Big Bad Friend	comment	It's often the person you least expect. The Hero is looking for answers, beating up bikers, paying off informants and searching through the Great Big Library of Everything. His best friend and partner pleads with him to stop, it won't bring "her" back, and it just puts him in danger. Yet still the hero persists. A few acts later, he's getting beat on by the Giant Mook, it looks like it's all going to fade to black when... his partner shows up, gun in hand! Wait, why is he pointing the tranquilizer gun at hiâ€“ When he wakes up, the friend is terribly distraught. Says he tried to get him to stop, that he warned him what would happen. Saving him is out of his hands now, it's all on his head. Wait, what? The best friend has been in league with (or is) the Big Bad behind the whole plot. However, they genuinely like the hero and would rather he live a long and happy life. He might try a Circling Monologue to bring him onboard, but chances are he already knows the hero's moral code is such that he'd just be wasting both their time by doing it. Still, he just might try, for old time's sake. Compounding matters, he's usually a Straw Traitor to some horrible ideal, is either directly or indirectly responsible for much of the hero's recent suffering, and/or was covering it up. Compare Evil Former Friend, The Dog Was the Mastermind, Evil Mentor, and Treacherous Advisor. Contrast Friendly Enemy, Living with the Villain. Not to be confused with another type of big bad friend. If the hero is being chummy with the Big Bad, that's Go-Karting with Bowser. Evil All Along is for anyone who turns out to be evil, not just friends. Related to They Were Holding You Back. As this is a Betrayal Trope and a form of The Reveal, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

In Season 2, the team turns to Professor Lyle to help them translate the Verbis Diablo, unaware that he's actually working for the witch coven they're fighting. To his credit, however, Lyle is being blackmailed into the situation, is clearly uncomfortable with it, and tries to subtly defy the witches and warn the heroes on several occasions. When Sir Malcolm is taken prisoner by the witches at the end of the season, Lyle finally confesses his treachery to the team and helps them storm the witches' castle to rescue him, even managing to personally kill one of the witches.

Big Bad Friend / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: Flipped around in Dragon Age: Origins: The villain Loghain thinks that his king and son-in-law is a Big Bad Friend who is selling out the kingdom to the same empire that his father and Loghain expelled from the country just one generation ago. Thinking the king has already made his Faceâ€“Heel Turn and become The Quisling, he betrays him and takes control of the kingdom himself. Return to Ostagar reveals that the king was indeed planning to divorce Loghain's daughter Anora and marry the Empress of Orlais had he survived the battle, which if Loghain is a party member at the time has him both vindicated and furious that he was right all along. Subverted again in Dragon Age II, where Cassandra is convinced that Varric's friend Hawke was the Big Bad responsible for everything and went to Kirkwall specifically to start the Mage-Templar War that is currently sweeping Thedas, when in reality, they were simply the Right Man in the Wrong Place and were swept up in events far outside of their control. Played straight with Anders, however, who blows up the Kirkwall Chantry, killing scores of innocents, to incite a mage rebellion, ultimately leading to said war. And then Dragon Age: Inquisition gives us Solas, a.k.a. the elven god of rebellion Fen'Harel. Not only was he indirectly responsible for the Breach, he has been manipulating the Inquisition the entire time, and is actually planning to destroy the Veil, merging Thedas and the Fade, which would most likely kill every living being on the planet. If he likes the Inquisitor, he'll be deeply reluctant about it and challenge the Inquisitor to prove him wrong, but if he doesn't, then he'll have no regrets.

Big Bad Friend / int_1adee40d	comment	Joshua in The World Ends with You. You actually have him as a member of your party for 1/3 of the game, as well as a cutscene that starts out short but is slowly revealed (an attempt to confuse the player as to whether Neku's killer was him or the Reaper, Minamimoto). The game switches itself up on you: It intentionally makes you suspect that Joshua did it, then reveals it to be Minamimoto with some rather convincing evidence, even so far as to make you think that Minamimoto could be the final boss, especially after he revives himself. Then, the end of the game does a 180 and reveals that Joshua was not only the killer, but the Composer of the game as well: He killed Neku (who could use any pin) so that Neku could take his place in the Game that would determine Shibuya's fate.

