Dare to Be Badass | comment |
The Hero is called upon to step up to the plate and be awesome. Sounds a lot like the Call to Adventure, you say? Well, yes; the two are closely related. The difference is, an Adventure Call is more like, "Hey! You totally want to take on this quest to slay the dragon and save the princess because it sure beats washing cars and sipping lattes all day (and you might even get a nice check, or even more, out of the deal)." A Badass Dare is more like, "The Dragon has already stomped out a squadron of fighter jets and a bunch of tanks. And now he's getting ready to eat the princess. But you're our only hope. Now yeah, you can sit here and just keep sipping lattes and washing cars. Or you can take this BFG/BFS and save the world!" The Dare to Be Badass makes the distinction that the character turning their back on the dare is somehow lesser as a person for not accepting it. Conversely, the character is being asked to step up to awesomeness because, deep down, he/she (to use the words of Captain Christopher Pike) feels like they are meant for something more. Something greater. This will usually punctuate, or trigger, massive Character Development. While the Call to Adventure usually starts off The Hero's Journey, the Dare to Be Badass usually comes at a point when the chips are most certainly down for The Hero, and he/she must be reminded that they can't give up. Done right, this can resemble a 30-second Rousing Speech and thus be highly awesome. Done wrong, you know what you get. The trope name is in reference to the famous phrase of the classical philosopher Horace, sapere aude or "Dare to be wise." Compare a "No More Holding Back" Speech. See also Consequence Combo, when the hero is being pushed into the adventure with both a carrot and a stick. Compare and contrast Go, Ye Heroes, Go and Die, which can overlap with this trope when a speech like this falls flat (or emphasizes the unpleasantness too much). Not to be confused with a dare to be stupid. |

Nevermoor: In the climax of the third book, Morrigan recieves a speech to this effect from, of all people, the Big Bad, when they're forced to pull an Enemy Mine. When she shows doubt in her abilities, he very bluntly tells her that this is not the time nor the place, and reminds her of all the things she's done that that have made him respect her as a fellow Wundersmith, and tells her he wants to talk to that Morrigan. As he puts it, "Now is not the time to be small." | |

Bleach: After Ichigo loses the powers Rukia gave him and Rukia is taken back to Soul Society to face punishment for the illegal act of giving him those powers, Ichigo does say he wants to save Rukia. However, Urahara realizes that Ichigo really doesn't feel he can and is looking to get himself killed in a noble way. So, he challenges Ichigo to stop acting like a selfish child who just wants to die and to man up, engage in serious training with Urahara, and then make a serious rescue attempt to save Rukia and come home alive. In the subsequent training, when Ichigo has restored his powers but finds himself running for dear life from Urahara, the spirit of his weapon, well, filtered through a piece of someone else, anyway, urges him to stand his ground. His speech allows Ichigo to harness his soul's greatest quality (he's at his best when he's charging forward without hesitation) and finally release his sword's true form. After Rukia restores his Shinigami powers after the Time Skip, she dares Ichigo not to prove himself a badass to her, but to the enemy standing before him. |

Master and Commander has another brilliantly understated one, in a way only the British can do it. Badass Adorable Plucky Middie Blakeney has his arm broken in the opening battle and the limb gets amputated. Blakeney is in a hammock recovering from the painful and traumatic surgery when tough Father Neptune Captain Aubrey pops in to give a stern word of advice to the boy and drop off a gift ("You are the reading sort"), and then he excuses himself. Blakeney opens the book... and there is a magnificent illustration of Horatio Nelson, also missing an arm. | |

Kamina's whole character in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is pretty much based around providing this sort of motivation to the other characters. Hell, this could be considered basically the entire message of the series, seeing as all the incredibly awesome stuff they accomplish is caused simply by daring to be badass. | |

Hamlet constantly tries to talk himself into this mode. That's what the "To be, or not to be" soliloquy is about; suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or just give up and sleep? Takes him a long time to get the point (several acts' worth), but when he does, he commits: "My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth!" And then everyone dies. | |

