Angst? What Angst?: Difference between revisions

* In the ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]'' manga, interestingly enough, the series depicts Train's [[Character Development|progress of maturity]] to be going from [[Wangst|wangsting about the past]] to becoming very carefree. In the second half of the series, Train gets over Saya's death and stops stressing about a lot of things (most of which are pretty important and angst-worthy). For example, when shot accidentally by Creed with the Lucifer bullet, while everyone else (including [[Stalker with a Crush|Creed]]) panics and tells Train that he'll transform into a monster, Train [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|just brushes it off and says he'll handle that when it comes]]. When Train turns into a kid, everyone stresses about it while he actually thinks it's kind of ''fun'' (his more immediate thoughts being whether they can save money on kid's meal and metro ticket prices). This is even [[Lampshaded]] later by one of his past [[Nebulous Evil Organization|Chronos]] superiors, who asks him if he even ''cares'' that [[Big Bad|Creed]] is trying to bring about the [[EndoftheThe End of the World Asas We Know It]]. Train's answer of course is no, and that he only cares about [[Big Eater|what's for lunch tomorrow]].

** It's especially jarring compared to her best friend Yui, who spends half the series thinking she's been gang-raped, and becomes a something of a [[The Scrappy|scrappy]] from the resulting [[Angst Dissonance]]..... while Miaka is something of a [[The Scrappy|scrappy]] because of her aforementioned ''lack'' of angst! [[Unpleasable Fanbase|Confusing, isn't it?]]

* [[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|]]: Judau Ashta]] goes through hell. First of all, he inherits a battle he never had any interest in. Second, he seemingly loses his little sister even when one of his friends promised to keep her alive. Third, nearly every attempt he has at keeping his enemies from throwing their lives away fails miserably. Fourth, his primary love interest is the ''leader'' of the enemy faction and he has to not only kill her, but also the fact she deliberately threw the duel. Fifth, he is appalled by the sheer lethargy the Federation suffers from when they had a genuine chance to attack Zeon. He does a very good job getting over the various problems with only short instances of depression, but in the end he finally his the breaking point. Bright Noah uses a [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|reverse Brightslap]] to get him out of it.
