Conflicting Loyalty: Difference between revisions

Line 104:

* This is ultimately Giygas's undoing in ''[[MOTHER 1 (Video Game)|Earthbound Zero]]''. He's sort of a subverted ''[[Superman]]'', sent to our world as an infant in the hopes that he would grow to conquer it, but he still feels love for the human couple who raised him. {{spoiler|Playing a music box tune that was his childhood lullaby}} is enough to get him to back down.

* In ''[[Solatorobo]]'', {{spoiler|Elh must choose between her duty to seal Lares (which requires the sacrifice of Red) and her loyalty to her friend. She ultimately can't do it and stops the Rite mid-way, unable to bring herself to finish.}}

* In ''[[~~Asuras~~ Wrath]]'', Yasha had to choose between his family and his duty to protect humanity from the Gohma, since Deus' plan required Asura (Yasha's brother-in-law) being scapegoated as a traitor and Mithra (his niece) enslaved as the Brahmastra's Mantra-channeler. After witnessing many people suffering after the Gohma's recent attack, Yasha sided with Deus. [[It Got Worse]] for Yasha since his sister Durga (Asura's wife and Mithra's mother) was also killed {{spoiler|though it's unclear whether Deus ordered it or Sergei did it on his own just to anger Asura}}. 12,000 years later, Yasha has to make the choice again when Asura returns, hell-bent on saving Mithra. He initially remains loyal to Deus since he still believes stopping the Gohma is more important than anything. Ultimately, Yasha turns against Deus after battling {{spoiler|Wrath Asura}} helps Yasha realize that if there's even the slightest chance to stop the Gohma without resorting to Deus' horrific plan, then he has to take it.
