Walking Spoiler: Difference between revisions

* Nia in ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'': is the Spiral King's daughter, appears after Kamina's death.

* Zeref from ''[[Fairy Tail]]''. Even the fact that he's alive at all is a spoiler; this combined with him being [[Bishonen|quite]] [[Death Seeker|diff]][[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|erent]] then how he had been [[Evil Sorcerer|originally described]] makes it essentially impossible to mention him to someone who hasn't read up to the point where he appears without spoiling something.

 

== Comic Books ==

* The ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]'' fic ''[[Reconciliation]]'' has an interesting variant in a character whose conspicuous ''[[Posthumous Character|absence]]'' serves as a Walking Spoiler. It's revealed early on that Hisao has died of a heart attack, setting the plot into motion. Only the most basic description of the setting can avoid mentioning his death.

* Ekaj in ''[[Naruto Veangance Revelaitons]]'' is Ronan's son, and it's almost impossible to talk about him without mentioning [[Satellite Character|this relationship]].

 

== Film ==

* Bellwether, the Deputy Mayor of ''[[Zootopia]]'' who initially is Judy Hopps' influential friend in high places. But then it turns out she has a much different role in the events of the movie than we were initially led to believe.

* King Candy in ''[[Wreck-It Ralph]]'' is this to some extent, with his true identity being a plot twist.

 

== Literature ==

** From the same author, you can't really talk about the second half of ''[[Warbreaker]]'' without revealing that God King Susebron is a perfectly harmless figurehead rather than an [[Evil Overlord]] and Bluefingers and Denth are not allies of the protagonists but the [[Big Bad]] and his [[Dragon with an Agenda]] respectively.

* Rock and Hollyleaf from ''[[Warrior Cats]]''. Rock because he's God and Hollyleaf because of how dynamic her character is.

* Welstiel in the Noble Dead series of books by Barb and J.C. Hendee is a man of mystery in the first book, ''Dhampir''. Starting from the second book and continuing into the third, we discover his true nature, his backstory and relation to the protagonist Magiere, and his goals.

 

* River Song from ''[[Doctor Who]]''. This even applies ''in the series'' - thanks to time travel shenanigans, her timeline runs in the opposite direction of the Doctor's, so her "earlier" is his (and the viewers') "later." Her catchphrase literally ''is'' "Spoilers!"

 

== Video Games ==

* In ''[[Undertale]]'', there are Asriel Dreemurr and the Fallen Child. We learn about their existence near the end of the neutral route, and they play a role in the Good and the Genocide Routes.

* ''[[Five Nights at Freddy's]]'' is one of the most [[Spoilered Rotten]] game franchises ever made, and ''any'' discussion about the past and motivations of ''any'' character is likely to give something away.

 

* Diva'ratrika Val'Sharen, Liriel and "Diva" from ''[[Drowtales]]'' due to the fact that they are all technically the same person, with the last one being the final result of a [[Fusion Dance]] of the Diva'ratrika with a servant, with Liriel being the incomplete fusion. All of which spoils the fact that Diva'ratrika has been dead since nearly the start of the story, with the coup that eventually killed her occurring in the story's prologue.

** And most things about Kalki Nidraa'chal from the same series also qualify. While she actually appears in the Prologue of the story, it takes 25 chapters for us to find out what her deal is. And while quite a few people had already [[I Knew It!|guessed that]] she was really Snadhya'rune Vel'Sharen's daughter, even with a [[Shrug of God]] that while she was Snadhya's daughter Snadhya [[Exact Words|had never given birth]], chapter 25 was a [[Wham! Episode]] in that the explanation of how this was possible also revealed ''other'' gigantic spoilers: Mainly, that the [[Mad Scientist|Val'Jaal'darya]] have not only figured out how to carry a child outside of the mother's womb, but also [[Homosexual Reproduction|make a child have two mothers]]. And Kalki's second mom? None other than Mel'arnach Val'Sarghress, the protagonist Ariel's [[Family Relationship Switcheroo|real mother]], which basically makes Kalki related to half of the important cast members in some form or another. Whew.

 

== [[Western Animation]] ==

* Hiroshi Sato in ''[[The Legend of Korra]]'', whose part in the [[Seventh-Episode Twist]] turns his entire characterization on its ear.

* Breakdown in ''[[Transformers Prime]]'', whose death and implied rebirth as Silas' [[Brain Uploading|new body]] have seemingly caused Hasbro to delay and deny the existence of his toy.