Harry Potter: At the end of Goblet of Fire, Dumbledore tells Fudge to accept Voldemort's return, remove the Dementors from Azkaban, and send envoys to the Giants. He tells Fudge if he takes these steps, he will be remembered as one of the bravest and greatest Ministers of Magic; if Fudge refuses, he will be remembered as the man who stepped aside and allowed Voldemort to destroy everything the Wizarding World has tried so hard to rebuild. As seen in Order of the Phoenix, Fudge refuses and indeed allows those very things to happen by getting in Dumbledore's way and trying to arrest him. And when the magical society as a whole finds out that Fudge had spent almost an entire year covering up any news of Voldemort returning with power, major outrage predictably happens and Fudge is pressured into shamefully resigning, with his legacy mostly consisting of being a failure of a Minister. | |

Blades in the Dark: A meta example. The manual exhorts players to be bold, ambitious and daring, pointing out that there are plenty of mechanisms that can be used to mitigate risks post facto, and that the type of person who values safety, regularity, and predictability is not the type of person who becomes a Blades In The Dark player character. | |

The Dark Knight Rises has an interesting deconstruction of this. The old man in the Pit tells Bruce that he mistakenly thinks that his complete lack of fear of dying makes him strong. To regain the ability to fight when you're totally beaten, to do the impossible, one must be afraid again. It's simply, "dare to FEAR. And in so doing, become a badass again." | |

Food Wars!: Seems to be a recurring theme in, being in Senzaemon's opening speech, as he encouraged the students to be on the 1% top of the academy. Also, Yukihira and Megumi's relationship dynamics during early on the manga doubles this with You Are Better Than You Think You Are, as Yukihira encourages Megumi to fight to get better (It worked: as of the most recent arc, Megumi is the 10th seat making her one of the top six Second years.) Soma himself gives one to the entire school at the end of the Central arc. After becoming the new 1st Seat, he tells the entire student body that anyone can challenge him for the seat, whenever they want, and on whatever they want. Given that he never let himself be intimidated by cooks who were above him, he's now encouraging the rest of the students to do the same. |

At the beginning of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Shinji Ikari receives a challenge like this from his father Gendo, who needs him to pilot Unit-01 to save the city from an Angel attack already in progress. Shinji, however, is 14 (sensitive and easily frightened at that), hasn't seen his father in years by the latter's choice, and was expecting some sort of reconciliation scene. Neither lives up to the other's expectations, then or later. | |

24: In Season 2, Jack is suffering a Heroic BSoD after the death of his wife, so he volunteers to fly the nuke into the desert, ready to die. CTU Head George Mason, dying of radiation poisoning, slips onto the plane, and says a few words to Jack, telling him that a better man would try to put his life back together. President Taylor uses one of these to convince Dalia Hassan to take control of the IRK's government and finish the peace. Consider all that happened before, it could only literally be a Dare to Be Badass. |

Iron Man This conversation: Done even better when a news report shows the devastation being caused by the terrorists. The newswoman says, "....these villagers are left to wonder: WHO, if anyone, will help..." As the newscast is playing, Tony is stewing in impotent anger while tweaking his hand repulsor glove after learning that Stane was double-dealing under the table to the bad guys; at that moment in the newscast, Stark blasts loose a workbench hood light with his brand new repulsors in inarticulate rage... and then after thinking a second, very calmly blows out a trio of windows in the room as if he were in a shooting gallery. After he contemplates the weaponized application of the hand repulsor, it cuts to the Lock-and-Load Montage, leitmotif blaring, as he dons the Mark III suit for the first time and flies off to Afghanistan to kick some ass. |

In X-Men: First Class, Charles Xavier, one by one takes his motley crew of mutants and gets them to reach their true potential, none more memorable than Erik Lehnsherr. He literally dares him to use his powers to turn a giant satellite dish located at least a mile away. Especially poignant because Erik up to that point was impressed with his own ability to deflect bullets and control smaller metal objects. He never considered doing anything greater than that until Charles suggested it. | |

In Star Trek (2009), Pike asks Kirk whether he wants to continue to be "the only genius-level repeat offender in the Midwest" or put his skills to some actual use. Besides literally daring Kirk to "do better," Pike tells him that if he's even half the man his father was, then Kirk will make a great Captain. CMoH/CMoA. Spock Prime telling Kirk to "re"-take the Enterprise can also be this. I mean, what's more badass than trying to piss off a Vulcan? From the same movie. "Either they're going down, or we are." |

