Villain Respect	comment	In some works, there's an antagonist who isn't known for being friendly with the protagonists. But sometimes, in situations when one of said protagonists (often the main/lead character, but supporting characters qualify as well) exhibits a heroic or otherwise positive character trait that sufficiently impresses the antagonist, the latter will not be above commending them or otherwise showing them approval of them or their character trait in question. It will particularly stand out if, previously, the antagonist was hostile or (more usually) simply dismissive of the targeted protagonist. The action may usually be performed by the Noble Demon, but bonus points if it's the Big Bad delivering the praise. Note that the commendation is sincere, and is not an attempt by the villain to screw with the hero's head. The villain may also do it because they and the hero are Mirror Characters. It may also be a Pet the Dog moment to show the villain isn't such a bad guy after all (even if they won't admit it). A Lawful Evil character, or a character with Evil Virtues, may have this as part of their personality, especially in a situation where Villains Never Lie. This can also be a trait of the Friendly Enemy (though depending on the work, it probably won't reach Go-Karting with Bowser levels). The Antagonist in Mourning may also do this as a tribute to the fallen hero (whether the hero is actually dead or not). May frequently overlap with Combat Compliment and Worthy Opponent, where the praise is given during a fight. Compare Villain Takes an Interest, where the villain may become interested in being a mentor to the hero, and compare and contrast We Can Rule Together, where the villain tries to convince the hero that they would do better working together instead of against each other. Naturally there is also a large overlap with Sympathy for the Hero. Compare Admiring the Abomination and Wowing Cthulhu. Contrast Your Approval Fills Me with Shame, where a villain praises the hero for a negative trait or action and the hero feels disgusted as a result. Compare Villainous Valour when there's something admirable about the villain's efforts. Also different from Baddie Flattery, wherein the villain is still sincere in his praise of a positive trait but the praise comes across as utterly creepy and disturbing (though this might be a sister trope to that one). And, again, note the second paragraph above. Please note: The character to whom the praise is given is generally a true-blue hero. If the Anti-Hero or the Anti-Villain is the recipient of the praise, it's a bit trickier since the former has villainous characteristics while skirting the line between good and evil, and the latter has heroic characteristics while still not being a clearly good guy. If the villain respects something relatively minor about the hero, it's The One Thing I Don't Hate About You. If the villain respects another unambiguous villain, that's Villain Cred. The Complete Monster may appear to apply this trope, but it is only out of pragmatic reasons since they have zero respect for the heroes or fellow villains whatsoever.

Villain Respect / int_1305c32	comment	Kamen Rider Fourze: The Big Bad Chairman Gamou generally treats the members of the Kamen Rider Club in an Affably Evil manner, but holds a special respect for the main Power Trio. He worked alongside Kengo's father, and obviously sees echoes of his former friend in the young man. Yuki managed to impress him with her enthusiasm for and knowledge of space exploration, and actually regarded her as a kindred spirit when she said that as a child, she heard voices she was convinced came from aliens trying to make First Contact (because Gamou heard the same voices in his own youth). As for Gentaro, in one episode he outright goes to Gamou to try and resolve a conflict between Yuki and the Monster of the Week, the Chairman seemingly impressed by Gentaro's honest and forthright nature. Not to mention The Movie, where Gentaro is in danger of dying and needs the help of 40 people with strong feelings for him; when time is running out and they're one person short, Gamou appears and offers his services of his own free will. The fact that his efforts worked speaks volumes.

It helps that his competition is Kalibak. In "Hereafter," one of Toyman's inventions seemingly kills Superman. Lois Lane is furious when Lex Luthor shows up at the funeral, but the billionaire admits that he genuinely liked the Man of Steel and will miss him now that he's gone. A dark version shows up in "Injustice for All," when Lex Luthor creates a new version of the Injustice League. The Joker crashes the party and helps the villains capture Batman when he comes snooping around to investigate. Once the Dark Knight is sufficiently Bound and Gagged, Joker immediately tells Luthor to kill him, saying that if he's left alive, he will find a way to escape and foil their plans. It's a sign of just how much the Clown Prince of Crime views Batman as a dangerous foe. In the Grand Finale of the series, Darkseid launches a full-scale attack on Earth. Superman fights him one on one, and though Darkseid eventually has the upper hand, he commends the Man of Steel for his efforts and promises that he'll cut his heart out and place it on a pike in his throne room as a prized trophy, which is about as "respectful" as someone from Apokolips can get.

