Will Not Tell a Lie: Difference between revisions

Line 156:

* Ishida Mitsunari from ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' never lies, or indeed speaks in ''anything'' but [[Brutal Honesty]], due to being too socially blunt. This is one of his few virtues, as he's a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|screaming whirlwind of bloody vengeance]] most of the time.

* This is [[Complete Monster|Terumi]]'s schtick in ''[[Blaz Blue]]''. Lying is, in fact, even a [[Berserk Button]] for him... Besides, what better way to [[Mind Rape]] somebody than [[Hannibal Lecture]]-ing them with [[Awful Truth|Awful Truths]] and [[Brutal Honesty]]; like revealing to them that their desired rightful place in the world was stolen away by their best friend, who only exists because of causality-interference effects screwing with the [[Stable Time Loop|time loops]], or that they're really just a failed version of an [[Eldritch Abomination]], which ''in turn'' is a failed version of a [[Person of Mass Destruction]]?

** Here's another interesting detail about him: He is an [[SNK Boss]], but in his first appearance he claims that he isn't good at fighting. How did he manage to tell that [[Blatant Lies|Blatant Lie]] without breaking character? Well, aside from never telling lies, he is also very accomplished in telling [[Half Truth|Half Truths]], or conveniently "forgetting" to include certain insignificant details that might prove vital to a person's continued existence. Also, he's the ~~[[Trope Pantheons/Mentalism|~~God of Trolling]]... I.e., he just said that while he doesn't consider himself good at fighting, everybody else still suck beastballs at it compared to him, the shitfaced losers. So, while he doesn't necessarily say the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, he never technically fibs and pretty much confesses without ''any'' provocation that he gave [[Anti-Hero|Ragna]] his [[Dark and Troubled Past]] [[For the Evulz]].

** Though subverted that despite his claims of disliking lies and constantly claiming that the world is nothing but lies... he's ''not'' above lying if being honest would lead to his schemes and plans getting revealed too early. For instance, when he attempted to get rid of Makoto for knowing too much of his plan in Jin's story, his claim was merely 'to discipline Makoto'. The [[Hypocrite]].

*** [[From a Certain Point of View]] one ''could'' say that he was being truthful then, too. Offing someone isn't a diciplinary session that would teach anyone a lesson they'd have much use for, but it sure as hell gets the point across that they shouldn't have done it, and will never do it again...
