![]() In the first Star Trek manga, a man and a woman who were once lovers (and who had a bit of a falling out) come on board the ship.She calls this effect "Nightmare Pain." Shortly after Yubel reveals herself in Season 3, Judai's cloest friends are also infected with a Hate Plague against him, which was quite effective in bringing out his Super-Powered Evil Side, especially when followed by their apparent deaths. While she's on the field as a monster, she can force monsters to attack her she takes no battle damage, and inflicts the same damage to her opponent in retribution. Yubel uses this in duels to great effect in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. ![]() In Read or Die The Television Series, one Villain of the Week uses two kinds of sounds to protect his base as the heroines try to infiltrate it, both of them out of the range of normal hearing: one is a subsonic hum that enhances depression and melancholy in people who are already disposed to it, and the other is a supersonic hum that makes more excitable people angrier and more irritable.It's actually more of a Paranoia Plague than a Hate Plague, with a side order of hallucination, but it gets the job done.Unfortunately, by not fighting against it aggressively enough she produces the same effect as if she hadn't known about it at all, which is to say none, and still gets to watch her friends descend into violent madness. Further, one character does have it figured out in every arc (and a few more know about it but don't find out about specific instances until too late).Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Kai turns it straight again when the heroes learn about the plague in question and conquer it with The Power of Trust.Through most of the arcs, no one figures it out, and as a result, anywhere from more than half of to the entire cast winds up dead at the various ends. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni arguably deconstructs this trope since the main characters always suffer from it.In video games with Standard Status Effects, this can show up as an actual game mechanic, usually "Confusion" or "Berserk."Įxamples of Hate Plague include: Anime and Manga See also Mind Virus and Artifact of Attraction. The Trope Namer is the plot of the Transformers Generation 1 cartoon storyline "The Return of Optimus Prime", a red glowy virus transmitted by touch that affects human and robot alike. Ironically, despite the use of Applied Phlebotinum, this is a more believable version of Toilet Seat Divorce and Conflict Ball, since everyone is Not Himself. This is sometimes a way for characters to vent hitherto unmentioned grievances. Naturally, the heroes realize it just in time. This is often a subtle plan by the Villain of the show who figures it's easier to let the heroes kill off each other. A plot wherein the characters are affected by a force unknown to them and become increasingly snappish and disagreeable to each other, sometimes escalating to outright murderousness.