In 2003, WWC was in need of a woman who looked good on television and Rico Suave saw the one who would become Black Rose in the audience and dared her to try her hand at wrestling. She refused on the grounds she neither liked wrestling nor knew how to, but when Suave saw her in the crowd the next week he took that as her acceptance, wouldn't take "no" for an answer, and told her to take down Stacy Colon. | |

During the final battle of Claymore, the resurrected Teresa calls out to Cassandra, who has previously been absorbed by Priscilla, and demands that she stops pretending that something as trivial as being devoured whole can hold down a former Number One and fights her one-on-one with swords, as Number Ones do. In response, Cassandra reforms her body and breaks it out of Priscilla's—if only to see for herself who would have the gall to issue a challenge like that to her. Of course, having originally died before Teresa was even born, Cassandra had never heard of the true power behind the Faint Smile. | |

Persona 5 has its unique take on the trope with the awakening scenes. It begins with the Persona berating its user for allowing themselves to be defined and/or abused by the system, all while said user endures intense pain. Then, it inspires them to rise up, become something greater than themselves, and crush those who would oppress them and others, all by ripping off the mask and unleashing their rage. | |

Dark Souls II: The game's tagline challenged the player to "Go beyond death", while most of the characters in the game think you don't have a snowball's chance in hell of accomplishing anything. They've seen hundreds of Undead come and fail. The implicit challenge is: Prove the naysayers wrong! Another one said to the player character after gathering the Crowns of the Lost Kings and letting Vendrick imbue them with the power to stop Hollowing is suitably epic; "Seek adversity... the rest will follow." Vendrick is basically commissioning you to take up where he left off and succeed where he failed and become the true monarch that can sit the Throne of Want, no matter the challenge that lies before you because he knows you can take it. Also doubles as a Last Request, as you get shunted out of the Memory of the King after he says this and can't go back, implying that these were his last words as a sane and Un-Hollowed man. |

When Ace dies, Lister and Rimmer take him to the burial ground of all the Ace Rimmers who died. Upon seeing all the hard light projectors of the Ace Rimmer holograms who died in acts of heroism, enough to form a ring around a planet, Lister turns and asks Rimmer if he really wants to be the one to break that chain. This convinces Rimmer to take up the mantle. |

Black Clover: At the very start of the manga, after Revchi effortlessly beats up Asta while trying to steal Yuno's four-leaf grimoire, he takes a moment to taunt him over how he's a hopeless loser who was born without magic, and mocks his dream of becoming the Wizard King. Yuno cuts Revchi off and agrees that Asta won't become the Wizard King... because the one who will become Wizard King is Yuno himself. He then states that Asta is no loser: he is Yuno's rival. Feeling acknowledged by his rival, Asta gains a Heroic Second Wind... just as a five-leaf grimoire chooses him as its wielder. Yami often tells his squad to "Surpass your limits!" during dangerous situations that have them fighting against formidable foes. They certainly live up to their captain's words, becoming stronger and managing to defeat powerful enemies — even sometimes learning new spells in the process. |

Clint gives Wanda a "No More Holding Back" Speech to this effect during her brief Heroic BSoD during the final battle. She steps out the door.

A subtle example in Big Hero 6, when Tadashi takes his brother Hiro to his lab at San Fransokyo Tech instead of a nearby 'bot-fight. His friends at the 'nerd lab' show Hiro their latest experiments, Tadashi demonstrates Baymax and then introduces Hiro to Professor Callaghan, a pioneer in robotics. The implied message is "You can do more with your life than just hustling robot-fights," and by the end of the visit, Hiro goes from scoffing the 'nerd lab' to wanting to apply for a scholarship. | |

Rebuild World: Erio says that he's stronger than Akira and tries to jump him from behind for control of Sheryl's gang, resulting in a Curb-Stomp Battle and Sheryl taking out her anger on Erio telling him that he's nothing compared to Akira if he can't go out there as one of the Disaster Scavengers and bring back a relic like he did, banishing him until he does so. Erio gets a handgun from his girlfriend and heads out, losing his gun and then being saved by Akira in an Epic Fail, having to carry Akira's heavy loot home to get re-admitted to the gang. Despite this, Erio becomes a force to be reckoned with in the long run thanks to Akira training him and the Declaration of Protection he makes for his girlfriend. | |

