Locked Out of the Loop: Difference between revisions

** They also must keep it a secret that they are an alien, a time-traveler and an esper because {{spoiler|they fear if she had proof they existed, she would subconsciously create more of them.}}

** In fact, all of that is just what they ''think'' Haruhi's secret is. Or rather, it's what Kyon and [[Fanon|most of the readers]] think, thanks to [[Consummate Liar|Itsuki "Completely Trustworthy" Koizumi]]. Yuki and Mikuru's factions have their own theories. They're keeping watch on her because none of them are entirely sure what she is or what she's capable of, but they're all pretty confident that letting her find out about and/or overuse her powers would be [[The End of the World as We Know It|very dangerous]].

* ''[[Naruto]]'' had the entire adult population of the village concealing the fact that the eponymous main character had the nine-tailed demon fox that nearly destroyed the village sealed inside him, so he could live a 'normal' life. It didn't work. He just thought they hated him for no good reason instead.

** Of course, the point of them being ordered to not talk about was because the Third Hokage figured he might get treated even ''worse'' if they could (see Gaara).

* In Elemental Gelade, Coud was informed that Edel Garden, the place Ren was planning to head to, was a very dangerous place and warned never to bring her there at the end of vol 8. Coud decided to go ahead anyway without telling Ren.

* In ''[[Great Teacher Onizuka]]'', Onizuka was informed by the hospital doctor that he would really die if his head suffered any further serious blow. He ended up not telling anyone about it in order not to cause any worry, but some students found out anyway through the doctor.

* ''[[Soul Eater]]'' has a couple. The existence of the Kishin to everyone who isn't Shinigami or Asura himself. Everyone else gets a watered down version they can deal with - Spirit's early version of the meister who gave normal souls to his Weapon fits neatly as a warning tale to students to follow the rules and be brave. The Death Scythes get their initial instructions on the basis of Asura being a potentially dangerous monster in hiding. The truth, for the moment, appears to be a good deal more [[Backstory|complicated]] and [[Eldritch Abomination|deranged]]. Kid gets a personal lockout regarding his origins. Shinigami's Weapon seems to know more about Kid than the boy himself does.

* Kozue, from ''[[Mahoraba]]''. Every single person at Narutakisou knows about her disease. Except for her.

* In ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'', Kotetsu's daughter Kaede is the only member of his family that's unaware that he's a superhero. [[Word of God]] says it's an attempt on his part to protect and not worry her. While the secretiveness is a [[Fatal Flaw]] on his part, he might have something of a point as {{spoiler|the very first thing that [[Plucky Girl|Kaede]] does after discovering her father is Wild Tiger is run off to Sternbild alone to try to save him}}.

* The sisters in ''[[Magikano]]'' are quite persistent in making sure Haruo doesn't use any magic or realize they're witches.
