** After the Eternal Mud Golem, the {{Mooks}} of the fifth floor of Issei's dungeon, proves so difficult that the Fallen have to use everything they've got to defeat just one of them, they decide to use stealth on the rest of the floor. As soon as they get to the boss room, they have a MassOhCrap when Issei reminds them that the floor bosses are powered up versions of each floor's mook.

These examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** The Purifier's CreativeSterility means that when they rip off video games for designs, they don't consider the weak points in the designs, which a smart foe can take advantage of.
** When the Purifiers' base self-destruct blew it to kingdom come, it caught a large amount of attention. The devils have to resort to a lot of spells and work to keep human minds away from it so they can explore it.

** PlayedForLaughs when Issei copies Major Alex Louis Armstrong's Artistic Alchemic Cannon, noting in his thoughts that unlike the Purifiers, he's perfectly willing to give credit where it's due when he copies something.
