Basic Trope: An antagonistic character hates friendship and bonds, opposing the main character.
- Straight: Bob's Evil Counterpart Enola despises Bob for using The Power of Friendship and intends to kill Bob to prove himself superior.
- Exaggerated:
- Every villain in Friendship Chronicles hates friendship and bonds to the point that Bob's mere presence causes them to rant and rage at him.
- Enola flies into a rage anytime he sees anyone socializing with each other or being happy in each others company.
- Downplayed: Enola has no interest in friends or forming social ties but aside from that, he's no different to any other villain Bob has faced.
- Inverted:
- Justified:
- Enola is an antagonist designed to challenge Bob's ideals and worldview directly, and also because having a flashy rival tends to boost rating and sales.
- Enola is supposed to showcase what kind of person Bob would be if he never moved on from his personal tragedies and chose to wallow in his festering darkness and despair instead.
- Enola hates friendship and bonds because he's had bad experiences with other people in the past and feels that he'd be much better off alone.
- Enola finds social interaction and dealing with other people to be stressful, and feels that he tends to accomplish far more if he simply does everything himself.
- Enola has a hyper-independent and hyper-individualist mindset, driving him to try and accomplish everything himself because he cannot trust others and believes strongly in his own individual abilities. Seeing Bob who accepts help from others and gets further ahead in life enrages Enola to the point of homicidal rage.
- Enola is The Sociopath and/or The Social Darwinist and finds friendship and platonic bonds disgusting.
- Subverted:
- King Kontroller is actually pretending to hate friendship and bonds, and is secretly playing Evil Mentor to Bob, hoping to corrupt him.
- When Bob's attempts to befriend Enola fall on deaf ears, Bob assumes Enola has some ideological thing against friendship. As it turns out, Enola isn't opposed to friendship as a concept but has serious doubts about Bob's trustworthiness.
- Double Subverted:
- Only for it to be revealed that King Kontroller has no care for friendship and bonds.
- Jerkass to One
- Morality Pet
- Averted: Enola is an Evil Counterpart to Bob but doesn't hate friendship and bonds specifically.
- Enforced:
- Friendship Chronicles is all about the importance of social bonds, and as such, Enola exists to showcase what happens if Bob relinquishes all of his ties to other people.
- Enola is either the easiest boss in the game or the hardest depending on Bob's Relationship Values with other party members. Expect to be curbstomped into the ground over and over if you neglected to engage with your other party members.
- The Wolf Pack Boss fight against the Dark Star Alliance requires Bob and his party to make use of their abilities to succeed. If the player neglected Bob's Relationship Values with his party members, they'll lack their stronger abilities, ensuring that it'll be an war of attrition at best and a Total Party Kill for you at worst.
- Invoked:
- Emperor Evulz realizes that he doesn't have all that much in common with Bob but finds that Enola and Bob are quite similar. Evulz hopes that Enola will break Bob's resolve in a way that he can't.
- Enola deliberately pushes Bob's buttons by harming his friends, knowing that Bob will come to the rescue and try to fight him.
- Exploited:
- Emperor Evulz knows that Enola trusts nobody and is planning to stab him in the back. To combat this, he deliberately stokes the flames of Enola's hatred for Bob to delay Enola's backstabbing plans.
- Bob and his friends know that Enola refuses to accept help and deliberately push his buttons, allowing them to curbstomp him with The Power of Friendship.
- Defied:
- Enola realizes that most Friendship Hating Villains such as Lord Isolator, Lonestar One and Cindy Vidualle are hypocrites and decides to tone down his hatred of other people.
- Enola decides that The Power of Friendship is as good a tool as any and decides to form a team of The Psycho Rangers to counter Bob and his party the next time they meet.
- Deconstructed:
- Enola's hatred of friendship and bonds makes him very untrustworthy. Emperor Evulz and his henchmen know that Enola will try to stab them all in the back and plot to get rid of him at the first possible opportunity.
- Rather than being seen as a Badass Evil Is Cool warrior, Enola is portrayed as a pathetic, raging, unstable example of Loners Are Freaks. The only thing Bob feels for Enola is pity and later indifference.
- Enola hates other people so much that he'll fight alone. No matter how much stronger he gets, Bob stomps him into the ground and Enola eventually dies alone because there is nobody there to help him recover from his wounds.
- Enola is so detached from other people that he has no qualms about using them to advance his own agenda. He's immediately outed as a hypocritical sociopath who ironically relies on others to ensure the success of his plans.
- Lord Isolator's main power is being able to separate people from each other. As it turns out, Lord Isolator relies on this power to compensate for how weak he really is. His need to isolate other people makes him controlling and as such, he tends to fold once he actually has to fight.
- Lonestar One is so distrustful that any alliance of theirs tends to break apart due to their extreme paranoia. In addition, they are so reckless in battle that they are quickly overwhelmed by The Power of Friendship and end up being unable to fight Bob and his party off.
- Cindy Vidualle hates other people, but her status as Alpha Bitch requires her to hang around other people in order to establish her power. Her "friends" are too stupid to realize she's using them, and despite her attempts to secure a boyfriend, no man wants her because they know that she's a sociopathic person who uses and abuses others for her own gain, and doesn't actually have any real bonds to speak of.
- Try as he might, Enola's attempts at achieving true loneliness is impossible. Even if he rejects humanity, it will be difficult for him to live alone with his ties to others severed because he will always be connected to others no matter how he tries to avoid or/and reject them.
- Reconstructed
- Enola's hatred of friendship and bonds gives him plenty of time to embrace solitude. He realizes that he actually prefers being alone and uses this time to hone his skills both in and out of combat.
- Due to being a loner, Enola ends up being far more creative compared to Emperor Evulz due to his solitary lifestyle requiring him to make use of his limited resources and train his powers in a way that allows him to hold nothing back.
- Enola's hatred ends up being the very thing that keeps Bob sharp. Due to having someone who challenges Bob directly, Bob is able to function both with and without The Power of Friendship.
- Despite the initial difficulties of forming the Dark Star Alliance, Enola manages to lead a team consisting of himself, Cindy Vidualle, Lonestar One, Lord Isolator and Isolator's distant cousin, King Kontroller. As a team, they actually put up a decent fight against Bob and his party even if their teamwork falters at the end and the team ends up disbanding.
