Basic Trope: Breaking stuff gives you money.
- Straight: Kolari breaks stuff and money falls out.
- Exaggerated: Kolari blows up the city to get money.
- Downplayed: Kolari breaks stuff and picks up the scraps that are required to craft items which may be used or sold.
- Justified:
- The currency of this world gets its value as a building material.
- Someone is paying Kolari for the vandalism and demolition work.
- Inverted:
- You must pay for replacing stuff you break.
- You get paid for repairing broken objects.
- Subverted: Kolari breaks a street sign and it drops stuff. Upon further examination, it is worthless shrapnel.
- Double Subverted: That turns out to be sellable for a high profit.
- Parodied: Kolari Nukes a city, and the resulting money drop is enough to rebuild the city, clear the fallout, invent a Time Machine to rescue the inhabitants with, and eliminate all poverty across the world.
