Always Save the Girl: Difference between revisions

** This is deconstructed, like so many other tropes in the series' manga spinoff. {{spoiler|At the end of the manga, Homura, Mami, and Kyoko are all alive, and neither Madoka or Sayaka had to sign Kyubey's contract. Then a witch kills Madoka and Homura decides to press the [[Reset Button]] again, despite the fact that she's pretty much achieved the [[Golden Ending]]. In the main series, this is eventually [[Reconstructed]] when Homura's perseverance finally pays off and Madoka uses her wish to rewrite reality.}}

* In ''[[Inuyasha]]'', Sango's inability to live without Miroku shows how damaged she really is after losing everything she loved, and she'll do anything, ''[[What the Hell, Hero?|anything]]'', to save him. {{spoiler|When she fails, she finally gives up and asks to die with him.}}

* Deconstructed in the [[Rescue Arc|Conviction Arc]] of ''[[Berserk]]''. Guts saves Casca from being {{spoiler|[[Burn the Witch|burned at the stake as a witch]] by [[Light Is Not Good|Bishop Mozgus]] [[Torture Technician|and his henchmen]], who are being backed by all of the citizens [[Gullible Lemmings|who blindly follow whatever he says just to save themselves from damnation]]. They want to burn her because they think she is responsible for the influx of monsters and evil spirits around St. Albion and, well, technically they're correct, since the Brand of the Sacrifice on Casca's breast attracts evil spirits that are nearby.}} But Guts, being her [[Love Interest]] and thus [[I Will Protect Her|vowing to protect her]], doesn't give two shits about what will happen so long he and Casca survive at the end of it all. He pretty much tells Mozgus and the refugees to go fuck themselves.

* [[This Ugly Yet Beautiful World]]: Hikari is {{spoiler|the anthropomorphic personification of extinction}}. Takeru is {{spoiler|a mutation born to stop her}}. And he still does everything in his power to protect her, consequences be damned. Granted he doesn't know either of those facts for most of the series, but even after he learns the truth it doesn't change anything.

* ''[[Wolf Guy Wolfen Crest]]'' has Inugami the hero who's biggest [[Berserk Button]] is if someone messes with Aoshika. Haguro did in a huge way and now he's gonna pay.
