Combat Commentator	comment	Where active conflict between characters plays a major role, the combat commentator is the character who's seen most of the moves before and is kind enough to provide a running commentary for the less-seasoned characters (and, by extension, the audience) as to who has just done what, and why they've done it. Sometimes the character takes the role of an actual commentator or sports announcer, complete with microphone. Obviously, this works best in a martial arts-based series, where the commentator may well know not only the names and effects of a move, but the history of them as well. However, it can just as easily appear in any other type of series with a competitive bent. Sometimes, commentators may well change over the course of the series, such as in Initial D, where the commentators tend to be replaced by more skilled counterparts as the level of Takumi (and later Project D) continue increasing. Near-obligatory for a Tournament Arc. Often make use of Talking Is a Free Action, allowing commentators to provide a thorough, detailed explanation of the effects, drawbacks, and origins of a move within the two or so seconds it takes to execute. When a character acts as their own Combat Commentator, even when it serves no purpose except to help their opponent, that's Explaining Your Power to the Enemy.

Combat Commentator / int_16a43fa1	comment	Two of the most famous commentators in boxing are HBO's Larry Merchant and Showtime's Al Bernstein. If it's a three-man crew (typically on HBO), the third man will usually be a trainer or boxer, sometimes retired, sometimes active. This has run the gamut from awesome (Roy Jones Jr.), to passable (Emmanuel Steward and Max Kellerman), to So Bad He's Good (George Foreman), to So Bad He's Horrible (Lennox Lewis). Surprisingly, real life Cloudcuckoolander Mike Tyson is actually very knowledgeable and surprisingly competent.

Combat Commentator / int_1ae5eab5	comment	In Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, Kotori is the ultimate trigger for this trope; her voice actress' contract makes it so that she will always be there to question what just happened, no matter where is the dueling place, meaning someone will always have to be a Combat Commentator for her. A role that is usually taken by Astral if no one else is around - she becomes able to see Astral once the other kids are being made unable to follow Yuma for whatever reason, exactly so that she can retain her role as the Combat Commentator trigger, with Astral being the one who explains things to her.

Pretty much every bystander, named or not, performs this role during battles, especially when the combatants are out of reach. Even Ranma himself stood back and delivered commentary during the first half of the Asura/Pantyhose Tarou aerial battle. In a serious duel between Ranma and Genma, Soun took up the role —up to and including commenting through a microphone and interviewing the rest of the audience (his daughters) with it about their opinions.

Combat Commentator / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: Shinigami have a habit of doing their own combat commentary, explaining exactly how their sword works either before or after demonstrating it. Soi Fon gets into a little trouble with this for explaining her two hit kill power before even landing the first hit. Her opponent dodges and berates her for explaining the attack when she could have just done the attack and be over with it. Sometimes while demonstrating it. Most fights also have at least one or more witnesses that will comment upon the fight. Deconstructed by Mayuri who shows an encyclopedic knowledge of Quincy gained by performing hideous experiments on the souls of deceased Quincy including Uryuu's grandfather. Non-shinigami will often do this MORE than shinigami will. Count the number of times Ishida explains that Quincy attack using arrows formed from spirit particles - it's bound to be more than most captains explain how their swords work. Arrancar explain every named attack they use right after using it. And Bount yammer on about their dolls so much you'd expect them to be starting a tea party. During the fight between Starrk and Kyoraku, neither are keen to explain their abilities and repeatedly attack without the usual preamble. They make far more observations of one another, however, and the lack of understanding leads to some bad mistakes from both men — in part because they are actively deceiving each other. Lampshaded (?) by Ukitake when, asked by Starrk how he appeared to fire a cero, he tells the Espada to work it out for himself by firing at him some more. Starrk does figure it out a bit later. Kyoraku later plays it straight after releasing and using his Shikai - it forces combatants to fight using rules of children's games and he explains them. The worst example may be Shinji. He fights Aizen, knows Aizen's powers, knows that he has one shot to take out Aizen, Aizen doesn't know Shinji's powers, and has every advantage. So, out of the blue, Shinji spends a good five minutes explaining his sword's powers, and throwing away every single advantage that he has in the fight. Slightly lampshaded as in-character cockyness - Shinji proclaims that even if Aizen knows that his powers invert all his senses of directions, he wouldn't be able to adjust. While he manages to land one hit, Aizen manages to adjust soon after. Zommari Leroux combines this trope with Idiot Ball during his fight with Byakuya. He explain in complete detail his every single technique or ability used during the battle through very long winded lectures.

