No Ordinary Butler - Extremely Skilled, Talented Butlers good at everything that also happen to be secretly Overpowered
Anime
One of my favorite anime tropes!
I love anime that feature what is normally a "background" character that is the perfect butler or concierge. They're good at seemingly everything - cleaning, cooking, mending ... you name it, so the master never has to worry. Oh and if things get dicey, it turns out the Butler is also secretly (or not secretly) Overpowered and has amazing martial arts or magical powers.
You know that butler! You might have seen them in these anime, sorted in Alphabetical Order.
