* TheChewToy: Oh boy, is he ''ever''. Stuck watching the universe being destroyed and his friends going insane no matter what he does, doesn't even have many friendly loopers or Fused Loops to relieve the stress, his first encounter with Equestria was a Bureau loop, and when he got to canon, Sanctuary Loop Equestria, he refused their help because of the bureau loop and went to the Moon, where he ended up influenced by the Nightmare Forces, [[spoiler: his Shadow]], and his outrage over discovering just how good the ponies had it, and went AxCrazy in that loop and mindlessly berserked the ones after, to the point where he was considered an MLE. And because of that, he's rather a pariah among Loopers. Yeesh, he just can't catch a break, can he?

Added DiffLines:

* AngstWhatAngst: {{Deconstructed}}. Denying that he had a problem and refusing to talk to other loopers about it just led to him bottling up until it exploded during an Equestria Loop and he went completely out of control. The events of that loop, as well as the ones following, pretty much made him into a MLE for a while.


Added DiffLines:

* SanitySlippage: The poor guy had a ''[[CrapsackWorld terrible]]'' universe to start with, and to make matters worse, he had ''no'' variants, very few Fused Loops, and few other local Loopers. It's no wonder that his sanity took a turn for the worse, resulting in him temporarily becoming a MLE.

* HeroWithBadPublicity: There was a time when he snapped during an Equestria loop after realizing that the ponies got a mostly peaceful world ''all the time'' while he was forced to watch the world end and his friends die over and over (though it was more complicated than that), went full sadistic villain on the ponies, and then spent a lot of loops in a berserker rage killing everyone he met. This caused him to be considered a MLE. [[spoiler: His Shadow was ''invoking'' this. Normal shadows try to kill their original selves and take over, but the Loops prevent that, so this shadow decided on a different method- absolutely ruining his life by turning the rest of the Multiverse against him and making sure everyone saw him as something to be killed on sight.]]

** [[spoiler: His Shadow tried to do this, as an alternative to killing him (which [[GroundhogDayLoop given the circumstances]] [[ResurrectiveImmortality wasn't very feasible]])- it goaded Naoki into a berserker rage and took over for an Equestria loop, ensuring he made enemies with some ''very'' influential loopers, and with that and his actions in the loops afterwards getting him considered an MLE, meaning most of the multiverse would try to kill him on sight.]]

to:

* [[TooKinkyToTorture Too Broken To Torture]]: Eiken is usually considered a punishment loop because it's really boring, locks down on looper powers, and railroads them onto the canon plot. However, to Naoki these things are ''perks''- Eiken is an ordinary high school where he can be an ordinary student, with no end of the world, no being part demon, no nothing. Naoki considers Eiken to be ''paradise'' compared to [[CrapsackWorld his home loop]].

This person was the anchor of a loop chosen to help jumpstart the badly damaged ''Mega Man'' universe. The attempt [[GoneHorriblyWrong went horribly wrong]] and caused the Crash. In the process, the anchor was metaphysically destroyed, and their loop with them. Absolutely nothing is known about this looper except their role in the Crash and their fate, and because their universe was destroyed at a conceptual level, nothing ever can be.
