The Warrior Monk is a fighter defined by their faith, which serves as a weapon and armor the equal of any mundane wargear. He focuses his mind with sacred chants before the battle, quotes scripture while he smashes aside infidels, strikes with absolute conviction, and fights without fear or hesitation. He is a combination of the archetype of the warrior and the archetype of the shaman. Both archetypes share the need of rites of passage.
This character is often a member of a Church Militant, be it a martial-minded sect within a larger religion or the divine army of a powerful theocracy. Other Warrior Monks have more diverse backgrounds, and could hail from actual monasteries, master-apprentice relationships, or could even be self-taught. Warrior Monks may be shining examples of a religion's ideals, or in some situations may end up fighting a Church Militant if the latter has become a Corrupt Church. Others may ignore religious politics altogether, doing more for their faith by acting as an example.
This character type has two usual regional variants:
The Western form of Warrior Monk often turns out as a particularly devout Knight in Shining Armor, a heavily-armed and -armored crusader combining martial prowess with unmatched devotion to the ideals of the church (if not necessarily the church itself). Expect such warriors to be referred to as paladins or templars. In a fantasy setting, these Warrior Monks frequently enjoy tangible signs of their deity's favor, along with a variety of defensive, curative, or augmentative powers, overlapping with the Combat Medic's repertoire. They also occasionally have a few offensive abilities along with battle skills, too. Still, sometimes the best way to deal with a monster or evil-doer is with a good, solid blow to the head, so Western monks often arm and train with blunt weapons such as maces, warhammers and flails, especially if to overcome the vow to never shed blood literally.
The Eastern variant are mainly Buddhist in nature, though China has its Taoist mystics and Japan its Mikoshi and Shinto. Whether it be the saffron-robed Shaolin monks or the mountain-wandering Yamabushi or Shugenja, this seemingly-harmless, lightly-armed traveler unexpectedly displays incredible ass-kicking abilities at the sign of trouble, then gives some words of wisdom to any survivors. Due to the differences between Western and Eastern religions, these Warrior Monks tend to be more contemplative ascetics than dogmatic, crusading zealots, but are no less devout than their foreign counterparts; Eastern religion-based monks derive inspiration from fitness and effort connected with higher thought and understanding of themselves and the world around them (without forgetting that Gautama also was once of the warrior caste, having faithful bodyguards to protect him on his pilgrimages from danger, and Bodhidharma being traditionally held as the original teacher of physical prowess to Shaolin), and the mysteries of the world's dynamics, be it qi or the potential buddha in all, allowing one to understand how to flow with all of creation. When it comes to an Eastern-style Warrior Monk's powers, all bets are off: they can be wielders of a Martial Arts Staff, melee masters of Ki Manipulation, or walking avatars of elemental destruction.
If their cause is worthy enough, these characters can be among the most noble heroes in the world. Other times, Warrior Monks can become self-deluded extremists who let the end justify the means. Either way, Good Is Not Soft is likely to be in effect. It is also important to remember that evil churches can have (un)holy warriors, too.
This character type is usually confined to medieval settings, though modern examples exist. See Badass Preacher for when a holy man takes up arms to protect his flock, and Church Militant for religions that don't shy away from violence. Can sometimes overlap with Master Swordsman. Bare-Fisted Monk is a subtrope, and is by no means confined to Eastern-style Warrior Monks. May have Enlightenment Superpowers. Some examples of a Warrior Monk may be encouraged by their order to be a Warrior Poet. Due to many religions following the practice of tonsure, Warrior Monks who wield magical or mystical powers are also likely to be a Bald Mystic.

The Monk player class of Diablo III is a mixed example, being a martial artist who hails from the setting's equivalent of Russia and is a holy warrior in the vein of western examples while their religion is reminiscient of some combination of Buddhism and Hinduism (with its a large number of deities and belief in reincarnation) wearing clothing with inspiration from the former.

The Carawen monks of The Witchlands are a religious order founded to protect the Cahr Awen. As a result, they put heavy focus on combat training (a mix of Western and Eastern styles), and their mercenary branch is quite renowned for its effectiveness. Evraine and Aeduen were both trained by them, and even though the former is a healer, she's still an Action Girl.

The Kyoto and Nara sohei from Shi are based on the Buddhist warrior-monks of Japanese history (see "Real Life" below), but Buddhism rarely seems to come up and they act more like ninja. Interestingly, protagonist Ana Ishikawa's internal struggle to balance her sohei training and her grandfather's shaping of her into a tool of vengeance with her devout Catholicism makes her the straightest example of this trope in the comic.