This means that Bruce only finds out there is anything wrong with him when Jeremiah wants him to, and by that time, it's too late, because Jeremiah has already turned the clean energy generators he and Bruce worked on together into bombs.

Eren learns that Annie Leonhart, the girl that taught him how to fight, is really the Female Titan responsible for slaughtering his squad mates. Not long after that, he learns that meek Bertolt Hoover and Team Dad Reiner Braun were the Colossal Titan and Armored Titan all along. And therefore, indirectly responsible for a good majority of the death in the series, including that of his mother. To say he's less than thrilled is an understatement. For an extra twisting of the proverbial knife, all are presented as sympathetic and genuine in their attachment to the people they've betrayed. After the Time Skip, Eren himself becomes this, although the "friend" has been averted dramatically since then.

Big Bad Friend / int_41c887f7	comment	The Truman Show. Truman's "best friend" since childhood (who is really an actor) at one point appears to truly be listening to Truman's plight and confusion, almost seeming to really want to help his buddy understand the crap that's going on with his life. However, he allows himself to be instrumental in the biggest Mind Screw the studio pulls on Truman in bringing his "father" back from the grave. He later leads the hunt to capture Truman once he starts escaping. Earlier drafts and deleted scenes emphasized the actor being torn over doing such a thing to a man he had genuinely come to view as his best friend, and in these drafts, he initially redeemed himself by intentionally looking the other way when locating Truman and allowing him to escape.

Big Bad Friend / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural: The Big Bad of Season 6, to whom Crowley, Eve, and Raphael played Disc-One Final Boss, is revealed to be Castiel, who has decided that to defeat Raphael and put Heaven on the right track, anything is acceptable - in this case, taking on a million souls. However, throughout nearly the entire season, he staunchly remains their friend, putting their safety ahead of his plans on multiple occasions and vehemently protecting them from Crowley, who would prefer to kill them. The Winchester boys do their best to stop Castiel throughout the final episodes of the season, while he continues to plead for them to accept him and his reasons for evil. In the final episode of Season 4, Ruby reveals to Sam that she had been collaborating with Lilith the whole time just as Lucifer rises.

Big Bad Friend / int_49a88442	comment	Final Fantasy XIV: Thancred, one of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and the player's first ally if they started off in Ul'dah, was secretly possessed by the game's big bad, Lahabrea, an immortal aetherial being who possesses mortal hosts to bring about the resurrection of his dark god. It's implied that Thancred was under Lahabrea's control since long before the player met him. During Shadowbringers the Ascian Emet-Selch is this to the player character, but unlike his colleague Lahabrea, he spends most of the expansion attempting to cooperate with the Scions, crossing into Lightwarden territory, saving one of their companions, can be spoken to at length to get his unique perspective, and drops some of the biggest twists in the story. Eventually he warms up to the player, confiding that he wishes for nothing more than the restoration of his lost civilization but would be perfectly willing to let go if the people who came about after the loss of that civilization can prove themselves worthy enough in his eyes. Shortly after, he ends his truce with them after they fail his test of whether the Scions would be judged as potential allies. After he is defeated, he accepts his defeat and asks the player character to remember his people. Comes full circle in 5.3, when the soul of Emet-Selch appears to save the player and their party during the final battle against Elidibus. The later patches of Shadowbringers and the following expansion Endwalker expand on this. In the unsundered past, Emet-Selch was friends with fellow Convocation of Fourteen member Azem, whose sundered soul would reincarnate into the player character's Warrior of Light and Ardbert. Since Azem was considered a defector unworthy of having a memory crystal made, Emet-Selch made one in secret and imbued it with his friend's signature incantation to summon allies and set up a plan to make sure it made its way to the player prior to the final confrontation with Elidibus. Endwalker has the player travel to unsundered Etheirys, where they would befriend a past version of Emet-Selch, his other friend Hythlodaeus, and the previous Azem Venat in their quest to learn of the true cause of the Final Days and eventually tell them of the events to come. Upon learning that Hermes' creation Meteion caused it, Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus covers the player and Venat's escape, but not before telling the player to not squander the legacy he leaves them (which mirrors his last words to them in Shadowbringers) before the former two's memories are erased. All of these events would lead to Emet-Selch and the Ascians' quest to restore Etheirys, as well as Venat becoming Hydaelyn.

