History VillainousBreakdown / AnimeAndManga

*** Gaara has an even bigger one during his final battle with Naruto. For all his life Gaara's been driven by his hatred and rage, and in the final decisive clash, Naruto's love for his friends gave him the power to overcome Gaara. Realizing that his entire philosophy was wrong causes Gaara to loose it completely and scream at Naruto as the later continues to crawl towards him. Eventually he realizes that Naruto's love is what gave him the strength to overcome Gaara, causing him to finally let go of his hatred.

** He later returns, [[HeGotBetter reformed]] after his VillainousBreakdown, to make a HeroicSacrifice to destroy the Dark Mirror and therefore help the other four Links defeat Vaati.

* Zofis in ''ZatchBell'' suffers a really nasty one. Even after he gets his ass handed to him he remains defiant and tries to keep Koko's memories of her atrocities intact. Then Brago steps in and confronts Zofis with the fact that Zofis has been afraid of him from the beginning. He then threatens to hunt Zofis down and make his life miserable even after he returns to the momodo world unless he erases the memories. At this point Zofis BREAKS DOWN CRYING WHILE LAUGHING INSANELY AT THE SAME TIME before finally yielding.

*** When Cell returns a Super Perfect Cell you can tell he was going insane from being humiliated by SSJ2 Gohan. He was yelling nonsense, and had facial tics that only a demented madman would have.

[[EmotionlessGirl extraordinarily unfeeling temperament.]]]]
