** ''[[Anime/Bokurano|Bokurano]]'' takes this to such an extreme that it's hard to imagine how it could possibly be worse. It starts with a group of middle-school children being contracted into a "game" to fight enemy mecha. {{spoiler|First, they find out that it's not a game at all, and the giant robots are real, causing thousands of deaths from collateral damage during the battles. Then, it turns out that the robot runs on the pilot's life force, and the contract is unbreakable -- so they're all going to die as a result of the battles. But if they lose even one battle, the whole universe would be destroyed.}} Sound hopeless enough? Oh, one more thing: {{spoiler|the other robots are piloted by children from other Earths in the same situation, so they kill billions of people each time they win}}. [[Mohiro Kitoh]] is the master of this trope. ~ [[User:Enthryn]]

*** I have to agree with this one. Out of this list, this was the one that surprised me the most. You learn that they're the same person '''''before''''' you learn that was a plot twist nowadays. In fact, most of the time, you never learn that was the plot twist unless you read it. ~ [[Tropers/Zfish 9|Zfish 9]]