The Fire Emblem series has tons of these. In some games you can promote the previously helpless Clerics into badass axe-wielding men of faith. Then there's the former dragon Gotoh, who gave men the gift of magic, from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem; Celica, one of the two protagonists of Fire Emblem Gaiden who wields swords as well as her White Magic; Frost from New Mystery of the Emblem; and Jodel from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, just to name a few.

In the Chinese Paladin series, the monks of Mt. Shu are this, dedicated to exterminating evil and aiding the just and innocent. They also have a demon-expelling mantra that doubles handily as a Badass Creed. Mo Yixi and the Sword Saint from the original series, and Xu Chanqing from the sequel, are primary examples.

Book of the Ancestor: the eponymous church of the Ancestor trains all its novices in hand-to-hand combat, swordfighting, dagger-fighting and other disciplines. Upon becoming fully-fledges nuns and monks, they can opt to become martial sisters/brothers and serve as the military arm of the church and as elite troops for the empire. In battle, they combine a serene state of mind they reached through meditation with rather western-style weaponry and fantasy/sci-fi armor.

The first game had naginata-wielding warrior monks fighting in the Honganji ranks and the second game features both Monk and Nun bodyguards, armed with naginata and able to create healing items for the player's sake.

The antagonists from the second season of Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt are the Nanyang monks — a Buddhist cult that rules over the Earth's South Seas. Initially affiliated with The Federation, they defect and oppose both sides at the end of the One Year War, and what they lack in technological warfare, they make up with dogmatic faith created by brainwashing from the leader's Newtype powers which goes as far as using suicide attacks.

The monks of Pillars of Eternity are bare-fisted fighters who wear little or no armor and use meditation and sometimes hallucinogens to achieve understanding. They believe that one can achieve enlightenment and purify the soul through pain, and their powers are activating by spending points they get as they take damage in combat. Whether a particular monk is more Eastern, Western, or something altogether different depends on their origin culture, but the companion monk introduced in White March, Zahua, hails from the Ixamitl Plains, and draws more from pre-Columbian Mexico than anything else.

Open Blue: Priests (and maybe nuns) trained by the Order of Saint Lennox, owing to the fact that most of them are sent off as chaplains aboard Avelian warships and thus, need to know how to defend themselves during battles with pirates. And the Order served as Avelia's Spanish Inquisition. v5 adds the Order of Saint Clara, which trains nuns to fight against The Legions of Hell and black magic, and the Order of Saint Micaela which, while specialising in exorcism, nevertheless trains its nuns in hand to hand combat, because the world in general is just dangerous.

The sfvantskors, warrior-mystics of the Old Faith from The Chathrand Voyages are basically what you'd get if you mixed Eastern-style ninjas, shaolin monks, and Western-style paladins.

The Church Knights from The Elenium and The Tamuli by David Eddings are an odd example. While technically orders of cloistered monks when not on the battle fields the normal rules of the clergy are relaxed for them. For example they can get married despite being clergy in an Expy of the medieval Catholic Church. What makes them really odd though is that in a world where Religion is Magic their magical powers come from the Styric Gods (and in the case of the Genedian Knights, the Troll Gods as well). It leaves them essentially straddling two religions while otherwise playing the trope (mostly) straight. Lampshaded within the books themselves when it finally dawns on them all that since 'magic' comes from gods they never really needed to go outside their own religion as the Elene god probably could have been convinced to do the same thing for them that the Styric and Troll gods do for their followers. It's concluded that the Elene god is so aloof, it's no surprise no-one thought it would be possible.

In Final Fantasy XIV, the Fist of Rhalgr is a sect of monks who seek to emulate Ala Mhigo's patron god, the Destroyer Deity Rhalgr, by seeking martial perfection. In addition to physical conditioning, the monks of the Fist of Rhalgr seek to open their "chakras", metaphorical valves that regulate the flow of aether, to channel explosives amounts of energy into their fists to produce destructive results.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: The Vigil of Stendarr is a Church Militant order dedicated to the Aedric Divine Stendarr, God of Justice, Mercy, and Compassion. They can mostly be found wandering the countryside purging supernatural threats (Daedra, Daedric Worshipers, vampires, lycanthropes, etc.) with their maces and spells. Despite serving Stendarr, they aren't a group big on mercy, and do not discriminate between worshipers of the more benovolent Daedra and/or Friendly Neighborhood Vampires. Their headquarters gets wiped out by a vampire order at the start of the Dawnguard DLC.

