* Just like the Jean Grey example itself, Zero from ''[[Mega Man X]]'' is known in the fandom for dying and resurrecting at the drop of a hat, which isn't exactly fair. He's only died canonically, what, <s>4/5</s> 3 times? <s>And he's not revived the last time.</s> Scratch that, he came back as a biometal. In the words of Sigma: "ZELLO! JUZDIE!" Perhaps this is because Zero is [[The Obi-Wan]] and the writers thought he was too [[Badass]] to keep dead.
** According to the creator, Zero was originally supposed to stay dead the first time. It didn't work out.
Line 48 ⟶ 49:
*** Yuyuko herself would become known as a [[Big Eater]] because of this, as well as her comments about the game's events being a "wonderful midnight snack tour," with [[Flanderization]] taking her appetite to [[Extreme Omnivore]] levels.
**** Aki Eda turns Yuyuko's appetite into a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] when, at the end of the [[Batman Gambit]] within the [[Xanatos Gambit]] that is ''Silent Sinner in Blue'', Yuyuko prioritizes stealing a simple jug of Lunarian sake over advanced Lunarian technology and weaponry. It's too trivial for retaliatory action and can be consumed in a single sitting so it can never be recovered, but it perfectly broadcasts "We win."
** Youmu isn't a model of courage and maturity to begin with, but since she utterly failed a test of courage in ''StrangeOriental andSacred Bright Nature DeityPlace'', it seems the fandom will never see her again as anything but a crybaby who shrieks like a little girl and cries in a corner at the sight of ghosts or anything that looks like one, despite her being half-ghost herself and being indifferent to real ghosts in canon.
** There's also Keine, the unfortunate were-hakutaku who will forever be known for all the [[Touhou/Memes|CAVED]] [[Memetic Molester|people left in her wake]].
** Since the day she lost the Jeweled Pagoda of Bishamonten and needed Nazrin's help to retrieve it, Shou Toramaru has been [[Flanderization|Flanderized]] in fanon into an insufferable and incompetent scatterbrain who loses or misplaces her belongings all the time, much to Nazrin's irritation.
Line 115 ⟶ 116:
* Sony Online Entertainment will never live down the "New Game Enhancements" to ''[[Star Wars Galaxies]]'' in Nov. 2005, which caused the hemorrhaging of subscriptions and saw the beginning of the six-year slippery slope to the game's cancellation in late 2011.
** Simiarlly, the Playstation Network will never be looked at the same way again thanks to Sony not handling the hacking incidents on its networks more swiftly, which caused the PSN to be down for almost a month.
* [[Super Mario Bros.(franchise)|Yoshi]] is often thought of as a mindless monster who eats people, gets ridden on all the time, and [[Pokémon-Speak|speaks like a Pokémon]]. However, many video games have shown that he is kind, intelligent, and perfectly capable of speech, and ever since the Gamecube era, he has stood in a pose that makes him practically impossible to ride.
* Bianca Whitaker from ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'', DS remake, is remembered for having a habit of reminding you [[Remember When You Blew Up a Sun?|how she and the hero went on a ghost hunting when they were kids]]. She only talks about ghost hunting a few time after she and her childhood friend reunion, and will only talk about it more along with other things when you're revisiting her places of memory in a party chat. Of course, some fans ignore this, resulting Bianca being a lot less dateable.
* If one were to mention the name [[CAVE]], the ONLY image that will pop into most gamers' minds is that of their infamous [[True Final Boss]]es, never mind the other 98% of the games they appear in.
