* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': This results in [[Characters/AvatarTheLastAirbenderPrincessAzula Princess Azula]] downfall. At the beginning of Book 3, she tells Ozai that Zuko killed Aang not her. This is a perceived BatmanGambit for her, either she has Zuko's UndyingLoyalty or she has leverage to take away everything he wanted if he steps out of line. She never considered Zuko would become disillusioned by the Fire Nation and would tell Ozai himself what happened and defect. This decision, while Zuko didn't go in with that intent, destroys Ozai's faith in Azula and sets the foundation for Mai and Ty Lee to turn on her. As a result, her genius idea actually does more harm than had she just told Ozai the truth and acknowledged Zuko did assist her in the final stages.