Warcraft: Paladins. In World of Warcraft, some variations apply:
Alliance paladins play it straight — they gain they powers (either defence, healing or ass-kicking) from their faith in Light. Draenei paladins actually have encountered the Naaru, who are Crystal Jigsaw Angels.
Blood elves put a twist: playable paladins were initially forcefully sapping their powers from the captured Naaru, resulting in their skills being a bit Darker and Edgier. Then the antagonistic blood elves stole their Naaru and continued to drain powers from him in their favour. Playable elves found that they still had their powers — it was The Plan on part of the Naaru to open them to a true Light. Their skills became more in-line with the Alliance versions, though they still had their specific mount.
Cataclysm adds tauren paladins into the mix, who, in line with their Nature Hero tendencies, get their powers from the Sun.
This also applies to a certain extent to Druids and Shamans, who are fuelled by their respective spiritual or religious organisations and who are fully capable of bringing the hurt up close and personal. This, however, is not as clear an example:
Druids shapeshift to fight, rather than relying on armour and weapons.
Shamans do not belong to a specific religious organisation but rather follow the spirits of the land directly.

In Elantris all clergy of the Derethi religion are trained in monasteries where they learn combat skills, among other things. This is taken to its most extreme by Wyrn's favorite enforcers, the Monks of Dakhor, who use a combination of Body Horror and Blood Magic in tandem with fighting skills to make them so dangerous that opponents of the Derethi sometimes call them demons.

Johnny Mnemonic: A hulking, cyber-enhanced assassin is sent after Johnny who dresses like a Franciscan monk and rants about religion.

Princess Mononoke: The cynical Jigo completely inverts the traditional image of a Japanese Buddhist warrior monk. Instead of being a fighter for a righteous cause, or a contemplative mystic with Enlightenment Superpowers, he and his mercenary band lack any and all moral scruples which would otherwise prevent them from carrying out any act, no matter how repugnant, as long as they gets paid for it, and he makes no attempt to hide this fact. Neither do we see him meditating, reciting mantras, nor performing any kind of Buddhist ceremony.note This is likely due to The Law of Conservation of Detail; however, he doesn't seem to be like the person who would perform these rituals even in the most hypocritical manner The most Buddhist thing about him are probably his robes.

Garr from Breath of Fire III may deceive some with his looks (he's, after all, a giant, alcohol-loving gargoyle), but he shows early hints of this like his giant beads and the praying pose he does when casting magic. Then mid-way through the game he's revealed to be part of a very devout city and he's, himself, part of a group of "angels" sent by God to eliminate evil. And it turns out the "God" is none other than Myria (BOF1's Big Bad, and the "evil" is the series' protagonist race, the Brood/Dragon Clan.

E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy: The eponymous E.Y.E. are described as psi-cybernetic warrior monks. Interestingly, while they all follow the western form of this trope (being armor clad and fighting with guns, Psychic Powers and cybernetics rather than martial arts), they are split into two factions because of resource shortages. While there are few other differences between them, the Culter Dei (player's faction) wear medieval European style armor, while the Jian Shang Di wear armor reminiscent of samurai or ninja. Additionally, rather than being part of a church, they are the militant arm of a group of megacorporations and their main purpose is to fight the Metastreumonic Force, with no mention of any gods. Naturally, the whole setting is heavily inspired by Warhammer 40,000.

The Legend of Zelda: In the two earliest installments, Link was definitely this trope. (Both games feature the same Link.) He was a righteous warrior who had a Crucifix on his shield and carried a Holy Bible in his inventory, and was willing to selflessly and unquestioningly risk his life to rid the world of evil. He used a cross to see invisible enemies, and even learned a special swordsmanship technique from a knight in in a church. Even more, one of his "magic spells" is actually represented with an image of him praying.◊ Later installments abandoned this motif.

