Line 119:
* In ''[[Mantra (video game)|Mantra]]'', the plot of the game is that Saric (the player character) is supposed to retrieve the Mantras of [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors|fire, earth, water, air, and force]] to help out his master, the Ambassador, in his negotiations with the evil magician Balther. Late in the game, however, you find out that {{spoiler|the Ambassador is actually Balther}}.
* Subverted by {{spoiler|Mr. Mach}} in [[Mega Man Battle Network|Rockman.EXE]] 6, as he is not truly treacherous. {{spoiler|After Rockman is lured into a trap by WWW ([[Oddly Small Organization|World Three]]) and kidnapped, several members decide to betray WWW and start up their own organization, taking Rockman with them.}} He then arranges a meeting with Netto to explain {{spoiler|that he has actually been working for WWW in order to repay a favor from a higher-ranking member, his involvement in the near burning of the school during the first day, and that he helped kidnap Rockman before finding out about the traitors. Mr. Mach then tells Netto where Rockman might currently be, verbally beats himself up for being a hypocrite, and asks for forgiveness before leaving.}}
* The original ''[[Mercenaries]]'' has Josef oust Sergei as leader of the Mafia near the end of the game; probably not all that surprising, since 1) this is [[The Mafiya]] we're talking about, 2) Sergei is an airheaded [[TedSmall BaxterName, Big Ego]] type, 3) Josef is ex-KGB, and 4) they foreshadow the hell out it by showing Josef having practically undisguised contempt for Sergei's bumbling and snotty attitude.
** To be fair, Sergei tried to have the player character ''and'' Josef taken out by the North Koreans first, then Josef launched his coup (though given Josef's demmeanor, Sergei was living on borrowed time anyway).
* In ''[[Bunny Must Die]]'', Bunny, upon receiving her curse, meets up with a fat messenger of God ({{spoiler|read: Dechronos}}) who offers to lead her to the Cave of the Seven Devils to remove said curse -- and gets gored by a stag shortly upon their arrival. By the time she's slagged all the other devils and beaten Chelsea to a pulp, she finds him, fresh as a daisy, and he tells her that he set the plant to blow once she was near it. All of this just to give her a reason to get him all his power back.
