Break the Cutie/Anime: Difference between revisions

*** And then there's Takeru/TK in the [[Digimon Adventure|original series]]... poor damn TK, it just wasn't fair. To elaborate, at age 8 he is dealing with his parents being divorced, his [[Aloof Older Brother]] being moody and unpleasant because of this, and then he witnesses his close friend and Digimon Patamon die ''right in front of him'' without the knowledge that he'd [[Disney Death|come back okay]]. He does manage to deal with this and becomes a level-headed [[Lancer]] in the second season... [[Berserk Button|unless he encounters anyone making use of the Powers of Darkness.]]

**** Speaking of the original series, Tailmon/Gatomon may be a [[Badass]], but that's partly because she went through this a long time ago. She was accidentally dropped in the forest as an egg when the Chosen Digimon were being transported to where they'd meet their partners, hatched and spent her entire early childhood isolated and lonely but still with a desire to be with her partner that she couldn't place, when she reached her Child/Rookie stage set off looking for her only to be captured by Vamdemon/Myotismon as a recruit for his army. She resisted for a while and ended up regularly beaten for it to the point that she gave in just to stay alive and eventually forgot the whole thing and got to be noted as one of his more valuable servants. When she ''does'' finally find Hikari and remember her past, nothing gets easier, seeing as she gets kidnapped and used to lure out her own partner and Wizarmon, her only real friend during her time under Vamdemon's service, is [[Kick the Dog|killed right in front of her]](twice), and even after Vamdemon seems to be defeated, her experiences don't entirely leave her.

** Aside from this, averted with Lulu, who {{spoiler|sees all of the other Schiff die off in ones and twos, and faces her own premature death from the Thorn.}} Despite this, she remains [[Genki Girl|happy and chipper]], and {{spoiler|eventually they find her a cure.}}

*** Pulled yet again in regards to Haji. Through a flashback, it is shown that the reason he went from being somewhat stoic to made of stone was because {{spoiler|his blood turned his One True Love and reason for living into a murdering psychopath who forgot who he was and ''cut his arm off'' during her rampage.}}
