Nice Job Breaking It, Hero/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

** Some have theorized the opening takes this even farther, {{spoiler|and actually shows an alternate ending right before existence ''does'' end.}}

** And Rossiu, in an attempt to figure out how close "something worse" is to happening, {{spoiler|evacuates humans from their underground cities even when they don't want to leave -- not-quite-unwittingly bringing disaster closer with every person living on the surface.}}

*** Arguably, this is also the result of {{spoiler|the entire ''world'' falling into despair because they've relied on Emeraude for so long that they can't imagine life without her. Which coalesces like Nova into Debonair, an immensely god-like power formed from their collective fear, anxiety, and despair. Debonair is, in turn, the one who manipulates Nova into being her Dragon, as well as brutally screwing up her perception of reality, thus causing all the deaths and pain of the second season.}} Nice job breaking it, Cephiro.

* Occurs on a spectacular scale in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. While Gendo and SEELE propagate the general purpose and technically true cover story that their mission is to prevent the Angels from initiating Third Impact (which would kill the entire human race), the reason for killing the Angels is in actuality so that they don't interfere in the Human Instrumentality Project, which is a fancy name for SEELE-controlled Third Impact.

** [[Tyke Bomb|Gaara]] probably wouldn't be half as screwed up as he is if his father had not only had him turned into a Jinchuriki, killing his mother in the process, but also {{spoiler|sent Gaara's uncle on a suicide mission and ordered him to tell Gaara that no-one loved him in order to test Shukaku's power}}. OK, so the Fourth Kazekage was doing it to protect his village in desperate times, but he ended up with an unstable, [[Ax Crazy]] child who kills people left, right and centre, is treated like a monster, has his own siblings terrified of him, and probably would have gotten a lot worse if [[Defeat Means Friendship|Naruto hadn't showed up]].

* ''[[Él|EL]]'' takes place [[After the End]], which happened because some of the worlds major powers decided to put an end to environmental pollution... by [[A Million Is a Statistic|nuking most of humanity]], and [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|nearly all other life on earth]], out of existence.

* In ''[[The World God Only Knows]]'' manga, {{spoiler|Haqua released Fiore out of mercy when Fiore showed "evidence" that she is innocent. Later on, Nora tries capturing her but both Haqua and Nora were restrained. So yeah, Haqua, maybe you should have followed Keima's instructions. Nice job breaking it, Haqua.}}

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'': The five Signers think they've successfully stopped the season's [[Big Bad]] and saved the world by defeating him in a duel, only to shortly realize they've brought a [[Xanatos Gambit]] to fruition, as, regardless of their victory, the duel completed "the Circuit," allowing the Arc Cradle to descend over New Domino and begin the countdown to the city's destruction.

* While they can't be fully considered "Heroes" the Marines in ''[[One Piece]]'' cause this following {{spoiler|The Whitebeard War. Their long, elaborate plan to kill Whitebeard worked, and they also killed off the son of the Pirate King (Ace). The only problem is that in doing so, they horribly screwed up the power balance of the New World, causing several towns to get overrun by pirates. Also, since Whitebeard confirmed that One Piece existed with his dying breath, the piracy rates have practically DOUBLED. To make matters worse, Blackbeard managed to free some of the worse criminals in the history of the world, added them to his crew, and has now stolen Whitebeard's Devil Fruit, which is capable of causing untold carnage, before finally declaring war on the World Government. And to top it all off, the Elders decided to censor the escape of even more of the Level 6 prisoners, meaning they can do whatever the hell they want. So basically, they wound up screwing up the Entire World thanks to a horribly short sighted plan. BRAVO. [[Slow Clap|*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*]] }}

** The actual protagonists fall into this on occasion as well. Luffy's jailbreak at Impel Down let a bunch of inmates out of prison. Granted, it's reasonable to assume that a fraction of them were actually decent guys like Mr. 2, Jimbei, and the Newkama pirates, but the majority was made up of dangerous criminals. Also, Franky blew up the labrotory of the greatest scientist in the world... twice. He saw the [[Big Red Button]] with the skull 'n crossbones on it and thought [[What an Idiot!|that it must be a pirate button.]]

* ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'' has Caren [[Aloof Ally|refusing to join the mermaid trio]]. Good idea for her, but it's a bad idea since that allows the Black Beauty Sisters to capture her.
