Conflict Ball	comment	A character introduces or provokes conflict for reasons which are weak or which contradict previous characterization. For example, why is Alice — The Lancer — arguing with Bob — The Big Guy — about his plan to infiltrate the enemy base? Alice actually suggested similar plans before. In fact, it's her favorite kind of plan, so why is she disagreeing with Bob now? She never says. Alice's behavior is entirely plot mandated: now she can go off on her own, screw up, get captured and need rescue, and then learn a valuable lesson about teamwork. For added annoyance, Alice might forget all about it just in time to be handed the Conflict Ball again. Conflict is the driving force of a story. Unfortunately, not all writers are good at pulling it off. So we often get conflict out of nowhere or conflict based on trite or contrived reasons, as if the characters had simply picked up a ball (hence the trope name). Much like Poor Communication Kills, this is done to keep the plot moving, or at the least to steer it along to where the author wants it to go. This trope almost always involves a character suddenly gaining a Hair-Trigger Temper momentarily. This temper comes out of nowhere and more often than not, isn't one of the character's personality traits, so they come across as an instigator who wants to start a fight. The Load, the Ineffectual Loner, and Commander Contrarian often carry this Ball, being belligerent and contrary for no apparent reason, or to Overcome Their Differences with the leader. Rarely a Justified Trope, unless in a caustic satire, parody or a satirical parody, or in cases where Alice acting out of character is itself a significant plot point, raising suspicion that Alice is actually Not Herself or whatever. When there is some actual effect or force compelling the characters to fight, that's a Hate Plague. Compare Rule of Drama, Idiot Ball, Apple of Discord, Out-of-Character Moment and Let's You and Him Fight. See also Designated Hero, The Troublemaker. Now since this trope involves contrivance, this is not technically possible in real life. Examples

Conflict Ball / int_1305c32	comment	Kamen Rider Fourze: Yuki Jojima is normally an outer space Otaku who, despite being quite genki, is knowledgeable enough about space to impress even the school principal, himself a former astronaut. This all goes out the window in the Aquarius arc, where she suddenly becomes a screeching, annoying lunatic who has to pray to "rocket gods" in order to pass a basic intelligence test, seemingly just to make her exactly the kind of person Erin Suda despises. It's made even more blatant since Erin would probably get along with "normal Yuki" just fine — as illustrated at the end of the arc, where they actually do become friends after the villains mind-wipe Erin following her defeat at the hands of Fourze.

Conflict Ball / int_136469af	comment	James Corvidae, in Pact, has using this as his explicit superpower. A spirit who is speculated to have been created by the First Nations as vengeance against intruding Europeans, he has the ability to magically reassign the connections between people and objects — a treasured heirloom will somehow find its way, quite legally and (on the surface) fairly, into the hand of another (often surprised) party... while still being much sought after by the original owner. Or a lover will suddenly break it off to go be with someone else for no apparent reason for those involved in the relationships. In the story, he convinces a fire elemental belonging to a group of elementalists to take up shop in the skywriting equipment of one of their allies, leading to conflict over who gets to keep the equipment and the elemental.

After the Companions themselves have pressured the Heraldic Circle into letting her lead a team to find mages to defend Valdemar, she suddenly digs in her heels and decides she wants to go off the map entirely, for no other reason except a sense that things have been 'too easy.' While her chosen path does get Valdemar new magical allies, there was no apparent reason for her to rebel against something which had been, up until then, exactly what she wanted.

Tails suddenly becomes unfriendly to his otherwise big brother, however, over a whole different reason: he holds a grudge against Sonic for stealing his Love Interest despite Fiona Fox always treating him like dirt and despite being on very friendly terms with him on Antoine's wedding, only a few episodes prior. Prior to Ian joining there was Sally's infamous yelling at Sonic for calling off their wedding to keep his active role in the Freedom Fighters. Problem #1: This isn't Sonic's first attempt to ditch a wedding, and back then it was treated as a joke. Problem #2: Sally pulling her happiness over her subjects and angsting over it are huge out of character moments. Problem #3: There's no real consequences following the slap then heightened tension of their romance, since apparently they soon go back to the healthy boss-subordinate relationship afterward.

They have literally no reason to fight, since (aside from his massive ego) Ranma should love an opportunity to remove one unwanted love interest, and Mousse should be happy to have at least one ally who will want to see Shampoo end up with Mousse. But that would be too easy, so instead Mousse is too blind to see the reality, and Ranma just responds as usual to someone attacking him.

