Line 1:
{{trope}}
{{quote|''"Good, I can feel your anger. I am defenseless. Take your weapon. [[Trope Namer|Strike me down with all of your hatred]] and [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope|your journey towards the dark side will be complete]]!"''
|'''[[Big Bad|Emperor Palpatine]]''', ''[[Star Wars]]: [[Return of the Jedi]]''}}
So the hero has a chance to kill the [[Big Bad]], or some other villain, but the villain actually wants this. He practically goads the hero into doing so. Often it's because [[My Death Is Just the Beginning]], or the villain is invoking [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him]] and wants to push the hero [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope|off the Slippery Slope.]] The latter motivation is pretty much exclusively the province of [[The Corrupter]].
Line 15 ⟶ 16:
{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'', it turns out Johan did this to his sister Nina during the first episode, killing their foster parents and enticing Nina to shoot him. [[Foregone Conclusion|Obviously, she did]]. {{spoiler|It eventually turns out he wants the protagonist [[The Messiah|Dr. Tenma]] (since he saved Johan and allowed him to continue being...[[Complete Monster|who he is]]) to shoot and kill him to prove that [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|human lives aren't equal]].}}
Line 39:
== Fan
* In the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3460966/1/Difficult_to_Fight_Against_Anger Difficult To Fight Against Anger]'', Warren Mears taunts {{spoiler|Willow}} by suggesting that, when he was raping {{spoiler|Tara}}, he got the impression that she {{spoiler|[[Post-Rape Taunt|isn't all the way gay]]}}. This is completely intentional, to get {{spoiler|her}} to lash out at him {{spoiler|with magic}}, so he can {{spoiler|[[Mega Manning|absorb her spells]]}}. He even says "[[Shout-Out|Strike me down with all of your hatred!]]" at one point. This ''is'' [[Geek|Warren]], after all.
