Warrior Therapist	comment	The Warrior Therapist is a master of combat who also took a few psychology courses to round out his education. How else can you explain their ability to perfectly guess their opponent's hidden desires, ambitions, marital status, and mother's maiden name just by watching them swing a sword at his head? A good Warrior Therapist can deliver a life-changing motivational speech and kick your ass at the same time (see Defeat Means Friendship). An evil (or Terror Hero/Anti-Hero) Warrior Therapist will use their knowledge to intimidate and unnerve their foes, gleefully eroding their confidence and will to fight; sometimes to the point of breaking them entirely. A villain who suggests that he and the hero aren't so different, for example, is using the tools of a Warrior Therapist. See also Talking the Monster to Death for another variation of this trope.

Warrior Therapist / int_1367cea0	comment	Tattletale, in Worm, wears down her enemies by slowly picking away at their psychological armor. It helps that she has superpowered intuition allowing her to acquire/guess all the information she needs at a moment's notice. She knows she can't physically compare with most other parahumans so she has to outwit them and crush their will to fight her. Several characters know not to listen to anything she has to say (whether that stops her or not).

Warrior Therapist / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: Kisuke Urahara is the Eccentric Mentor version of a Warrior Therapist. In his early training with Ichigo, EVERYTHING consisted of beating the crap out of him while spoon-feeding him some important tidbit about the facts of life and combat. Subverted with Zommari who thinks he's this but utterly fails to understand Byakuya. Ichigo Kurosaki shows that he is this in his battle with Gin Ichimaru stating, "I'm not saying I don't remember your blade. I'm saying I don't remember your heart. When you cross blades, you can tell a little of what your opponent's thinking. I'm not saying you can read their mind or anything like that, but you can tell what kind of resolve lies behind their blade, whether they respect you or look down on you. That kind of thing, you can tell. When I'm actually fighting, there's no time to think about it, so I don't usually realize until afterwards, but in general, the stronger the opponent is, the more of that "heart" seems to come across." He shows it again after his battle with Aizen when he tells Kisuke Urahara that he believes Aizen was lonely due to his overwhelming power and skill isolating him from everyone else, and desired to find someone else like him. This trait of his is reflected in both halves of Zangetsu, who seem built to teach Ichigo through combat. Black Zangetsu acts as an Old Master who urges Ichigo to maintain his resolve, the source of his spiritual power, and also gives tips like empowering his attacks by knowing their names. White Zangetsu, though being more of a Jerkass about it, nonetheless teaches Ichigo about the importance of having a killer instinct and embracing his more "negative" aspects.

Warrior Therapist / int_1f76648	comment	Touma of A Certain Magical Index has a few of these moments, including in his fight against Kanzaki where he called her out on her treatment of Index, and Accelerator, twice. The first time was accidental, and he became a slightly better person by using Touma as an example, but the second time was deliberate. The results are Accelerator getting over his fears that he can be nothing but a villain. One of his skirmishes against Misaka, when she was trying to sacrifice herself against Accelerator in order to stop the Experiment, and he stopped her by not fighting counts as well. He is able to lecture Lessar 15 minutes straight about proper girl mannerisms that she gets worn out listening to it.

Warrior Therapist / int_248a0d14	comment	Lie to Me is in general an action psychology show. Its main character, Cal Lightman, is a tooth and nails sort of psychoanalyst/interrogator, combining interrogation techniques with the science of facial expressions he developed (in real life this science was developed by Paul Eckman). Lightman occasionally goes up against the odd Hannibal Lecter character and ends up winning the inevitable game of Xanatos Speed Chess that results. And has his own Warrior Therapist in Gillian Foster, who was his shrink at the DOD before they went into business together.

He's submitted himself to a prophecy that seems to guarantee his happy ending if he kills Lightning, despite every fiber of his being saying that's wrong. After a warm-up duel, Lightning plays up on her status as Bhunivelze's savior, an "inhuman agent of the divine", in a bid to provoke Noel's old iron-hard resolve; it works, and Noel finds the strength to smash the Oracle Drive and abandon that emotional dead end.

