Shapeshifter Mode Lock: Difference between revisions

** When his little brother Totoo tries that for himself, he turns himself into a frog, spending half the series figuring how to swallow a couple of pills that now are bigger than his own stomach

** When the angels responsible for Melmo's empowering decide that she's abusing it, by continuosly aging and shapeshifting for personal reasons, they withold their blessing from the candies. However, at the very same moment, Melmo is currently transformed into a dog, so, without her candies, she's stuck in that form, and unable to care for her little brothers. Upon getting her Aesop, she's turned back, but this time with a limited supply of candies.

** In one episode of the original 1969 series, aptly named _____, Akko-chan, upon meeting a [[Long-Lost Uncle Aesop|new deaf kid]], uses her mirror, out of curiosity and compassion, to transform herself in a deaf-mute version of herself. Too bad that, since the mirror works by clear utterances of the needed transformation, and since [[Literal Genie|Akko-chan insisted on the "mute" part of her ailment]], Akko-chan couldn't ask the mirror to be changed back anymore.

*** Apparently, the mirror could have hit the [[Reset Button]] all the times, but {{spoiler|but since it believed Akko-chan's desire for deafness shallow and impulsive, had decided to [[An Aesop|show her how serious is an handicap]] by threatening Akko-chan with a permanent mode-lock, with the added perk to show how badly}} she was missing the point: instead of trying to feel on a temporary basis what deafness is, she should have rather stopped at how her new friend was going on even knowing that he couldn't get a magic mirror to fix him.