However, she does not hesitate to acknowledge mankind's strengths and admits that, when unified, humanity is powerful. She even displays an acute understanding of how a small amount of hope can turn the despondent into determined warriors, calling it "undeniably mankind's greatest attribute", which is rather unusual for a villain like her. When Watts, who was previously derisive toward Cinder because she had been maimed in her encounter with the young and inexperienced Ruby, discovers that Ruby cut off the tail of Tyrian, his group's resident assassin, he's momentarily taken aback, and then becomes genuinely impressed, commenting that "the students aren't pushovers."

Villain Respect / int_366a284d	comment	Fist of the North Star: Three examples stand out, each time delivered by Raoh. When Raoh first fully appears in the series, he holds Toki, one of Kenshiro's staunchest fighting allies, in considerably high regard — in fact, for him, Toki is the only fighter around who could conceivably match him in a fair duel, the only drawback being that Toki is suffering from a terminal illness caused by nuclear fallout. It helps that Toki was previously seen as a Messianic Archetype and, prior to the nuclear war, was considered (including by Kenshiro himself) to be the most suitable candidate to become the Hokuto Shinken successor and would probably have, were it not for his illness. (It also says something when even Jagi is acknowledged by Ken to have admired Toki greatly.) Juza of the clouds earned Raoh's respect by not only mounting Kokuoh (Raoh's huge horse that can crush humans; only a few had mounted him) but by also being a formidable opponent that chose death instead of betraying the last general of Nanto (in the anime, Juza kept fighting even after his death). After that, Raoh ordered his army to give Juza a respectful burial. Raoh also gives this to Ken himself following their final fight (initially, Raoh had been dismissive of Ken being the Hokuto Shinken successor). It pulls multi-duty as a Final First Hug. In the 1986 movie, when Kenshiro finally arrives to Southern Cross to face Shin, it turns out that Shin had been defeated off-screen by Raoh himself before Kenshiro's arrival. Shin was already dying but he held onto life so Kenshiro would come and defeat him. Shin wanted to be defeated by Kenshiro's hands and nobody else because they loved the same woman: Yuria. This sign of respect was actually reversed from what happened in the manga and the TV anime: Shin refused to die by Kenshiro's hands so he took his own life by jumping from the palace balcony. Kenshiro buried him out of respect for their mutual love for the same woman.

Villain Respect / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: When King Piccolo is killed by Goku, in his last moments he actually manages a smirk and calls it "admirable." Vegeta develops this to Goku over the course of the Frieza Saga. He still wants to kill Goku for the hard time he gave him on Earth, but he does genuinely respect Goku's strength and sees him as a necessary ally against Frieza. In the anime, Vegeta sees Goku as a Super Saiyan after he's revived, and rather than be jealous or angry at the sight, he's close to shedding Tears of Joy. Frieza, during the Namek saga, shows his respect for Goku's strength by giving him an offer to join his army, considering it would be a waste if Goku died and even added that Goku would receive more work than Ginyu. Although, Frieza knew Goku would refuse, knowing how Saiyans are. Frieza gives subtle ones to Goku again, but this time, after he's brought back to life in both Resurrection 'F' and Dragon Ball Super. When Sorbet tells him that Goku has gotten much stronger, Frieza isn't surprised and expects it to be the case. When told the extent of Goku's growth, he's both surprised and impressed. When Frieza realizes what a God Super Saiyan is and what it implies for Goku, he takes a sincere bow in respect to Goku for having achieved godhood. Of course, he follows it up with an insult about how the God of Saiyans is still a Saiyan, but the sentiment was genuine. When he's brought back as a Villain Protagonist during the Universe Survival arc, Frieza consistently refers to Goku with the polite-respectful prefix of "Anata" (which is the rough equivalent of "My Good Sir"), even when he is enraged or thinking to himself. This contrasts the instances when he roared "omae" ("You~!" when addressing equals or social inferiors) or "Kisama" ("SCUM") after his Villainous Breakdown on Namek, and his uncontrollable contempt for Goku after being resurrected. Frieza also respected Bardock, Goku's father, for his last stand against him, to the point that when he first sees Goku, he immediately remembers him â€” the only one among the millions he slaughtered. Likewise, he shows a slight degree of respect towards Nail, the prodigy Namekian he battled during his attempts to get the Dragon Balls, owing it up to his impressive power level, which Frieza even said would have made him a worthy minion of his army. Granted, he proceeds to humiliate him after to show off, but compared to others who Frieza didn't even bother to praise (such as Vegeta later on), him at least sincerely recognizing Nail's strength is notable. In the Tournament of Power, Frieza is one of the only characters other than Piccolo to actually take Gohan's role as "team leader" seriously. Because Gohan was perceptive enough to recognize that Frieza was a Fake Defector and discrete enough to go along with his plan without tipping off Frost. Out of all the foes Cell fought, he has the most respect for Goku. He had so much fun fighting Goku that he wanted Goku to eat a Senzu so they could keep fighting. When Goku bows out of the Cell Games and tells Cell that there was someone stronger than him, Cell didn't believe him, saying that Goku was stronger than Vegeta and Trunks combined. Goku Black, the primary villain of Super's Future Trunks Saga, has virtually nothing but respect for Goku, to the extent that he comes off as a Loony Fan; every time they come face to face, he heaps praise on him and tries to copy everything he does. He even says that being like Goku is his life's goal. It's taken to truly disturbing levels upon the reveal that Black is in fact an alternate version of Zamasu, who became so fixated on Goku after losing to him in a sparring match that he used a wish on the Super Dragon Balls to swap bodies with him. He also praises the Super Saiyan Blue form, applauding Vegeta when he assumes it and declaring that it's magnificent to see a warrior race garbed in godly Ki.

