I tried to fix the Administrivia.Chained Sinkhole.


* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: His main motivation at the beginning of the game is to rescue his girlfriend, who was kidnapped as part of an effort to capture the Heroine.

Added DiffLines:

* CameBackWrong: Implied in-game and outright confirmed in dev interviews. [[spoiler:When the angels resurrected him, they altered his soul and stripped him of his humanity, leaving only a puppet obsessed with God's order and no kindness.]]


Added DiffLines:

* {{Irony}}: For a man who idealizes order and stability, he undergoes the most drastic character shift of anyone in the game.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Irony}}: Chaos is all about change. The Chaos Hero has the least development of the main cast and ends the game exactly how he begins it: a power crazed JerkWithAHeartOfGold.

* AllThereInTheManual: While he is not mentioned in ''Shin Megami Tensei II'', a developer interview reveals that [[spoiler:his Law route incarnation ([[BroadStrokes or rather a close approximation thereof]]) was the basis of Messiah Project, and his untimely death forced the Order of Messiah to create Aleph and co. as substitutes.]]

Hurting Hero is a disambiguation


* HurtingHero:
** After [[spoiler:he finds out (from the horse's mouth no less) that his mother [[KickTheDog was devoured alive by a demon.]]]] It's worth noting that the demon says "Aw, what's with that face! Come on, there's no reason to be sad. [[spoiler:You'll see her soon enough... in my stomach! Until then, why don't you entertain me for a bit!! I hope you taste as good as she did!".]]
** Possibly his feelings over having to [[spoiler: kill the Law and Chaos Heroes, as they were his friends]].
** You don't never need to look for specific examples for this trope; the Hero's family is dead, the world just got bombed to hell, demons have taken over the remnants of Tokyo, and a grand total of ''one person'' doesn't want to kill him if he so much as blinks the wrong way. Badass or no, it's hard to imagine the Hero as a particularly happy person.
