| Angst Coma | comment |
Sometimes called Post-Traumatic Catatonia, this refers to a situation in which a character enters a comatose or catatonic state that is either directly caused by their personal problems, or cured by dealing with their personal problems, or both. Often, the cure comes when the character confronts their demons in a hallucinatory Vision Quest, sometimes accompanied by one or more friends or loved ones who take a Journey to the Center of the Mind. Upon awakening, the victim of the coma may behave in a surprisingly happy and upbeat manner. For some reason, this condition is often associated with / exacerbated by Giant Mecha. A Sub-Trope of the more general Heroic BSoD, this refers specifically to a comatose state to the exclusion of other forms of mental breakdown. Milder forms are Deep Sleep and Sleepy Depressive. Compare Vision Quest and Journey to the Center of the Mind, which don't have to include the coma part or necessarily any angst. May overlap with Convenient Coma, which serves the plot rather than the character. When done poorly see: Wangst. Also see Faint in Shock. |

Glenn, the protagonist of Chained Echoes spends essentially an entire year in bed out of overwhelming guilt from accidentally causing the deaths of ten thousand people when he unwittingly activates a Grimoire, essentially a Fantastic Nuke that annihilates everything in the radius of a small country except for those right next to the device. It is only learning that the Grimoire is still out there and in one piece that motivates him to do something to make sure it never gets used again. | |

The Merman's Children: Father Tomislav's late wife Sena was an orphan raised by relatives who mistreated her. During her marriage to Tomislav she had more miscarriages than live births, and their three oldest surviving children all eventually rebelled and left for distant lands. After the birth of her youngest child Nada, she withdrew into silence and spent ten years in bed, barely moving, until she died. | |

Heralds of Valdemar: Talia of the Arrows trilogy lapses into a self-induced coma after being tortured nearly to death. Naturally, The Power of Love brings her back. The coma was more due to an overdose of smuggled-in poison. Not that the torture didn't help, it meant that none of the Healers could convince her she wasn't being revived for another session or 15 with Ancar. | |

In the "Commander Lilith and the Fight for Sanctuary" DLC of Borderlands 2, a sidequest reveals that Butt-Stallion, Handsome Jack's diamond pony, went into this after the death of Jack at the end of the main story (which in it's case means becoming a statue).

Ray and Dorothy have to carry her back to the house and she passes out again while trying to explain what happened.

Naruto: In Chapter 476, Naruto goes into one of these when he can't come to terms with how hopeless Sasuke's situation is. Downplayed because it only lasted a couple of hours and ended without any mental journey, so it was more of an Angst Nap. Played Straight in the Canon movie The Last. After Hinata "rejects" Naruto and leaves with Toneri, Naruto passes out for three days. According to Sai, Naruto spent those three days repeatedly mumbling Hinata's name, along with "other embarrassing things", while he was sleeping/comatose. |

Considering what he did to her grandfather, it's perfectly understandable. In the episode Time and Punishment", Darkwing lapses into catatonia when Gosalyn disappears. |

In Attack on Titan, this can happen to a user of the Power of the Titans when crossing the Despair Event Horizon. Moments before being captured, Annie Leonhart recalls the promise made to their father and chooses to enter this state to avoid interrogation. Bonus for being sealed inside a Crystal Prison while weeping. Reiner Braun falls into an unconscious state after using their powers to protect Falco. The boy provides exposition of the situation, explaining that the Power of the Titans cannot heal a user that lacks the will to live. Because of their desire to die, Reiner remains fused to their Titan flesh in an unconscious state. |

Supernatural: This happens to Sam after the "wall" in his mind is broken, which causes all of his memories of being tortured by Michael and Lucifer back, after having regained his damaged soul. When Castiel absorbs all of Sam's hell memories in order to save Sam's life, he goes catatonic and the Winchesters stash him in a mental hospital with Meg as a caretaker. When he does wake up, he's a Cloud Cuckoolander who babbles about evolution and bees. |

In Neon Genesis Evangelion, Asuka suffers her infamous Mind Rape by the fifteenth Angel (not to mention that her life was already going down the drain before that). That puts her in an increasingly severe State of Heroic BSoD for the reminder of the series. She ends up catatonic by Episode 24, though in a variation of this trope it's mentioned she's being sedated for her own safety. She gets better. For about five minutes. At the end of Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo, Shinji pretty much ceases to function due to sheer trauma overload (watch the movie and you'll understand why). |