He is fearless in battle, and even when his raiding party is exterminated, he's crucified on a tree in a desert, and starved until he's little more than skin and bones, he is strong enough to kill his captor with his teeth and escape. So it means that much more when, after the players defeat his army and he's captured by the traitor Gul'dan, his defiant speech is no longer about himself, but about how the players are an even more unstoppable force that Gul'dan has no hope against, using the same sort of descriptors used to define himself in legends.

"Destroy Malevolence": After Obi-Wan Kenobi effortlessly clears the battle droids set to ambush him in the hyperdrive control room and runs off, one says "That was impressive." Grievous responds by knocking its head off. When another droid claims that Anakin Skywalker's maneuver was clever he ducks when Grievous raises his fist, though this time Grievous lowers it instead of taking its head off. In "Prisoners", Tamson says he respects how difficult Lee-Char was to capture "as a hunter to his prey". Lee-Char replies that he neither needs nor wants the respect of his people's vicious oppressor. In "Shattered", a villain showing respect to another villain occurs. While Darth Maul despises his former master, Chancellor Sheev Palpatine/Darth Sidious, when he learns what Order 66 is and the full extent that Palpatine has manipulated every aspect of the Clone Wars, he can't help but express sincere admiration for his machinations.

Villain Respect / int_69d15cc0	comment	Marvel Cinematic Universe: Though exactly how villainous Loki actually is throughout Thor: The Dark World is put into question somewhat, there is the line: Luke Cage (2016): Mariah tends to show twisted forms of this towards Luke. Spider-Man: Homecoming: Adrian Toomes thinks Peter is a good kid and admires his tenacity as well as the fact he saves both his and his daughter's lives over the course of the film. Even when Peter continues to try to thwart him, he'd rather convince Peter to step aside rather than have to kill him. Even at the end, when Gargan wants to know Spider-Man's identity, Toomes pretends not to know rather than sell Peter out. Avengers: Infinity War: Thanos becomes genuinely impressed with the heroes who fight him on Titan and compliments them even as he's beating them half to death. He also expresses admiration for Peter Quill and Scarlet Witch when they are willing to sacrifice the ones they love most to keep Thanos from getting more of the infinity stones, even if their efforts are ultimately futile. Avengers: Endgame: Subverted. A version of Thanos arrives from 2014 and finds that the heroes are trying to undo his culling of half the universe. He dismisses them as ungrateful losers who can't give up on the past (note his whole quest was an attempt to prove himself right to his dead species). He decides to use the Stones they collected to kill the entire universe and then remake it so that the new universe won't know what they lost. What Ifâ€¦? (2021): In "What If... Ultron Won?", Ultron comments to Captain Marvel that she has spirit when she manages to blast him through the planet Xandar to its core, putting up an impressive fight against Ultron and coming closer to defeating him than anyone else in this timeline since he gained the Infinity Stones.

Notably, when he escapes from prison, Clarice knows instinctively that he won't come after her, because that would be rude. The third book, Hannibal, made the, um, controversial decision of having Hannibal and Clarice fall in love at the end.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Demise, the Demon King, is legitimately impressed with Link when they meet, as Link is the only human in history who has ever stood up to him rather than fleeing in terror. This is enough for him to offer to fight Link in a duel, giving Link time to prepare rather than attacking immediately. Doesn't stop Demise from cursing Link's entire family line with an eternally resurrecting incarnation of pure rage and hatred upon his death. Downplayed towards Groose, as Demise is mildly impressed that Groose was brave enough to dive in and catch Zelda after she was freed from Ghirahim's ritual.

