Special:Badtitle/NS90:Talk:Complete Monster/When They Cry/Examples that should remain here.


 * Teppei Houjo - While child abuse on it's own wouldn't make him stack up against characters who do worse in this setting, the way in which he commits his abuse (emotional, physical, psychological, and sexual abuse is all here and in unnervingly inventive, specified ways) puts him in this trope's territory. Add to that he's a Loan Shark and a Bastard Boyfriend who'd have his girlfriend killed if she did anything to inconvenience him, commits fraud and embezzlement through badger games, and even has no qualms with murdering or nearly murdering people, even children. He doesn't shoot for a larger scale because he's perfectly comfortable in the scale he occupies and uses the resources at his disposal to the worst he can. To top it off, he commits his crimes out of being a malicious asshole rather than mental illness like other characters in the series, making him stand out as sufficiently heinous by the standards of the work in it's narrative. And of course he lacks any mitigating factors whatsoever, and just about everyone in-universe despises this creep.


 * Nomura - We may lack any knowledge of her true name, backstory, or characterization, but we do know her motivations are based around claiming personal power and influence within Tokyo, and that this leads her to orchestrate the events leading to the Great Hinamizawa Disaster, thus the loss of over 2,000 lives so that she can close up a company and gain control of it's resources. She's also the Bigger Bad behind Takano's worst actions due to manipulating her into helping her cause, and she's shown to be in charge of research and experimentation with bio-weapons for the government military, which leads to the events shown in "Outbreak." Being culpable for deplorable actions and showcasing no redeeming qualities whenever she appears, her character is very much in line with the criteria of this trope.
