History PlayingWith / MissedTheCall

** When told that she is not TheChosenOne, Ichigo immediately gives up.
*** Which leads to Ichigo proceeding to sit out the rest of the mess someplace far away from the conflict, assuming Evulz doesn't [[OmnicidalManiac wish to destroy everything.]]

* '''Lampshaded''': "Try not to get too cocky, Ringo. After all, the Oracle's been wrong about the identity of TheChosenOne once already..."

* '''Exploited''': ???

* '''Straight''': [[StrawberryShorthand Ic]][[CuteWitch hi]][[FieryRedhead go]] was told that [[TheChosenOne she's destined to help defeat]] [[EvilOverlord Emperor Evulz]], and has been [[PlayingWithFire honing her magic ever since]]. However, she's suddenly informed that she's ''not'' part of the prophecy after all -- somehow she got confused with ''[[HowDoYouLikeThemApples Ringo]]''. Despite this, Ichigo decides to ScrewDestiny and bring the Emperor down herself anyway.

* '''Inverted''': Ichigo has been fighting Emperor Evulz [[TheUnchosenOne while unaware of the benefit of any prophecies]], but abruptly discovers that she ''is'', in fact, TheChosenOne.

* '''Reconstructed''': Ultimately, Ichigo decides [[I'veComeTooFar she's come too far]] to give up now, and continues the quest with even greater resolve to ScrewDestiny and save the world.

* '''IntendedAudienceReaction''': ...Though one last teaser implies that the scenario in Zig Zagged, where [[ThePowerOfFriendship they both had to work together]], ''just might have been the point all along''.

* '''Reconstructed''': Ultimately, Ichigo decides [[IHaveComeTooFar she's come too far]] to give up now, and continues the quest with even greater resolve to ScrewDestiny and save the world.

** Emperor Evulz defeats Ringo, so now it's up to Ichigo to save the day, Chosen One or not.

* '''Zig Zagged''': There is serious doubt as to which one is the actual Chosen One, Ichigo or Ringo. The series goes back and forth, implying that first one, then the other, is the one referred to in the prophecy. Ultimately, it becomes a moot point as the pair work together to defeat the Emperor...

* '''Enforced''': One of the intended themes of the series is ScrewDestiny, but they wanted to use a prophecy anyway.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Try not to get too cocky, Ringo. After all, the Oracle's been wrong about the identity of the ChosenOne once already..."

* '''Conversed''': "This show is so confusing! Who's the real Chosen One?"

* '''Played For Laughs''':

* '''Straight''': [[StrawberryShorthand I]][[CuteWitch chi]][[FieryRedhead go]] was told that [[TheChosenOne she's destined to help defeat]] [[EvilOverlord Emperor Evulz]], and has been [[PlayingWithFire honing her magic ever since]]. However, she's suddenly informed that she's ''not'' part of the prophecy after all -- somehow she got confused with ''[[HowDoYouLikeThemApples Ringo]]''. Despite this, Ichigo decides to ScrewDestiny and bring the Emperor down herself anyway.

* '''Downplayed''': ???
* '''Justified''': The High Priest of the Oracle's temple lied about the wording of the prophecy as a BatmanGambit to get Emperor Evulz looking in the wrong place.
* '''Inverted''': Ichigo has been fighting Emperor Evulz [[TheUnchosenOne without the benefit of any prophecies or whatnot]], but abruptly discovers that she ''is'', in fact, TheChosenOne.
* '''Subverted''': Ichigo has been told that she is not, in fact, TheChosenOne. After deciding to ScrewDestiny and defeat Emperor Evulz anyway, she's told that it was a false alarm. Ringo isn't the real chosen one, Ichigo was all along.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...At least until new evidence comes to light that neither Ichigo nor Ringo is the real chosen one; it was that guy they met in part 3 with the weird haircut.
* '''Parodied''': The Prophetic Hotline regularly gets its numbers mixed up, resulting in several mis-Chosen Ones. Indeed, Emperor Evulz's job was supposed to go to a farmer in the next country over.

* '''Averted''': The prophets pick the right Chosen One every time.

* '''Lampshaded''':
** "It would sure suck if after all this time and trouble, I ''wasn't'' the Chosen One destined to defeat Emperor Evulz."
** "Try not to get too cocky, Ringo. After all, the Oracle's been wrong about the identity of the ChosenOne once already..."

* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???

* '''Subverted''': Ichigo has been told that she is not, in fact, TheChosenOne. After deciding to ScrewDestiny and defeat Emperor Evulz anyway, she's told that it was a false alarm. Ringo isn't the real chosen one, Ichigo was all along.

* '''Deconstructed''': Having sacrificed a great deal because she was TheChosenOne -- having seen her DoomedHometown destroyed, fleeing the Emperor's forces for years, fighting and training and going through hell -- Ichigo doesn't take the news that there was some sort of cosmic mistake ''well''. Her TrueCompanions are similarly torn; having bonded with Ichigo, they suddenly learn she wasn't meant to be part of their team, and everything she went through was apparently all for nothing.
* '''Reconstructed''': Ultimately, Ichigo decides [[IHaveComeTooFar she's come too far]] to give up now, and continues the quest with even greater resolve to ScrewDestiny and save the world.

* '''IntendedAudienceReaction''' ...though one last teaser implies that the scenario in Zig Zagged, where [[ThePowerOfFriendship they both had to work together]], ''just might have been the point all along''.

* '''Lampshaded''': "It would sure suck if after all this time and trouble, I ''wasn't'' the Chosen One destined to defeat Emperor Evulz."

* '''Played For Laughs:''' Ichigo was rather obviously not the chosen one, but JumpedAtTheCall and [[{{Determinator}} wouldn't be dissuaded]]. Everyone else is more hung up on the idea that she's OMG-not-Chosen than ''she'' is -- comically so, as she's also better at fighting monsters than her Chosen One companions. This makes a sharp contrast with Ringo, who is BrilliantButLazy and [[RefusalOfTheCall perfectly happy]] to let Ichigo do it instead...

* '''Played For Drama:''' Ichigo is immediately kicked out of the group and Ringo brought into the fold. Despite no longer have the team's backing, Emperor Evulz still wants her death [[ForTheEvulz just because]]. Ichigo has to go it alone until she can figure out what to do next -- and being HotBlooded, she isn't even ''considering'' just going into hiding while her old "friends" do all the work.