Villain Respect / int_7aaf9e41	comment	Batman: This characterizes Ra's Al-Ghul's attitude toward Batman, as he consistently addresses the Dark Knight as "Detective" as a show of respect to the hero's intelligence and determination. The few times he faces Superman, he calls him "Icon." The only other person Ra's extends this honor to is Tim Drake (Robin III/Red Robin), who is regarded by Batman as the one person who will surpass his skills as an investigator. This is perhaps best seen in one issue of the Batman: The Brave and the Bold comic. After Batman is mortally wounded, the Phantom Stranger summons every Robin to help, and they concoct a plan to break into one of Ra's's Lazarus Pits to heal the Bat. While Dick, Carrie, Damian, and Jason go in to fight their way through the League of Assassins, Tim and Stephanie guard Batman — and are confronted by Ra's himself. Instead of fighting, all they have to do is explain the situation to Ra's, who agrees that Batman deserves better and has his own men carry Bruce to the pit. Depending on the Writer, The Riddler doesn't just have respect for Batman, but is driven by it. For Riddler, it's not about money; it's about matching wits with the World's Greatest Detective. In Batman: Zero Year, he even shows this for the few civilians who challenged him in Batman's absence. In Batman: Gordon of Gotham: Montoya is kidnapped while serving as the body double for the wife of self-centered South American ambassador Carlos Trujillo. She's quite a Defiant Captive (never breaking cover), and her impressed captors comment that "her" country made the wrong Trujillo their ambassador.

After this Bacon feels ethically obligated to treat Yuri with the utmost respect. Throughout the game Bacon conducts himself with so much respect for Yuri that even at their climatic final battle both agree A, Itâ€™s going to be a battle to the death and B, Itâ€™s Nothing Personal.

An angry Shiva immediately kills the Mook and apologizes to Richard for the interruption. They resume the fight, and this time Shiva comes out on top, killing Richard.

In one comic, several low-level criminals tell stories about their run-ins with various other DC heroes. At the end, it's revealed that Superman is taking them to the police station by flying their car over the city. When he gets there, he simply escorts the men out while at the same time respectfully giving them a You Are Better Than You Think You Are speech about getting out of crime. The last scene is of one criminal explaining to the other that this is why they operate in Metropolis. During The Death of Superman story arc, many prisoners in jail are shown as being happy that Superman is gone. At the same time, another majority of the prisoners admonish them for their attitudes, showing that even though Superman would put them in jail, they still respect the fact that he's a hero. During the Critical Condition story arc, Superman is poisoned with kryptonite radiation and is slowly dying. He's trying to find Lois, who has disappeared, and enlists Batman's help in finding her as he is too weak to do it alone. When Batman tries to question bikers at a biker bar where another woman disappeared under similar circumstances to Lois, they surround Batman and are ready to fight him when Superman, who is at this point barely able to walk, comes in pleading for their help. The next exchange is between Batman and Superman in the Batmobile after they get the info they need. In The Supergirl from Krypton (2004), Batman threatening to destroy Apokolips if Darkseid does not free Kara grudgingly earns him the tyrant's respect. Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom: When the titular villainess complains that she was only defeated because Superman is a coward who needed Supergirl's help, Darkseid retorts Superman is no coward, and she is completely out of her mind if she believes she can kill either of the Kryptonian heroes. In The Super-Revenge of Lex Luthor, Superman does not know why Luthor is saving him from several assassination attempts (later, he realizes that Luthor is trying to drive him mad with paranoia), but even so, he gives Luthor credit for that in an interview. As reading the newspaper, Luthor has to admit Superman is fair.

The Joker's reaction when he finds out he was being manipulated? To tell Kaiser, "It was a scheme worthy of me." The Joker also repeatedly shows a degree of respect for Batman, considering him a Worthy Opponent. In "The Man Who Killed Batman," a low-level mobster seems to murder the Dark Knight, and the Joker enters a Villainous BSoD. He even arranges a mock funeral for Batman and delivers a heartfelt eulogy about how much the hero meant to him. Granted, said eulogy is also being done as he prepares to kill the mobster who "took" Batman from him, but it's surprisingly sincere. In "Harlequinade," Batman enters an Enemy Mine with Harley Quinn to help track down the Joker in exchange for her being freed from Arkham. At the end of the episode, Harley has realized that the Joker planned to blow up Gotham with a bomb and abandon her to her fate, and has him at gunpoint. The Clown Prince of Crime taunts Harley, saying that she doesn't have the guts to shoot him—and then she pulls the trigger. It turns out it's one of the Joker's fake guns, but he's genuinely impressed that Harley was willing to stand up to him and cries "Baby, you're the greatest!" as he embraces her.

