History PlayingWith / RogueProtagonist

* '''Straight''': Bob was [[TheHero the main character]] in ''Heroes of Troperia''. He returns as the BigBad in ''Heroes of Troperia II: [[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo Shadow Spaghetti]]''.

** Every single hero in the ''Heroes of Troperia'' series become the BigBad in the installment next to his or hers.
** In the epilogue of ''Heroes of Troperia: The Ultimate Final'' main hero Ted [[TimeTravel travels in time]] to the past and [[StableTimeLoop becomes]] Emperor Evulz, the BigBad of the first game.

** The ending in ''Heroes of Troperia'' where he took over TheEmpire of [[BigBad Evulz]] is canon, thus averting NoCanonForTheWicked.

** Heroes of Troperia is a FightingGame, so it's entirely Justified that you fight Bob, the winner of previous tournament.

** Bob went through ''a lot'' in ''Heroes of Troperia'', to the point that he had done a FaceHeelTurn.

** [[EvilOverlord Emperor Evulz]], the BigBad in ''Heroes of Troperia I'', [[PromotedToPlayable becomes]] [[HeelFaceTurn the protagonist]] in ''Shadow Spaghetti''.

** The reveal outs Joe as being the VillainProtagonist, explaining why Bob opposes him.

** Bob and Joe are both extremists and [[EvilVersusEvil oppose each other]], with Joe having the relative moral high ground.

** ''Heroes of Troperia'' and ''Shadow Spaghetti'' are separated in a way that won't allow Bob to appear in the sequel, let alone fighting the current protagonist. Such way includes: long in-universe time skip, different world, or Shadow Spaghetti being a {{Prequel}}.

* '''Enforced''': Bob's political views in ''Heroes of Troperia'' received vocal criticism for MoralGuardians, forcing his inclusion as an enemy in ''Shadow Spaghetti'' to distance the creator from Bob.
