The Omniscient Council of Vagueness: Difference between revisions

* The "Book Men" of ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' are shown towards the end of the series in this way—a group of members with their faces hidden by cloaks, gathering in a torch-lit room to gasp and worry over the "awakening" of a mysterious someone. {{spoiler|They're talking about Fakir remembering his [[Reality Warper]] powers. It turns out they're an Ancient Conspiracy that cut off Drosselmeyer's hands...and will do the same to any of his descendants who abuse their powers.}}

* ''[[Death Note]]'' Inverted this a bit in the Yotsuba arc, where there is a shadowy council of eight people at the top of an organization, secretly killing enemies of the corporation—and our main characters spy on, [[Batman Gambit|manipulate]], suspect, and use them as pawns in in their own investigation while the council mostly has no idea they're being spied on.

* The closest thing ''[[One Piece]]'' has is the Gorosei. They're just a bunch of old men who allegedly run the World Government, but between the Council of Kings handling international affairs, and Sengoku controlling the Navy, there's really no telling what they do.

** The Gorosei really are the heads of government, with authority over everything and everyone under them, including the Kings and Sengoku. They have the larger goals which include ensuring that the government remains in control and continues to grow, dealing with those that seek to topple the government, and covering up their own history.

** [[Rave Master]] has the Oracion Six of the Demon Card.

** [[Sonic X]] has the Metarex Army