Subaru has experience in this, as in Tokyo Babylon he pulled his childhood friend Midori from the one she fell in after being brutally raped. And he fell into one almost at the end of the manga, after Seishirou revealed that he was the Sakurazukamori: he went catatonic until his twin sister Hokuto pulled a gambit to plan her own death and perished at the hands of Seishirou. And in the X TV series Subaru again has one of these few after he kills Seishirou, but with a push from Hokuto's soul he recovers right before the end, and right on time to help Kamui in his last battle with Fuuma. | |

Higurashi: When They Cry: Satoko enters one after seeing her entire village massacred by a gas leak which she escaped by falling into a river. The aforementioned was inspired at least in part by the ending of Tatarigoroshi-hen (that was cut in the anime), where it's Keiichi who does this in a similar situation. It's also inspired in part by a scene from the PS2-only Taraimawashi-hen, where Mion enters this after having been rescued from events largely comparable to Watanagashi-hen/Meakashi-hen. | |

In Pokémon Adventures, Blue falls into one when she sees her long-lost parents vanish right before her eyes. Considering her rather crappy circumstances and everything she put into getting over it, it's understandable. Props to her for managing to get back on her feet to keep fighting and save them. Black also goes through one, when his Musharna leaves him. It takes a while for him to pick himself up from the ordeal. |

In Shadow of the Conqueror, after meeting Lyrah at the Fallton and agreeing to let her join the group, Daylen immediately goes to his room, sinking in and out of consciousness for the next several hours. When he finally wakes up and gets to his feet (with extreme difficulty), he speculates that the Light is providing Divine Intervention to make sure he's strong enough to face more emotional torture. This is an excellent example of how Daylen acts in his darker moods. | |

In Avatar: The Last Airbender "The Earth King", Zuko undergoes a severe fever and enters a coma in which he has vivid dreams in which his uncle and sister appear as dragons and argue over his life choices and another in which he seems to awaken only to look in the mirror and see himself as the Avatar (Zukotar?). Iroh says that this is "not a natural illness" and the whole thing is apparently caused solely by Zuko's self-conflict. The cause of all this? He freed Appa from the Dai Lee and gave up his Secret Identity as the Blue Spirit When Zuko wakes up he is... uncharacteristically calm and upbeat. | |

In Aim for the Ace! Hiromi goes into one after Coach Munakata dies. Made worse because Munakata died when she was in the USA, some of her friends knew but kept her Locked Out of the Loop so she wouldn't mentally splinter and lose her matches (like it happened to one of them when he found out), and she only learned about it when she came back home. | |

When his cage is moved into Mr. John's apartment in I, Freddy, he realized that Mr. John's cat will make it impossible for him to safely sneak out of his cage, like he used to when he lived with Sophie. Freddy is so upset about the loss of freedom that he enters a hibernating state. Luckily, Sir William turns out to be a civilized cat who doesn't believe in eating pets. | |

Happens to Myn Donos in the X-Wing Series. He'd led a squadron of X-Wings into a trap. He, and his astromech, were the only survivors; after that he was emotionally dead but functional. Until his astromech was destroyed — the last Talon. His failure became complete. There's mention that his squadmates tried to talk to him, but he wouldn't respond. Myn "...just lies there, staring off into nowhere. He'll eat if you put food in his hand, drink if you put the cup to his lips. But he's gone somewhere." His squadmates eventually pull him out of it by putting him through a simulation of that same trap. He's understandably quite pissed, but this hair-of-the-dog technique forces him to deal with his emotions - after he gets through the anger, he can feel other things again. Not that he's fully healed, or anything; the trauma comes back to bite him later in the series. | |

In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, after the return to Earth, Kira Yamato goes into a coma (more like a nap though) partly from the stress of re-entry, and partly because he failed to prevent the destruction of a shuttle full of refugees. | |

