Line 2: This is when a civilian or group of civilians, whether it be through TV, the internet, word of mouth, or simply being caught in the middle of everything, notice the battle. More often than not, the [[Final Battle]]. The civilians somehow figure out who the good guys are. When the hero is [[Kick Them While They Are Down\|in a pinch at the hands of the villains.]] What will the civilians do? Call the police? Run for their lives? [[Heroic Bystander\|Actually try to save the day themselves?]] Heck no! They use their [[Civilian Power]] by cheering on the hero and somehow (either directly or simply because the cheering fuels the distressed hero's [[Heroic Spirit]]) the [[Hero]] gains the power to send the bad guy flying. {{examples~~\|Examples:~~}} == [[Anime]] == * Happens in the [[~~Digimon Adventure (Anime)\|~~Digimon Adventure]] movie. Throughout the movie, Diaboromon's [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown\|pretty much kicking the crap out of the Digidestined.]] However, the very virus it used to [[Everything Is Online\|wreak havoc on anything and everything electronic]] made it so everyone in the world with a computer (and/or a TV in ''Revenge of Diaboromon'') could see the battle. Diaboromon was responsible for the {{spoiler\|very cause for its defeat.}} [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]].
