Guts from Berserk is loaded with this.As far as targets for passive, everlasting hatred go, special mention has to go to Reiner Braun, after the reveal that he's the Armored Titan. He can't just make it happen on command he needs a purpose in mind (and that purpose is usually incredibly bloody). When practicing his transformations in a controlled environment, he finds they aren't as successful. His first transformation into a Titan, as well as many transformations after, come forth after he claims he'll slaughter the Titans, either as a whole or certain individuals who have earned his scorn. Eren Yeager from Attack on Titan is fueled purely by his hatred for the Titans.While it could be argued that even pure heroes are driven by a hatred of evil and injustice, but this trope is about when hatred is explicitly a driving force in some manner. See also With Great Power Comes Great Insanity, which this trope more often than not leads to. Compare and contrast with Tranquil Fury, which is similar in practice. Some guy named CirclMastr loathed another named DickTree to a point where he literally took over and got to level 99 in the first reactor core because of pure hatred.Ĭontrast with The Power of Love, The Power of Friendship, and The Power of Lust. Surprisingly, though used in more mundane situations, it's Truth in Television. Differing goals can cause a hero and a villain to fight (after all, when one person wants to Save the World and the other wants to Take Over the World, there's bound to be conflict), but the development of an unrelenting, personal hatred allows a great enmity, just like a great romance, to persist for years, turning fights into intensely personal clashes, inducing obsession over one another even when they aren't actively fighting, and causing the villain (if blessed with Joker Immunity) to try to destroy their enemy again and again and again, no matter how many times their plans end in failure. Often, this trope is what causes two people to become Arch Enemies. After all, an easy source of hot anger can be the cold hatred for that person. A calculating person can perfectly use their hate to contain the anger that they then fuel themselves with when faced with extreme adversity. That being said, rage and hate can be intertwined. In both cases, the former lends itself more to berserking, and the latter to thought and planning. Rage is a state of heightened emotional activation, much like lust, whereas hatred is a persistent emotional state, like love. Rage always burns hot, and comes in pulses, whereas hatred can be cold, and last forever. ![]() Those two tropes are more about rage, not hatred. Not to be confused with Unstoppable Rage and/or Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Then there are the times when you are just furious at how horrible the world is and thus, with the Power of Hate, a hero is born ( or a villain). Sometimes, when the villain gloats at your poor dead dog, he makes a mortal enemy. Sometimes it makes you murder someone and makes you the villain. Sometimes hate makes us change things because we are angry and see they don't work like this. ![]() What you do with hate depends on who you are. The desire to exact vengeance upon the enemy that had done you wrong, forces you to push through all kinds of hardship, suffering and adversity. Hatred provides the armour and fuel to harden you and make you move in times of despair.