She celebrates her Faceâ€“Heel Turn by beating him up and stealing his rescued hostage. It was a ruse to make Volgin trust her and Snake wasn't in on it. She only ends up needing to be taken out when Volgin messes things up by actually using one of the nukes she'd brought for him, necessitating her to defect "for real" as Snake is sent in again to kill her. The same goes for Naked Snake as Big Boss with the chronologically later Metal Gear as the commander of the young Solid Snake. The plot point is repeated again for Metal Gear Solid, wherein radio contact Master Miller turns out to have been Dead All Along, with the Master Miller you talked to being Liquid Snake in disguise.

He certainly acts as a friend to the protagonist, which is played up in the Big Damn Movie, but he isn't even a social link in the original game, and while he's the closest thing to a Big Bad in the game, he's really more of an Anti-Villain, having no choice as to whether he destroys the world or not. This is made even more apparent in the female route, where he acts as a social link, and is a romance option.

Big Bad Friend / int_6f734712	comment	This describes Lex Luthor for the first four seasons or so of Smallville, and intermittently afterward. Notable in that this isn't presented as a twist, but as a continuing theme throughout the series — he legitimately likes the protagonists, he just sees their demands that he stop digging up their secrets as a requirement to tell them he's stopped in the interest of courtesy (rather than a moral need to actually stop). He also spends most of his time on the show Slowly Slipping Into Evil, through a combination of childhood trauma, dangerous obsessions, extreme privilege, and his many MANY near-death experiences causing his pre-existing narcissism to skyrocket.

The two became distant due to Roku's duties as the Avatar and Sozin's plans for conquest, and Sozin betrayed him as soon as he had the chance. Notably, however, on his deathbed Sozin took the time to reflect on his actions and realized that he did regret what he had done, only to bitterly note it was far too late for apologies to make things right.

After Celestia's execution, Makoto notes that since the culprit killed his friends, he can't pity her, but acknowledges once thinking of her as a friend, which gets him into pitying her anyway and blaming Monokuma for her Faceâ€“Heel Turn and resulting death.

Big Bad Friend / int_792239e5	comment	In Tales of Symphonia, Mithos is quick to befriend the party once they meet him, and he becomes especially close with Genis. Once Genis finds out that his "friend" isn't just an enemy, but the leader of Cruxis and Big Bad of the game, he reveals that he had his suspicions, but didn't want it to be true, and spends much of the rest of the game struggling with his feelings of betrayal, but thinking of Mithos as a friend on some level.. Kratos is set up as another such case. Initially, the character doesn't seem all that close to anyone in the group, having supposedly joined only for the money (which is actually a lie), but gradually becomes something of a mentor to Lloyd, if fairly cynical. The group takes it hard when they realize Kratos has betrayed them, but late in the game, it turns out that he was Good All Along, and Lloyd forgives Kratos after defeating him in a final duel.

The shock factor was so high that nowadays the phrase "Yasu is the culprit" is something of a meme amongst old fans.

It's especially heartbreaking because the audience has known from the beginning that Light is indeed Kira. Word of God says that he was probably lying. However, Matsuda wasn't — in fact, in Matsuda's case it was arguably worse: Light had been deceiving him for five years straight by the time the finale comes up and he tries to have Matsuda murdered. It's next to no wonder that poor Matsuda snaps massively in the end... and shoots Light several times while screaming and crying.