Warrior Therapist / int_2e3e7ac2	comment	Justice League: The Martian Manhunter seems to act as this for Justice Leaguers who need help. Wildcat in particular was seen being sent to him on Superman's suggestion after he believed he had killed the Green Arrow in a fight since he had become addicted to ring fighting in an underground tournament run by an evil, greedy woman, who encouraged him to kill. Wildcat stated that talking to the Manhunter and trying to work through his addiction would easily be the hardest thing he'd ever done. Batman frequently employs tactical psychological manipulation of his opponents in combat. The best example of this occurs when he pulls it on himself—or rather, his Justice Lord counterpart pulls it on him, eroding his will to fight in the middle of an intense battle by pointing out that in the totalitarian alternate universe of the Justice Lords, a random petty crime would have never claimed Thomas and Maria Wayne's lives. The Justice Lord Batman has it turned back on him when after seeing a random citizen utterly terrified by the authorities over a minor thing that shouldn't have been an issue, Batman sarcastically comments that "Mom and Dad would have loved it here, don't you think?", which forces Justice Lord Batman to realize his parents would have been ashamed at the man he'd become.

Warrior Therapist / int_30a5ebfd	comment	The title character of Naruto is the good kind, but tends to be somewhat crude in his methods. It seems to work well, though — on more than one occasion, he's turned an enemy into an ally by means of a well-timed inspirational speech and a well-placed right hook. Fans call it the Talk no Jutsu. He has an even better track record with turning allies of convenience into actual friends through Warrior Therapy. It seems the writers responsible for the Filler plotlines can't do drama without having him doing this. Lampshaded with a conversation between the Sand Siblings at the Kage meet. Big Bad Tobi/Obito Uchiha, as Naruto's Evil Counterpart, is an evil one. Naruto eventually gets through to him too. Other characters wield the same methodology to varying degrees, like Neji, whose supernatural vision and psychology training allow him to read significantly into an enemy's body language. When Itachi gives his brother unconditional love, Sasuke himself asks for therapy from Senju Hashirama, the First Hokage.

This evolves into full-blown Hannibal Lectures later on when they're fighting each other as enemies; Nietzsche Wannabe Ducard frequently makes snide comments about Bruce's emotional "weaknesses" (hope for a better world, compassion, and mercy) and claims that he and Batman aren't so different.

Warrior Therapist / int_3e4d48d5	comment	Food Wars! has its own version of the trope. Since the characters battle with food dishes, these battles often play out with the better dish overwhelming the loser, evoking something inside. The protagonist Soma clashes against the elite at his school, but where others are content to break their opponents completely, Soma tries to raise them up. Where the villains' dishes are often made with presumptions about Soma, absolute confidence in their own way of thinking, and vile intent behind their actions, Soma's own dishes tend to rock them to their core with his unorthodox techniques and perspective. Usually by giving them food-induced flashbacks to their own origins of cooking or events that traumatized them, Soma ends up reforming those who otherwise were on the wrong path, often gaining them as allies and friends.

Even though she is intended to be creepy and cold Rei still sets out to help Shinji, Asuka, even Ritsuko this way. Rebuild of Evangelion takes it further with her convincing Gendou to get closer to his son. Mari from Rebuild of Evangelion as well, funnily enough. Despite being a Cloudcuckoolander Blood Knight, she's the only cast member without major psychological issues and was critical in preventing the other pilots from making the same mistakes as before. It was Mari who urged Asuka and Shinji to untangle their complicated feelings towards each other while serving as the blue oni to Asuka's red. She constantly helped the characters develop and progress, and in a way, she existed partially to help them gain a grip on themselves. In the final film, Shinji ends up with her because she was the fresh start he needed. While both Rei and Asuka symbolized Shinji's need to run back to comfort or throw himself into work (respectively), Mari symbolized his growth from a traumatized young boy to a stable adult.