Conflict Ball / int_1b71921c	comment	Emily McArthur of Misfile does this a lot. A straighter example would be the constant, immature sparring between Emily and Missi. While Emily has generally gotten better at this and only retorts back when provoked, Missi seems to take a perverse delight in annoying her. The only reason for this, it seems, would be so that the two can clash over their feelings for Ash. Even more irritating, though, is Missi's refusal to accept that Ash isn't her girlfriend anymore. It's makes one wonder whether Chris only created her to exacerbate personal drama in the lives of the two protagonists. When you consider that Ash and Emily are steadily becoming less hostile towards Rumisiel over time - they aren't friendly with him, but they seem to trust him more than they did at the start - this theory isn't without justification.

When Raphtalia was taken hostage by the other heroes and the royalty, under the assumption she is controlled by the Shield Hero, Motoyasu challenges him to duel if he wants her back. Initially, Naofumi gained the upper hand, but Malty cheated behind his back, which lead to his defeat in hands of Motoyasu. Afterwards, in a fit of grief, he hallucinates her betraying him the same way Malty did and walking out on him. This caused him to activate the Rage Shield, which clouds his mind and cause him to lose the ability to be reasoned with. When Raphtalia ditches him and calls out on his crap, she walks up to Naofumi who, despite treating her well earlier, refuses to listen to her explanation she believes in him innocence and angrily ignores her, whining that nobody believes in him at all, and blaming his shield for all his misfortunes. This stops when Raphtalia persists and brings him back to his senses.

It's clear from the start that he's just there to avenge his mother, so the Big Bad Yhwach declares him successor to the throne to keep him on a short leash from the harsh scrutiny of his subordinates. Without any real plan to fight Yhwach for most of the arc (he eventually decides on collapsing a castle that wasn't created until well over halfway into the arc, and that was sabotaged before it went anywhere), Uryu picks a fight with his friends twice just to force a subplot over bringing him out of his supposed Faceâ€“Heel Turn.

Conflict Ball / int_227431b6	comment	In the Runaways arc "Homeschooling", Victor, in a stupid attempt to impress Nico, causes an accident that kills Old Lace and causes Klara to lose control of her powers, burying the Runaways' house in vines. Naturally, Chase is pissed off, but because nobody realizes that the accident was Victor's fault, he blames Klara. Inexplicably, Victor takes his side in the ensuing debate about what to do to bring Klara's powers under control, going so far as to suggest that they "take the kid gloves off" (which presumably means "beat the crap out of her until she retracts the vines".) It's inexplicable because 1) There's no indication that he's aware that he caused the accident, and thus he has no real incentive to support scapegoating her, and 2) Assuming that he still wants Nico to take him back, advocating the beating of a badly-traumatized eleven-year-old girl is probably not going to win him any points.

Conflict Ball / int_27ff9607	comment	Milly, Molly. Some of the Feud Episode's can be this. In the episode where they first met, "Monday", they have several arguments over minor things like whether apples or bananas are better for no apparent reason. Exaggerated in one instance when, just because both of them drew their cat, they start arguing over who had a cat the longest and whose cat is nicer. In "Cubby House", the girls argue over what game they should play in their cubby house. While it's not out of character for them to be a bit sore at each other and even try to give up their idea, they not only do that but they decide not to be friends anymore, which is going a bit far for them. In "Sooty", Molly becomes jealous of Milly because Chloe, a snooty but well-meaning girl in their class, invited her to her birthday party but not Molly (because her horse Prince was at the party and at that point in the series, Molly was still afraid of horses). When Milly phones from the party and offers to come over to help care for an injured cat that Molly is looking after, one would expect Molly to be grateful as she's finally getting attention. Instead, she says angrily, "No thanks, Milly, I can look after Sooty by! My! Self!"

The X-Men want Hope to stay on Earth so that she can repopulate the mutant race. Instead of Cap suggesting Cyclops to have Hope meet the Phoenix in space, which would lower the risk, Cap shows up on Utopia and demands that Cyclops hand over his granddaughter. Cyclops then blasts Cap, Cap then calls in back up, Cyclops does the same, Hope runs away, and loads and loads of fighting ensues. The rest of the plot consists of the Avengers antagonizing the X-Men who possess the Phoenix, which was split thanks to Iron Man.

Brian's revolutionary group tries to kidnap Pontius Pilate's wife to coerce the Romans into withdrawing from Judea, only to run into a second revolutionary group with the same plan after they break into the palace. Despite Brian's efforts to get them to remember that the real enemy here is the Romans, they quickly come to blows over which group gets to fight the Romans, and by the time the Romans even realize that there were any revolutionaries in the palace, all of them except for Brian had killed each other. Emphasized by the fact that the revolutionary groups' salutes are all varieties of punching themselves in the head.