Big Bad Friend / int_8ee238c9	comment	Persona: This role is played with in Persona 3, with Ryoji Mochizuki. He certainly acts as a friend to the protagonist, which is played up in the Big Damn Movie, but he isn't even a social link in the original game, and while he's the closest thing to a Big Bad in the game, he's really more of an Anti-Villain, having no choice as to whether he destroys the world or not. This is made even more apparent in the female route, where he acts as a social link, and is a romance option. Persona 5: Goro Akechi, one of the characters the Protagonist befriends over the course of the game, turns out to be The Heavy for the bad guys, and the one ultimately responsible for the formation of The Conspiracy. Played with in the case of Royal's final villain, Dr. Takuto Maruki. He comes to befriend all the Phantom Thieves during their counseling sessions with him, but at that point he wasn't a villain; he experienced Big Bad Slippage when the Thieves took out Yaldabaoth. Though even after taking center stage as the villain, he still considers the Thieves his friends and goes out of his way to give them a chance against him.

Zig-zagged with Junko Enoshima, the true Big Bad. You do meet her as a friend (albeit that she dies early on), but that's actually Junko's twin sister Mukuro and you only meet the real Junko in chapter 6... but she then proceeds to reveal that all the students, Junko and Mukuro included, were friends at Hope's Peak before their memories were wiped. Word of God is also that Junko genuinely considered the other students to be her friends, but she's such a messed-up despair nut that she stuck them in the Killing Game specifically because she cared so much about them. Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair: The last case reveals that Hinata and everybody else but Chiaki are the Remnants of Despair, a group of Ultimate Despair that served directly under Junko and are trying to destroy the world, though none of them have memories of that. Chiaki is a subversion, as even though she was the traitor, she was working for the Future Foundation, who was trying to help them. During the aforementioned incident in which she is set up as Nagito's killer, she does everything she can to ensure that she's convicted (and executed) for it, even though she's unable to actually come out and reveal herself as the "traitor".

Big Bad Friend / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Vossler from Final Fantasy XII fights alongside you for a chunk of the game, but sells you out to the Archadian Empire afterwards on the belief that it would be better to surrender to stop the bloodshed instead of continuing a seemingly fruitless rebellion. He's immediately given the Straw Traitor treatment, fights you as a boss later on, and then dies dramatically on an exploding warship. Final Fantasy XIV: Thancred, one of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and the player's first ally if they started off in Ul'dah, was secretly possessed by the game's big bad, Lahabrea, an immortal aetherial being who possesses mortal hosts to bring about the resurrection of his dark god. It's implied that Thancred was under Lahabrea's control since long before the player met him. During Shadowbringers the Ascian Emet-Selch is this to the player character, but unlike his colleague Lahabrea, he spends most of the expansion attempting to cooperate with the Scions, crossing into Lightwarden territory, saving one of their companions, can be spoken to at length to get his unique perspective, and drops some of the biggest twists in the story. Eventually he warms up to the player, confiding that he wishes for nothing more than the restoration of his lost civilization but would be perfectly willing to let go if the people who came about after the loss of that civilization can prove themselves worthy enough in his eyes. Shortly after, he ends his truce with them after they fail his test of whether the Scions would be judged as potential allies. After he is defeated, he accepts his defeat and asks the player character to remember his people. Comes full circle in 5.3, when the soul of Emet-Selch appears to save the player and their party during the final battle against Elidibus. The later patches of Shadowbringers and the following expansion Endwalker expand on this. In the unsundered past, Emet-Selch was friends with fellow Convocation of Fourteen member Azem, whose sundered soul would reincarnate into the player character's Warrior of Light and Ardbert. Since Azem was considered a defector unworthy of having a memory crystal made, Emet-Selch made one in secret and imbued it with his friend's signature incantation to summon allies and set up a plan to make sure it made its way to the player prior to the final confrontation with Elidibus. Endwalker has the player travel to unsundered Etheirys, where they would befriend a past version of Emet-Selch, his other friend Hythlodaeus, and the previous Azem Venat in their quest to learn of the true cause of the Final Days and eventually tell them of the events to come. Upon learning that Hermes' creation Meteion caused it, Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus covers the player and Venat's escape, but not before telling the player to not squander the legacy he leaves them (which mirrors his last words to them in Shadowbringers) before the former two's memories are erased. All of these events would lead to Emet-Selch and the Ascians' quest to restore Etheirys, as well as Venat becoming Hydaelyn. Each of the Sworn Six of Paladia from Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is directly linked to the party in some way, but none more so than Veritas of the Dark, who is heavily hinted to be Sir Raegan, Rain's father and Lasswell's adoptive father.