He deliberately turns up while Sesshoumaru is emotionally vulnerable fully aware of what happened and why Sesshoumaru couldn't fully master Tenseiga. Inuyasha's arrival allows him to immediately realise the half-breed younger brother was chosen over Sesshoumaru to receive Tessaiga. Most of the fight consists of Shishinki insightfully exposing every single one of Sesshoumaru's fears over the meaning of the two swords and whether it's proof his father hated him. This culminates in the Awful Truth, causing an Heroic BSoD that lasts beyond the fight and takes a while for Sesshoumaru to recover from.

The player character is sent inside the mind of the long-dead Emperor Pelagius the Mad, where you must do battle with his self-doubt and paranoia to render him sane. As quest-giver and player character are sociopathic adventurers, 'sane' means 'stop hating yourself and hate everyone else'. Which ironically would have resulted in less slaughter while he was still alive.

This is also a case of Fridge Brilliance, as her powers mean she is granted insights into their true natures, and is able to pick up skills at an accelerated rate- in other words, she picked that trait up from her own therapy sessions.

Warrior Therapist / int_60156176	comment	Both Cordelia Vorkosigan and her son Miles from the Vorkosigan Saga make a habit out of this. Cordelia is actually so good at this that she is eventually able to drop the Warrior part entirely and rely entirely on her ability to emotionally dissect someone. The planet-ful of security guards might help. In Shards of Honor, while Cordelia is a POW, the sadistic enemy CO ties her to the bed and then turns loose his deranged orderly on her — and from this helpless position, she still manages to successfully diagnose and empathize with her own attempted rapist, to the point that he decides not to go through with it after all — and then turn right around and kill his commanding officer so that he can finally be free. She also passes this skill along to the Emperor Gregor, to the point that he uses it on her in Mirror Dance.

Warrior Therapist / int_630755ab	comment	Used by Tavi in Codex Alera. In particular in Captain's Fury he manages to defeat a vastly superior (but mentally unbalanced) opponent in a swordfight by attacking her psychological weak points during a Blade Lock, allowing him to defeat her because Sanity Has Advantages. This is one of the darker expressions of this trope. He uses what is in essence a Hannibal Lecture to ruthlessly assault her fragile mindset and then exploits the ensuing reaction by impaling her. It's especially dark because the weakness he exploits in her is something he shares. Tavi is almost Mary Sue-like in his compassion for the fallen and eagerness to make allies, so to see him dredging up someone else's worst memories to get the advantage of them in a fight, especially considering that he can only do so because he has the same problem, was jarring. Also used by Isana in Princeps' Fury. She challenges Antillus Raucus to the juris macto and proceeds to wear down his mental walls and reasoning in order to get him to agree to a truce against the foes he's been fighting and commit his Legions to a greater enemy. She's very nearly killed before finally succeeding.

On a less literal note, Vegeta becomes something like this, though only to himself. During his finale of Episode 10, he remarks about the possible reason behind his Tranquil Fury, and later on, after revealing the depths of his humiliation to Cui and then blowing him up to ensure that he would never tell anyone of it, Vegeta says that he loves therapy, and later on deliberately represses the memory of Dodoria's revelations. Considering that his anger seemed to have broke in Episode 18, his self-therapy doesn't really seem to be working very well.

Namely, not only was Luke actually a bit less at fault for everything but due to Van and Luke being alone down in the mines when Van forces him to use Hyperresonance to destroy the control ring and Asch not telling anyone what Van's plans were and then getting temporarily kidnapped by Van as he leaves Luke to die down there, the party (Except for Ion and Jade) turns on Luke and actually blames him for what happened while not giving him a chance to explain anything, when ironically in canon they only reacted negatively to him trying to blame everyone but himself for what occurred and his treatment of them. It was so bad that Asch was afraid that if he didn't do something quickly, Luke would break irreparably, so he provoked Luke into a duel and talked things out with him telepathically.