Mass Effect 2 adds not one but two Warrior Monks to Commander Shepard's team.
First is Samara, a member of a very rare sect of asari warriors who swear off having family or possessions beyond weapons and armor, and follow a strict Code which obligates them to protect the innocent and stop lawbreakers. Samara at one point compares herself to a Knight Errant or a samurai.
On a more informal level, meanwhile, there is Thane Krios, a drell assassin and devout polytheist who kills people he believes deserve to die in an effort to make the galaxy a better place. Best illustrated in his first lines:
Neither of these are straightforwardly "holy" characters. Samara's Code takes a very hardline stance toward crime, and though she's capable of finessing situations to keep from being forced to take unnecessary action, she makes it clear that this only goes so far. Thane's religion, meanwhile, takes the concept of a soul separate from the body a step or two beyond human faiths, to the point that he makes a clear distinction between acts of his own personal volition and acts that are performed solely by his body (for example, in the service of others, a mindset doubtless informed by the fact that he was raised as an assassin from the age of six) — he holds himself no more responsible for the latter than he would consider a gun to blame for shooting someone, a philosophy that would probably make prosecuting a drell serial killer a real headache.

The gunslinger kick-ass "priests" in Equilibrium also fit in this trope. They are referred to as clerics and their leader is called Father.

Jōjū Senjin!! Mushibugyō:
Mushikari member Sougan has the typical looks and attire of a buddhist warrior monk and even wields the Purgatory Spear, a massive hybrid of naginata and trident which can generate explosions when the handle is twisted. He's described as the most devoted, rational and no-nonsense member of their group, wishing to deliver their target to the flames of Hell. He's also some amount of Villainous Valor, being all too willing to sacrifice his arms in an attempt to take down the hero.
The brothers Miyoshi Seikai and Isa, two of Sanada Ten Great Bugs, retain a monk-like form as giant roaches, but ruthlessly kill people to "save their souls", praying the Buddha Amida as they murder innocents.
Isshin of the Temple Patrol group of the Mushibugyo is a former monk, still sporting the looks and clothing while fighting with a massive rifle made specifically to slay bugs. However, the ghastly looks of the victims of the bugs made him so jaded towards the thought of sending them to Heaven through prayers that he lost his faith and stopped praying for the dead, believing that it does nothing for the corpses. Jinbee's burning determination in trying to save even a clearly doomed farmer from his gruesome end change his mindset as he swears to pray for the deceased as soon as they're done with the anthill fortress.

Similarly to Exalted above, in Anima: Beyond Fantasy, having the game's setting that it has, the two types coexist within the Church of Abel but the Western flavor has elements of the Eastern one (Ki attacks and the like) too.

Depending on their type of magic, rune mages in The Dragon Prince could fit either the Western or Eastern variant of this trope. Sun mages are also referred to as "priests," and examples such as Babukar from Tales of Xadia use their magic for battle, seeking "worthy foes" to defeat. Sky mages, meanwhile, share the mysticism, ascetics, and acrobatics of Eastern-style warrior monks.

Dragon's Crown has a Female Warrior Monk who serves as the supporting NPC in the Forgotten Sanctuary. She was crippled by a demon while trying to purify the place with the Holy Symbol and has to rely on you to stop the Demon King's resurrection. Despite this, if you choose to stop the Demon King directly and take too long fighting his Arch Demon, she will still manage to fight her way through the dungeon despite her injury and successfully place the Holy Symbol on the Sanctuary's altar to wipe out the remaining demons for you.

In The Elder Scrolls, the Blades have elements of this. The Blades are an Ancient Order of Protectors who have long served the emperors of Tamriel as bodyguards and spies. They undergo Training from Hell that turns them into a katana-wielding One-Man Army with spy skills. Many Blades are also predisposed to the worship of Talos, the Deity of Human Origin who is the ascended form of Tiber Septim, the founder of the Third Tamriellic Empire and the person who re-formed the Blades after they were previously dissolved. The Order of Talos soon formed within the Blades in his service. Given that the Blades are essentially Samurai crossed with a western-style order of knights, they have traits falling on both sides of this trope's variants.