In Purple Days, Joff gathers six second sons, bastards and lesser lords in Winterfell, and proposes a wager: all of them, at the same time, versus him alone. Should any of them win, they all get the equivalent of two years' pay for an idea Joffrey's working on. But if he wins, they'll all serve him loyally and with honor. With a bit of prodding at Willard Mooton to begin, Joff handily wins, starting his Royal Legion. Of particular note, he promises Olyvar Frey a genuine Band of Brothers, contrasting his horrible home life at the Twins, honor and bravery to Willard Mooton, whose family is seen as a bunch of useless cowards, and loyalty to Jon Snow. He has to get a little more creative to get his cousin Lancel to step out of his role as the family idiot and join. | |

Star Trek seriously seems to have a thing for this trope; but then again being a classic American adventure story maybe this isn't surprising. It's even at the end of the traditional Opening Narration: "To boldly go where no man/one has gone before." Consider the final episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation; Picard is back in time and ordering the Enterprise to take on a dangerous anomaly which will most likely destroy the ship. He reassures his confused crew with the classic line: One of the greatest dares from TNG, the episode "Ethics", in which Worf is paralyzed and as a Klingon decides to commit suicide rather than live an invalid. He asks his best friend, Riker, to assist him and further tries to guilt-trip Riker into doing it, saying that a Klingon must protect his honor. Riker unleashes a speech that's part Dare to Be Badass, part "The Reason You Suck" Speech in which he basically tells Worf that if he were really a badass, he'd try to survive. "Q Who" (a.k.a. The One with the Borg) has an incredible one from Q, of all people, basically telling Picard that even though the galaxy is filled with unstoppably powerful monsters that can kick your ass effortlessly, it's still too awesome not to keep exploring... if you have the balls: In "Yesterday's Enterprise": From "Redemption": And from the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Return to Tomorrow", when Kirk wants to make contact with a race of powerful disembodied minds: This makes his advice to his direct successor in Star Trek: Generations a Call-Back: Trouble has come up, and so even if the new Enterprise-B was just on a quick run around the solar system for the news people, and the most of the Applied Phlebotinum doesn't get in until Tuesday, "Risk is part of the game if you want to sit in that chair." |

After the death of Uncle Aaron, and a pep-talk from his father, Miles finally takes the leap of faith needed to embrace his new role as Spider-Man, and swing over to join the Spider-Gang in the final fight against the Kingpin, all while the song "What's Up Danger" is playing in the background. | |

Jonathan, holding Krypto's lost cape (as the dog had been absorbed into the Eradicator), wants to help his father, but he isn't sure if he can. Lois, however, tells him that he's the best of both worlds and that he can be great if he chooses to be. He zips up his S-Shield jacket, solders on the cape and charges into battle, aiding his father. | |

Back to the Future: George McFly's mantra that "If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything" in the first film isn't really one of these until his son tells him this in a desperate attempt to get him to marry his mother and thus ensure his existence. Back to the Future Part III: Subverted when the local townsfolk of 1885 Hill Valley attempt to use something like this on Marty to get him to duel with Mad Dog Tannen, basically telling him that if he doesn't face him "you'll be branded a coward for the rest of your days", but it's mostly because they're betting on the outcome one way or another. However, Marty proves his awesomeness by not going through with the duel. And further subverted in that he still manages to kick Tannen's ass. At the end, Doc delivers one to Marty and his girlfriend Jennifer when the fax message telling the future Marty he's fired gets erased. |

Jujutsu Kaisen: During a sparring session, Gojo tells Megumi that he never tries his best because he is of the mindset that he can always just use his trump card at the cost of his own life if he's desperate to win. He then encourages Megumi to be greedier and actually try his best. When Megumi remembers Gojo's words while fighting a Special Grade curse, rather than summon Mahoraga as he has tried before, he instead opts to perform Domain Expansion; while his technique is incomplete and "ugly", it provides him with enough of a power boost that he manages to turn the fight around and win. | |

In Code Geass, Zero's rescue of Tohdoh and his fellow rebels from the execution they had come to accept is accompanied by a lecture on the nature of miracles. [adult swim] accurately described this scene as Zero berating Tohdoh for "not being badass enough." | |

The Bible: In the story of Esther, the evil Haman had convinced King Xerxes to execute every Jew in the kingdom, all because one Jew, Mordecai, would not bow to him. Mordecai sent word to Queen Esther, his cousin and surrogate daughter, daring her to (wo)man up and go to the King on her people's behalf. | |

