Zero-Approval Gambit: Difference between revisions

 
Line 26:
* ''[[Gundam Wing]]'' has a two-person variation, where Zechs Merquise and Treize Khushrenada put themselves in charge of the militaries of the space colonies and Earth respectively and then start the biggest, most terrible war they can so the common man will finally realize [[War Is Hell]] and actually do something to prevent it. This is apparently somewhat subtle in the anime; the manga and novelization have Zechs come right out and admit to this trope.
* Partially averted in ''[[Inazuma Eleven]]'' where in the fourth season, Inazuma Eleven GO, {{spoiler|[[The Ace|Gouenji Shuuya]] of all people turned heel and took on the name Ishido Shuuji [[Jerkass Facade|in order to save soccer]] from [[Big Bad]] Senguuji Daigo}}. It is partially averted since quite a few people in-universe know he's actually {{spoiler|Gouenji and vice-versa}} such that it doesn't hurt his reputation that much to anyone inside the [[Fourth Wall]]. In the end his gambit paid off and his position transitioned to the leadership of [[La Résistance]] leader and [[Big Good]] Hibiki Seigou, thereby ensuring the safety of soccer for everyone. Funnily, it was played straight with the fandom.
* Bell Cranel, the most famous and best-liked adventurer in Orario, launches one in season three of ''[[Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?]]'' The first step toward having the people of Orario [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|accept a group of monsters as intellegent beings instead of mindless killing machines]], is to bring that group into Orario. And ''everybody'' hates him for it, even his advisor in the guild (who up to this point had been his surrogate big sister). In the end, {{spoiler|it doesn't work; the monsters have to try to escape from Orario before they're killed, and Bell's reputation appears to be permanently destroyed; it takes a huge amount of work to undo the change to his fortunes.}}