He was an actual psychiatrist who turned to villainy because he felt undercompensated for dealing with unruly teenagers while their parents paid their garbage men more money. He uses illusions and his knowledge of the human psyche to manipulate people by giving them what they think they want and what they want to believe. In one episode he frames Terry for murder by showing Commissioner Barbara Gordon an illusion of Terry beating Mad Stan to death. When he is eventually discovered and captured, he calls her out for being an Inspector Javert towards Terry, an accusation that seems to leave an impression on her.

Warrior Therapist / int_7988cb68	comment	Mass Effect's Commander Shepard, when played as a Paragon, can end up spending about as much time counseling people as he or she does fighting. Renegade Shepard, meanwhile, is far more likely to just shoot people, but can sometimes act as a much more cynical variety of Warrior Therapist. Either way, bullets appear to be quite integral to their therapeutic method. This trope is taken to its logical extreme when, if Shepard consistently attempts to reason with the Big Bad Saren during combat, Saren will acknowledge Shepard as correct and shoot himself in the head! Even moreso in Mass Effect 2, where to Earn Your Happy Ending you have to solve your entire crew's problems, which range from dealing with an odd form of puberty to various forms of rescuing. Lampshaded in Mass Effect 3, where Shepard will ask EDI if she has any issues "like an imperfect creator you could view as a twisted father figure or anything." When EDI asks why on Earth Shepard's asking those sorts of questions, Shepard'll comment that s/he's learned it's just easier to ask them sooner or later. The role is also reversed many times in Mass Effect 3, by which time, most of Shepard's friends have gotten their issues under control and are functioning much better. Shepard, on the other hand, begins to crumble under the stress and pressure of being the face of the war effort and having hundreds of billions of lives resting on his/her shoulders, especially as the war becomes more desperate.

The problem being that since Jacobs is evil, he tends to do more harm than good no matter how well-meaning his intentions. His more malicious acts include turning TaDarius Thomas against his Tag Team partner ACH, alienating Adam Page from Page's friends, corrupting a lovesick Delirious into his personal minion, turning Delirious's own tag team partner MsChif against him when Delirious overcame Jacobs and then going so far as to turn MsChif against husband Michael Elgin for the hell of it. Some of this lead to a well-deserved dressing down from Austin Aries, whom he failed to get into the head of and lost his girlfriend Lacey to. Jacobs didn't learn his lesson though, as he later preyed on Eddie Kingston and turned him against his "home promotion" Chikara as part of an Evil Plan to destroy the company.

This is given a Decon-Recon Switch during his tournament fight against Todoroki, in which he is (barely, technically) winning because Todoroki is only using his ice Quirk that he inherited from his mother, and not the fire Quirk that he inherited from his father, who he hates. Izuku convinces him to accept his Quirk and claim it as his own, and while Izuku loses the fight, it's clear he won the moral victory. That said, even though Todoroki promptly floors him now that he is no longer holding back, it's also shown that one speech does not instantly allow him to overcome the root of his problems (his troubled relationship with his abusive father). However, All Might praises Izuku for putting his classmate's emotional well-being over his own glory, and Todoroki is able to start truly moving past his issues thanks to him. Inspired by him, Todoroki is this to Iida in the 'Stain the Hero Killer' arc. He tells Iida to be the hero his brother wants him to be, rather than just someone looking for vengeance.

And Tanimoto has also reflected on it. An interesting variation happens during his epic fight with Sho Kano from YOMI. Here they both act as Warrior Therapists to each other — Kano as an (anti-)villainous one and Kenichi as a good one. While Kano constantly points out to Kenichi how miserable Kenichi's fighting skills are compared to Kano's and concludes that the Ryozanpaku masters were "too gentle" to Kenichi, Kenichi counters by pointing out that it's exactly because of their kindness and love that he managed to persist in constantly improving his skills, while those in YOMI deeply in their souls actually hate martial arts. Which has a lot of Fridge Stockholm when you consider how constantly and gleefully the Ryozanpaku masters torture their shared apprentice.