It was already confirmed in Chapter 340 of the manga that they knew each other (as fans had already suspected), but it wasn't until Fairy Tail Zero began that we find out how they knew each other; Mavis recognized his Ankhseram Black Magic and called it by name, and showed Zeref the first bit of genuine kindness he'd experienced in centuries, if not ever, to the point where Zeref agreed to teach Fairy Tail's founding members the magic they needed to defeat Blue Skull, making him indirectly responsible for Fairy Tail's very existence as a magic guild. Zeref later called this his 'most precious memory.' Even in the present, Mavis still clearly feels bad for the guy, but acknowledges him as the grave threat that he is. Even more tragically, they fell in love with one another after they realized they were both immortal, but Zeref's Curse killed her after their first and only kiss, and it's heavily implied Zeref's current desire to obtain Lumen Histoire, Mavis's body trapped in crystal, is motivated partially out of this love.

He gets a double-dose of surprise when he assumes it's a scam to use the man to find the Fountain Of Youth, and she explains she actually is loyal to him and that she actually is his biological daughter.

Rameses is even willing to do everything in his power to make Moses' accidental murder of an Egyptian forgotten, but Moses flees all the same. Fast forward several years, and Moses returns to Egypt to free the slaves, and Rameses is now Pharaoh. Over the course of the Ten Plagues, their friendship evaporates as Moses tries to get Rameses to let the Hebrew people go, but Rameses, caught up in his "Well Done, Son" Guy raising about not being the weak link, refuses, leading to worse and worse plagues.

Big Bad Friend / int_c4282b71	comment	The entire plot of the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic Inner Demons revolves around a prophecy that Twilight Sparkle will be consumed by her inner darkness and become Equestria's Evil Overlord. This happens within a matter of chapters, and the rest of the story is dedicated to her trying to kill the rest of the Mane 6, and them trying to fight and/or redeem her (until the climax, there's a bit of debate among them). As another Twilight Sparkle-related example, Pages Of Harmony, Twilight is driven by a desire to extract the Elements from her friends by capturing and murdering them in various ways specific to their Elements. Though much like Light in Death Note, she appears to believe she's doing it for the greater good, and her friends try to get through to her and get her to come to her senses. She doesn't listen. Another Twilight Sparkle-related example (these are popular, aren't they?). Death Note Equestria has her taking on the role of Light as Kira. She's so determined to defeat L and enforce her vision of justice on the world that she even goes so far as to engineer Rarity and Pinkie's death as part of her cover; she does have a few Villainous BSoD moments along the way, but that hasn't stopped her so far.

This is especially prevalent in the Dutch series where at least three seasons (13, 17, and 18) have had one of the final four contestants be absolutely gobsmacked when they learn in the finale that their best friend who they trusted 100% was the Mole who had been playing them all along.

Gaheris actually won the fight originally, but got frozen in time like Hunt did in the pilot. He eventually gets rescued by Beka and company, just like in the pilot. In fact, he lives through much of the series plot, though it plays out far differently. He tries to rebuild the Commonwealth to make up for the fact that his people slaughtered everything that moved after the Andromeda was lost, and were ultimately nowhere near the Warrior Poets he had thought. Tyr is killed by Rhade for betrayal, Perseid gets annihilated, and the universe is about to be ripped to shreds when Trance tells him there's another chance to fix it all. Rhade eventually agrees, uses said universe shredding phenomena to travel back in time and kill his previous self moments before he begins his mutiny, takes his uniform, and throws the fight with Dylan Hunt at the beginning of the pilot episode. Chronologically, the main series then follows. Does anyone have anything for a headache?

Then things start going horribly wrong, and it's hinted right from the start that Monika has some part in it. This continues to become more clear, although for a long time you can do nothing but watch in incomprehension, because that really doesn't explain what's going on. It turns out she has gone quite mad, for extraordinary reasons, and is only maintaining her (former?) pleasant persona as a role to hide it... but she's still your friend, if not anybody else's, because all she cares about is getting to be with you, no matter what she has to do to others.

