Not Good with Rejection: Difference between revisions

There's a fundamental difference in character & story, depending on whether the rejected party:

* Crosses the [[Despair Event Horizon]]/becomes suicidal.

* Fall into the more mild [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]/[[Crazy Jealous Guy]] scenario

* Rune from ''[[Karakuridouji Ultimo]]'' falls into this in regards to his current unrequited [[Ho Yay|love for Yamato]].

* ''[[One Piece]]'': Vander Drecken responds very badly to Princess Shirahoshi rejecting his marriage proposals, leading to a very bad case of [[If I Can't Have You]]. Subverted when it's revealed {{spoiler|he only wanted her for her ability to control Sea Kings.}}

* In ''[[Princess Princess]]'' when Tooru tells Sayaka that he only sees her as a sister she has a [[Freak-Out]] moment and [[Spurned Into Suicide|tries to kill herself by jumping off of a cliff]]. She gets better.

* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' has a few characters that fall under this, namely Ali and En (for Usagi and Mamoru respectively), Prince Diamond (for Usagi), and Emerald (for Prince Diamond). And Fiore [[Ho Yay|for Mamoru]]. And Queen Beryl's unrequited love for Endymion/Mamoru. Most of them get over the rejections though, more or less.

* ''[[Okane ga Nai]]'' has Kanou towards Ayase. There's also Ayase's [[Stalker with a Crush]] who pulls a knife on him in a scene similar to [[Attempted Rape]] scene.

* In a ''[[Death Note]]'' flashback, when Misa tries to ignore a [[Stalker with a Crush]] who surprises her at night, he pulls a knife, saying, "Then I'll kill you and myself!"

* ''[[Mirage of Blaze]]'': Naoe towards Kagetora.

* Both of the main female characters on ''[[School Days]]'' fit this trope to a T. And it's ''not'' pretty.

* ''[[Nodame Cantabile]]'': In the Paris Chapter, when Chiaki wanted to break up with Nodame, she beat the crap out of him (on a bridge overlooking the Seine) until he changed his mind.

* Chiri in ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]'' towards Nozomu. One such case is when Nozomu (and guest commentators) immediately and bluntly rejected her suggestion that they could be a successful match (proper love) in the "Maybe Maybe" episode, despite considering and conceding the possibility of success of romantic relationships with Abiru (puppy love), Nami (normal love), Manami (unfaithful love), Kaere (violent love), Chie (adult relationship), Maria (acquaintanceship) and even Ikkyu ([[Ho Yay]]), upon their suggestions. Chiri's reaction to the rejection is frighteningly hilarious.

** Rosine also had an obsession with her friend Jill. So, when Jill definitely refuses her [[We Can Rule Together]] offer, Rosine captures her and tries to turn her into one of her pseudo-Elves by force.

* Saionji in ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' in regards to Anthy.

* Ryoki of ''[[Hot Gimmick]]'' in regards to Hatsumi his girlfriend. At one point in the manga Hatsumi tells Ryoki that she can't be with him anymore when he orders her to make the impossible decision of choosing between him or her family. When she leaves him he's shown thinking to himself "That stupid woman...If she can't be mine she should just die."

* Aoshima of ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' is a playboy that can have any woman he wants except for Belldandy and Skuld. When they reject him he doesn't take it well and attempts to rape them. Thankfully, they both escape him before he can.

* ''[[Mai-HiME]]'': Shizuru out of her love for Natsuki, goes insane when she believes Natsuki has rejected her (Natsuki, however, also considers Shizuru her most important person) and kills those she sees as Natsuki's enemies. And even better, her [[Mons|CHILD]] is named Kiyohime, see the Myth and Legend section of this page for more.

* [[Alternative Character Interpretation|A possible interpretation]] of [[The Determinator|Kyouko]] from ''[[Skip Beat]]''.

* In ''[[Lovely Complex]]'' Mimi briefly acts this way but Koizumi punches her and tells her to deal with it. She gets better.

* The subtext of Yurimaru's death via Zakuro's [[Action Bomb]] trap in ''[[Ninja Scroll]]'' is blatant. Yurimaru is an an electrokinetic [[Bishonen]] who uses [[Razor Floss]]- Zakuro is a [[Action Bomb|viciously inventive]] explosives expert with at the least a prominent facial scar and at most is so covered in scars she looks like [[Frankenstein's Monster]]. Zakuro has a major crush on Yurimaru, but Yurimaru is a [[Depraved Homosexual]] in love with (and sleeping with) their leader, [[Immortality|Himuro Gemma]], and so he rejects her advances rather bluntly. Yurimaru promptly stumbles into an explosives-rigged shed near the climax of the movie, and is blatantly blown to pieces when a detonating rat triggers the whole place going up in flames.

* Happens at least twice in ''[[Detective Conan]]''. The first time, the guy not only killed himself... but he made it look as if the [[Idol Singer]] who rejected him actually murdered him.

* ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]'': {{spoiler|First, we have Elsa, who shot her handler Lauro and then put a bullet through her eye because Lauro did not return her feelings. Many chapters later, Henrietta, who as of late had been ignored by Jose, frags him during a rampage against Dante's men brought about by Ski Mask Guy. Jose has her finish the job. As Henrietta puts one more through Jose, Jose shoots '''her''' through the eye, killing her instantly.}}

* Everyone in ''[[Black Rock Shooter]]''.

* In ''[[Koharu no Hibi]]'' Koharu is so obsessed with Akira that its implied she's Not Good with Rejection in regards to him.

* {{spoiler|Nozomu}} of ''[[Stepping on Roses]]''. To insane proportions. He even goes so far as to {{spoiler|go around with an ax "Here's Johnny" style trying to catch Sumi "cheating on him"}}.

* Genkaku of ''[[Deadman Wonderland]]'' is [[In Love with Your Carnage|in love]] with Nagi/his carnage. He definitely didn't respond well to Nagi rejecting him.

* Light in the ''[[Death Note]]'' [[Slash Fic]] ''[[Office Politics]]'' to [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarious]] effect. When L breaks up with Light he finds that the [[A God Am I|God of the New World]] does not take rejection well. Light's revenge toes the line between terrifying and [[Crazy Awesome|awesome]].

* Light again in the ''[[Death Note]]'' [[Slash Fic]] ''[[A Cure for Love]]'' when L essentially breaks up with Light, [[Bedlam House|wanting to have him committed]], Light becomes very cross and {{spoiler|[[Take Over the World|Takes Over The World]]}}.

* In the ''[[Death Note]]'' fanfic ''[[Point of Succession]]'' [[Axe Crazy|Beyond Birthday]] doesn't take rejection well at all [[Criminal Mind Games|and seeks to regain his beloved's attention through a little serial bloodshed]].

* [[Death Note|Light]] becomes a [[Crazy Jealous Guy]] in ''[[Fever Dreams]]'' after Light saves L from his plan and gives up on being Kira L dumps him because he fears their relationship is corrupting the investigation:

{{quote|'''Light''': I know I can win him back if he'll just visit me in person once.

* [[Death Note|L]] in ''[[My Stupid Reality]]''. [[We Can Rule Together|He can't even fathom why someone WOULDN'T want to be his successor]] so when Light takes pains to avoid him [[Stalker with a Crush|L becomes all the more obsessed]] [[Foe Yay|with having him]].

* [[Naruto|Sasuke]] in [[Slash Fic]] "Purple" by kodak-85 to Naruto. Naruto tells Sasuke he's not gay and doesn't even like him. Sasuke's response is to punch him, tell him "You led me on", ''rape him'' and then carve his trademark whiskers on his face with a knife. As well as telling him he belongs to him.