The Firefly fic "A Safe Place In the Mind" sees Mal shut down completely due to being tortured. He’s catatonic and River tells the crew Inara can reach him. They take Mal to her, and reaching him takes weeks, with the initial signs of progress being small and gradual. Mal gets more comfortable with Inara touching him, massaging him and just holding him, and he later starts doing a few things on his own, like using the bathroom, and letting Inara feed him. Only then does he finally have a breakthrough and begin speaking and waking up again as Inara reassures him it’s not a dream and he won’t be hurt again. | |

I"s: Ichitaka manages to defeat the Marionette King, but falls into a coma from a head injury he sustained while fighting him. While his body is immobile, his mind has taken him back to the beginning of the series and given him another chance of courting Iori better and sooner than before. His friends are concerned about him not waking up, despite his injuries not being so bad, and Tertani and Jun surmise that Ichitaka must prefer wherever his mind is to reality. It takes Iori's voice to help Ichitaka wake up again. | |

In Death Note, this happens to Sayu after being kidnapped by Mello. Although she is physically unharmed, she is so traumatized by the experience that she ends up in a wheelchair, unable to move or speak, basically an Empty Shell. Towards the end of the manga, she is well enough to stand on her own two feet, but still has Dull Eyes of Unhappiness. | |

Sabo also goes into one when presented with the news of Ace's death, he regains his memories and then suddenly cries due to the sheer amount of sadness and the fact that Ace died. The shock is enough to send him into a coma for three days. |

Ender enters one for a few days near the end of Ender's Game when he discovers that he unwittingly committed mass genocide against the buggers while believing he was only undergoing training for it. Possibly justified in that he was physically and mentally exhausted at the time: the angst was just what pushed him over the edge. Not to mention that he was psychically/spiritually/emotionally connected to the Bugger Queens at the moment he killed them all. They had been trying to reach out to the mind of their enemy in order to understand him and try to communicate in some way. | |

In Eclipse Phase a really bad Stress roll can put a character in a permanent one, and it's harder to fix than mere death. On the other hand the "Downtime" psi-sleight allows a character to willingly enter a catatonic state and regain sanity at an accelerated rate, of course you need to start out with at least one psychiatric disorder to have psi in the first place. | |

The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers introduced "zero point," a rare affliction that occurs when a Cybertronian's spark energy is unable to fully travel the course of the robot's body due to microscopic gaps caused by severe injury. The patient goes into a coma-like state of living death until their body fails and shuts down completely. Autobot psychiatrist Rung has theorized that talking to patients can trigger an emotional response that encourages the brain to force the spark to travel over the gap and revive the afflicted. This treatment has succeeded at least twice so far (in Last Stand of the Wreckers and More Than Meet the Eye). | |

In Goblins, Fumbles falls into one of these after his torture by Goblin Slayer. Big Ears states that his mind is broken beyond his ability to restore. He ends up taking on bits of other peoples' personalities to fill the gap and wake up. Unfortunately, he just has to take most of it from Minmax. | |

Happens twice in Last Scenario. First, Ethan collapses the moment he remembers that Castor is his brother. The second time it happens to Castor, after his first defeat by the party leads to a Villainous Breakdown. Apparently, It Runs in the Family. | |

Subverted in the Dragonlance novel, Dragons of Spring Dawning. The captive Golden General, Laurana seems to go catatonic after hearing that she is going to be tortured to death and have her soul given to a death knight and seeing her Love Interest Tanis Half-Elven serving her Arch-Enemy, the Dragon Highlord Kitiara. In fact Laurana is just luring her enemies into a false sense of security and, as soon as Kitiara has completely disregarded her as a threat, she breaks free, curbstomps Kitiara, and makes her escape. | |

Katawa Shoujo: A milder version happens to Hanako Ikezawa, after hearing that her would-be boyfriend Hisao and her best friend Lilly are planning a birthday party for her, not knowing that birthdays are a trigger for her. This happens in the middle of class, so the teacher has to stop the lesson and have her taken to the infirmary by Shizune. When Hisao sees her again, Hanako is in bed and a little bit more coherent, but extremely shaken. In the unreleased beta, Shizune Hakamichi would've fallen into this if the player-as-Hisao took the sex for solace option with Misha, since it would've been followed by Misha being driven to commit suicide in front of Shizune herself. The trauma would've driven her to catatonia, and optionally to a Death by Despair. |
