Fridge Brilliance

  • The reason why Soul Eater rejects Windy it is not simply because Even Evil Has Standards, but more like how it feeds. It fed on the souls of those close to the bearer. Windy has never accepted anyone in her heart, constantly only thinking of herself and her desire to destroy the world for self-revenge, she doesn't even open her heart to Barbarossa. Therefore, Soul Eater refuses to be hosted by Windy because it'll end up hungry with no 'close friend's soul' to consume. Additionally, there's the fact that the rule of Runes have been breached: A person can only hold one True Rune or parts of it. Windy already had the (Front) Gate Rune, then she wanted the Soul Eater too. Naturally, the Soul Eater can't process such violation.

Fridge Logic

  • In this game, you help capture some mountain bandits - Varkas and Sydonia - by order of the Imperial Army, for whom you're working at the beginning. Later on, stuff happens and you become fugitives from the Scarlet Moon Empire, and join the Liberation Army, who asks you to return to the bandits and free them (as they were strung up and left to starve to death in the hot sun). After fighting your way through the mayor's mansion, you free the head bandit, Varkas... but when you go to free Sydonia, he just teleports out of his own accord. And when Varkas asks him why he didn't do that sooner, Sydonia simply replies that he couldn't very well escape without Varkas. It's meant to be touching and show that despite his aloof demeanor, Sydonia really cares for his boss... but why the hell couldn't he just teleport himself out and then untie Varkas? It's never addressed or even hinted at.
    • Ever since I was a kid, I read Varkas' line of "Sydonia... you..." as less of a "Sydonia, you DO care about me as a friend!" and more "Sydonia, you absolute pillock. Teleport YOU down, then cut ME down."
