experience outside the military (one as a space cop, two as bounty hunters, one as a Rebel-affiliated mercenary), only kills as Rogue Squadron members are counted for the competition. The top scores at the end of the book are 22 kills for Bror Jace and 21 for protagonist Corran Horn. Comes up again in Wraith Squadron. In a Virtual Reality Training Simulation early on, a rule designed to encourage teamwork is invoked that gives credit for any kills to the pilot's wingman... which means Kell Tainer's "instant ace" five kills is given to "Runt" Ekwesh, whose Blood Knight tendency got him shot down early in the scenario. There's then a minor Running Gag where Kell doesn't manage to get any air-to-air kills for the entire rest of the book... until the final battle where he becomes an real-life instant ace, and makes a crack about Runt getting his kills again. |

In Mass Effect, Garrus' visor includes an optional mode that allows him to track the number of kills he has made in comparison to teammates whose suits are synced to his (though this information is only available from his dossier after completing the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC). If the player opted to romance Tali or Garrus, they can be found making one of these . Apparently it's not the first time they've done this; Tali won their last big competition, and is pretty confident about her chances in this one, much to Garrus's annoyance. The Citadel DLC for Mass Effect 3 has your entire squad split into two teams taking on an enemy army, and it quickly turns into the two teams trying to outscore the other... and Javik trying to outscore them both at once. |

Batman: Rogues Gallery villains the Trigger Twins liked to have little contests like this, though in one case where there were only two men, each killed by a different Trigger, Tom insisted that "Mine hit the ground first," and Tad answered "Mine was taller." This is in reference to the John Wayne film The War Wagon. Victor Zsasz keeps an obsessive count of the number of people he's "liberated", by carving marks into his own flesh. These marks are so important to him that, on one occasion when he thought he'd killed the Bat and made his mark, he went crazier than usual when he found out Batman had survived. Ditto when he made a mark for Alfred. |

Spoofed in Hot Shots! Part Deux. During a shootout, there is a counter running which declared at different numbers to have a bigger body count as other movies. At the end, the counter declares the movie to be the most brutal ever. The numbers are a joke, but the movie's real body count was still a record at the time with 114. Although they only fall down without any visible wounds (even the guy who gets splattered over a wall lacks regular injuries), making the "bloodiest" claim a complete lie. Which may have been a subtle joke in itself. | |

Xionic Madness: In the very first episode, Omega offers 15 terabytes to the member of Bolverk Squad who kills the most in their Suicide Mission. However, things escalate from there to the point that by the time all's said and done, nobody's in any condition to receive the prize. | |

Iji Annihilators have these. At times, they've attacked their own forces to up their kill count. You never see that in-game because after Ciretako (the most famous Annihilator friendly fire incident) the kill counters were removed and the annihilators were given new stimulants making them more likely to attack their enemies. They were removed, then put back when it was proved how much they improve combat performance. One log you can find has the Komato who wrote the kill count display shitting himself because the counter only has four characters and will eventually roll over from 9999 to 0, and he knows how that will end for him. Apparently Iosa the Invincible reported the bug once. Ansaksie plays with this trope: she has a body count competition with Iji, except the goal is to keep the numbers as low as possible. |

The Bible: A young David had to collect one hundred foreskins of the Philistines in order to earn the hand of King Saul's daughter Michal in marriage. So this is Older Than Feudalism. And then he went double for nothing and collected two hundred, which made him a cut above the rest. Given the Homoerotic Subtext between David and her brother Jonathan (2 Samuel 1:26), it might well have been fair payment...Squicky as it may be, collecting the foreskins of slain enemies was the surest way to tally up kills without cheating; men have two ears, ten fingers... only one foreskin. Lips and nose are one each, but they could come from women. Furthermore, Judeans were circumcised and Gentiles were not, so that meant David couldn't harvest from his own dead soldiers. This trope was actually the start of Saul's animosity toward David. At first he was impressed by David and promoted him to a high rank in the army. However, when people started to sing of David's combat prowess, saying "Saul has slain his thousands; David, his tens of thousands!" Saul didn't take it well. | |

