Ambiguous Innocence: Difference between revisions

** Most notably, he ''[[Shoot the Dog|snaps a stray kitten's neck]]'', reasoning that it was faster and more merciful than letting it starve to death.

* In ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'', when Fuyuki was younger his dream was... to rule the world. Also, visiting Keronian kids Chiroro and Karara cause all kinds of trouble when they try to conquer Pokopen themselves.

* The episode of ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' "Pierrot le Fou" explores this, though not with a child. Instead, the "innocent" in question is the (adult) superhuman assassin named Mad Pierrot, who has the mind of a toddler and, as a result, is incredibly sadistic. He's also deathly afraid of cats, and breaks down crying for his mother after taking a minor wound for a thrown knife, having been protected from higher energy projectiles previously.

* In ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'', this is used in some of the witches' personas. Eva-Beatrice gets a touch (although she's closer to a teenager, Eva screaming at her for murdering her husband had a lot of tones of this), but more notable was "pure and sweet" little Maria. So pure and sweet that she's rooting for everyone to [[Unusual Euphemism|go to the Golden Land]], and in one arc, even [[Self-Made Orphan|murders her own mother]] upon deciding that her mother would never do such [[Abusive Parents|awful things]], and so Rosa must be being possessed by the evil witch.