Combat Commentator / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: Early chapters used this a whole lot, especially during the Chunin Exams. At times it hilariously appeared as if either time was distorted in mid-attack or the fighters suddenly decided to stop doing anything long enough for one of the commentators to explain the technique. In later arcs, this role falls to Zetsu, who, due to his ability to merge with anything, will often poke his head out of walls to watch battles and explain things to us. His role is parodied hilariously in this comic.◊ Parodied in the anime version of the "fight" of the Leaf Village ninja against Tobi, where Tobi acts as a Combat Commentator despite it being a battle he himself is fighting in, loudly announcing the strategy he easily figured out his opponents are using against him, and still acting like it's catching him off-guard. Tobi plays this role in the Sasuke vs. Danzo fight. This is lampshaded by Danzo: The Naruto v Pain battle. That battle is covered not by a single Combat Commentator, but by a combat commentary team.

It's later picked up by Roshi, then Kami, then Piccolo or Vegeta, who explain to their unknowing peers (and the audience) how amazing it is that Goku can manipulate his energy in whatever way he does. In the very last parts of the Buu arc of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT, it's the old Kaioshin doing this. There is also the World Tournament announcer, who is friends with most of the main characters. He's just a normal guy, but is knowledgeable enough to know that Mr. Satan is just a fraud.

The Alt Text adds a little bit more to the story by revealing that Gog-Agog being allowed to narrate during the tournament is an olive branch from Solomon to keep her from feeling left out from a source of entertainment, and that until he allowed her to fill that very important role Gog-Agog would frequently show up uninvited and eat his competitors out of spite.

Combat Commentator / int_9e2f90f4	comment	Used from time to time in One Piece, for everything from executions to cooking competitions. Itomimizu of the Foxy Pirates serves as announcer and commentator every time Foxy challenges another crew to a Davy Back Fight, being markedly less biased than the referees. Played with during the fight between Luffy and Usopp. Watching from the sidelines with the rest of the crew, Chopper outright refuses to talk about the fight and instead pleads with both combatants to stop. An annoyed Zoro tells Chopper to either watch the fight or go to his room. Gatz is a straighter example during the Dressrosa arc, being the announcer at the Corrida Colosseum. While he occasionally picks favorites (and barely tries to hide it), ultimately he does a good job at keeping the audience up to speed when unknown gladiators start gaining ground. He later serves as a more badass example when he taunts Doflamingo to buy enough time for Luffy to get his Heroic Second Wind. He gets impaled for his trouble, but when Luffy finally gets back on his feet to finish the fight, he makes damn well sure every soul in Dressrosa hears it. This culminates in Gatz struggling to announce Luffy's victory in the middle of his own Inelegant Blubbering, and the entire country ends up cheering on him so that he can spit it out.

You never knew who'd you get beyond knowing that if they did it once they'd probably be on commentary again, eventually. Later ROH made an official ruling that if wrestlers wanted to stick around after their matches they had to stay at the commentary table. At the 2017 Festival Of Honor there was a raffle for fans to call matches with Ian Riccaboni and Kevin Kelly, silver tickets being prerecorded, gold being live!

Combat Commentator / int_d5ddd6c1	comment	For PokÃ©mon: The Series, the role of battle commentator usually falls to Brock, due to his experience as a Gym Leader. Occasionally he is substituted by Professor Oak, who draws upon his expertise in PokÃ©mon research instead. Tournament battles or other matches with an audience will have real commentators in addition to the main characters commenting. This carried over to the PokÃ©mon Stadium games and Spiritual Successor PokÃ©mon Battle Revolution. The extremely irritating commentators. "TAKEN DOWN IN ONE HIT!!!!!!" Tracey acted as this during the Orange Islands arc, since Brock was with Professor Ivy at the time. Max shares the role in PokÃ©mon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, being too young to own his own PokÃ©mon but very knowledgeable about their abilities. Cilan takes up this role in PokÃ©mon the Series: Black & White, as the knowledgeable guy of the group and a gym leader as well. Cilan and Burgundy even have a contest based around this: they both use their Connoiseur skills to observe a match and make judgements, then decide who is most likely to win. Clemont does this in PokÃ©mon the Series: XY, though more justified than usual since his little sister Bonnie often needs the explanations.

The color commentator is usually an ex-wrestler, or has some other special knowledge of the physical side of wrestling. Some color commentators also root for the heels and defend their actions, pouring more fuel on the audience's outrage (Heenan was a heel manager as well as a commentator, so of course he did this).

Not only is every fight narrated by every character involved, several spectators, and news reporters, but sometimes the circumstances leading up to a fight are explained as well. In one instance, mentor Master Asia spends nearly 20 minutes explaining what is happening, who is involved, where the big showdown will take place, how he will trounce the hero, when the hero will fall for the trap, and why he is doing so. This is all supplemented by a short primer on Sun Tzu's The Art of War and how it applies to the finer points of giant robot camouflage. And the way Master Asia does it cements him as a total badass of a Genius Bruiser.

When it comes to actually explaining the logic and history behind certain tactics, Yusuke usually turns to Genkai or Kurama. Hiei, Koenma and either Kuwabara sibling can fill in a pinch for other characters. The current Big Bad also tends to know his stuff, since he's supposed to be a foil and contrast to Yusuke.