A Song of Ice and Fire has a few:
Thoros of Myr is a red monk of the fire god R'hllor as well as a fearsome fighter. He has overthrown many a man in a melee with his Flaming Sword and was famously the first warrior over the wall during the siege of Pyke. He lapsed in his faith for some time until early in the series, when he experiences a re-awakening.
The Drowned Men are holy men of the Drowned God who are expected to take up driftwood cudgels and kick ass for the faith when heathens are about.
The men of the Night's Watch belong to a semi-monastic order where they have to have vows of celibacy and renounce all claims to heritage and lands. Calling them monks would be a stretch, since they don't subscribe to a faith (though recruits swear their vows before the Seven or the Old Gods, whichever they choose). The celibacy vow is very lax, as they are informally allowed to have sexual relations as long as these don't produce any offspring. The recruiting has also become gradually lax as well, as they have to scrape from the bottom of the barrel and recruit mostly from convicts and criminals, whereas in better years many lords and heirs "took the Black". The Watch has become a form of punishment, and not a very appetizing one; in the eventuality that a criminal has to choose between jail, execution or "taking the Black", most criminals would chose the alternative to the Watch.
The Faceless Men of the House of Black and White are a monastic order based on Braavos of highly specialized and skilled assassins who are in service of the Many-Faced God, a composite god of the multiple religious facets of death. They are said to be skillful enough to achieve even better results than thousands-manned armies.
The Faith Militant is a more straightforward example of warrior monks reminiscent of knightly orders of Christianity in the real world. Basically, enforcers of the Faith of the Seven, the Faith Militant has had various conflicts with the Iron Throne because of their belief that they answer to a higher power than the Kings of Westeros, making them almost completely unaccountable, overtly zealous, and unbending. The early Targaryen kings had constant problems with the Faith Militant that they could not solve through forceful means and the ensuing conflicts left innumerable deaths on both sides until peace was reached by justified concessions leading to a complete armistice of the Faith Militant; then Cersei Lannister gave them leave to arm themselves again.

The Brothers Battle from Fading Suns are an odd combination. On the one hand, they're a future version of The Knights Templar, complete with banking, but on the other hand, they're also known for the deadliest unarmed martial art in the Empire. Meanwhile, their characteristic Powered Armor isn't really associated with either archetype.

Legend of the Five Rings has many orders of monks, several with varying levels of martial expertise.
Some members of the ise zumi tattooed monks of the Dragon Clan and certain sects of the Brotherhood of Shinsei train specifically as warriors, particularly those in the Dragon Clan's Hitomi order or the Brotherhood's Order of Osano-Wo.
This is in addition to many orders of monks, even those who are nominally pacifists, that still train in martial techniques as a spiritual practice. (Their vows of pacifism also generally don't apply to anyone or anything corrupted by the Shadowlands.)
But the Spider Clan's warrior monks (directly inspired by Japan's historical sohei) are the best example of this trope, as befits their clan's harsh position as Rokugan's Social Darwinist clan.

The Monk class is a recurring archetype in Final Fantasy. Most frequently taking inspiration from warrior monks and martial arts masters, they excel at pummeling their foes with their bare hands while often seeking some form of spiritual or martial enlightenment.
In Final Fantasy IV, Yang is the first named monk in the series and one of the highest ranked and morst respected warrior monks of Fabul, a nation famous for training its soldiers to fight with their bare hands.
In Final Fantasy XIV, the Fist of Rhalgr is a sect of monks who seek to emulate Ala Mhigo's patron god, the Destroyer Deity Rhalgr, by seeking martial perfection. In addition to physical conditioning, the monks of the Fist of Rhalgr seek to open their "chakras", metaphorical valves that regulate the flow of aether, to channel explosives amounts of energy into their fists to produce destructive results.

Warhammer 40,000 has several. Although the Ecclesiarchy is a Church Militant that mostly restricts itself to preaching and keeping the whole Imperium fanatical, some priests and drill-abbots actually go into the field and handle some military duties alongside the Imperial Guard, some Inquisitorial cells, and most notably the Sisters of Battle, who are technically a group of client institutions of the Ecclesiarchy.
While the Adepta Sororitas have many orders dedicated to medicine, diplomacy, and scholarly pursuits, there are the Orders Militant, better known as Sisters of Battle, who really play this trope straight.
In terms of individual Space Marine Chapters, there is something of a sliding scale of this trope. Most Chapters are essentially monastic and militant brotherhoods, and have their members doing little more than sleeping, eating, praying, and drilling for most of their members not at war; and are prone to shouting out mantras, litanies, invocations, canticles, and other Imperial catchphrases in the middle of battle. But in spite of this, many Space Marines think of their founder and true master, normally referred to as the God-Emperor of Mankind by most of humanity, as a very powerful man and nothing else (going along with his own opinion on the matter).
The Black Templars, rather unsubtly, play this trope completely straight, since they're a notoriously devout and furiously puritanical chapter. They draw many elements and inspiration from the Teutonic Knights and the Knights Templar.
The Dark Angels and successor chapters, however, play this trope just a little less unsubtly, as they are essentially Arthurian knightly orders. However, they are less monastic than the Black Templars, whose sources of inspiration were founded on religious grounds.
The Grey Knights, a specialized Chapter of Space Marines serving as the arm militant of the Ordo Malleus, the branch of the Inquisition that specializes in fighting Chaos, are the only faction that has never had an example of anybody turning over to Chaos, so their ranks will inevitably include some Ecclesiarchy priests and the odd Adepta Sororitas elements.
And of course, since dark deities also occasionally flirt with this trope, darkly devout Chaos Space Marine chapters and warbands fit. Most notable is the Word Bearers legion, who are arguably the ones ultimately responsible for the state the galaxy is in, who were the first Crusaders of Chaos, opened the way to Chaos worship for every other Imperial faction, and of course remain its most fanatical followers. Ironically, the Word Bearers turned to Chaos because the Emperor rejected their worship of him, culminating in him sending the Ultramarines to demolish the cathedral city the Word Bearers built in his name and forcing them to kneel before him in subjugation. The sting and humiliation of rejection coupled with their need to worship a higher power led them to Chaos.
Finally, Space Marine Chaplains and Dark Apostles are the spiritual leaders within Space Marine Chapters and Traitor Legions. These guys are fanatical and charismatic to the point that they become spiritual leaders of good and evil orders of Warrior Monks, which is impressive in itself.

