Saving the Orphanage: Difference between revisions

== Save The Orphanage ==

* This turned out to be the reason behind {{spoiler|Phantom Thief G, a.k.a. Timothy's crime spree}} in ''[[D.Gray-man]]''. [[D.Gray-man/Nightmare Fuel|This being DGM]], of course, the obviously-supernatural methods attracted enough attention that [[It Got Worse]]. In the end, the Black Order wound up paying to save the place anyway.

* Gleefully abused in an episode of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', in which the saintly nurse Clara claims that she took on the role of master thief Psiren in order to obtain the funds to save the hospital where she works from being closed down and demolished. And then the hospital gets demolished anyhow... as do the church and the orphanage and probably a couple of other struggling establishments that follow it. This example may be considered a [[Double Subversion]], since at the end of the episode it's revealed that the city in which it takes place is dying a slow death and Psiren's exploits are drawing in much-needed tourism. [[Alternative Character Interpretation]] suggests that Psiren was just coming up with another lie. And it worked.

 

== Save Various Other Things ==

* An episode of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' featured a town park that was about to be bulldozed by a greedy developer, with an old caretaker as the only man willing to stand up for it. Ironically, the heroes have ''nothing'' to do with saving the park. The old man gets possessed by a youma, gains power over nature, and sics butterflies, birds, and ''squirrels'' on the developers, thus saving the park himself. The heroes have to save him when the youma steals his life-force, but by this point the developers have already abandoned the park and don't return.

* ''[[Sakura Taisen]] V'' has a plot where an evil developer is trying to knock down Harlem and rebuild it - without the poor people in it, of course. Shinjiro goes through an ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' style mock trial to try and save Harlem, as well as talking fellow party member Sagiita (Cheiron in the dub) out of helping them.
