Les Légendaires/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

** {{spoiler|subverted with Abyss; after explaining the reason behind his actions, Tenebris seems like she's feeling sorry for him... Then he is revealed to be [[Not Quite Dead]] and rises again to fight the Legendairies.}}

* [[Complete Monster]]: several of the villains can be considered as such:

** Darkhell is referred as this, and indeed pretty much could fit the role: he is an [[Evil Sorcerer]] and a [[Mad Scientist]] with [[Ambition Is Evil|insane world-conquest ambition]], who considers people as his pawns, will kill anyone who is unwilling to join him (his conception of "alliance" being "enslaving") and [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|gladly killing his pawns once they are no more use to him, even when they are no danger to him]]. In Book 4, he display [[Omnicidal Maniac]] tendencies, attempting to destroy ''two'' worlds, one being for revenge. His [[Character Development]], however, reveal he [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones|does care for his daughter Tenebris]] {{spoiler|and even allow him to commit a [[Heroic Sacrifice]].}}

** Skroa has some shades of it too; while he lacked the time his rival Darkhell had to give himself a reputation, he was still shown to be willing to kill Danael after using him and the other Legendaries as pawns (granted, unlike Darkhell, he had reason to still see him as a treath). He treats his {{spoiler|"daughter" Shun-Day's father-like love}} with disdain, to the point of hitting her in the face. He was even shown [[Would Hurt a Child|killing a Jaguarian kid]] at some point.

** While he is subject to [[Even Evil Has Loved Ones]], Abyss' [[Yandere|conception of love]] [[Incest Subtext|is so twisted]] it prevents him from averting this trope: sure, {{spoiler|he was motivated by his love for Tenebris, but that doesn't really justify manipulating almost everyone, poisonning her mother, trying to kill her friends and ''brainwashing'' her though [[Puppeteer Parasite]]...}}

* [[Chickification]] : arguadably with Shimy; in the first books, she was portrayed as more of an [[Kuudere]], a [[Tomboy]] and a [[Deadpan Snarker]] who rarely express any feelings other than anger. After her [[Heroic BSOD]] in the Anathos Cycle however, she wears more girly clothes (which tends to make her the main [[Ms. Fanservice|fanservice source in the serie]]) and display more emotion than before, evolving toward [[Tsundere]]. This even more visible by the fact the original chick of the group, Jadina, [[Took a Level In Badass]] and became the leader, making her appear now almost mentally stronger than Shimy. Granted, this is justified because of all Shimy went through (including a [[Demonic Possession|possession attempt from]] a [[God of Evil]], getting her eyes burnt and learning her boyfriend was cheating on her), but this is still sad. She however averts [[Badass Decay]] by remaining a ''very'' competent [[Action Girl]].

{{quote| "My Name is Dark-Gryf and I'm veeeeeeeeery Evil ! Nyarf Nyarf !"}}

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Gryf's hallucination of Elysio having an especially scary [[Slasher Smile]] (coupled with [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]) before leaving him fall from a cliff. {{spoiler|bonus point due to it being some kind of nightmare.}}

** The victims of Anathos' plague in Book 11.

** Similarly, Dark-Jadina's hinted [[Mind Rape]] of Tenebris. All we get to see from it is Dark-Jadina licking her lips while wondering how though Tenebris' spirit is. Later, when Jadina arrives, she is shown a broken and heavily injured Tenebris. God knows what they did to her.

** {{spoiler|Kasino}}'s death in Book 13: {{spoiler|when first shown, it's from the Legendaries' point of view, who see Jadina impaling him on her bare hand and sucking his blood on her thumb. It's later revealed it was actually Tenebris doing it and their vision of Jadina was because of Abyss' illusion.}}

** {{spoiler|Jadina}}'s deadbody being found in the final panel of Book 13.

** A spoiler from the next book shows us {{spoiler|new villain Sheyba walking with Skroa and her Right-hand Razorcat amongst human deadbodies, with Razorcat holding a human hand in his mouth, strongly implying he is eating humans.}}

* [[Tear Jerker]]:

** Jadina {{spoiler|being forced to slay Danael at the end of the Anathos Cycle.}}

* [[Took a Level In Jerkass]]: Jadina; in the first book, she was a nice and naive person, almost in a [[Good Is Dumb]] way, and while she could have [[Beware the Nice Ones|angry moments]], remained the nicest person on the team. After the Anathos Cycle, while she sure [[Took a Level In Badass|became a much more badass character]], she now tends to have overly jerkass moments, including beating up her own teammates to "test" them before the fight with the Hellions, mocking Shimy for her blindness and expressing no compassion for Razzia about Tenebris being captured (sure she let herself get caught on purpose, but still). At the end of book 14, she is revealed to have refused taking any time to take care of the Gamera Tree because she wanted to focus on Anathos, and brutally reject her mother's offer of reconciliation (something even Shimy accepted with her own mother in Book 4).

* [[The Woobie]]: Elysio and Razzia, because of their respective backstory;

** Saryn pretty much suits the place as well;