Warrior Therapist / int_a037ae41	comment	Fate/Zero: Rider. Within one drinking contest/conversation on the right way to be king, he manages what took Shirou and Archer two weeks. Irisviel hits the reset button by telling her that even if she sucked as a king, at least she is essentially the embodiment of (self-sacrificing) ideals. Since this is a prequel, it's not like she's going to magically get better now right? Shirou and Archer do this to each other during their match in the Unlimited Blade Works. However, the sheer mechanics of fighting your cynical future self over ideals is complicated. Would that be considered extreme introspection?

Since she's someone Mitsunari can't intimidate, he is forced to talk to her about his problems. She eventually finds that beneath the Ax-Crazy, Revenge hungry man with No Social Skills, Mitsunari values his allies (betrayal is a Berserk Button) but the lack of people skills makes it very hard to see. In the fourth game, Kenshin tries to play this to Matabe in the latter's drama route. Unfortunately, Matabe is too much of a broken wretch of a man for this to work, especially when it comes to his second most-hated enemy. As such, Kenshin's last words are him lamenting his failure while Matabe laughs wildly to himself.

Warrior Therapist / int_a81325d3	comment	Several Final Fantasy villains are good at this. Kefka gives a nihilistic speech before you face him, talking to Seymour about his "spiral of death" plan is a core feature of the battles with him, and Sephiroth gave Cloud a mental breakdown. He only ever talks while fighting in newer titles. And Golbez from Dissidia Final Fantasy acts as the therapist for the heroes. Meaning he is simultaneously backstabbing EVERY other villain in the franchise and the god of discord. All to make sure his younger brother Cecil survives. Best. Brother. Ever. Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII sees Lightning act as this for Noel Kreiss, who has fallen into an obsessive depression over the last five centuries. He's submitted himself to a prophecy that seems to guarantee his happy ending if he kills Lightning, despite every fiber of his being saying that's wrong. After a warm-up duel, Lightning plays up on her status as Bhunivelze's savior, an "inhuman agent of the divine", in a bid to provoke Noel's old iron-hard resolve; it works, and Noel finds the strength to smash the Oracle Drive and abandon that emotional dead end.

Despite being a Cloudcuckoolander Blood Knight, she's the only cast member without major psychological issues and was critical in preventing the other pilots from making the same mistakes as before. It was Mari who urged Asuka and Shinji to untangle their complicated feelings towards each other while serving as the blue oni to Asuka's red. She constantly helped the characters develop and progress, and in a way, she existed partially to help them gain a grip on themselves. In the final film, Shinji ends up with her because she was the fresh start he needed. While both Rei and Asuka symbolized Shinji's need to run back to comfort or throw himself into work (respectively), Mari symbolized his growth from a traumatized young boy to a stable adult.

White didn't actually know what kind of disorder he had though, and Nye, operating well outside his field of expertise, misdiagnosed him. Black then took revenge on Nye for "ripping him off" since his problems did not go away but went a little too far, leading to a Cycle of Revenge.

Warrior Therapist / int_e293455a	comment	In the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Conversations With Dead People", Buffy tangles with a rather literal version of the trope - an Affably Evil vampire who had been a Psychology Major prior to being sired. He was at least as, if not more, interested in analysing Buffy as in fighting her. At one point they have a moment of truce: he sitting, she lying down, in the traditional shrink-session positions. He actually provides some rather helpful advice before getting staked. Angelus - Angel minus his soul - has an uncanny knack for getting inside someone's head and using that to torment them. He considers Drusilla, who he drove completely and utterly insane before turning her into a vampire, one of his masterpieces. Also in Buffy, the vampire Spike shows an extraordinary talent for analyzing the motivations people don't want to admit to. "Lovers Walk" - Buffy: I can't lie to myself... or Spike, for some reason. In "A Fool for Love," he implies that this talent was at least partly responsible for his having defeated two Slayers in the past. He points out two Fatal Flaws of Vampire Slayers: a) they instinctively reach for their weapon, whereas a vampire doesn't have to, and b) every Slayer has a death wish. Spike knows exactly how to demoralise an enemy. He even uses this to his advantage when he has the chip that keeps him from hurting humans - he still knows the exact hot buttons that will make the Scoobies implode over the course of a day. Longer-term planning is still a bit beyond him, though.