All-Stars: In the season finale, it was specifically invoked by Chris. After Mal's defeat, things started to get all sweet and happy (not helped by the fact that Heather and Alejandro finally started dating off-screen prior to the episode). The distinct lack of drama, most of all from the two contestants who caused the most drama over the course of the series, drove him absolutely nuts, and he made it a free-for-all to make everyone, especially the aforementioned newly-made-couple, just stop.

Conflict Ball / int_494e23	comment	In Nyaruko: Crawling with Love!, the trio of Nyarko, Cuuko, and Hasta are always being clingy and disruptive, to the annoyance of Mahiro. However, they take it even further in episode 11 of the second TV series, when Mahiro is asked by his mother to babysit a young alien girl named Guthatan. While he does his best to look after the child, the other three are acting even worse than normal, with Cuuko constantly harassing Mahiro to make her breakfast while Hasta gets extremely jealous of how much attention Guthatan is getting. Nyarko gets it even worse, acting even more jealous than Hasta and at one point jumping to the conclusion that Mahiro had sex with Guthatan. While the conflict is a plot point, only one small element (Guthatan getting a cut on her forehead during a battle where Nyarko et al. went overboard) is explained; the rest of it comes off as if the trio just woke up that morning and decided to be as selfish and annoying as possible. And this isn't even mentioning the things they did earlier, like loudly playing video games in Mahiro's room while he was trying to sleep.

Conflict Ball / int_4be3aedd	comment	In Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Tommy and Jason suddenly stopped being able to work as a team for one episode, implying that they NEVER were able to work well together, so they could learn a valuable lesson of teamwork. It didn't use the Ineffectual Loner path, but instead used a new variant of All Your Powers Combined for the two of them to beat a monster without their mecha. Another version of this happens several years down the line in Power Rangers S.P.D., when after learning to work together as a team, some episode plot would revolve around the teammates disliking each other. This reached a new high in the SWAT two-parter when the bickering that occurred during the first part of the episode was pretty much unprecedented, even considering the fact that three of the Rangers were openly enemies of the other two in the beginning of the series brought together by an Enemy Mine situation. Part of Power Rangers' problem is that a lot of these incidents is due to a case of converting Super Sentai to Power Rangers. For instance, in MMPR, Tommy and Jason were friends after Tommy joined the team, yet in Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, their counterparts, Burai and Geki respectively, were brothers who had a falling out. Thus, a plot that worked for the Super Sentai version feels like this for Power Rangers.

Morgana promptly abandons the Thieves and keeps taking an untrained Haru into the Palace and Mementos despite this being incredibly risky to her as she hasn't formed a Persona yet; the implication seems to be that he's doing it only to soothe his wounded pride over becoming less useful to the Thieves as they grow in power and experience.

Conflict Ball / int_5b686581	comment	Sonic Heroes really suffers from this. Each of the four teams in the game will fight two of the other three teams over the course of their story - for rather flimsy reasons. Sonic fights Amy and escapes to get her to stop pestering him about marriage when he has some world-saving to do (Big and Cream do have reason to believe he's responsible for kidnapping their friends though). Rouge assumes for NO reason that the Chaotix must be after Eggman's treasure and the Chaotix assume from how aggressive she's being that Team Dark must be working against their client with Eggman (though in fairness, Shadow and Rouge did work with Eggman before, and Omega is an Eggman robot). The Chaotix try to take Cream's Chao Cheese because their client gave them a mission to collect 10 Chao...a task they already accomplished, which causes Team Amy to believe they might be responsible for kidnapping Cheese's friend Chocola and they're a bunch of bullying jerks, to which Vector is incensed at and Charmy just says "screw it, let's fight". The Team Sonic vs. Team Dark battle is even worse - Sonic's response to seeing someone who he thought died saving the world is to call him "stubborn and full of surprises", and it seems the reason the battle is being fought is because Team Dark wants to get to Eggman before anyone else for their selfish reasons, Team Sonic won't be having that, and Sonic and Shadow just want a good ol' throwdown regardless.note Espio of Team Chaotix does in fact open the fight with Team Rose by saying there must be a misunderstanding, and yet insists on fighting anyway because they're in too deep by this point.

After convincing the boy's biological parents and grandfather that the less troublesome route involves letting the boy back to the elite's enclave and talking to their employer about the situation, Hugo and Julia change their mind about bringing Sergio back to the enclave and have him spend the night in their appartment, this time without any sort of permission. All that ends up accomplishing is making Hugo and Julia's relationship with the minister's wife more difficult and getting them fired for just long enough to have trouble getting back into their workplace to talk to the minister.