Villain Respect / int_960062b7	comment	Several villains in My Hero Academia feel respect, if not admiration, for the top hero All Might. The most prominent of these is "Hero Killer" Stain, who hates the greedy, self-serving nature of the current hero system and believes more heroes should be like All Might (read: straight-up Capes). He acknowledges those who have similar heroic personalities, like All Might's hand-picked successor Izuku Midoriya, and even saved Izuku from being abducted by a less scrupulous villain. Even villains who outright despise All Might acknowledge him, since they view him as the pillar holding up both the hero system and normal society, and target him in the hopes of destroying both. During the USJ arc, even Tomura Shigaraki has to pause for a moment to acknowledge Eraserhead's coolness when the latter prevents him from killing a student despite being beaten to a bloody pulp by the Nomu. During the Paranormal Liberation War, he acknowledges Eraser Head's coolness again when he charges into battle despite knowing that Shigaraki is now powerful enough to destroy cities, in order to protect Izuku. Muscular is a firm believer of the Might Makes Right trope, to the point that his concept of right or wrong boils down entirely to "if you can do what you want, then what you wanted was right". This, however, makes him respect whoever manages to survive or even fight back against him, to the point that he's outright happy and proud that a hero managed to take out his eye: the hero wanted to stop him and partially succeeded, so Muscular believes that losing an eye was the correct outcome. During the Internship arc, Kirishima and his mentor Fat Gum end up facing off against Rappa, an enforcer the Yakuza hired from an illegal pit fighting arena. Together, the two manage to beat him, and over the protests of his Yakuza handler, Rappa admits defeat and tells Fat Gum about a nearby room with a first aid kit where he can treat Kirishima's wounds ("Take care of that boy...no, that man before he bleeds out."). Admittedly, Rappa wants to show his respect properly by fighting Kirishima to the death, but that's just how he is. And Toga, in one of the few instances where this isn't because of bloodlust, has this to say about Izuku.

He still was very grateful to Harry for killing Alfyn Crowkiller — responsible for many Black Brothers' death — and acknowledged him as strong and competent enough to become King-Beyond-the-Wall. Nowadays, he's more friendly since the Norfolks don't make plans for going south. Varys is a more straight example, since he Does Not Like Magic and has no qualms about putting a hit on Harry's life. However, he notes the wizard must be an exceptional leader to take the wildlings and make them into a true nation.

Villain Respect / int_9e202b7b	comment	Kenichi of Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple has gotten this from several antagonists, including three members of the Yami group's One Shadow Nine Fists martial artists and at least one member of Yami's disciple group YOMI: Agaard Jum Sai, the One Shadow Nine Fists' Muay Tai master and the Rival Turned Evil to Ryouzapaku's Apachai Hopachai, is the first noted example among the One Shadow Nine Fists. Shortly after Kenichi defeats Tirawat Koukin, Agaard's student and a member of YOMI, Agaard commends Kenichi on his tenacity and praises his ability as Apachai's disciple, while at the same time telling Koukin there's no shame in losing to such a skilled opponent. Plus he gives Kenichi pointers on defending himself against a Master-class weapons user moments afterward, himself unable to help directly due to being temporarily paralyzed from his fight with Apachai. The second example is "God Fist" Akira Hongo, the Rival Turned Evil to Ryozanpakou's Sakaki Shio. When he momentarily derides his student Sho Kanou's Redemption Equals Death sacrifice to protect Miu during the D of D Tournament arc, Kenichi angrily declares that Sho's sacrifice was not a waste and he won't allow Hongo to say it was (interestingly, insulting Sho's memory is in fact a Berserk Button for Hongo). The exchange between them goes this way: The third example is the One Shadow a.k.a. Saiga Furinji himself, who commends Kenichi for his determination in protecting Miu, and later flashes his gauntlets to Kenichi from a distance as a mark of respect. Possibly subverted, since he was Good All Along anyway. As recently as Chapter 500, the newest member of YOMI Berserker expresses acknowledgment of Kenichi's fighting prowess even as they begin their skirmish at the amusement park where Kenichi and his friends had gone to relax (meanwhile, the other YOMI members are fighting Kenichi's friends).