In the first chapter of Children of an Elder God, Gendo tries to talk his son into getting in an Humongous Mecha and fighting the giant, arachnid Eldritch Abomination that has invaded the city together with its spawn. Shinji thinks that he'll let his father down if he refuses, so he agrees. | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy X: "Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die, and be free of pain, or live, and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!" Final Fantasy XIII: This is an Eidolon's typical response to their corresponding l'Cie slipping dangerously close to the Despair Event Horizon. You either prove to the Eidolon that you have the strength to persevere or they put you out of your misery. Fang only gets the latter right; Hope puts it all together after subduing Alexander. |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: "Art thou courageous?" There was a now-infamous commercial for the game in the UK, featuring the tagline: "Wilst thou get the girl... Or play like one?" Not exactly the best choice of words, and was promptly Retconned. The US variant used "Wilst thou soar... or wilst thou suck?" instead. |

Reign of the Seven Spellblades: Headmistress Esmeralda's customary orientation speech to new Kimberly Magic Academy students is a dramatic address that approximately one in five students will not survive to graduate in seven years and they alone are responsible for their own success. This is then customarily immediately undercut by the second-years reassuring the new first-years that (most of) the upperclassmen and (some of) the teachers actually do have their backs. Or in the case of the protagonists, by Fish out of Water Nanao Hibiya randomly suggesting a headache remedy to the headmistress for no apparent reason after she finishes her speech. | |

When Clea questions Strange's bravery in being willing to engage in such a task, Strange responds simply by suiting up. | |

Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs: Leon and other nobles are taken hostage on a field trip by an invading nation and told they have one hour to prepare themselves to die (due to a Frame-Up plot). Leon ends up giving one of these to the defeatist, mostly Royal Brat students. Speaking like a Drill Sergeant Nasty, Leon tells them that they're pathetic and only living off the names of their badass ancestors, who are laughing at them from beyond for being cowards. Not only does this rally the students to put up a determined resistance, it also earns Leon the affections of resident masochist Bunny-Ears Lawyer Deirdre. | |

After a fateful encounter with his idol All Might and discussing whether someone like him deserves to be a hero, All Might tells him that all that matters is whether Izuku wants to be a hero or not. When Izuku replies that, yes, he does want to be a hero, All Might's response is: | |

Doctor Who: This has pretty much been the Doctor's modus operandi since the get-go: convincing ordinary people to be extraordinary and save their world. "The Eleventh Hour" has a good one, when the Doctor challenges Jeff to "be magnificent": "Victory of the Daleks": Churchill gets one too (how many shows can you say that for), when the Doctor is indisposed, inspiring Bracewell to take the fight to the Daleks, in characteristic Churchill style. The Doctor does the same again in "Cold Blood", daring the humans and Silurians to reconcile and negotiate rather than give in to their inclinations to just wage war on each other. Sort of a peaceful badassery, but still counts. |

The pilot of The Unit features two of these, the first from Sergeant Major Jonas Blaine to new guy Bob Brown, getting him ready for his first mission. "The Universe has conspired to bring you here to this moment. You've been wanting this moment your whole life. Well, here it is.". This is then followed by Blaine's wife Molly talking to Brown's wife Kim, who are far away back at the base. Kim is mightily frustrated by the Unit lifestyle and is ready to leave, regardless of what it does to her husband's career in Special Forces. Molly basically tells her to stop whining and chill out and reconsider; resulting in a former page quote for this trope. | |

The second chorus of "Spirit Never Die" by Masterplan: Most of the song is sung by a Determinator about himself, but the second chorus goes like this: "Never give up! Never give in!/Rise from the fire if you're gonna win!/Sing with your soul, soon you'll be old/Fight the demons inside you!/There is no limit to what can be done!/Climb every mountain with power so strong!" | |

In Battlestar Galactica (2003), the Cylons capture New Caprica, taking the humans there hostage and scaring off the Galactica and the Pegasus. Both ships choose to write off the hostages on New Caprica as losses and continue on their way, which quite frankly, is the smartest thing they can do, as they are ridiculously outnumbered and outgunned. Then, after thinking it over, Admiral Adama has this to say: | |

