** Twenty years before the Wano Country arc, [[WorldsStrongestMan Kaido]] of [[TheDreaded the Four Emperors]] killed Kozuki Oden, burned his castle and traumatized his son Momonosuke, who has had nightmares about Kaido ever since. During the Onigashima War, Shinobu uses her Devil Fruit ability to age him 20 years, which consequently matures his dragon transformation. After carrying Luffy back to Onigashima, a transformed Momonosuke bites Kaido's own dragon form in rage, which causes Kaido moderate pain. Luffy then asks Momonosuke if there's anything in the world that can scare him after having bitten an Emperor of the Sea; realizing [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu the magnitude of what he just did]], Momonosuke confidently responds that "there isn't".

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'': [[Characters/AmphibiaAnneBoonchuy Anne Boonchuy]] spent most of her life being an ExtremeDoormat because she was afraid Sasha would not want to be her friend anymore if she wasn't. Even though their friendship is irreparably changed in the season 1 finale, Anne remains tentatively hopeful that Sasha might change for the better and their friendship can be repaired. [[spoiler:However, in "True Colors", when Sasha reveals she lied about being reformed to manipulate Anne into helping her conquer Newtopia, and implicitly threatens to end the friendship again to force Anne back in line, Anne angrily declares that she is ''done'' listening to Sasha and their friendship is ''over''. Sasha is stunned.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/LightOfTheMoon'': Varian had been kept from telling Rapunzel the truth about why Gothel brought him to the tower (which would also indirectly reveal that ''she'' was kidnapped, too) under threat of Gothel killing Quirin. Due to this threat, he also couldn't confront Gothel about how horrible a person she is (Rapunzel was convinced she was a good person but Varian always [[FauxAffablyEvil saw through her disguise]]. [[spoiler:When Rapunzel learns that she's the lost princess, both she and Varian tear into Gothel for kidnapping them and lying to them (or, at least, Rapunzel) for years.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'': Gothel has emotionally manipulated Rapunzel her entire life, refusing to let her leave the tower even to go outside, and gaslighting her into believing that it's only Gothel that protects her from the world. By the end, however, [[spoiler:[[CharacterDevelopment not only has Rapunzel gained enough confidence in herself]], but she learns that Gothel kidnapped her from her real parents when she was a baby.]] These things combined are enough to allow Rapunzel to finally stand up to Gothel... But unfortunately, this trope is played realistically. Someone who's spent nearly two decades being possessive and controlling doesn't stop being possessive and controlling just because their victim GrewASpine.
* ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'': Meilin has spent her entire childhood being "perfect little Mei-Mei" for her [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents overly]] [[MyBelovedSmother doting mother]], Ming. She feels that she can only truly be herself around her friends, who are the first ones to treat Mei's panda transformation as something cool and not a curse. As the movie goes on, Mei learns that, unlike the previous women in her family, she ''likes'' having her powers. [[spoiler:It culminates in her standing up to her mother by choosing to keep the panda spirit and go to the concert with her friends rather than go through with the cleansing ceremony. Unfortunately, [[ItMakesSenseInContext this causes a kaiju to attack a boy band and a stadium full of preteens...]]]]
