Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Difference between revisions

** And when assigning a loyal assassin to {{spoiler|act as a safeguard against possibly rebellious people that you're using in some diabolical plot under the cover of being their sibling}}... Don't make their cover so good that even ''they'' forget that they aren't a {{spoiler|loyal, loving brother.}}

* In ''[[Space Pirate Mito]]'', Aoi wears a bracelet that he believes is a good luck charm and the audience is lead to believe is the key to a powerful weapon. He also starts having [[How Do I Shot Web?|random bursts of powerful energy]] when the bad guys attack. Near the end of the series, [[Big Bad|Ranban]] removes this bracelet and tells Aoi it was an enhancer that brought out his powers, making him helpless without it. Cue Aoi causing an explosion with [[I Am Not Left-Handed|power even greater than he used before]], and Mito telling Ranban that the enhancer was actually a [[Power Limiter|limiter]] to keep Aoi's powers in check.

** Admittedly, after the first few instances it becomes increasingly difficult to tell how much of what Sesshoumaru does with regards to Inuyasha is this trope and how much of it is actually [[I Was Just Passing Through]].

* In ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', [[Nietzsche Wannabe|Shinobu]] [[Big Bad|Sensui]] {{spoiler|kills Yusuke}} toward the end of the [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|Chapter Black]] saga, causing him to {{spoiler|come back from the dead as a [[Half-Human Hybrid|super-demon]] }} and kick ass on a nearly-cosmic level. Especially funny since it follows directly after a [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]], when said hero insisted on fighting [[Magnificent Bastard|Sensui]] at his full, [[Knight Templar|Shinobu]] strength, so he could have a good fight, rather than wiping the floor with [[Split Personality|'I Do The Sick Work' Kazuya]] and saving the world.
