Master of Martial Hearts/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: Suzuko Ichisima as well as Aya's fake freinds
  • Moral Event Horizon: While the whole Platonic Hearts tournament involves lots of brutality, until the very end Aya tried hard to stay on the Good Side, with the whole fighting mindset taking its toll on her mind only in the later stages. But after she's backstabbed by her best friends and her love interest, giving her the nastiest form of The Reveal, she discovers that her parents may have fitted the Retired Monster bill, she sees her mother die in atonement and she's made aware that Cute Mute, Stepford Smiler Natsume's mom is the Mastermind behind her predicament, she simply goes to pay her a visit and kills her in cold blood.
    • It's only hinted since the screen fades to black, but it's so heavily hinted to leave no doubt.
    • It may be inferred that Aya simply ended what her mother started, thus trying hard to break the cycle by eradicating every one able to reignite it. But as circles are notorious hard to break, and it wasn't a good action to begin with, Aya may have crossed the Moral Event Horizon without a real reason, becoming as rotten as everyone thought she could end.
      • But if she really did mean to terminate the cycle once and for all, then she's more of a Well-Intentioned Extremist than anything.
  • Narm: Sure it's hopeful that the lady in red can bleed over 15 liters of blood from her head. Also the ending Natsume's mother silent scream and black view, also known as the "Shallow Cheap Hentai Angst Ending" in the circles.
