Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The past: Exa, a little boy with no desire to fight, comes home to find his entire town destroyed by the armies of the demon queen. As he sobs over the corpse of his mother, the queen herself finds him and explains her philosophy: so long as humans kill demons, demons will kill humans, and neither will stop until one is wiped out. Having finished, she tries to kill him, but through luck (and the intervention of a retired hero), she's forced to retreat. In the flame and smoke, neither clearly saw the other's face.The present: Hunting for the demon queen, Exa finds a mysterious demoness being attacked by a dragon. He rescues her from it, but refuses to kill the dragon—or indeed, any of the other monsters or demons that attack them. As he tells her, every life has value, and for a human to kill a demon would be just as bad as for a demon to kill a human. Intrigued, the the demoness introduces herself as Sheila, and decides to tag along with him for a while—she even agrees to nonviolence, though she doesn't quite buy the concept.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The future: Exa has sworn never to kill, but as a hero, it's his duty to find and slay the demon queen. Sheila tells herself over and over that she'll kill Exa eventually, but she can never quite muster up the will to do so. Each comes to doubt the truth of their philosophy, but neither can accept what the other believes. Even as the two grow closer and closer, Sheila is certain this can't end with anything other than blood.For you see, Sheila is the demon queen.Superior and its sequel, Superior Cross, are High Fantasy manga by Ichtys. | |

Angelica's paternal grandparents are another example, with her grandfather being a bear demon who could take the form of a Bishōnen with animal ears. Sadly, they ended up being Star-Crossed Lovers when he abandoned her to spare their unborn child from being subjected to Half-Breed Discrimination due to a deal he made with the townspeople (though the end of his introductory chapter makes it clear that they will be Together in Death when he dies). | |

More than Mind Control | |
| Superior (Manga) / int_28e90e30 | comment |
More than Mind Control: One demoness claims to have the ability to remove anyone's strongest trait. It turns out she's actually just emphasizing existing traits that contradict the ones she wants to get rid of. (Lakshri is secretly terrified of women, Exa feels stifled by his code of honor, Angelica wants to kill and destroy, and Sheila respects Exa and would enjoy following his orders.) Incidentally, the demoness did not use any magic on Sheila. Sheila just assumed she had, and therefore went along with an impulse to follow Exa's orders. | |

Beauty Equals Goodness | |
| Superior (Manga) / int_2a015a74 | comment |
Beauty Equals Goodness: Played with. Though all the main cast are attractive, 'beauty' is talked about mostly as an internal quality, related to goodness and valuing life. At one point, Sheila breaks down in tears and asks Copy (who physically looks almost identical to her) and Shadow why they are so ugly after their callous slaughter of a village- while also remembering how she used to be the same way. The original Demon Lord, on the other hand, seems to believe that beauty is in fact related to purity... though his idea of 'pure' is far, far removed from valuing life. | |

Kick the Son of a Bitch: Valentin killing Herman and a random citizen of Water Town seems to be a thorough Kick the Dog moment, even though Herman had been shown to do some very horrible things in the past. But when it's revealed what both his victims did in the past, it wouldn't be surprising to think Valentin was too lenient on them. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| Superior (Manga) / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Very early on in the story, there's a literal (and heartbreaking) example: a dragon Sheila used to be close to is blocking a road, waiting for her eggs to hatch. A group of soliders arrive, intending to kill her. They don't get to... but what they did was much crueller; knowing that she wouldn't move until her eggs hatched, they smashed the eggs. Unlike most examples of this trope, it doesn't backfire on them beyond Shiela and Lakshri beating them up to stop them killing her, because the dragon was so heartbroken by her eggs being broken that she wanted to die with them rather than retaliating against the humans. | |

Gender Flipped with Umberto: his true form is that of a white bear, but he has the power to take on the shape of a handsome man except for his ears and tail, which explains how he was able to conceive a child with a human woman. | |

Shapeshifting Squick: A shapeshifting villain, convinced of his default form's beauty, spends much of one chapter walking around naked. When the other characters tell him this is indecent, he shapeshifts his genitals into the shape of Exa's head. (This prompts a fourth-wall break, stating that Superior is rapidly becoming a "low-class manga.") | |