Warrior Therapist / int_e89f120b	comment	The Mobile Suit Gundam saga, with its love for staging prolonged dialogues during Humongous Mecha duels, has many, many examples, starting with the omnipresent Char Aznable. In Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, the title character and his rival spend the last few minutes of their final battle (and their lives), discussing Char's oedipal issues. The later spin-offs, such as Gundam SEED and Gundam 00 also do this a lot, one example being Gundam 00 during the final battle between Setsuna and Graham Aker. They spend a minute and a half arguing whether the Gundams contradicts their own existence and if Graham really is the distortion of the world, all while chopping each other's Humongous Mecha to pieces and eventually blow up (though they both survive and are repaired for season 2 (Graham even gets his upgraded, while Setsuna just gets Exia's head reattached (presumably through use of duct-tape)). As mentioned, SEED does this as well, commonly with Kira and Athrun during any of their several duels. The show's final boss, Rau Le Creuset pulls this off gloriously in the villainous fashion with two heroes (Mu and Kira) in sequence. Mu simply shrugs off Rau's words and accepts Rau as beyond redemption and a monster that must be destroyed. Kira's idealism results in him constantly trying to do a heroic version to Rau at the same time. It doesn't work, and only after Rau kills Flay does Kira go for the kill like Mu did. Until then, Kira v. Rau is a fairly straight recreation of Amuro and Char's aforementioned final duel in CCA, just substituting a different mental issue, making this double as a Shout-Out.

His second fights with both Aoshi and Soujiro, where he more or less mind-hacked (possibly) more powerful fighters with Heroic Willpower and virtue and wound up winning, are particularly prominent examples, but he does it a lot. His string of successes goes back to Sano, his second feature fight, whom he drew out, analyzed, beat up, and talked into giving up his self-destructive hatred and becoming friends, although the latter wasn't on his agenda and startled Kenshin. He does this to Enishi while sitting still on a beach. There is some fighting, but mostly he just talks the guy into ripping out his own inner ear in response to emotional anguish. Yeah. His fight with Han'nya and his first fight with Aoshi, too, just to a lesser extent. He didn't get into Soujiro's head the first time at all, which was what made the guy so creepy, and he never managed to reach Shishio, which sets him apart as a villain. Oh, and there's Saitou, whom he misanalyzes during their first in-series fight and never really gets anywhere with. Although Saitou doesn't correct Kenshin when he lumps him in with 'his friends' during the final beach fight with Enishi. Hiko Seijuro. He did it both to Kenshin and to Fuji. Not in the nicest way. Saitou Hajime is of the former type, using his uncanny powers of deduction and insight to pick apart his opponents' careful strategy and leave them easy prey for his own lethal attacks. Sagara Sanosuke pulls it on a couple of guys, clearly in imitation of Kenshin but in his own style. Particularly his own Evil Mentor, whose Freudian Excuse is really quite impressive. Watsuki does a pretty good job drawing backstories from actual historical circumstances. Another one is Miyoujin Yahiko who does it his enemy, albeit before the fight ends. He improves a lot during one-shot chapter.

Warrior Therapist / int_fb2fe753	comment	Sami Callihan is an obsessive, egotistical, Darwinist madman with a poor sense of reason. Dave Finlay decided to help him overcome his faults, the only way he knew how when Callihan arrived in EVOLVE. Callihan remained insane but did end up on a less self-destructive path thanks to Finlay's efforts.

Warrior Therapist / int_ff9ab17f	comment	A Star Trek: The Next Generation fanfiction once gave a Klingon Counselor to a starbase captain. (This was a bit of a Take That! to the character in question, who had once been highly against being commanded by Data for the reason that computers don't make good captains, just like Klingons wouldn't make good counselors.)
