** Ichigo delivers one about Aizen at the end of the Arrancar Arc.
Deicide Arc. [[spoiler:After having crossed swords with him, Ichigo surmises that [[LonelyAtTheTop Aizen felt lonely due to his overwhelming power inherently putting him above everyone else]], and that deep down what he really wanted was [[IJustWantToBeNormal to be equal to everyone else]].]]
** Interestingly, the series' last chapter has Aizen himself giving one about [[spoiler:Yhwach]].[[spoiler:[[GreaterScopeVillain Yhwach]]]]. Aizen determines, from his last words, that [[spoiler:the reason Yhwach wanted to [[MergedReality merge the World of the Living, Soul Society and Hueco Mundo back into one world where there would be no death]] was because [[ImmortalsFearDeath he himself feared his own death more than anything else]]]].

* ''Film/{{Valentine}}'': At the end of the film after [[spoiler:Adam guns down the Cupid Killer and unmasks them to reveal Dorothy, he and Kate discuss Dorothy while waiting for the cops to arrive. Adam's theory is that Dorothy finally snapped after years of loneliness and the only way to alleviate it was going on a killing spree.]] However, it circles right back into a MotiveRant because [[spoiler:Adam was the real killer all along. Having been framed by Dorothy for sexually assaulting her years ago, he'd never gotten over what she and her friends (minus Kate) did to him until he started murdering her friends, leaving Dorothy for last so he could frame her for his crimes like she framed him.]]
-->'''Adam''': All I can think is... if someone is that lonely or that angry, they can learn to hide it. But inside, it never dies. It just stays there, eats away at you, until one day, you have to do something about it.

linked The Summation


This is when either an enemy of a major villain, or maybe a minion who [[HeelFaceTurn turned against them]], explains to others the nature of their {{conflict}}, typically when the [[ActionFilmQuietDramaScene villain is not around]], likely after the villain has either been [[VillainExitStageLeft defeated]] or is at least [[WeWillMeetAgain temporarily]] out of power. An alternative title for this, "explaining the villain explains the conflict," refers to the notion that explaining what happened makes the actions of the villain's enemy or former rival more understandable.

-->'''Bruce Wayne:''' In my years fighting crime, I've learned one truth... That every villain is the hero of his own story. Superman was no exception. The Joker drugged him, tricked him into killing his pregnant wife, Lois, and made him trigger the bomb that nuked Metropolis. So when Superman killed the Joker, I understood why. We ''all'' did. But once that line was crossed, there was no going back. He gave himself and the Justice League a new mandate. Stop all crime before it happened, by any means necessary. But he couldn't see his good intentions were leading him down a path of tyranny and evil. That's how our greatest hero became our greatest threat.
