For added effect, listen to this while reading this page. There's a big bad gang/army out there that wants to sack the peaceful village for whatever reason. The Protagonist can't stop them by himself for whatever reason. Either way, it's time to teach the initially Untrusting Community how to fight and defend themselves. Expect some complaining about "losing their peaceful way of life." If there's a Wasteland Elder around, expect them to back the hero and shush the young'un. The villagers will fight back with pitchforks, plowshares and improvised weapons. It will also include many Bamboo Technology traps involving previously innocuous items, like laundry buckets filled with boiling water. Usually, the outlaw band/army should have been able to beat them, had they taken the villagers seriously and fought with genuine strategy; but their downfall usually lay in rushing into traps. In some instances, the villagers may have existed under the oppression of the hordes for years or even generations without even thinking of fighting back. Not, that is, until The Hero shows up. Basking in the glow of his shining example, the common people finally rise up to combat the Evil Overlords. With the enemy dead or on the run, and the villagers converted to the notion of violence for self-defense, the heroes leave. The young'un won't be complaining after that. See also The Magnificent Seven Samurai, The Paragon, Perfect Pacifist People, Home Guard, Instant Militia, or Holding Out for a Hero. The village is often a Doomed Hometown that fights back. Compare Defiant Stone Throw. Contrast One-Man Army, where this sort of thing is not necessary. Compare and contrast Torches and Pitchforks, when the villagers take matters into their own hands and become an Angry Mob. |

Frighteningly prevalent with experienced players in Dungeons & Dragons. The degree to which this can work varies by edition. As of 4E, you can arm everyone in town with reasonable gear and give them weeks of training, but they'll still have exactly one hit point and die from the indirect side effects of a single enemy's attacks. Third edition let them live long enough to buy the heroes time and/or provide flanking bonuses. Second edition would let them win almost any fight hands-down through mob rules for overbearing. Once used to defend a village against a rampaging horde of kythons. This was not the worst thing in the campaign. |

Primarily averted in Naruto, given that the setting revolves around villages filled with incredibly powerful ninja, but it's Played Straight in a Big Damn Heroes moment near the very end of the Land of Waves arc, which takes place in the only known country with no ninja village. In this case, though, it's less "Training the Peaceful Villagers", and more "Inspiring the Peaceful Villagers". | |

Though perhaps more frightening when done in Exalted. Tiger Warrior Training can turn even the smallest peasant villager into a lethal combatant. Also, one of the secondary signature Zenith Caste Solars, Karal Fire Orchid, does this in her origin story. Infernals can't train them anywhere near as well (yet), but can provide the peaceful villagers with power-enhancing mutations to make them just as dangerous. If you really want an unholy terror, get a mixed Circle to use multiple Charms of this sort on the same group of villagers, then hold off the monsters with firebreathing, taloned Super Soldiers. |

Parodied in Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu, when Kaname and Sousuke are assigned the task of training up the comically pacifist school rugby team for what will be their last match should they lose. After Kaname's more genre-appropriate measures fail to get through, Sousuke steps up to the task. The only problem is that Sousuke, not having the slightest clue about how rugby is played, just decides to put them through Full Metal Jacket (complete with direct quotes from the infamous Gunnery Sergeant Hartman). The end result is nearly as disastrously violent as its inspirations'. | |

Happens in one of the Pathfinder Society modules taking place in the Asian-inspired continent. A village holding the lost heir to an artifact's power is annually attacked by bandits at harvest time. It is up to the PCs to train the villagers to defend themselves in the upcoming battle. It's a Whole-Plot Reference to Seven Samurai. | |

In One Piece, the Toy Soldier realized he couldn't protect Rebecca forever due to his fragile toy body, so he trained her so she would be able to protect herself. Bonus points for Tough Love because it was later revealed Rebecca is his daughter. Briefly mentioned during the Crew separation arc, where Brook tried to train the villagers who thought he was the devil (long story) into fighting back against the people who kidnapped some of their women. It didn't work, since even with training, they had no real experience whatsoever, and Brook ended up fighting the kidnappers by himself. |

A hilarious example in the Futurama episode "Birdbot of Ice-Catraz", in which Bender teaches the rapidly-multiplying penguins how to defend themselves against humans, only to have the flock be hilariously devoured by an orca in one gulp... On Pluto. The trope is played with at the ending, in which a pair of penguins pick rifles, and glare menacingly. | |

Also subverted in Tales of the Questor where the town of Freedom Downs has a Farmer's Militia for self-defense and if Quentyn is any indication, the standard training he got long before he decided on his calling was damn good stuff. Alluded to earlier when Gilder wants to thrash Quentyn for his choice, but the village Man-At-Arms flatly says that Quentyn would have handed Gilder his ass. |

Done in an issue of Marvel Adventures: Avengers, where the Avengers have to train a village to fight off a warlord and his minions. The Avengers fight along with the villagers in versions of their costumes modified to look as if they're villagers themselves, to try and make sure that the warlord won't just regroup and come back the moment he thinks the Avengers have left. Even more, Cap couldn't lead them because it would tip the warlord off - he had Wolverine lead them. It was like a dream come true to him. |

Done darkly in an early Groo the Wanderer comic. Groo trains a peaceful village to fight against two hordes of bandits. In the process, the village and all its crops are destroyed. Having no other way to make a living now, the villagers and the bandit hordes unite into a single, massive bandit army that overruns nearby cities. Darkly and surprisingly often — another, even earlier story had women being kidnapped by an airship. Groo "trains" the villagers (with the usual complaints of the attack having been less painful and going into battle being safer than Groo's training). Turns out that the women were being held in a... basically a resort... and had no intention of leaving, and that they rather resented being "rescued". A later story involved bandits riding giant birds, and while Groo's "training" more or less worked, his help, as usual, backfired spectacularly. |

In Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart, Mao Mao hears word that his old partner Bao Bao is coming to Pure Heart Valley and decides to arm the local Sweetiepies with cheap spears, regardless of their fighting ability (or lack thereof) or number of fingers (or lack thereof). Eventually we learn that Bao Bao poses no threat as he is an unanthropomorphic dog in a World of Funny Animals. |

ElfQuest: When their revered Mother of Memory is entrapped on the spirit plane by an enemy they can't begin to comprehend, the peaceful Sun Folk ask the few remaining Wolfriders to teach them weapon skills. No, they never use their skills in any useful way during the main storyline, but at least learning to shoot arrows makes them feel like they're doing something. The issue was more that the Wolfriders were leaving, and since the arrival of the Wolfriders had precipitated the departure of Rayek, their previous warrior-defender, they felt that they would have no more protection. Plus their healer was leaving them at the same time. |
