Line 12:
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]'' it's stated that Omega Shenron could have caused this.
** Back on [[Dragonball Z]] anime. Majin Buu flew into a rage and his power ''began to tear the fabric of reality''. Then, Vegeto stopped him by slugging him. Make that what you will.
Line 24:
==
* In ''[[Dogma]]'', if the [[Word of God]] is to be proven wrong all of creation will cease to exist.
* This is the goal of the ''[[Warlock (film)|Warlock]]'', and he comes [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Damned]] close.
== [[Literature]] ==
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
* In "[[The Keys to The Kingdom]]" series by Garth Nix, if the House is destroyed by Nothing, reality will cease to exist (including all the Secondary Realms). {{spoiler|This does end up happening, but [[Unexplained Recovery|it gets better]], since Arthur is able to recreate the Realms from the Atlas.}}
* It's hinted that [[Suzumiya Haruhi]] has the power to do this (but not the mental sickness required to, at least not yet).
* In ''[[Cthulhu Mythos]]'', the demon god Azathoth is dreaming all of existence; when he wakes up, it will end.
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
Line 41 ⟶ 40:
** The {{spoiler|TARDIS explosion from series 5 is listed under Class X-5, but comes damn close. It comes within a ''single planet'' and a few minutes of being Class Z.}}
** The {{spoiler|denial of a fixed point in history at the end of series six creates a temporal explosion threatening to collapse and kill all of reality, spreading outward from the point that was broken}}. This is soon approaching a Z-2.
** It should be noted that ''Doctor Who'' has an example in ''every category'' for this trope. If there's one thing these people know, it is how to kill a lot of people/planets/etc.
** In ''The Big Bang'' it reaches Class Z-3 - all realities never existed. Creation never existed. Nothing ever existed. The above statements ignore Earth and the moon and sun.
*** Note it's easy to miss that it's a Z-3 and not a Z-2, since its status is only confirmed in a single, blink and you miss it line of dialogue from a {{spoiler|Cyberman}} in the previous episode. "All universes will be [[Catch Phrase|deleted]]."
** It should be noted that only ''Doctor Who'' ever produced examples which can even remotely qualify for '''[[Up to Eleven|above vanilla Class Z]].'''
== [[Music]] ==
Line 62 ⟶ 60:
** The Believers of the Source believe in a concept like Nirvana, where every being (mortals and gods alike) are being tested. Pass the tests, you [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence]]. Once everyone passes every test, the multiverse will end.
==
* The fourth or fifth endings of ''[[Drakengard]]'' if not for the intervention of the heroes.
* The second [[Tasty Planet]] game has the Goo devour progressively bigger things, eventually getting to planets, stars, entire galaxies, and eventually the fabric of space-time itself.
* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game)
** In ''[[Sonic Generations]]'', Time Eater wants to destroy time from at least 1991, resulting as if nothing ever existed, over what is certainly [[Disproportionate Retribution|a personal grudge against Sonic]]. The game is set during this process of complete time-erasure.
* [[Live a Live]]. {{spoiler|You are the one who can end everything by simply choosing the Armageddon option. It disintegrates everything, in every place, in every time period, all at once (even though just destroying the Prehisoric chapter should have been enough), so you ''know'' it's horrible.}}
Line 78 ⟶ 76:
==
* In ''[[Homestuck]]'', [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|messing around with the fourth wall]] is supposed to be ''even worse'' than class Z, according to Karkat:
{{quote|{{color|grey|CG: BUT SUFFICE TO SAY THERE ARE JUST SOME THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO SCREW WITH.}}
Line 86 ⟶ 84:
** [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005558 It's true] from [[Author Avatar|the author's end]] too.
** It's eventually revealed ''something'' is killing the [[Eldritch Abomination|Horrorterrors]]. According to Rose, this threatens the perpetuation of reality itself.
* The threat of such an event
== Web Originals ==▼
* In [[The Book of Stories OCT]], the worst outcome of the Book's Unwriting could be classified as Class X-5 or even Z, though it's not as much destroying as it is making everything nonexistent.▼
* In the game ''[[Ge.ne.sis|Ge Ne Sis]]'', it's revealed that {{spoiler|after too many dimensions are born, they are all destroyed at once, melting together into one. Gelyan plans to delay this by destroying all other dimensions.}}▼
▲* In [[The Book of Stories
▲* In the game ''[[Ge.ne.sis
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* In ''[[Transformers]]'', this is Unicron's ultimate goal. Given that his overall method is to [[Planet Eater|eat the entire multiverse one planet at a time]], its taking him quite a while, but, impressively, he's already devoured about 22.5% of known universes that way.
* This is the goal of {{spoiler|Owlman}} in ''[[Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths]]'', once he learns of the existence of the multiverse. It is quite awesome, but ultimately foiled by [[Batman]].
