* '''Straight''': Rei's Bob's sweet little sister Mei Alice is fated to destroy the world.



** Mei is such a sweet girl, if not for the fact that she's a WalkingWasteland, [[BugWar attracts hordes of alien bugs]], and is fated to destroy the galaxy.
** Mei is absolutely loved by most, but her overwhelming power can obliterate [[TheMultiverse the multiverse]], and [[MoreThanThreeDimensions higher dimensions]].

** Mei's [[OurSoulsAreDifferent soul]] (or a component of her DNA, or ''whatever'') is the key to activating the DoomsdayDevice.
** Mei is only a half-sister to Rei, her father is an EldritchAbomination. Even if she does nothing, Mei's simple existence causes [[NegativeSpaceWedgie distortions in the fabric of reality, breaking the wall between Earth's dimension and the Eldritch Location]], bringing down Hell on Earth.

** Mei is a total JerkAss, but since the world will end without her, everyone is forced to protect her and satisfy her callous whims.

** Mei might be fated to destroy the world, [[ScrewDestiny but the prophecy isn't exactly set in stone]]...
** It's only certain part of Mei that is fated to destroy the world. Remove that part, and Mei is free to live her life.
** The villains from another dimension kill Rei, which is what will supposedly lead to Mei unleashing the EldritchAbomination inside her, destroying the world... But in Mei's rage, she gains control of the EldritchAbomination. Who said that our world [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge was her prophesied target?]]
** Mei leading to the destruction of the world is MetaphoricallyTrue at best. While she does lead to the destruction of the world, it is [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Rei's]] RoaringRampageOfRevenge that actually does the damage -- [[SelfFulfillingProphecy because killing her in the first place is]] what causes Rei to conclude that any world [[DirtyCoward willing to kill innocents to save itself]] isn't worth saving.
** Mei will in fact destroy the universe but it never states when or if it would be a bad thing. In fact [[AllLovingHero Mei takes pacifism to such an extreme she refuses to harm any life in any form.]] She winds up [[TimeAbyss outlasting not only Rei but everything else in the universe.]] It turns out its destruction is essential to its rebirth and is why she could never die despite all of the efforts to kill her to forestall a disaster that would never come.