Characters on all sides seems to have a death-grip on the conflict ball and will start fights the moment their superiors turns their backs, if not said superiors are in on it that is, and often in complete disregard for basic sanity and survival instincts. A lot of the conflicts within the series could have been avoided if not everyone was so damn tigger happy all the time. While Gundam as a whole can suffer from this trope, at times seeming like there is some kind of "one fight per episode" mandate going on, Turn A still stands out due to how often conflict just seems to happen for no reason, especially in such a laid back setting.

This is despite the fact that both are trusted allies of Leia, both are responsible for significant victories for the Resistance, and that Poe actually thought her plan was brilliant once Leia told him: they'd have worked together great if Holdo hadn't gone out of her way to treat him like garbage, made worse by how Holdo ends up admitting that she likes Poe after her idiocy and his mutiny ends up getting most of them killed and severely cripples the Resistance.

The four main characters (then four teams of two in the sequel) fight each other because they want to be the one to find Eggman first as opposed to working together to find him. Just about every character meeting consists of one character telling the other, "Get out of my way! Eggman is mine!"; and the other character replies with, "No! He's mine!", thus the fight begins. Another reason for characters fighting each other is due to characters insulting one another for no apparent reason. For instance, in the second game, Knuckles calls Silver crazy for thinking that Chao can save the world, which angers Silver and the two engage in battle.

The rationale for Batman disliking Green Lantern was initially because Batman did not trust Hal after he was possessed by Parallax. Green Lantern: Rebirth stated that they never liked each other from the start, with John Stewart claiming that it was because Batman's main schtick is instilling fear, and Hal, having the ability to "overcome great fear", never "bought what he was selling". But that doesn't explain why Batman doesn't dislike Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, or any number of other superheroes who also don't seem to be afraid of him. Justice League (2011) seems to suggest that Batman doesn't like Green Lantern because he's a Jerk with a Heart of Gold.

Yet she is constantly trying to bust them for no apparent reason beyond sibling upmanship (pointless as they genuinely look up to her) and winning her mom's approval. Later on even she has pointed out that the urge is irrational, but often tries (and usually fails) to resist the "urge to bust" like it's an odd G-Rated Drug addiction. Sometimes, admittedly, the things the boys are doing would be dangerous if they were even a smidgen less competent (showcased in "Phineas and Ferb get Busted" where one misplaced bolt led to most of the house being wrecked), and sometimes she does seem to be in it more because she thinks what they're doing is dangerous (like the all-terrain vehicle bit) or disruptive (driving cattle through downtown). A near textbook case occurs in the movie. Why does Phineas flip out at Perry despite going against his character (and the entire genre, at that)? Because it's the movie, and movies need conflict. There is a ''slight'' disagreement on this. Remember, this was when Phineas learns that Perry was a secret agent, and mad that he never told his family, so it is pretty justified.

This happens for reasons ranging from justified fear of the Hero's Evil Predecessor to needing to fight because There Can Be Only One to no particular reason at all. The trend became less endemic beginning with Kamen Rider Double, although it still crops up sometimes. Kamen Rider Fourze: Yuki Jojima is normally an outer space Otaku who, despite being quite genki, is knowledgeable enough about space to impress even the school principal, himself a former astronaut. This all goes out the window in the Aquarius arc, where she suddenly becomes a screeching, annoying lunatic who has to pray to "rocket gods" in order to pass a basic intelligence test, seemingly just to make her exactly the kind of person Erin Suda despises. It's made even more blatant since Erin would probably get along with "normal Yuki" just fine — as illustrated at the end of the arc, where they actually do become friends after the villains mind-wipe Erin following her defeat at the hands of Fourze. A massive example of this happens in the movie Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai, where the old-school Kamen Riders abruptly show up and start attacking their modern successors while declaring that they're failures who have no right to call themselves Kamen Riders, not even bothering to explain anything beyond that. We eventually find out that the Heisei Riders' attachments to their dead friends are empowering Badan (here recast as an Calvalry Of The Dead), but the Showa Riders don't explain this until after Badan is defeated, and they still insist on fighting the Heisei Riders even afterwards. Notably, the film's treatment of the Showa Riders bothered Hiroshi Fujioka (star of the original Kamen Rider) so much that he co-wrote another movie in which his character is back to being a noble hero who has plenty of respect for those who followed in his footsteps. Kamen Rider Zero-One: The final villain, Azu, is a total noncombatant and can only advance her plans by leveraging this trope. Through a combination of Horobi's refusal to take culpability for how his actions as a terrorist have affected human-HumaGear relations and Aruto's excessive dependence on Izu, she's able to turn Aruto into a Fallen Hero and nearly stir up a robot revolution that Azu specifically intends to use in order to get both sides to accept her offers of The Power of Hate so they can slaughter each other. Kamen Rider Saber: The trope is again deliberately invoked, this time during the middle of the show when the title character is branded a traitor to the Sword of Logos in order to turn everyone else against him. Despite the operative declaring Touma to be a traitor being Obviously Evil, the other knights are too loyal to the organization to disobey until they clash swords with Touma at least a few times and realize that something's up. Kamen Rider Revice: The final arc sees George go off the deep end because of his unresolved personal traumas coming to a head, leading him to become the villainous Kamen Rider Juuga in an effort to kill all of the other Riders. The other Riders offer to give up their belts instead of fighting him, but George refuses because his motives are more about lashing out than any rational goals. Kamen Rider Geats: The trope is deliberately invoked when the Immoral Reality Show the series is built around gets a new Game Master to replace the first, and he proves to be a Pointy-Haired Boss whose ideas to make the show more exciting for the audience all center around producing as much inter-party tension as possible. Among other changes, he introduces a new saboteur role that exists purely to make the Riders distrust and bicker with one another.