The evil monks in "Tooth and Claw" were martial artists, which was a bit out of place given that they were 19th-century Scots.
More justified in "The Abominable Snowmen", which takes place in a Tibetan monastery. The monks were peaceful until the attacks by the Yeti forced them to train Warrior Monks for their defence.

Krillin from Dragon Ball. He was already a strong warrior during his introduction, but by the end of the series, he's one of the strongest humans in the world. Debate among fans rages on whether he's the strongest.

Journey to the West: averted by the mortal Tripitaka, but played straight by his three disciples Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy, who are all very powerful demigods capable of defeating demons with ease and chase away whole armies. Monkey himself is strong enough to be able to run at full speed with two mountains on his shoulders.

Fengshen Yanyi: At one poin, Jiang Ziya tells his men that there are three types of people a general must fear to meet on the battlefield: Taoists, Buddhist Monks and women, for all three of them are more likely to have mastered sorcery and arcane powers. Indeed, all three of them are commonly encountered as extremely dangerous opponents.

Yorick Mori, the Shepherd of Lost Souls, from League of Legends hails from a monastery of the Blessed Isles, containing elements of western and eastern influence, up to wielding a modified Buddhist monk's spade as his primary weapon. He is also the last of his kind after the isles were ruined and became the undead-infested Shadow Isles, and fights to undo their curse.

Codename: Kids Next Door: The Kids Next Door could fit this trope to a certain degree, though they're modeled mostly as a military organization, the kids that join them are generally taught and trained to fight to protect kids and their rights from evil, and do whatever is associated with achieving that goal. And KND Operatives, for the most part, have an ingrained determination to fight for that cause while never giving it up. Those traits give the KND much in common with warrior monks. Essentially, they're taught to fight for an ideal, though not political or religious, has been what kept the KND together and what might be the cause of how it's an organization that's been around since the 19th century.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Gyomei Himejima, the Hashira of Rock, used to be a blind monk before being blamed for the massacre of a demon and saved by the Oyakata. He's an extremely powerful warrior swinging around a chain with a giant metal sphere on one end and an axe on the other and he still carries around a rosary and often spouts the Jodo Sect buddhist prayer.

Age of Empires:
In Age of Empires III, most healer units (usually represented in the series by monks) have a weak melee attack, but "The WarChiefs" introduces the Warrior Priest, unique to the Aztecs, and The Asian Dynasties introduces religious settlements as minor civs, all of which gives a warrior monk-like unit (except for the Jesuits, which give Conquistadors).
Age of Empires IV introduces the Warrior Monks, exclusive to the Rus.

Majesty features Monks trained at the temple of Dauros, the God of Law, who are a mashup of both varieties; they specialise in hand-to-hand combat that apparently draws from Kung-Fu, but their aesthetic is decidedly Catholic, including something very like Gregorian chanting being audible from the temple when at least one monk is resting there.
The Paladins, also made available by building a Temple to Dauros, are rather obviously based on Joan of Arc.

While not actual monks, in Eyeshield 21, the students of Shinryuuji High School (Shinryuuji means Temple of the Dragon God) are encouraged to invoke this trope, often meditating and reciting Buddhist scriptures. Also subverted since we're often reminded that underneath their stern personas, they're really just your typical girl-crazy teenage boys.