At the end of Survivor Samoa, after a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Russell, Erik explains to Natalie why she's got his vote: Although this speech occurred when the game was almost over, he was essentially telling her: "don't let anyone tell you that you didn't work to make it this far. Get out there and prove yourself." And the best part? She won. |

Diablo III: In the Demon Hunter class trailer, a female Demon Hunter happens upon a place where a group of people was massacred by demons. She manages to track down the only survivor: a terrified young woman who ran until she collapsed, and who upon seeing more demons approaching says "We're going to die here, aren't we?" The Demon Hunter says knows what it's like to feel powerless and afraid; she implies that something similar originally happened to her. But she saves the survivor by killing all of the attacking Demons with her crossbows and gadgets, and then offers one of her crossbows to the girl, saying "You have a choice: hunted, or hunter." The survivor takes the weapon, demonstrating that she wants to learn from the Demon Hunter how to face her fears and overcome her weakness. Word of God state that this is one of the Demon Hunters' primary recruiting methods. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi has Negi on the receiving end of several of these, usually from Evangeline (or a pseudo-Eva created from his memories). Evangeline also gives one of these to Asuna to see if she can survive Eva's Training from Hell. It ultimately boils down to "You can either die, quit and go home, or be badass enough to survive. Oh, and in case you haven't noticed, I don't like you." As both Negi and Asuna have discovered, it could be worse: she could like you. Which basically comes down to "If You want to call yourself my Sub Bosses, you need to be strong (more Training from Hell), evil (many Breaking Lectures), and dress in gothic fashion. |

Dragon Ball Z: At the final battle with Majin Buu, Vegeta tries to convince the Earthlings to raise up their hands to give Goku the energy he needs to form the Genki Dama powerful enough to kill Buu. Vegeta tells the Earthlings to consider this act as their first step to becoming a warrior race. It doesn't work until Mr. Satan steps in and tells them to do it. Earlier during the Cell Games Mr. Satan is at the receiving end of one: having realized how to trigger Gohan's transformation into Super Saiyan 2 but reduced to a severed head, Android 16 asks Mr. Satan to bring him to Gohan, and when he starts making excuses, 16 asks, "Aren't you the world champion?". Mr. Satan rises to the challenge and brings 16 to Gohan in spite of his immense fear of being swatted away by Cell or ending as collateral damage of the Cell Juniors' rampage. |

Sue has become his consort, Johnny is the sun, and Ben Grimm is the Shield that surrounds the southern edge of Battleworld, keeping out the zombies, giant insects, and Ultrons. Except Ben doesn't know that this is punishment—Doom has wiped their minds, so all they know is that Doom is God. Until Thanos gets himself captured and reveals what Doom did to Grimm: So Ben stands up, all hundred feet of him, and says, "IT'S CLOBBERING TIME." |

Cyrano de Bergerac: This trope is deconstructed in this play, the Dare to Be Badass is not a Call to Adventure from the Threshold Guardians, but a dare to Bullying a Dragon from a Jerkass. Hilarity Ensues: Act I Scene IV: De Guiche casually dares Viscount De Valvert to bully Cyrano after he literally kicks a Bore's ass: Act II Scene III: Lisa dares the Musketeer to bully Cyrano after he defends Raguenau’s honor. The Musketeer did not take the bait. Act II Scene IX: The cadets converse in front of Christian about Cyrano attitude towards his nose. Christian takes the hint about what they are asking him to do. Then Christian, not being really an idiot, asks Captain Carbon about what to do. Captain Carbon insists in this disturbingly horrific Initiation Ceremony: |

Babylon 5: In "The Geometry of Shadows", Micheal Garibaldi has recently recovered from being in a coma after being shot In the Back by his second in command, thus preventing him from stopping the assassination of President Santiago. The new station commander, Captain Sheridan, comes to speak with him and finds Garibaldi sitting in his quarters, holding his pistol. Garibaldi puts the gun down to greet the Captain, and after a short conversation where Sheridan tries to talk Garibaldi into going back on duty, Sheridan picks up the pistol and places it back in its holster on the table. G'kar gets one of these from Kosh in "Dust to Dust" (worth seeing oneself). It marks his turning point towards becoming the most heroic character in the series. Made even better as it happens during G'kar's Mind Rape attack on Londo. |