Bullying a Dragon | |
| Superior (Manga) / int_7eb73553 | comment |
Bullying a Dragon: Anyone that tries to attack Shiela is in for a bad time. Very early on in the story, there's a literal (and heartbreaking) example: a dragon Sheila used to be close to is blocking a road, waiting for her eggs to hatch. A group of soliders arrive, intending to kill her. They don't get to... but what they did was much crueller; knowing that she wouldn't move until her eggs hatched, they smashed the eggs. Unlike most examples of this trope, it doesn't backfire on them beyond Shiela and Lakshri beating them up to stop them killing her, because the dragon was so heartbroken by her eggs being broken that she wanted to die with them rather than retaliating against the humans. | |

Interspecies Romance | |
| Superior (Manga) / int_8485d41a | comment |
Interspecies Romance: Exa and Sheila fall in love early on, though both of them deny it until near the end of Superior Cross. This is something of a problem, considering that Sheila is the demon lord that Exa has sworn to kill. Angelica's paternal grandparents are another example, with her grandfather being a bear demon who could take the form of a Bishōnen with animal ears. Sadly, they ended up being Star-Crossed Lovers when he abandoned her to spare their unborn child from being subjected to Half-Breed Discrimination due to a deal he made with the townspeople (though the end of his introductory chapter makes it clear that they will be Together in Death when he dies). | |

Obfuscating Stupidity: Shiela pretends to be a weak monster in order to stay close to Exa, and often plays up simply being a bubbly, infatuated Cute Monster Girl, but she's one of the most dangerous beings in the entire series. | |

Red Eyes, Take Warning | |
| Superior (Manga) / int_a939a527 | comment |
Red Eyes, Take Warning: They're a telltale sign of a half demon hybrid... except those hybrids usually have no intention of hurting anyone. Sheila is also depicted with red eyes in color pages, but they seem to be a different shade from that of hybrids as it's usually her ears that get her identified as a demon instead. | |

Fish out of Water: Shiela early on, since being the Demon Queen means knowledge of human customs is largely superfluous. For example, the only thing she cares to learn about wallets is that you can’t eat them. | |

First Girl Wins: A particularly twisted example of this this trope. Exa and Sheila met back when they were both relatively young.

In Love with the Mark | |

In Love with the Mark: Sheila begins travelling with Exa under the pretence of waiting for the right opportunity to kill him, and often notes that she will have to kill him someday before he can find out she's the Demon Queen, but can never quite bring herself to do it. Exa is also an unwitting example of this, as he falls in love with Sheila without knowing that she is the Demon Queen- the one he is on a quest to defeat, and the one being he is willing to kill. | |

Evil Knockoff | |
| Superior (Manga) / int_ca3ef034 | comment |
Evil Knockoff: Zigzagged. Early on in the story, Sheila creates a clone named Copy to cover for her while she travels with Exa. Sheila ends up undergoing a gradual Heel–Face Turn and Copy turns out to be even more evil than Sheila used to be. Then Copy makes their own clone named Shadow, who also undergoes a Heel–Face Turn. Then it turns out that Sheila herself was a clone of the original Demon Lord, who is more Ax-Crazy than the other three put together, making the full pattern evil -> good -> evil -> good. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality: To most humans, it's not just okay for Exa to kill monsters, it's his duty, and his refusal to kill is immoral. Sheila argues that Might Makes Right, and seeks to prove that demons are mightier than humans. She doesn't think there's anything particularly immoral about humans winning the extermination war, but she'd rather it only happen through their proving their might. | |

Together in Death: Defied. Umberto abandoned his wife when she was pregnant due to a deal he made with the townspeople to protect their unborn child from Half-Breed Discrimination. Decades later, he meets his granddaughter, Angelica, and learns that his wife had died several years ago. At the end of the chapter, he's talking to a painting of his wife and mentions that he'll be with her soon, but finds that he actually wants to keep on living (with her spirit then showing up and telling him that she's fine waiting for him). He's still alive four years later at his granddaughter's wedding. | |
