True Neutral: Difference between revisions

** Wu Fei Chang in ''[[Gundam Wing]]'', after a [[Freak-Out]], starts attacking everybody in space who possesses weapons regardless of what side they're on. Treize Kushrenada is probably another good example, though he uses one assassination or the other to serve his purpose, he mainly uses his charisma and intellect to legally governing the OZ organization and whose ultimate plan was to {{spoiler|start a war so terrible that would make both Earth and the space colonies give up war forever while giving up his own life in the process.}}

** The ORB Union from the [[Gundam Seed|Cosmic]] [[Gundam Seed Destiny|Era]] timeline established themselves as a neutral nation. They allow [[Puny Earthlings|naturals]] and [[Designer Babies|coordinators]] to live in their country, and they have a non-discrimination policy to ensure coexistence. Their national motto also reflects their global-political standings;

** ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' is ''filled'' with this. There's Celestial Being, a paramilitary organization created to eradicate war, they will attack any nations or factions who they see causing tensions. CB founder Aeolia Schenberg and members Lockon Stratos {{spoiler|(the first)}}, Sumeragi Lee Noriega and Feldt Grace are true neutrals of types 5, 13, 9 and 6 respectively. Regene Regetta of the Innovators is a type 2 & 13. Then there's [[Ordinary High School Student|Ordinary]] [[High School Sweethearts]] Saji Crossroad and Louise Halevy. They spent most of the first season as Type 10 True Neutrals being [[Innocent Bystander|Innocent Bystanders]] until their [[Tear Jerker|heart-breaking]] [[Wham! Episode]]. Lastly, Azadistan first princess Marina Ismail. Being an [[Actual Pacifist]], she spent the whole second season as a Type 7 True Neutral.

** [[Gundam AGE|Asemu Asuno]], whose main concern as a young soldier is to become stronger so that he can defeat his X-Rounder former friend in battle, even disregarding the rules of his father's military at times.

**** Destruction actually {{spoiler|abandons his role as Destruction}} largely because he can no longer carry it out in a neutral fashion - his feelings get in the way.

* [[Death's Head|Deaths Head]], Freelance Peacekeeping Agent. He'll do anything as long as he's paid, and paid well.

* [[The Punisher]] is a [[Vigilante Man]] and [[Anti-Hero]], though many may consider chaotic neutral is not really known for being a "free spirit."

* Peter Parker starts out as a Type 11 True Neutral, and continues to be this even after acquiring the special ability as ''[[Spider-Man]]'', up until the death of his dear uncle because of his own indifferent attitude toward the villain who killed him. Afterwards, he became the [[Neutral Good]] ''[[Spider-Man]]'' we know today.

== Western Animation ==

* The Neutral Planet from ''[[Futurama]]'' is a spoof of the Just Don't Care type.

** Scruffy the Janitor. Mmm-hmmm.

* Zuko in the first season of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' would count as either this or [[Lawful Neutral]].

* Gaz of ''[[Invader Zim]]'' is a self centered, uncaring version rather than apathetic, so unconcerned with anything not directly related to her that she casually dismisses an alien obsessed with enslaving and/or incinerating Earth (who while admittedly [[Lord Error-Prone]] is still capable of causing massive death and destruction), and the only time we see any real emotion from her is when she tries to have dinner with her father, something that happens once or twice a year for their family. Gaz's entire life revolves around empty threats directed at people, playing video games and desperately trying to get her father to pay attention to her. [[Word of God]] has it she uses video games to shut out reality because [[Crapsack World|reality sucks.]] She's not a good character, but she's not necessarily bad either. She tries to get everything that she wants, but she'll let go of the person that takes her stuff after they give it back to her (i.e. Iggins).

** In the "Bloaty's Pizza Hog" episode, she gives a reason why she ignores Zim's efforts:

'''Gaz:''' But he's so ''bad'' at it. }}

* Red X from ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' essentially spells out this alignment in one word, when asked whose side he was on.

** That also serves as a particularly awesome [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner|pre-asskicking one liner]].

* In ''[[The Lion King]]'', Timon and Pumbaa start off as the "Don't Care" type of True Neutral, with their motto of ''"Hakuna Matata"'' (No Worries). They manage to convert Simba into this temporarily before he decides [[Lawful Good|to recognize his duty as a king]].

* Merklynn, from the short-lived [[Merchandise-Driven]] 80s cartoon ''[[Visionaries]]'', definitely falls under Type 2. He would repeatedly [[Status Quo Is God|rescue the bad guys from jail after the good guys had won]]. Of course, he gave both sides their powers so they'd be able to carry out tasks for him, so he was probably just protecting his investment.

* ''[[Adventure Time]]'':

'''Dark Wizard:''' Well, no... But it's not good either! }}

* [[Your Mileage May Vary|Arguably]] [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter|Vanessa]] from ''[[Phineas and Ferb]],'' overlapping with [[Selfish Good, Selfish Evil|Selfish Neutral]]---she clearly finds her [[Punch Clock Villain]] father's plans annoying, but she never really actively helps his nemesis [[Everythings Better With Platypus|Perry]] stop him either. She seems to becoming closer to [[Chaotic Neutral]] as time goes on, though, despite expressing at least some misgivings:

'''Vanessa:''' Halfway, huh? Hmm... You mean like, maybe I should take an interest in his work? I would, but it's actually evil. I just can't---Ferb? }}

* On ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'', Samy cares very little whether the people of Miseryville are suffering [[For the Evulz|like his boss does]], he's only intrested in two things: his acting career and, according to [[Word of God]], [[The Starscream|overthrowing Lucius]].
