Psycho Supporter: Difference between revisions

Line 29:

** Dominique never gets much character development. Legato, though...even the comparatively sane anime version of him is, in fact, fucking nuts, and this is presumably most of the reason he's so dedicated to helping Knives [[Kill All Humans]].

* Roberto from ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'', in a thoroughly creepy fashion.

* In ''[[Code Geass]]'', Diethard Reid, a TV producer who joins [[La Résistance]] not because he agrees with them, but because they're ''epic''. Rolo and V.V. -- murderous [[Yandere]] ~~-- count~~, too.

** Now now, lets be fair. Diethard was also bored at the time.

*** As Diethard explains in the second season, he hates the way the world has gotten and simply wants it to change, {{spoiler|meaning he'll latch onto whoever can change it. When Lelouch/Zero is chased out of the Black Knights, Diethard gloms onto Schneizel with the same fanatical devotion, which causes his death when he pulls a gun on Lelouch and is shot by a Geassed Schneizel.}}

* For a more literal interpretation of "[[Psycho Supporter]]": Amamiya Yuuhi of ''[[The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer]]'' instantly pledges his complete loyalty to Princess Sami after she vows to stop the mages' plot to destroy the world so that she can do so ''herself'' with her own fists.

** Although after fighting the mage's golems, befriending his fellow beast knights, and coming to truly love both Sami and the world, he {{spoiler|decides to stop her by his own hands.}}

* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has [[Dark Action Girl]] [[Psycho for Hire|Tsukuyomi]], though she doesn't seem actually devoted to Fate himself: she seems to be following him solely so she'll have an [[Ax Crazy|opportunity to]] [[Cute and Psycho|kill people]]. Oh, and [[Stalker with a Crush|have]] [[Psycho Lesbian|her]] [[Attempted Rape|way]] with Setsuna...

** It might just be both!

*** {{spoiler|She tries to kill Fate because she hasn't [[Blood Knight|killed anyone for a while. That kind of ends the partnership.]]}}

* Ni Jieni in ''[[Saiyuki]]''. Interesting in that he is both a [[Psycho Supporter]] of Gyokumen.

* Ni Jieni in ''[[Saiyuki]]''. Interesting in that he is both a Psycho Supporter of Gyokumen.

** Arguable since it's very possible that Ni Jieni is the one manipulating Gyokumen.

** At any rate, just using her. He's psycho, and he's backing her up, but his psychosis doesn't instill loyalty or associate him with her cause.

Line 49:

* Michiko of ''[[Texhnolyze]]'' is a seemingly quiet secretary/driver for Onishi. Then we see her collecting the Texhnolyze parts, many of which are still attached to living people...

* Oddly, some of [[The Messiah|Shibuya Yuri's]] most avid followers in ''[[Kyou Kara Maou]]'' are open to this accusation; i.e. following someone because of your own insanity rather than the merits of their position. Yuri's a Demon King, but his goals involve "world peace through people not fighting any more," "not doing his own paperwork" and "playing baseball."

** ~~Gunter--apparently~~ actually an extremely competent academic, highly skilled swordsman, and powerful majutsusha, despite coming off as a brain-damaged [[Shotacon]] [[Squishy Wizard]]. Being around Yuri just makes him dopey as hell, but also means he intently supports whatever Yuri wants, even when it's counter to every custom of the land.

** ~~Conrad--almost~~ as hypercompetent as he seems, and in fact a decent guy, but ''insane.'' Hard to say whether that first comes through when he tells Yuri that if Yuri gets killed Conrad will 'see him again soon' or when he is firm that to protect Yuri he will kill absolutely anyone, but that's just in the first dozen episodes, and by the end the level of his lifelong codependency issues have been thoroughly plumbed.

*** He doesn't really believe in this peace thing, but he believes in Yuri. Because it's Yuri. And Yuri is the center of his universe. Because someone has to be.

** ~~Wolfram--well~~, okay, he's just an eighty-four-year-old teenager in love. Pass.

** ~~Hube--his~~ [[The Atoner]] thing seems weirdly noble and is totally crazy, especially with the [[Death Seeker]] element. Especially crazy when you find out that the sin he was banished for was being a gung-ho commander during the last war and being careless with the troops. Which people don't even hold against him because of all the soldiers who died, they hate him because ''the blind [[White Magician Girl]] everyone loved knowingly worked herself to death trying to heal his casualties''. So he's basically a scapegoat for the whole ruling class' guilt about everything that went wrong in that effed-up war. And then he follows Yuuri with dedication for not entirely buying into that, even though ''he'' still does.

* ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'': Hiromi Kisiragi of the Hakushuu Dinosaurs is a [[Weak but Skilled]] cornerback who is absolutely dedicated in his support of team leader Marco and centre Gaou. He is also very quietly insane, preaching a [[Blood Knight]] [[The Fighting Narcissist|Fighting Narcissist]] philosophy that claims only strength is beautiful. This stems from his past as a weak, bullied chump, and plays directly into his support of [[The Juggernaut|Gaou]] and [[Manipulative Bastard|Marco]].
