Send TVRulezAgain a PM notification explaining the badness of natter: natter-fy

Changed line(s) 70,71 (click to see context) from:

* ''Anime/TheUnlimitedHyoubuKyousuke'', episodes 7-8, for (of course) the VillainProtagonist, Kyousuke. Sort of a weird case because the flashback is almost entirely upbeat-ish; most of the tragic stuff is {{Time Skip}}ped over. Only the final push where [[spoiler:the captain]] shoots Kyousuke because he was supposedly going to destroy the world, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero but the assassination attempt fails to kill him and turns him evil]], is actually shown.
* In episode 15 of ''Anime/GuiltyCrown'' ''[[TheHeart Shu]]'' of all people has one of these. [[spoiler: Hare]] is killed right in front of him(literally in his arms) because of something stupid and selfish done by [[spoiler: Souta and his friends]] in order to prevent [[spoiler: the creation of the Void Ranking System.]] After [[spoiler: her]] death Shu gets DullEyesOfUnhappiness and [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything mounts Inori and forcibly removes her Void]] and procedes to chillingly emotionlessly systemetically rip to pieces the mechs attacking them. He then proceeds to go hysterical and begin pounding [[spoiler: Souta's]] face in before being dragged off by Yahiro. [[DespairEventHorizon His next words,]] [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness coming from]] [[TheMessiah Shu of all people]], [[OhCrap hit the characters(and the audience) pretty hard]]:

* The ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries'' has the Origins arc, which shows the backstory of Celestia, Luna, and Discord, and therefore serves as the latter's StartOfDarkness. [[spoiler: Discord was [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior never quite right to begin with]], as it's shown that the draconnequi were like the Shiva of TheMultiverse, performing {{Cosmic Retcon}}s in order to prevent worlds from ending, with Discord enjoying it far more than his siblings, who were only doing their jobs. That being said, in the grand scheme of things he was just a bully and a brat -- until an act of defiance on Celestia's part triggered a series of events that not only led to Discord embracing his sadism, but began a war between the Alicorns and Draconnequi, during which he was further [[EvilMentor mentored in evil]] by the [[FallenAngel Fallen Alicorn]] [[{{Satan}} Morning Star]]. When the war ended, Discord was reborn in Equestria as a mortal (along with Celestia and Luna) with no memory of his past existence, leading to him becoming an odd, but ultimately kind-hearted being... until his true personality resurfaced and consumed his good one.]] From that point on, he was the BigBad CompleteMonster from canon and the rest of the series. Oh, and bonus points, it's shown at the end of the arc that when the Princesses defeated and sealed him away, his last act was to plant the seeds of doubt that led to Luna becoming Nightmare Moon. So he's responsible for ''her'' StartOfDarkness too!