Though something of a parody, because his friends know he's not to be trusted—-it's just that somehow, he usually winds up convincing one or more of them to believe him anyway, just to stab them in the back. Further parodied/lampshaded in the Wal-Mart episode, where Kyle Broflovski keeps pointing this out, though Cartman still seems to think they all believe him.

Gavin then spends seven years pretending to be Phoenixâ€™s dearest friend, and the only person who objected to their punishment until Phoenix finally takes them down. In Investigations, Shi-Long Lang is shocked to discover that Byrne Faraday's killer and a key member of the smuggling ring is his assistant Shih-na. Calisto Yew serves as one to Byrne Faraday and Tyrell Badd, her accomplices in the Yatagarasu, when she betrays and kills Byrne, due to being The Mole for the smuggling ring the Yatagarasu is fighting. Also those last two? They're the same person. "Shih-na" breaks down into one of Yew's trademark laughing fits (down to the poses) and admits as much when caught. She states that "Calisto Yew" never existed, implying that the identity was created whole cloth to aid the ring and it's left ambigious as to how much of Shih-na was real and how much was an act. Her real name is also never revealed. The Investigations sequel has Simon Keyes, who poses as an innocuous friend to the party, even fooling Edgeworth before he figures out that Simon is the mastermind behind the gameâ€™s events. Implied by Apollo in the last case of Dual Destinies, when he states that Prosecutor Blackquill seems torn after The Reveal of Bobby Fulbright's true identity, as the two of them were partners. The previous cases also give the feeling that there was a strong, if unusual, friendship between them. Through cases 4 and 5 of Dual Destinies, Apollo wonders if his friend and co-worker Athena Cykes has killed his childhood friend Clay Terran. His lead is that he senses with his Hyper-Awareness that Athena is hiding something from him, which is rare for her. Subverted: the killer was an enemy to Athena as well and she was just another victim of the whole ordeal as she's framed for Clay's murder (and Athena's mother's murder too). Downplayed by The Great Ace Attorney, where it's not the Big Bad himself, but the final prosecutor who is Ryunosuke's friend Kazuma, and remains cordial and friendly to Ryunosuke even as he loses himself to Revenge Before Reason and tries to get an innocent man convicted of the Big Bad's crimes. Thankfully, Ryunosuke is able to smack sense into him before the verdict can be handed down.

She even helped him by letting him take refuge at her dad's house when Bee's cult was trying to kill him. The sequel is set two years later and does a complete 180Âº by suddenly making Melanie the cult's new leader, who now seeks to kill Cole herself.

Big Bad Friend / int_ffb43795	comment	Cobra Kai: While Hawk is mainly The Heavy for the Cobra Kai students in Season 2 (the honor of the Big Bad goes to John Kreese), he's still is one to Demetri given that Hawk has given in to his aggression way too far to the point where he sees Demetri and his nerdy interests as a burden to his "cool, tough" persona. Robby Keene becomes this to the Miyagi-Dos as The Heavy for the Cobra Kai students in Season 4 (Kreese and Silver is the season's Big Bad Duumvirate), become the dojo's top student and teaching Miyagi-Do moves to their advantage. He serves as the Final Boss for Miyagi-Do's Eli/Hawk en route to the All-Valley championship. Terry Silver becomes this to John Kreese in Season 5, after the Season 4 finale has the former betraying the latter to the police and seize Cobra Kai for himself. While both are antagonists no question, Silver is obviously the bigger threat, to the point where the Miyagi-Fangs (particularly Daniel and Johnny) ally with Kreese to stop Silver from spreading his "Way of the Fist" influence to global levels. Kenny Payne becomes this to Robby Keene as The Heavy for the Cobra Kai students in Season 5 (the honor of the Big Bad goes to Terry Silver) after he becomes Cobra Kai's top male student in the wake of Robby's defection, something that Kenny himself feels betrayed by.
