Go Mad from the Revelation: Difference between revisions

* Happens to {{spoiler|Sayaka Miki and Mami Tomoe from the third alternate timeline}} in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]''. {{spoiler|Sayaka}} starts losing it as she realizes that {{spoiler|[[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished]], and ends up becoming the witch known as Oktavia Von Seckendorff since she brought hope to others only to lose herself to despair}}; {{spoiler|the third Mami}} goes insane with grief after {{spoiler|the Sayaka of her continuity also becomes Oktavia and is killed by Homura, since she cannot handle the [[Awful Truth]] that being a Puella Magi means; she kills Kyouko and gets ready to kill Homura, so Madoka has to [[Mercy Kill]] her.}}

** And in the backstory of {{spoiler|Kyoko Sakura}}, this happened to {{spoiler|her father, when he found out that Kyoko used her [[Selfless Wish]] to brainwash people into following him. His mind splintered so badly that he went the [[Pater Familicide]] route, with Kyoko as the [[Sole Survivor]] of the Sakura clan.}}

* ''[[School Days]]'s'' Kotonoha and Sekai. Both are dumped by a [[Jerkass]] Makoto Ito and have realized that he's also screwed around with their best friends. [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness|Kotonoha's eyes turn dark]] around the later half of the anime.

* In ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'' after [[Trauma Conga Line|Nina recovers all of her memories]] and realizes that the memories her evil twin brother [[Complete Monster|Johan]] thinks are his are really hers ([[It Makes Sense in Context|it's complicated]]), she nearly commits suicide. Thankfully [[The Messiah|Dr. Tenma]] intervenes just in time to avert a potentially HUGE [[Tear Jerker]].

* In the setting of the [[Mass Effect]] fanfic ''[[Inglorious Boshtets]]'', this is what happened to many people who viewed the porno magazine ''Fornax'''s "Forbidden Issue," which featured Tali's idiot crewman Prazza performing a sanity-blastingly obscene sex act that thankfully [[You Do NOT Want to Know|remained]] [[Noodle Incident|undescribed]].

* Twilight Sparkle of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'' gets in on the act in [http://www.fimfiction.net/story/1451/The-Monster-Mash The Monster Mash]. {{spoiler|They really need to erect a warning sign on that fourth wall.}}

* Readers of the eponymous [[The Elder Scrolls|Elder Scrolls]] whose knowledge doesn't go much further than what the Scrolls really are, usually have their minds irreparably damaged from simply looking at one. Even those who've had training to actually read and understand a Scroll have odd personalities.

** A reader without comprehension is dazed or stunned by the twisting patterns. One who can comprehend but isn't mentally prepared is struck blind. Even those with training slowly lose their vision. Eventually all readers receive nothing from the scroll but a foretelling that if they read again, whatever they may learn, they will also go utterly blind. The monk either then resigns or prepares his mind to receive the mind-blasting knowledge of his final reading.
