Line 28:
** This is, not incidentally, the point where most first-time watchers start baying for the blood of the show's ultimate [[Big Bad|antagonists]]. Not because of [[The End of the World as We Know It]] - that's just what villains do, you can't ''really'' hate 'em for it - but for doing that to {{spoiler|the insanely [[Moe]] [[Woobie]] Nia}}.
** {{spoiler|Cruelly played with in the ending where after [[Storm the Castle|overcoming imposible odds and saving the entire galaxy]] from the Anti Spirals Nia [[Tear Jerker|fades away on her and Simon's wedding day]] - as a virtual lifeform created by the Anti Spirals, [[No Ontological Inertia|she can't exist without them]]}}.
* Played with in ''[[Hoshi no Samidare]]''. The Apocalypse Maiden ''wants'' to cause
* Hotaru Tomoe (Sailor Saturn) from ''[[Sailor Moon]]''. The Outer Senshi misunderstand her job thinking it is a bad thing (And confuse her with Mistress 9 who's possessing her and is [[The Antichrist]]) and try to prevent her from awakening. They fail and she explains her job is to serve as a reset button in the event that the bad guys win, allowing Moon to restore the world into its' proper form. She doesn't get to destroy the world in the anime (she defeats the [[Big Bad]] with Moon's help, then is reborn as a baby), but does in the manga; Sailor Moon restores it moments later.
* One of the main characters of ''[[Blue Seed]]'' gets this status near the end of the series...
Line 127:
* In ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'', generally anyone who has been branded a "Pulse l'Cie" will be given a Focus to become an Apocalypse Maiden (Ragnarok). Once branded they either have the choice of carrying out their Focus (destroy the world) or becoming a mindless monster if they refuse.
* In ''[[Fire Emblem]]: Sacred Stones'' Lyon the prince of Grado gets possessed by the demon king, an evil monster who was about to spread darkness over the world but was [[Sealed Evil in a Can|sealed into one of the sacred stones]] which Lyon then breaks in half. After that he holds on to the stone with the demon king in and becomes a vessel for him.
* Most of the ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' games have at least one Apocalypse Maiden, usually referred to explicitly as "The Maiden". Yuko Takao of ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne|Nocturne]]'' is the most obvious; without her, [[World of Silence|Hikawa]] would not have been able to [[
* In the ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'' series, it first appears that {{spoiler|the [[Player Character]] him-/herself, along with all the other Bhaalspawn}}, is prophesied and destined to bring about not quite
** It's a little more complicated than that. {{spoiler|The Bhaalspawn exist to bring back Bhaal (he sired them in response to a prophecy of his own death, which has since come true), and the current prophecy deals with the doom involved in any of the Spawn resurrecting or replacing their father. The protagonist is trying to avert this end... [[You Can't Fight Fate|''which is also discussed in the prophecy'']],}} making them both the possible agent of the apocalypse and the potential means to avert it.
* In ''[[Lunar]]'', {{spoiler|Luna AKA The Goddess Althena}} nearly destroys the world after being brainwashed by the Magic Emperor.