Star Wars: The Old Republic, one of the Jedi Consular's companions is Qyzen Fess, a Trandoshan bounty hunter (and regular hunter) who keeps detailed counts of his enemies dispatched as part of his worship of the "Scorekeeper", a Trandoshan goddess of the hunt. At one point he encounters fellow companion Felix Iresso, a career soldier who values accomplishing the objective and then getting everyone out alive, and asks him which of the two has a higher kill count. Iresso confesses to the Consular that he actually doesn't know, as he considers it unimportant compared to missions completed, and wryly wonders if he should start keeping track. | |

Several of the Wing Commander games had a scoreboard on the ship, showing the kills of all the pilots on board. The wingmen would gain kills despite not going on missions (at least, not with you), and some were much better at killing than others. Maniac would sometimes have more kills than you even if you didn't take him with you, ever, in the later games. The manual to Prophecy mentions he had just hit 2001 career kills as the game begins. | |

One episode of Generator Rex, "The Swarm", featured this sort of contest between Rex and his buddy Bobo against a horde of Big Creepy-Crawlies. Bobo annihilated the most using firearms, but Rex won by a landslide by discovering how to cause the metal-consuming insects to devour each other, making him the winner. Knowing what a Sore Loser Bobo can be, as Rex guessed, the EVO Chimp let the News Channel expose to the entire world Rex's Goofy Print Underwear, Bonus points for the News channel mentioning it was a "smell collected from it" that saved the world. | |

In Warhammer 40,000, the Masque of Slaanesh manipulated Skarbrand into destroying the seal on the Ursulia webway portal, so that she could invade the Craftworld Biel-Tan, by tricking the insane Bloodthirster into a contest to see which of the exiled daemons could reap the most Eldar souls for their patron. When the Exiled One discovered that the Masque was just using him and had no intention of comparing their tallies, he led a horde of daemons into the heart of Biel-Tan to chase after the capering Herald. | |

Team Fortress 2 The WAR update did this between the Demo and Soldier, seeing who could kill the most of the other class to decide who would be given the privilege of using the Gun Boats. Individual players were given a kill count at the corner of their HUD telling them how many Soldiers they've killed as a Demo, or vise-versa. The Soldier won. Naturally, most of the players cheated. Team Fortress 2 has also the Strange Weapons introduced in the Ãœber Update, those weapons are just like the normal weapons but with counters, the most common counter is "Players Killed", but with "Strange Parts" you can have more counters like "Buildings Destroyed", "Headshot Kills", "Point-Blank Kills", "Long-Distance Kills" and players of a specific class killed, changing the owner of the weapon reset the counters to 0. And also Killstreak Kits, that make your weapon count kills made in a single life. A variant of Strange called Stat Clocks (Based on StatTraks in Counter-Strike Global Offensive) was later added, which actually has a visible counter on the weapon in game. |

A recurring plot in Judge Dredd is various people going for "the record" (most murders by one person in a single day), with Dredd trying to stop them. In this case the competition is against a score set by some previous villain, who had probably been executed by a Judge shortly after setting it and is unable to defend it in person. | |

Obélix always won, because Astérix would never bother to actually collect the helmets. Astérix in Belgium has a contest with Astérix, Obélix, and Vitalstatistix competing against a Belgian village to see who could wreck more Roman forts. |

Most matches in Conqueror's Blade devolve into wars of attrition eventually. This is because, while player characters can respawn, the NPC troops they bring with them stay dead when they die. Victory often hinges on whittling the enemy's forces down so much that you can easily swamp them with the troops you still have left, so players usually focus heavily on racking up kills. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In "A New Man", this serves as a conflict point between Buffy and Riley in that Buffy outscored his season four total by the end of the first season, three years before she even met him. He's somewhere between emasculated and impressed, and on top of it now has to learn the plural of Apocalypse. The proud way with which Maggie Walsh notes he's personally taken down a bit less than two dozen HSTs only serves to underscore the humor. | |