Villain Respect / int_9e2f90f4	comment	In One Piece, Luffy gets this from at least four major figures over the course of the first half of his journey. Post-Time Skip, this is posed to continue as he earns the respect of many of the top-tier pirates in the New World. The first is Dracule Mihawk, who, as a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is technically an enemy of all pirates, but who proves himself to be somewhat of a Friendly Enemy to the Straw Hat crew and to Luffy and Zoro in particular (Luffy due to Mihawk's past association with the former's idol Shanks, Zoro due to Mihawk being impressed with his tenacity as a swordsman). Later on, during the Marineford Arc, Mihawk is again impressed by Luffy's determination and decides to test him on the battlefield. Despite how Luffy is no match for him, his charisma causes Whitebeard to order his commanders to keep him safe. Mihawk comments that this ability to turn everyone around him into his ally is 'The most dangerous ability on the seas'. The second is God Eneru, the Big Bad of the Skypiea arc, when Luffy declares that he is going to be Pirate King (this example could also be a Combat Compliment, since they're in the middle of a fight at the time). The third is Rob Lucci, during the Enies Lobby arc, who commends Luffy on his leadership skills and tells him that he (Luffy) is a better leader than Lucci's Pointy-Haired Boss Spandam. The fourth is Blackbeard, who commends and encourages Luffy to pursue his dreams no matter what anyone else says. Notable because this happens both before and after Luffy finds out who the person actually is, and the second time may be interpreted as being closer to Baddie Flattery. Post-Time Skip, Charlotte Katakuri. The absolute strongest of Big Mom's subordinates, out of all the examples listed here, he is perhaps the one that has come to respect Luffy the most. Over the course of their fight, Luffy's determination and refusal to condemn Katakuri for his physical and personality flaws inspires Character Development in the man, and by the end, he's stopped fighting Luffy for the sake of his family's expectations and instead fights Luffy for himself. By the end of the fight, Luffy is such a Worthy Opponent to him, that when Luffy proclaims he will defeat Big Mom and become the Pirate King, Katakuri genuinely believes him. The sixth is Kaido, who gains respect for two people, Kozuki Oden and Luffy. With Oden, he was the first to physically wound Kaido, leaving a deep scar on his chest. Kaido only won after Oden got distracted by a shapeshifter posing as his son. When Oden was to be executed in boiling oil, he manages to survive it for a full hour, and Kaido, as a sign of respect, puts him out of his misery with a bullet, while also revealing that he killed the shapeshifter that disrupted their fight. With Luffy, he saw him as yet another "upstart brat" in a long line of them. When Luffy attacked him in a village, Kaido barely felt his blows and simply took him out in one hit. When the raid on Onigashima happens, Luffy confronts him and delivers a punch that actually hurts him. Kaido smiles and starts to fight. Even after knocking him out twice, Luffy keeps coming back. It looks like the fight is over, but like last time, Kaido's opponent is distracted (this time by a government agent) and Kaido manages to smash Luffy's head. An upset Kaido seemingly kills the Cipher Pol agent in retaliation. But Luffy is still alive and ends up awakening his Devil Fruit's true power. Upon seeing Luffy return, Kaido is grateful and even apologizes for the distraction.

Villain Respect / int_9f380d17	comment	Record of Ragnarok has it in almost every fight of this Gods VS Mankind tournament (with the Gods being the "villains"), usually when the God fighting calls his human opponent by his name. First round: Thor and Lu Bu are both battle maniacs that only take pleasure in combat. In this fight, Thor ended up displaying his finest smile while Lu Bu met it with his worst. After Lu Bu's death, his subordinates and horse chose to follow him in death and charged at Thor. The latter smiled and gave them what they wanted in a sign of respect for Lu Bu. Second round: Zeus VS Adam. Adam can replicate any move and technique he sees; because of this, Gods such as Ares acknowledged his strength. Adam earned everyone's respect because of his absolute selflessness. Zeus stated he was foolish for thinking he could have defeated Adam easily and so he was forced to use his Adamas form in order to win. The fight then became so intense that both gods and humans spectators cheered as one. After being pushed back on the defensive, Adam can't do anything besides withstanding a barrage of attacks. At this moment, everyone was certain that Adam was done for, but Odin's raven comments that he was "one hell of a guy". Then Adam engages in a punch-out with Zeus. Adam dies in the midst of it, but even in death, his body relentlessly continues to punch back and only stops when Zeus is brought down to his knees. Fourth round: This time, the "villain" is on humanity's side: Jack the Ripper; and he faces Heracles. In the end, Jack kills Heracles, but is saddened by this, as Heracles showed indomitable love and kindness towards all humans, but also to Jack in his last moments, choosing to hug him with his remaining strength instead of killing him. Fifth round: Shiva VS Raiden Tameemon. Both could give it their all, no holding back, and by the end of the fight, they were both grateful to one another for this opportunity.

