First Appearance and Origin: What If.? #4 (1977) Significant Issues: Vs All-Winners Squad, destroyed (What If.? #4, 1977); Earth-8206 counterpart defeated. ALTERED VISTAS SAYS: This is an extremely good way to launch the comic strip adventures of the Fourth Doctor, and in many ways the story foreshadows the following. HELLCAT. Real Name: Patricia “Patsy” Walker; formerly Patsy Hellstrom, Patsy Baxter. Identity/Class: Human mutate. Occupation: Adventurer, author. Rashomon"- Style - TV Tropes. A Rashomon- Style story is where the same event is recounted by several characters, and the stories differ in ways that are impossible to reconcile. It shows that two or more people can view the same event quite differently. The author invites the audience to hear them all out and then compare and contrast these divergent points of view. Sometimes the work provides no definitive answer as to what actually happened. Basically, it's a cast full of Unreliable Narrators. Other times, the audience might get the definitive true version of the story at the beginning or end of the episode; and usually both sides will be truthful about some things and exaggerate/outright lie about others. In reality, this condition is so common it's often said that if you have 1. Police officers tend to use this to ferret out "real" witnesses from those whose story might be fabricated or staged with others, because two people will give different details of an event simply because of what they notice and where they were relative to where the event was, and if two (or more) people either give identical stories, match too closely or describe events in an identical fashion, it is extremely likely that one or more of them have been coached or is out- and- out lying. Inspired by the famous Akira Kurosawa film Rashomon, in itself inspired by the short story In a Grove by Ryuunosuke Akutagawa. This influential early example is a sophisticated use of this and, unlike many later examples, provides no definitive answers as to what the truth is. Nowadays, the "Rashomon Episode" is a staple of sitcoms since it lends itself well to comedy. This store sells vintage magazine advertisements and articles, specializing in motorcycle related material. LIVING MONOLITH. Real Name: Ahmet Abdol. Identity/Class: Human mutant, further mutated; Egyptian citizen, with a criminal record identity publicly known. Roof problems suck! We tried to repair our roof too and spent days trying to scrape off all the old tar and paint so we could lay down a rubberized coating. In the sequel Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, right after Megatron's been pounded into a crater by Metroplex, Starscream does what he does best and assumes command. A Rashomon-Style story is where the same event is recounted by several characters, and the stories differ in ways that are impossible to reconcile. A Sub- Trope of Separate Scene Storytelling. See also: P. O. V. Sequel, Self- Serving Memory, Simultaneous Arcs and Perspective Flip. Note that this is not simply "a work, or events in a work, that is shown from multiple character perspectives." Rashomon plots are about characters misremembering or outright falsifying details of what happened, and the "facts" of the different tellings of the story have to contradict each other in some way. If no contradiction is present, it's not this. Instead, it's Once More, with Clarity! open/close all folders Anime & Manga Akahori Gedou Hour Lovege's 1. Love Pheromone recapping how they came to be while in the middle of preparation. Aimi's view of the events is centered around her and filled with romantic clichés. Kaoruko's view of the events reveals that Aimi's always been a bit self- centered, even as a kid. The prophetic dream in the beginning of Puella Magi Madoka Magica is from Madoka's point of view. She sees Homura struggling against a powerful witch and crying out for help, Kyubey tells her she could save Homura by becoming a Magical Girl, and she wakes up on the verge of deciding to do so. Near the end of the series, the audience sees the same event from Homura's perspective, and learns that it happened in the past, not the future, and Homura wasn't crying for help. She was trying to tell Madoka not to listen to Kyubey, who was tricking her into becoming an overpowered witch so he could collect a huge dose of energy. Madoka couldn't hear it, so she contracted anyway and turned into a witch almost immediately after making said contract, explaining why the dream ended at that moment. There are three important factions interested in Haruhi from the beginning in Haruhi Suzumiya. Those are the espers, time travelers and aliens. All of them offer different explanations for what exactly Haruhi is and what she did three years ago, as well as giving different explanations of their origins. The esper ( Itsuki) says Haruhi created all three groups, is possibly a god and remade the world three years ago. The time traveler ( Mikuru) says time travelers came to investigate a problem Haruhi caused, that she's just a normal person with an odd ability and that she broke the time plane three years ago rather than remaking the universe. The alien ( Yuki) spews a lot of big words that Kyon can't really understand, then later says she's not going to offer any more explanations because Kyon has no way of knowing if she's telling the truth while pointing out all three groups have good reason to lie to him. The implication is that all three are partially correct, but also either