Summer Wars/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Love Machine doesn't seem too evil at first; in fact it's theorized that he only sees what he's doing as a game. Then he tries to drop a satellite on the house purely out of spite.

** He might have crossed it earlier when {{spoiler|he cut the power for Sakae's heart monitor so that no one would hear that she was in danger of dying. An earlier moment where he was shown looking at her phone address indicates that he purposefully did this to get Sakae out of his way.}}

* [[Tear Jerker]]:

** {{spoiler|Sakae's death}}. Also, {{spoiler|Sakae's will being read to the family, where she pleads to them to take Wabisuke back into their lives.}}

{{quote|{{spoiler|"I want all of you to sit together and eat as a family. As you have always done. The worst things in this world are being hungry and being alone."}}}}

** The manga adaptation makes {{spoiler|Sakae's death}} worse when {{spoiler|Kenji has a nightmare where he's alone in a dark, destroyed OZ, the bodies of defeated avatars all around him (King Kazma included) and finds Sakae attempting to face down Love Machine all on her own with the same weapon she'd pointed at Wabisuke.}} Cue Kenji [[Catapult Nightmare|jerking awake]] only to realize something's wrong.

** Seeing the sardonic and to this point quite unlikeable Wabisuke have a [[Heroic BSOD|BSOD]] once {{spoiler|he finds out Granny Sakae just died}}. After rushing back to the house (and by the look of the car, going through anything in his path), he {{spoiler|cries out for Granny with such a look of despair on his face it breaks hearts.}}

** In a similar vein, seeing reclusive and sharp-tongued Kazuma break down completely after {{spoiler|Love Machine defeats him a second time and devours King Kazma. He breaks down crying not only because he lost--and to him that's kind of a big deal, since many users know him as a world-renowned fighting champion--but also because he feels that he couldn't protect his mother and unborn sister from the incoming threat.}}

** This Troper, oddly, tears up during the Casino scene, where {{spoiler|all the people around the world donate their accounts so Natsuki can keep fighting.}}

* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: Kazuma's character design and voice are so feminine that many an audience mistook him for a young ''girl'' when he first appeared.

* [[The Woobie]]: Natsuki in the second half of the film.
