Line 27:
** In the second Shippuden movie Shinnou turns out to be one for Amaru. Amaru is quite shocked, but separates the person who taught her medicine and served as an inspiration to save lives and the person who is the [[Big Bad]].
* ''[[Bleach]]'': Aizen {{spoiler|does this when stabbing Hinamori while hugging and praising her, as well as betraying everyone in Soul Society (who adored him) after revealing the fact that he has always been against them}}.
* The first time you properly see Izaya Orihara in the ''[[Durarara!!]]'' anime, he spends most of the episode having a suicidal and unstable girl named Rio, that he pretended to sympathize with and be friends with online, kidnapped and then orchestrating her rescue, only to hold poor Rio over the side of a building, toy with her desire (or lack thereof) to actually commit suicide, and then wander off to watch from a distance as Rio's despair reaches its peak and decides to jump anyway. Luckily for her, Celty was a little more worried about her safety and saves her.
* ''[[Hot Gimmick]]'': Azusa does this to Hatsumi, making her fall in love with him before trying to have his friends gang rape her out of revenge.
* Light Yagami of ''[[Death Note]]'' is quite fond of this trope. The most notable victims of his manipulations are Misa Amane and Kiyomi Takada. Each woman was [[Yandere|incredibly in love with him]], but Light, as with all of his allies, [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|found them disposable.]]
Line 44:
* In the yaoi manga ''Under Grant Hotel'' an inmate named Norman is in love with Swordfish, who is in love with Sen, but pretended to be in love/friends with Sen so he could get closer to Swordfish. He tried to persuade Swordfish to kill Sen but that didn't work. So, on one occasion when there was a scuffle going on he tried to get Sen out of the way by stabbing him with a pencil but accidentally ends up stabbing his inmate Walter instead who was trying to protect Sen in the hope of getting protection from Swordfish. When he finds this out, Norman holds a knife to Walter's neck telling him, "If you don't want to die, don't butt in again Walter!"
* In ''[[Sakura Gari]]'' Sakurako passes herself off as a kind-hearted [[Shallow Love Interest]] to Masataka (who genuinely starts falling for her). Unfortunately for him, she's a scary {{spoiler|and throughly broken}} [[Yandere]] who actually hates him and is [[Brother-Sister Incest|incredibly possessive of her brother]].
* Lancia of ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'' is a young Mafia boss who took Mukuro Rokudo in as a child. However he was betrayed and brainwashed by Mukuro's [[Evil Eye]], which forced him to kill his entire family.
* Kuro from ''[[One Piece]]'' does this to Kaya as part a lengthy scheme to gain her trust so he can claim her fortune and retire from piracy. When Kaya finds out his true nature, he freely admits that he ''hated'' having to act the kindly butler to her.
** It is again used by the [[CP 9]] as they act friendly, become well-loved members of Water 7, befriend many members of Dock 1, including Paulie, but when they reveal themselves, they also reveal that they never had any attachment to the city or to the people inside it. Paulie can't believe it at first, and even asks his traitorous good friend Rob Lucci:
Line 82:
* Morgana, with Uther and Arthur, since the beginnng of ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'' season 3.
* [[Columbo]] ''admits'' to doing this (once) at the end of one of the [[ABC]] TV movies.
* A heroic example in ''[[Robin Hood (TV series)|Robin Hood]]'' was Marian, who cultivates a "friendship" of sorts with Guy of Gisborne so that she can pass on information to Robin. She even goes so far as to pull off a perfectly executed [[Decoy Damsel]] ploy, which Guy falls for hook, line and sinker. Of course, Guy was something of a [[False Friend]] himself considering he seems more than ready to have Marian punished if she disobeys him, and when he learns that she's in love with [[Robin Hood]], he {{spoiler|stabs her to death}}.
* {{spoiler|HG}} from [[Warehouse 13]] does this using the other agents to get an artifact so {{spoiler|she}} could destroy the world though she does somewhat [[Becoming the Mask|become the mask]], getting talked down from doing this when her friend tells her to shoot her instead of being a coward and killing her with the rest of the world.
{{quote|'''Myka:''' If I am wrong, then kill me. Do it! Kill me now! I mean, we're all gonna die anyway right, so what's the difference? So shoot me! Shoot me now. Kill me. But not like this. Not like a coward. I want you to look me in the eyes and. Take. My. Life.}}
Line 123:
** If you get his good ending, it turns into [[Becoming the Mask]] .... maybe. If you believe ''anything'' he says by that point!
*** If you've ground White magic enough to have gotten the spell Empathy, you can use it on him when you next talk to him. {{spoiler|He's telling the truth about how he feels now.}}
* In ''[[Dragon Age II]]'', it's possible for Hawke to do this to Fenris when he finally confronts his former master Danarius by handing Fenris back to him. This will push him over the [[Despair Event Horizon]] so much that he'll simply submit without a fight. This act is considered a [[Moral Event Horizon]] by the other companions save for Anders, who hates Fenris.
* ''[[Touhou]]: Mystic Square'' features the [[Playing with Fire|fire]] and [[An Ice Person|ice]] magicians [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Yuki and Mai]] as a [[Dual Boss]]. If you defeat Mai first, Yuki will be furious and [[Turns Red|crank up the heat]]. But if you defeat Yuki first, Mai will smugly declare that her comrade was nothing more than "dead weight" dragging her down (though ironically Mai's regarded as the easier of the two). Mai's [[Leitmotif]] is appropriately named "Treacherous Maiden ~ Judas Kiss."
Line 132:
* In ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'', Nale drives Elan to the [[Despair Event Horizon]] by telling him that Haley is this trope, taking advantage of [[Not What It Looks Like|incriminating evidence]] and Haley's [[The Unintelligible|inability to defend herself]] to [[Evil Gloating|gloat]] about Haley's supposed betrayal of Elan's friends and Elan's stupidity in not seeing that she was [[Evil All Along]]. Elan is {{spoiler|briefly}} convinced and goes into a [[Unstoppable Rage|murderous fury]], telling Haley that he hates her, before Haley finally manages to [[Cannot Spit It Out|spit it out]].
** Nale also uses a suggestion spell to make Elan angrier, hence the uncharacteristic murderous fury.
* In ''[[Girl Genius]]'', Tarvek and Gil's childhood friendship ''was'' real. Sadly, circumstances separated them and they both became convinced that the other was a [[False Friend]] due to some more unfortunate circumstances. They are currently [[Fire-Forged Friends]] / [[Vitriolic Best Buds]].