Stargate Atlantis: In "Sateda", Sheppard gives his body count of Wraith, Teyla gives hers, and Sheppard changes his to one more than hers. This becomes a Running Gag the rest of the episode. Every time, Teyla gives him a hilarious Double Take. | |

Goblin Slayer keeps track of how many goblins he and his comrades have killed in a fight, not out of a desire to see who can kill the most, but because he has a good eye for roughly how many goblins can be supported by the size of a lair and the reported depredations among the local villages, and thus is trying to figure out if they've missed any. | |

Heart of the Storm: Arashi and Bakugo turn the UA Entrance Exam into one of these with the test-robots, that culminates in them charging the Zero-Pointer at the same time, and saving each other from it. They actually tie for villain points, but Arashi scored one rescue point more than him. | |

Saiyuki: Sanzo and Gojyo count up their respective kills, and Gojyo argues that Sanzo has an unfair advantage in using a gun, while Gojyo must get a bit closer to his victims. | |

Dragon Ball Z: Taken to a depraved extreme with the Androids 17 and 18 of Future Trunks' timeline. Both are Ax-Crazy Psychopathic Manchildren who go on random mass-murder sprees, and go so far as to keep score of their kills. | |

Baldur's Gate keeps track of how many enemies each party member killed, and what was the strongest (highest XP value) enemy they killed. By the end of the campaign these numbers will be in the hundreds if not thousands. | |

In Darksiders, War and Ulthane's brawl is interrupted by a band of angels out for War's blood. Ulthane is miffed that they interfered in the first good fight he's had in a while, so he and War have an impromptu "pigeon plucking" contest. If War has a higher kill count by the end, Ulthane gives him a weapon enhancement as an award. | |

Dead Rising has the "Zombie Genocider" achievement for killing 53,594 zombies, the equivalent of Willamette's population. Dead Rising 2 also had a 53,596-kill achievement called "Z-Genocider 2: Genocide Harder", but may have put an end to the Running Gag with its "Zombie Genocide Master" achievement for 72,000 kills (that would be 1000 kills per in-game hour, actually somewhat difficult even in a vehicle). And then Capcom fittingly brought the gag back from the dead with Dead Rising 3 and its achievement for 53,597 zombies killed. And again in Dead Rising 4 for 53,598. |

The Lord of the Rings In the movies, a competition between Gimli and Legolas starts at Helm's Deep and continues on to the Battle of Minas Tirith. The Extended editions add even more to it. The Two Towers has the beginning of the competition, and featured several exchanges on the theme: The Return of the King concludes the gag; after Legolas single-handedly killed a rampaging 60-feet-tall Oliphant, and all its riders, an irate Gimli declares, "That still only counts as one!" |

In Wily's Defense's 200th comic starts off with God demanding that his Angels go down to Earth and get them to convert to him. Somewhere along the line Death and Magdelena, the Angels of Death and Destruction, respectively, turn the trip to Earth into one of these. Death ends up winning by forecasting a hurricane at the last minute. | |

The Assassin's Creed multiplayer actually subverts this as the winner of the game is more about how well and stealthy your kills are rather than how many. So there are situations where someone could have killed twice as many as you, but will often either win or lose by a few hundred points. | |

Left 4 Dead An amusing Bathroom Stall Graffiti version in the safe room of No Mercy 4. Each post one-ups the previous, culminating in someone posting their 53,595 kill-count (which itself had several replies calling bullshit on it). Killing that many Infected yourself gets you the achievement "Zombie Genocidest", a reference to Dead Rising's own "Zombie Genocider" achievement. Two other achievements in the Left 4 Dead series also reference "Zombie Genocider": "The Littlest Genocide", which requires you to kill 5,359 infected in the Crash Course campaign, and "Z-Genocidist 2: Episode 2", added to the sequel in the Last Stand update, which is rewarded for 53,599 kills (one up from the Dead Rising 4 achievement "Z-Genocider 4: The Return"). A more traditional example happens as the ending line of every campaign's score summary: "___ zombies were harmed during the making of this film" which usually averages to a four-digit number. From The Parish in the second game; a soldier has kept a tally of how many zombies he's killed. He's also kept a tally of how many people he's killed. |
