Discussion Main / BecauseDestinySaysSo

I have an example:

• A song called [[Vocaloid Kagerou Days]] goes through this trope, revolving around a boy stuck in a "Groundhog Day" Loop where his best friend dies each time, no matter what he does. At the end he figures out to stop the loop he has to die instead of her, realizing a second too late that she'll go through the same exact thing until she either pulls another Heroic Sacrifice or they both die.

Since there's no music tab, though, I don't really know if I should create a new tab and just put one example in it...

This example should be rewritten for clarity; it looks like it contradicts itself with every sentence.

• This trope is the entire premise of the Prince Of Persia: The Sands of Time trilogy, although at the same time frequently and ruthlessly subverted by the Dagger of Time.
  • Ironically, the combination of Because Destiny Says So and You Can't Fight Fate is what drives the second and third games, wherein the Prince is hunted in an attempt to remove him from time for screwing with, er, time, and the third game wherein everything he prevented in the first game comes to pass anyway because of what he did in the second game. In the end, he only escapes his rightfully deserved punishment because he accepts that he's not meant to change the past. Which, again, ironically, he then does anyway.
