** Bob is actually TheSociopath who only forms friendships because of the power he gains from them. The moment better options come along, his "friends" become useless to him and are thrown aside like trash in favour of newer, stronger friends. Eventually, Bob burns enough bridges that his former friends all decide to jump him, and end up successfully beating Bob to death via a ZergRush.

** The belief that friends grant strength (and hence, a lack of friends makes a person inferior) drives people to make more friends to pursue self-betterment, eventually becoming a [[MemeticsInFiction meme]]. A closer inspection reveals that not everyone benefits from this ideal. To name a few, Alice is talented but feels inadequate due to a lack of friends. Bob enjoys his alone time but is ridiculed because of it. Charlie becomes so obsessed with making friends that he forces others to become his friends. Ultimately, the idea that friends grant strength causes problems that are not visible at first glance.

** The Power of Friendship seems impressive on paper, but in practice, it is really, ''really'' hard to pull off. Long-lasting friendships need a commonality to take root, they take time and effort to build, and people ought to truly accept each other as individuals despite their differences for that power to be effective. In situations where people superficially refer to each other as friends, but secretly distrust each other for one reason or the other (which proves to be quite common in the setting), the "combined energy attack" they pull off might as well hit like a wet noodle.
** As potent the Power of Friendship is, it is easy to be rid of it. Evulz sows discord among Bob's group, or otherwise finds a way to successfully convince Bob to leave his friends.
