artillie just had the best response to manga ever while reading Angel Sanctuary:

I think we need to round up all the characters in anime and manga who have directly or indirectly destroyed Tokyo because it was their fate, and start up a support group.

Hmm...Anyone want to create a list of all these characters?

I'm also fond of this comment she made.

 ..so, you're telling me that Alexiel hooks up with her sword in the end?

That's the least of it...

Obviously, there's Kamui, in both original flavor and Dark and Creepy. I can't think of anyone else at the moment, though. How about we expand it to characters who have destroyed Tokyo directly or indirectly, but not necessarily because it was their fate?

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

That works too.

Does Tokyo blow up in Akira? I can't remember where it's set.

How do you do spoiler text? I don't remember.

Spoiler code now in body of post.

Thank you!

Yes, it does. That makes me think of another support group: People who shout other's names excessively. It would certainly have a lot of members: "TESTSUOOOOO!" "KAMUI!" "FUUMA!" "MIAKA!" "TAMAHOME!"

"STELLAAAAAA!"

And I just discovered there's a Tv Tropes page even.

Apparently it's my day to fail at HTML! So instead I shall just give you this:

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Shinji destroys the whole world, so Tokyo's totally involved there. Unless you count that Tokyo was already destroyed once by the Angels IIRC...does that count?

And Akira is indeed set in Tokyo, so Tetsuo counts too (though he destroys Neo-Tokyo, I believe this counts).

In Code Geass major parts of Tokyo are destroyed... you could argue it's Lelouch's fault, (well, maybe not Shinjuku, but Saitama (?--I think that's the name, but that's coming straight out of my head) definitely, as Cornelia instigates that just to get Zero out there), or maybe the Emperor's...dunno. XD

Hmm. Enishi blows up a part of Tokyo? I'm having a hard time thinking of them. XD I'll probably have this huge list at like 3 am. XD
