But then one starts to wonder when, during an instance where he isn't even being chased, he ends up running an obvious red light and crashes into another car. Of course, part of it might be explained by how most of the instances where he's driving have been dangerous car chase scenes (where it's only natural that he would be crashing through things and driving crazy). Sagara Sōsuke from Full Metal Panic! seems to be this.The fun part is that when he was a kid, he dreamed of being a Royal Air Force pilot like his father (he became a real estate mogul instead). He's crashed at least 4 planes, one ship, a submarine and a car during the course of his life. Joseph, in particular, is the king of this to the point of it being lampshaded in-universe.Although it's more of a side effect of the family being a Weirdness Magnet than it is a problem they specifically have with vehicles. Oh, and an helicopter, but that was highly intentional. Cars, trains, boats and submarines have a similar tendency to crash somehow when a Joestar is near. It's generally of the "not actually their fault" variant, but there's an unspoken rule that if someone of the Joestar bloodline gets into a plane, it will crash.His protégé Keitaro picks up the trait by the final chapters. Seta in Love Hina usually enters a chapter by crashing his van, but emerging without major injury.In the epilogue, he managed to set his perfectly-undamaged Valkyrie on fire, after the battle was over, and scuttled it as it was breaking apart. Though not nearly as much as Alto in Macross Frontier, who trashes a new plane every other episode or so.It's so bad, that even his coma delirium mocks him for it repeatedly (and even has him crashing a bicycle!) in the episode "Phantasm". Hikaru Ichijo/Rick Hunter of Super Dimension Fortress Macross/ Robotech gets his Valkyrie trashed a lot.Sister trope of the Disposable Pilot, who generally doesn't even survive his first crash. The landing is where the real skill shows itself. This trope can be convenient for characters hiring or having a pilot - no one else wanted Captain Crash, so they were available.Ĭan be somewhat justifiable for rookies crashing planes, because taking off and flying are much easier than landing. Is often depicted as Innocently Insensitive or a Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant, if not an out-and-out Cloudcuckoolander. ![]() Their insurance rates are probably through the roof. Still, with all the crashes they've been in, it's a wonder anyone trusts them to drive or that their license hasn't been revoked. Sometimes the crashes are not their fault they just seem to attract bad luck. To their credit, having a reputation for crashing repeatedly means their crashes are, at the very least, survivable, so they do have that going for them. ![]() Even if they're in the desert with nothing to crash into, they'll somehow find a way. They're supposedly an accomplished captain/pilot/driver, but whenever they get behind the controls of any vehicle, they crash it. They're the Patrician of Demolition, the Czar of "Fubar", and the Master of Disaster. Everyone's encountered or at least heard of this character.
