Talking the Monster to Death: Difference between revisions

* Played with in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. When {{spoiler|Envy}} makes a desperate last attempt to turn {{spoiler|Ed, Roy, Riza and Scar}} against each other, {{spoiler|Ed tells him he's realized the reason he hates human beings so much is his very envy of their humanity}}. His response is to [[Driven to Suicide|kill himself]]. Not a straight example since he was half-dead already anywayand was completely powerless to defend himself, and it was very clear that he wasn't leaving that room alive anyway. He just took what he saw as a less humiliating exit.

* Mr. Satan (Hercule in the dub) does this to Majin Buu in ''[[Dragonball Z]]''. Unfortunately two hunters cause Buu to transform into a more evil form.

* The [[Subverted Trope]] version is used in the [[Climax Boss|Climactic mid-way]] [[Boss Battle]] of the [[OVA]] of ''[[Record of Lodoss War]]'' (which also happens to be the final battle in the first manga, where this trope is also used, since the OVA [[Compressed Adaptation|condensed]] the story dramatically. {{spoiler|Ghim insists that Leylia still exists within her possessed body, and shows a comb he made for her, which allows Leylia a foothold, distracting Karla long enough for the [[Player Party|Party]] to defeat her. Too bad the [[Sixth Ranger]] Woodchuck was possessed next.}}

* In ''[[Girls Bravo]]'''s final episode Yukinari confronts [[Big Bad|Yukina]] who had kidnapped his girlfriend Maharu and was about to [[Gendercide|kill all the men on her planet]]. However he is a [[Non-Action Guy]] and instead of fighting he had a heart to heart talk with her about how they were both [[Allergic to Love]] and convinced her to change her ways. Unfortunately for him she changed into a Yandere [[Stalker with a Crush]] and joined his [[Harem]].
