Magnificent Bastard/Video Games: Difference between revisions

Line 169:

* Izanami, a Japanese goddess and the true final boss of [[Persona 4]], manages to cause shockwaves through a sleepy Japanese town when she creates an alternate reality that mirrors the desires of humanity and then gives three people (one [[The Hero|good]], one [[Tragic Hero|good but misguided]], and one [[Complete Monster|evil]]) the power to enter. In two of the three endings, it isn't even revealed that she's behind everything. Disguising herself as the [[King Incognito|friendly local gas station attendant]], she then watches events unfold [[Utopia Justifies the Means|to ascertain what kind of new world she will build for humanity.]] Without the intervention of her husband and a [[Combined Energy Attack|massive application]] of [[The Power of Friendship]], she would have gotten away with it, too. Instead, she [[Graceful Loser|fades away gracefully]] and leaves mankind to their own devices...[[My Death Is Just the Beginning|which may have been part of her plan in the first place.]]

* In ''[[Alpha Protocol]]'', {{spoiler|''Mike Thorton himself''}} can become one of these if you play your cards right, build up your contacts, and manipulate your opponents correctly, effectively allowing {{spoiler|Mike}} to [[Take Over the World]].

* ''Chronicles of Tsufanubra'': Veryl manipulates everyone in the game like fiddles. As the "savior" of the Kjrn he seeks to end the Fantastic Racism doing anything to achieve it. He raises Celes to be the new goddess so he could have her as a part of his ambitions as a god. He also manipulates Vladimir to help him, sending him to Celes' group when he doesn't need him before annihilating the kingdom. Revealing his desire to become god and save his kind he gives Celes a chance to join her before dying in the battle with her group fighting for his race.

* ~~''Demon Legacy'':~~ [[The Grim Reaper|Shadar]] "The Malevolent Shadow" was once a prince of a wiped out kingdom who after merging with a sword manages to make himself [[The Dreaded|a figure of fear]] and he uses his position to murder all criminals, as well as anyone, who gets in his way. He keeps up with Deimos and Apollo, and manages to thwart some of their plans. He manages to thwart Faust and Abel's attempts to force to kill him and trying to kill [[The Hero|Slade]] respectively in his goal is [[Visionary Villain|to murder people to keep the balance]] all without going to his [[One-Winged Angel]] form.

* ''Demon Legacy'' has these two:

**[[The Grim Reaper|Shadar]] "The Malevolent Shadow" was once a prince of a wiped out kingdom who after merging with a sword manages to make himself [[The Dreaded|a figure of fear]] and he uses his position to murder all criminals, as well as anyone, who gets in his way.

** Abel started as a nobody, but after getting a magical eye, he trained Slade and got himself killed after revealing his agenda trying to kill Khan in Slade's mind, being only stopped by Shadar. He later returns by murdering Apollo, a [[Manipulative Bastard]] himself and came dangerously close to wiping out the world. He also tried to go out with dignity, even if he ultimately didn't.

* ''[[Last Scenario]]'' has three:

** First is Augustus, who {{spoiler|effortlessly manipulated Felgorn to murder the Emperor so that [[Spoiled Brat]] Helga could take over, then let her run the Empire into the ground so that when he covertly assasinated ''her'', everyone would rejoice and appoint ''him'' Emperor. And when Felgorn finally wises up and turns on him, Augustus ''allows him to kill him'', stating in his dying breath that he was content and that, in a way, he had already won.}}
