* ''[[Fire Emblem]] 8'': Some characters know well what the hell is going on in Grado ([[White Magician Girl|the Cleric Natasha]] {{spoiler|whose mentor, a well-respected high priest, was killed for discovering that the Emperor was dead and revived as an [[Artificial Human]]}} and [[Badass Bookworm|the Shaman Knoll]], {{spoiler|Lyon's [[The Lancer|second-hand]] in the project to revive said Emperor}}). What does the Empire do? They frame * both* of them as traitors; Natasha has to flee from her homeland and Knoll is imprisoned and slated for execution. Subverted because, in-game, both * survive* and join Eirika's (in Natasha's case) or Ephraim's (in Knoll's) troupes. |

* Hawke and Lash from ''[[Advance Wars]] Dual Strike'' are attacked when Hawke figures out the [[Big Bad]]'s true motive for starting a war. Of course, the allied nations save them and they all fight the [[Big Bad]] together. Hm. Maybe the [[Big Bad]] was planning on getting rid of Hawke and Lash anyways, since Lash is caught up in Hawke's problem for almost no reason. |

** More or less. A few missions prior, Kindle outright states that they don't think particularly highly of Hawke OR Lash, and basically implies that they never really had much of a need for either of them.
