X MORPH DEFENSE TV TROPES SERIES
Zambot 3: This series personifies this trope.Lina first makes the village elder promise to pay her before lifting a finger to help, then destroys the whole village along with the dragon because the dragon insults her by not stepping on her. The most famous incident is probably the first episode of the anime, in which a village is being attacked by a dragon Lina accidentally set loose by slaughtering/robbing the gang of bandits that it belonged to. Lina Inverse has a nasty habit of casting the Dragon Slave in populated areas, especially when the series takes a turn for the funny.The sequels - Great Mazinger and UFO Robo Grendizer-also played this trope.As soon as the episode 7 it was shown people did NOT appreciate this and as far as they were concerned, Mazinger-Z was just so bad like Dr. And when it is a city, buildings crumble down and people dies. When Kouji and Sayaka battle a Mechanical Beast, usually there is not much left of the battlefield in the wake of the fight. In the anime series he activated Mazinger on an unpopulated area still, he destroyed his grandfather's lab, went on a rampage through the landscape and nearly got his little brother killed). As soon as the first episode we could see how destructive Mazinger-Z may be (in the original manga, Kouji destroyed half city as he was trying figuring out how handling the damned machine. Mazinger Z: This trope was played tragically.Love Pheromone of Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge have been called "Dirty Pair from hell.".The Dirty Pair got their name because of this ( don't call them that to their faces though!).A Willfully Weak character may become one, often after a World of Cardboard Speech. Sometimes this is the practical result of Summon Bigger Fish. If the situation was already disastrous beforehand and he can't possibly make things that much worse than they already are, then he's justified through the Godzilla Threshold. If the destruction that happens truly isn't the hero's fault, then he's just a Walking Disaster Area. Often this comes from careless use of the powers of a Person of Mass Destruction, but often it's just a tendency to cause Disaster Dominoes.Ĭompare What the Hell, Hero?, when the heroes get called out for ruining the town. Insurance companies blacklist this kind of hero. And don't expect any Hero Insurance to cover this. Either way, you're better off moving away, no matter the outcome. It could be by complete accident, not caring, being a Sociopathic Hero or a combination of the three. Yes, some heroes have bad luck enough to cause significant destruction, often more than the villains. Well, no one was killed, but these people are barely better for the town than the monster. What the hell? The heroes fought the monster and defeated it soundly, but they just smashed the place to pieces during the battle. They beat the monster down, and the whole village celebrates with them. All seems lost, until the Big Damn Heroes arrive. Say a hideous monster is terrorizing the town. Basically, Terrifying Rescuers who cause about as much damage, more or less, as the threats they save the day against.
