The Great Flood: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Saint Seiya]]'': the god Poseidon, wishing to wash away the filth of mankind, raises the oceans to destroy all of civilization. In the anime, this is compounded by the [[Barrier Maiden|priestess]] Hilda praying to [[Crossover Cosmology|Odin]] to preserve the ice in the [[Grim Up North]] eternally frozen; her absence causes it to melt and contribute to the flooding. Confusingly, this (and the first major story arc) is all part of a [[Xanatos Roulette]] that started long before the start of the series.

* ''[[Dragon Knights]]'': the demon fish Varawoo sunk the world before it was sealed away.

== [[Film]] ==

* ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]: [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' takes place in a world where the Flood waters have yet to recede. [[Ocean Punk|Everybody lives on mountaintops]].

* In ''[[Final Fantasy III]]'', destroying the balance between Light and Darkness plunges the world into the latter, [[Time Stands Still|freezing the surface in time]] and then flooding it so only a temple and a priestess remain above water.

* Killing Poseidon unleashes a great flood in [[God of War (series)|God of War]] 3. And he's merely the ''first'' God to die in that game.

* Konami's ''[[Noahs Ark]]'' actually takes place ''during the flood'' where the water slowly raises during gameplay.

== [[Real Life]] ==

* The 2011 Australia floods.

* A number of record-breaking floods throughout recorded history could be considered as these, at least in terms of regional and economic effects.
