The Corruption: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* ''[[Magical Project S]]'' - Pixy Misa is a part of Misao that she's not aware of, and gradually is growing stronger. {{spoiler|After The Big Reveal and Journey To The Center Of The Mind, they start to integrate.}}

* The plot of ''[[Princess Mononoke]]'' begins when Ashitaka is attacked and infected by a corrupted boar-god. While [[Walking the Earth]], he discovers that his infected arm has supernatural strength and a will of its own.

* An odd case in ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]'': vampire blood injected into a wounded person will at first heal them and temporarily grant them vampiric powers, but repeated doses will begin to eat away at their [[Body Horror|body]] and [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|mind]]. The result [[Our Ghouls Are Creepier|isn't]] [[Humanoid Abomination|pretty]].

* ''[[Lyrical Nanoha|Nanoha Force]]'' has the Eclipse virus (which is not [[The Virus]], despite its name), which grants the infected [[Anti-Magic]] and insane [[Healing Factor|regenerative]] powers, [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|at the price of slowly losing their sanity unless they regularly kill people]]. And that's only if you're lucky. Most people that are exposed to it just die.

** Also makes an appearance in [[Transformers: War for Cybertron]], a videogame to which [[Transformers Prime]] is [[Broad Strokes|sorta]] a sequel. Its less corrupting there for living or formerly living things, but a lot more corrupting for nonliving things and feral creatures.

*** The novel Transformers: Exodus, which is sort of a prequel and adaptation of the game, is very explicit about the corruptive influence of Dark Energon. Start with euphoria, boosted power, and greatly increased violent tendencies... then add on instant addiction that will kill you real real slow if you try to kick the habit. Oh, and the stuff turns any normal Energon it comes in contact with into more Dark Energon.

 

== Real Life ==

* Methamphetamine abuse and addiction. For many users, the first few uses of methamphetamine provide great pleasure or greatly reduced need for things such as food and sleep, increased sex drive, and greatly increased focus and perceived capability - turning early users into work and sex machines. Unfortunately, the lack of sleep and the drug effect itself produces amphetamine psychosis and paranoia, the need for sex can make users make very unsafe sexual decisions, and addiction and tolerance means that more and more of the drug needs to be used to get the "good" effects - which increases the likelihood of the "bad" effects, and the human body is not capable of going without sleep and nutrition. Look up "faces of meth," or go to [[Erowid]]'s meth vault to see [[It Gets Worse|what happens next]].
