Fan rumor is rampant that the guy is Emperor Gaiseric, the guy who unified Midland, who may have gone through a similar ordeal when Void was incarnated as a Godhand, explaining his stone-cold hate for the Godhand in general. The Skull Knight doesn't do a lot of lady-wooing, preferring to act as a Mysterious Protector to Guts and Casca, but he's perhaps the closest thing so far to a Knight in Shining Armor in the Berserk universe, particularly when he saves Guts and Casca from being finished off by Griffith and the Godhand at the end of the Eclipse.If the Knight in Shining Armor wanders the land seeking evil to slay, then he's also a Knight Errant.Īnimated Armor will appear as this, all the way to The Reveal.
A knight that gets magical powers as a reward for this goodness is almost certainly The Paladin to boot. A knight who is shiny for one person in particular is The Champion. See Lord Error-Prone for a common subversion/parody and Knight in Sour Armor for what happens when the world fails to live up to their standards, but keep on being good anyway. Prince Charmless, on the other hand would not be a knight by choice. When Prince Charming is a Knight in Shining Armor he's the Warrior Prince.

True, the average knight was more interested in pig farming than warfare, but the chivalric code defined them as a class. It's best to describe it as an ideal to which most knights aspired, at least publicly. Most knights will be depicted wearing plate, despite its appearing relatively late in the era of knights.Īs knights were also humans like any other, they mostly weren't like this, although it would be extremely cynical and most certainly false to say that none of them were like this. The "shining" originally referred to the way his armor and weapons were kept in good condition, as opposed to the rust that accumulated for less competent knights. In fact, until recently this trope was almost never used except for deconstructions/subversions, keeping it in Dead Unicorn territory (even the Ur Example of the straight usage of trope, King Arthur, messed around with it a lot) until the one-two punch of Disney and Dungeons and Dragons saw this trope's stock rise like crazy. The term may be used in more cynical works to indicate a Wide-Eyed Idealist. Often invoked to describe a man who acts - well, chivalrously toward women. Another occupational hazard is Chronic Hero Syndrome, Knights Errant being charged to Walk the Earth righting wrongs until a worthy quest shows up. The Knight in Shining Armor was a frequent victim of The Dulcinea Effect: medieval Chivalric Romances, indeed, portrayed knights who fell in love with a princesse lointaine merely on hearing her described, without even seeing her - though his love and heroism usually won her heart. Prone to rescuing the Damsel in Distress, or delivering her from false accusations, often whilst bearing The Lady's Favour. Lately has a very high incidence of having a Bodyguard Crush and Rescue Romance.Ī cultural trope in Europe since medieval times, most good knights practice something called chivalry, Honor, and Self-Control and occasionally chastity. The medieval knight who fights baddies, woos ladies without deliberately seducing them, behaves honorably, and saves the day with his sword but also, any hero who behaves similarly.