Although he overthrew Judah, as documented in Jeremiah 39, he gave orders that the prophet Jeremiah should be well taken care of (it helps that Jeremiah, under orders from God, had tried to convince the Jews to submit meekly to Nebuchadnezzar instead of trying to revolt). Later on, in the Book of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar showed regard to Daniel as the man who correctly interpreted his dreams (despite throwing Daniel's three friends into the fiery furnace). Both cases occur before his Heelâ€“Face Turn, which he himself talks about in Daniel 4.

Crocodile respects Luffy's ability, mostly since it proves he didn't lose to some pathetic rookie but rather the next rising star. Sengoku respects Luffy enough to offer him a Warlord position after Luffy defeats Lily Carnation and has Baron Omatsuri buried with his crew. This goes the other way in that Cross actually respects Sengoku. Until Enies Lobby anyway. The Straw Hats cause so much chaos that Doflamingo openly declares that he can't wait to see the sheer madness the Era of the Straw Hats will bring. Cross' To the Pain speech to Spandam impresses Sadi-chan enough to have her copy down his ideas and state that if he weren't a pirate, he'd make executive at Impel Down within six months. To say nothing of virtually all of the other Supernovas, including characters like Kidd and Bege.

Villain Respect / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: In "School Reunion", Mr. Finch has a healthy respect for the Doctor's intellect, and he is the only character Finch treats as an equal, even offering to share power with him. Now, Finch is a Manipulative Bastard, so he might be trying to play on the Doctor's ego, but either way, it almost works. Lady Cassandra from "The End of The World" gains a bitter respect towards the Doctor and his intellect after being bested by him and decides to work with him after possessing Rose Tyler in "New Earth", thinking that they have a better chance at figuring out the secrets of the cat nuns together. She also becomes infatuated by the Doctor's new looks to the point of giving him a passionate kiss and seems to enjoy her time as his companion without even bothering to reveal her facade. Cassandra also seems to develop a grudging admiration for Rose's beauty. She is a high-class Lady and a supremacist xenophobe, so she possesses Rose due to her being a pure human and as part of her revenge plot, but she eventually becomes enamored with her new (Rose's) appearance, to the point that she goes out of her way to show off her new looks. Despite her classist hatred towards Rose, Cassandra also seems to enjoy being in Rose's body and even proudly calls herself "the last human" even while possessing her, meaning she recognizes Rose as an equal that fits her conservative and eugenicist views. Despite the bitterness, Rose is still one of the people Cassandra shows the largest amount of respect towards, reflecting her pretentious and materialist views.

Villain Respect / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm: Lucius Malfoy, The Chessmaster extraordinaire, expresses this — albeit rather reluctantly because he utterly despises the man — towards Director Nick Fury. Baron Zemo is prone to this, when someone actually merits it. He is genuinely impressed by Harry's improvisation, noting it twice, before complimenting him to his face. He's also impressed by T'Challa's speed and, on their rematch, the improvements he has made to his technique, approvingly remarking that he is growing from "complacent cub to fearsome cat." Since he killed T'Challa's father in single combat, T'Challa isn't too pleased about this. Maddie Pryor, at this point an Anti-Villain, is impressed by Harry's unconventional but effective use of his powers, which allow him to keep ahead of more nominally powerful and skilled opponents. She's also later impressed by the fact that, while he's less powerful than she is, he's strong enough to fight on even footing with her. During the Bloody Hell arc, Dracula compliments Harry on the villains he has defeated and the reputation as a Terror Hero he has built amongst the supernatural community, specifically the fear he has inspired in its darker denizens — which, as one professional to another, he respects. However, it comes with this coda...

Best shown in "Challenge to the Police", where a congress of criminologists all but called Ginko a coward, prompting him to resign, and Diabolik went out of his way to humiliate the man who had taken over the hunt for the King of Terror while covertly preparing a heist that Ginko foiled â€” something Diabolik flat-out declared only Ginko could have done. In "Death in the Fist", we meet Big Bolt, a former champion-level boxer who, after having his leg busted for refusing to take a dive, opened a boxing gym where he'd have small criminals train and learn an honest job, also using a list of secrets of the criminal world to keep the mob from retaliating for taking away their low-level workforce. His personality and cunning quickly gained him the respect of a young Diabolik (who had infiltrated the gym believing he was turning low-level crooks into elite criminal mercenaries for the mob), and mob boss Sonia Yanez respected him enough that when she was led to believe Big Bolt had robbed her, she decided to not retaliate and instead let him have the satisfaction. When one of Yanez' men, who believed himself smarter than he was, tortured Bolt to find out his information, Yanez left him to the police and Diabolik beat him to death.