withholding information, mistaken or outright lying. It only gets more complicated from there. In The Kindaichi Case Files, one case seemingly was connected to a story told about an insane doctor who butchered injured soldiers in his care and tried to sew the body parts together to create an ultimate warrior. Later, another person remembers the same doctor as a kind person who was arrested for refusing to do unethical work. Kindaichi later realizes that the "butcher doctor" story was a red herring, leading him to realize that the murderer was the person who told him the false "butcher" version. Kenko Zenrakei Suieibu Umisho has one episode where Momoko and Sanae give differing views on how the swim club was formed. Sanae, known to be a liar and a storyteller, spins a web of student- teacher relationships and Schoolgirl Lesbians, but Momoko's side discounts both of those. At the end of the episode, a sign is given that Sanae may not have been entirely lying.. An episode of Love Hina has the gang trying to figure out how the rent money was stolen, even though everyone seems to have an alibi. Episode 1. 2 of Simoun, in regards to the sexual encounter between Kaimu and Alti. Each of them claims that the other initiated the act. An anime- only episode of Ranma ½, "The Case of the Missing Takoyaki" features the residents of the Tendo household giving various recounts of how the contents a box of takoyaki were pilfered. The accounts are incomplete, and slanted to cast whoever they accused as being the villain. In the end, Sasuke Sarugakure reveals that everything happened in the order the other cast members describes; they just each ate one takoyaki, which is how the box was emptied by the time Kasumi got back. Tenchi Universe does this at least twice, with Ryoko and Ayeka telling wildly different versions of the same event, each one altering the story to make the teller seem morally superior to the other. Ryoko claims that Ayeka bullied the Hell out of her, whereas Ayeka says Ryoko was the real bully. A rather touching case in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Simon tells about the time they were trapped in a cave- in, and says that he was only able to keep digging to get them out because Kamina was there to encourage him and kept his spirits up through the whole incident. Later the audience hears (via Yoko) Kamina's version of the same story, and Kamina says that he was only able to keep his cool because Simon kept digging and this gave him the courage he needed. True Tears has this for the conversation when Shinichiro entered Hiromi's room. One occurs during episode 1. Rinne, when Ageha innocently holds Rinne's hands, with Sakura seeing it when she opens his door. The first is with Ageha recalling the moment with Rinne. He looks a lot more handsome in her memory, prompting the narrator to state that her memory is slightly off. The second occurs with Sakura recalling the scene. Except she imagines it as him holding her hands rather firmly, as if they were lovers. Like in the previous example, the narrator states that this is not what happened. The third one is from Rokumon's point of view. He recalls it as Ageha and Rinne sharing a somewhat intimate moment together holding hands. Sakura then shows up, and both girls enter a hilarious staring contest at each other. The narrator once again states that this is totally wrong. Comic Books There was one Donald Duck story where was called a hero for saving Daisy. Daisy, Gladstone and Huey, Dewey and Louie tell their own versions of the story. In Daisy's version, all six were canoeing when suddenly some bees attacked , causing him to lose control of the canoe and crashing into a rock. Bad things happen and Daisy ends up getting on a log, directly aiming at a waterfall. Then he comes up with another plan — just before they are about to drop at the fall, makes a particularly epic jump on the ground, holding Daisy. In Gladstone's version, there are no bees, but crashes into a rock because he is an idiot. Then he doesn't run into a tree to save Daisy, but to escape a lynx. And they are not saved from the waterfall by 's jumping abilities, but a particularly ridiculous Deus ex Machina; a ROCK SLIDE that stops the log. In Hero Squared, the superhero and supervillain from the destroyed comic book universe briefly recount to other characters how the universe was destroyed from their perspective. In the superhero's narrative, he's attempting to save reality from an evil Omnicidal Maniac who ends up destroying all of creation out of spite. In the supervillain's story, she's innocently going about her business when the superhero and his cronies burst in in a fit of self- righteous violence and ham- fistedly smash up her lab despite her protests, destroying reality through blundering incompetence. Curiously, we never find out the truth, but while the supervillain's protestations of innocence are clearly unreliable based on what we've seen from her, the superhero is also an Unreliable Narrator, as he's blinded by an overly simplistic Black and White Morality viewpoint and issues with the supervillain he'd rather not face up to. The Phantom Stranger: "Secret Origins" features four alternate, contradictory origin stories and does not tell you which one is true. Assuming that any of them are.. The Question: Quarterly #5 is one of these. It starts with The Question punching the mayor in the face. Then several characters speculate on why he did it, with each version drawn by a different artist.
