Merged Reality: Difference between revisions

 

[[Sister Trope]] to [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]], which deals with changing events in the past in the hope that things turn out better.

 

* ''[[Parallel Trouble Adventure Dual]]''

* ''[[Yumeria]]''

* The objective of the villain in ''[[Noein]]'' is to converge the infinite possible universes into one, which would be free from suffering.

* In ''[[11eyes]]'', Kakeru comes to the realization late in the game that every one of the chosen ones was drawn from another, slightly different, reality since memories and information don't match up. Everyone worries that {{spoiler|they have to die because of Liselotte's soul in them and}} when the battle is finished, they won't be able to see each other again. {{spoiler|Kukuri heals the world back to normal.}} Everyone ends up staying together in the same world, a composite of all of theirs. They'd become such a tight group of [[True Companions]] that it would be too cruel to split them apart.

* {{spoiler|Chao Lingshen}} from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' tries to expose the magical population to the [[Muggles]]. When confronted and asked why, she claims it's for this trope.

** Fate's ultimate plan {{spoiler|is to move all the inhabitants of Mundus Magicus into a super-powerful [[Lotus Eater Machine]] / [[Heaven]].}}

* Subverted like mad with [[The DCU]] character Super***-Prime (he used to be Superboy-Prime until DC lost the rights to the name Superboy, now he's Superman-Prime for no good reason). His motivation is that he wants to bring back his world, the "perfect" world... and he's willing to blow up every ''other'' world in existence to do it. Moreover, he has no problem killing anyone who gets in his way (or anyone who doesn't), because he judges them to be "stupid" versions of people who'd exist on his world. Yes, to some extent, he is [[You Suck|a superpowered avatar of fanboy rage]].

** Fittingly, he [[Humiliation Conga|eventually gets reduced to]] {{spoiler|an internet [[Troll]].}}

* A [[Marvel Comics]] storyline had the [[Fantastic Four]] aiding their [[Heel Face Turn|enemy-turned-ally]] [[Hot Amazon|Ama]][[No Guy Wants an Amazon|zon]] Thundra to merge her [[Lady Land]] [[Alternate History|Alternate Future]] of "[[Meaningful Name|Femizonia]]" with the [[No Woman's Land|misogynistic]] world of Machus to form a composite future of (theoretical) equality between the sexes. The men and women still fight each other constantly with deadly weapons, but Reed Richards just [[Hand Wave|Handwaves]] that as the [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Proud Warrior Race]] version of [[Slap Slap Kiss]]. Naturally, Thundra finds this world boring and [[All the Myriad Ways|seeks out an analogue of Old Femizonia to settle in]].

* The DC and Marvel multiverses briefly merge together into the Amagalm universe in ''DC vs Marvel''. Years later they are merged again(but not creating the Amalgam universe) in the [[JLA-Avengers]] crossover.

* A rare example that's neither: In ''[[Persona]] 2: Innocent Sin'', {{spoiler|the heroes '''lose''' in the end, resulting in the death of one of their own, and the entire world exploding, with only a city that had earlier separated from it surviving. Philemon, one of the representatives of the [[Powers That Be]] offers them a chance to remake the world, altering it so that it's 'better', and the events of this game would never happen}}. They take it... but as seen in Eternal Punishment, it doesn't entirely work.

* Subverted in ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'', where this is exactly what [[Omnicidal Maniac]] Exdeath wants to happen and the heroes are trying to ''prevent''. As it turns out, the [[MacGuffin|power]] he's after was sealed by splitting the world in two hundreds of years ago, and he can only release it from the Dimensional Rift by reuniting the worlds (which entails the destruction of the [[Cosmic Keystone|Crystals]], so with or without Exdeath actually claiming his prize and wreaking havoc with it, everybody's pretty much screwed).

'''Exdeath:''' Are you even listening to me? }}

* One of the items in the ''[[GURPS]]'' sourcebook ''Magic Items III'' is the Healer of Worlds, a [[MacGuffin]] designed specifically for this purpose.