After chasing young Indy across Hell's half acre, over a moving train, and finally to the boy's home, he convinces the Sheriff that he was the legal owner of it and retrieves it with ease. By this point he's thoroughly impressed by Indy's own pragmatism and sheer determination, and gives Indy his trademark fedora and some genuine words of encouragement:

Villain Respect / int_eef5470a	comment	Rurouni Kenshin: During his time as The Dragon to Takeda Kanryu, Aoshi Shinomori has just unleashed his illusionary sword technique to inflict a (he thinks) fatal wound to Kenshin. Upset at this, Yahiko declares that he's not going to run away even if Aoshi kills him, prompting this response from Aoshi (fortunately, Kenshin gets back up shortly afterward): A later example is seen when Hajime Saito first appears, arriving at the Kamiya Dojo while posing as a medicine man. Sanosuke immediately sees through his disguise and punches him in the face (in the manga, hard enough to send him flying). However, while Saito suffers absolutely no ill effects from the punch, he commends Sano's strength even as he then outlines why the punch was ineffective. Makoto Shishio, the Big Bad of the Kyoto arc, gives an indirect version of this about Sanosuke after the latter has blocked Shishio's henchmen's bullets by punching the ocean surface and destroyed his battleship. Shishio freely admits that it was because he underestimated Sanosuke's worth (as well as Kenshin and Saito's Genre Savviness) that his plan to bomb Kyoto with said battleship ultimately failed.

Villain Respect / int_ef57d399	comment	The Mountain and the Wolf: The Wolf seems to genuinely respect the better fighters of Danaerys' court. Unfortunately, said respect is delivered in so heavy-handed a manner that they want nothing to do with it. During the siege of King's Landing, Jon Snow kills one of the Wolf's marauders after the latter goes berserk, cutting down Lannisters, Unsullied, and civilians alike. The next day, the Wolf shows up to give Jon the berserker's axe, armor, and severed head, telling Jon it's a good start for a collection. Grey Worm is regularly congratulated by the Wolf for his courage and skill, especially when butchering unarmed prisoners. This particular praise is so odious that Grey Worm orders a halt to the massacre. The Wolf addresses Daenerys as Dragonqueen and seems intent on helping her conquer King's Landing (he only stops killing Lannister prisoners when told that she'll decide their fate). However, he seems fixated on the idea that she do so by force, even arranging for her to be pushed into attacking the city when it looks like their surrender will come peacefully. Tyrion gets hit with the Wolf's obnoxious friendship after he wins a Drinking Contest and drunkenly reveals how he came to kill a man with a shield and once walked up to a pair of dragons to unchain them. As a result, the Wolf refers to him as Shield-slayer and even offers him a spot on his ship. Despite the two never actually talking, Wulfrik/the Wolf seems to respect Sandor Clegane, viewing him as a skilled warrior.

Also, it's revealed that Clifford, possibly the most antagonistic character in the series, came to respect Sena as a player and invited him to play for Notre Dame. In the Distant Finale, Agon gets a notable mention. Shin gets these moments for everyone, especially after Yukimitsu manages to see through his plan.

A group plotting the subjugation of telepaths makes clear that they consider telepaths to be better than ordinary humans. In fact, that's the reason for their plotting: they believe that humans can't possibly compete with them unless we have an unfair advantage.

Villain Respect / int_fa5e90fd	comment	In City of Heroes and City of Villains, we have Big Bad Lord Recluse, a no-nonsense, nigh-immortal, super-genius of the highest measure. The man rules his own country as a social darwinist utopia — to the point that he encourages assassination attempts against him, though, he assures everyone only gets one chance. However, when the Player Villain goes to the near identical future and kills him, then returns with his helmet as a trophy, Lord Recluse all but gives them a golf clap and declares he acknowledges them as his peers — ones which he will of course kill if they interfere in his plans but otherwise leave to their own schemes. Likewise, Lord Recluse has an automated airship of doom that routinely spawns over his capital as a "Giant Monster" type, the badge for destroying it claims: "You have successfully brought down one of Lord Recluse's flyers. Lord Recluse is amused." This sort of treatment of his fellow villains has resulted in both NPC and player villains having more respect for Lord Recluse than any other arch-villain. Heâ€™s a blatant Card-Carrying Villain but heâ€™s also an Equal-Opportunity Evil, Benevolent Boss, and that goes a long way to a country of outcasts, thieves, and psychos, grateful for a government that lets them be themselves.

When his time in the military places him under the command of Matthew, Thomas would later relate, in private, that Matthew was a good, honorable man, and when he's injured Thomas wishes him well in his recovery. He was stationed with Lady Sybil at the local hospital, and together they cared for dozens of injured soldiers from the war. Her death crushes Thomas who remarks that she was one of the few genuinely kind people he's ever known in his life.
