Defusing the Tykebomb: Difference between revisions

Line 33:

* A strange case of this appears in ''[[Pokémon: The First Movie|Pokémon the First Movie]]''. Mewtwo rejects the objectification of his creators on his own twice (even stating in the novelization that they treat him like an object), and is already waging war on humanity when our heroes come along. Ash and his friends, fairly quickly, realize that {{spoiler|Mewtwo's clone soldiers are [[Tyke Bomb|tykebombs]] and Ash sacrifices himself to save them and the regular Pokemon from Mewtwo and Mew's feud. This selfless act makes Mewtwo realize that not all [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|Humans Are Bastards]] and defuses him partly.}} This process is essentially completed in the direct-to-video sequel, ''[[Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns]]''.

* Rowan does this to Mitsumi prior to the beginning of ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure]]''.

* In ''[[~~ROD~~ the TV]]'', tykebomb Junior finds Michelle utterly disarming. Anita puts a few chinks in his armour as well.

* In ''[[R.O.D the TV]]'', tykebomb Junior finds Michelle utterly disarming. Anita puts a few chinks in his armour as well.

* Maka towards Crona in ''[[Soul Eater]]''. {{spoiler|It sticks in the anime. In the manga... Not so much.}}

** Black Star had another attempt {{spoiler|using about as close to Maka's force plus understanding tactic as he's going to get. It didn't work. If anything, Crona's even ''worse'' this time, claiming Medusa is the only one they can 'rely' on.}}

Line 45:

* [[Dragon Ball|Goku]] of all people experienced this, but instead it was him falling on his head resulting in [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]].

* Done in [[DNA²]], towards {{spoiler|Lulala Kawasaki.}}

* Mai does this unintentionally to Mikoto in ''[[~~Mai~~-HiME]]'', without even knowing what Mikoto's role in the unfolding events really is. Likewise, Miyu wins Alyssa from the Searrs Foundation by being the only person... well, robot... who ever actually cared about her. {{spoiler|It doesn't quite stick, though, with Alyssa being killed shortly afterwards... until the end. anyway.}}

* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' has Danny telling his [[Opposite ~~Sex~~ Clone]] that Vlad is merely using her as a tool instead of the daughter she thinks he is to her. She obviously doesn't believe this and spends most of the episode in deep denial, attacking him and the like to prove otherwise. Of course, since Vlad is the series' [[Big Bad]], Danny is right. Danielle manages to have a change of heart as a result and worked alongside him.

* [[Transformers Animated|Ratchet]] combines [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesome]] and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming]] to do this to {{spoiler|Omega Supreme}} the moment he wakes up, rejecting the Elite Guard's role for him as master of a mindless [[Person of Mass Destruction]].
