WickIebee 06/06/18 11:38:18 PM #6:	Yeah, I think I'm going 100% off the trope page to name my trio. Sagara Sanosuke (Rurouni Kenshin) Originally uses a sword, but when Kenshin beats him he goes full monk while waiting for his sword to appear, constantly fighting with his bare hands in a sword vs sword world. Zane Vathek (Trails in the Sky) Counts as much as Tifa Lockhart would. He does have magic (Artes) thanks to Orbments, but he's primarily a fist fighter in a world that even uses guns. Ty Lee (Avatar the Last Airbender) Nevermind, I'll use her. Couldn't think of an alternative outside of the list. --- I'll just go back to gifs.