A Mega Event goes off in which one of your citizens assassinates the head of the Drengin Empire, plunging you into war! Which drags the Drengin's allies the Drath Legion into it, and thanks to their racial ability they convince the Yor to attack you too! But then the Altarians step in on your behalf, and use their racial ability to have the Iconians help out too, but that serves as the last straw for the Korx who team up with the Thalans...

Knuckles attacks Sonic and Tails because Eggman vaguely suggested that Sonic is after the Master Emerald shards (for no apparent reason), and after seeing Sonic and Tails carrying a Chaos Emerald (apparently the Master of the Emeralds can't tell the difference) he decides to start a fight with them without even bothering to explain why or ask why they might have an Emerald shard.

I've dated girls with dark hair and dark eyes". This is completely ignoring that the love of Zack's life was brunette and that he dated girls of many ethnicities in high school, including their black friend Lisa.

Conflict Ball / int_90f42a9b	comment	In The Wheel of Time, it is often averted or played straight, depending upon your point of view. Despite the obvious rise and return of the Dark One, the many factions in the world bicker and fight each other rather than teaming up. Could be viewed as an aversion, as the entire series seems to be a response to classic fantasy series like LOTR, where political and philosophical differences are just too great to easily set everything aside and band together against the approaching evil. However, a straight example of this trope is Egwene's opposition to Rand's plan to destroy the remaining seals. Although it's a curious plan that's a bit outside the box, it never shows her even considering why Rand wants to do it or to try communicating with him to discuss the matter. She just immediately dismisses it as a horrible idea and sets about trying to turn everyone against him, all for the sake of conflict. This was finally (and thankfully!) averted and eventually deliberately invoked (in-universe) towards the end of the series with Rand sending Perrin on mission and hiding it by publicly getting into a petty argument with him and concealing the fact that he was Elayne's children's father by publicly avoiding her.

The first is in Brazil where Ken meets Laura. He politely tells her about a MacGuffin in her possession that he needs. For no reason at all, Laura believes that he was trying to steal it from her brother Sean and wants to beat Ken into a pulp. Later, Dhalsim travels to New York to speak with Alex about another MacGuffin. Dhalsim is also very polite, but Alex jumps to conclusions, accuses him of being a mugger with no proof, then attacks him.

Conflict Ball / int_946f58c1	comment	All Grown Up! is full of these, compared to the original series. In Rugrats, the babies almost always got along (with the exception of certain episodes), seeing as how they often had to band together to put up with Angelica. Even Phil and Lil's occasional sibling rivalry moments (in the midst of plot) were Played for Laughs. However, The Rugrats Movie would be the first to show friction between the babies as the colicky Baby Dil would come into the world, combined with a series of events that would leave them stranded in the woods. When things get intense enough, Phil and Lil put all the blame on Tommy. However, as the cast got older, Angelica would decide to mingle with the cool clique and pre-teen angst would catch up to the former babies, putting them at each other's throats each episode. Whenever some dilemma would befall the gang, Tommy would be made the designated scapegoat, with Kimi being the worst offender and Phil and Lil about as loyal as two housecats during a burglary. In fact each of the 'Rats would have their own one-on-one disputes: Tommy vs. Chuckie - Tommy and Chuckie's friendship would be tested on separate occasions, up to the point where Chuckie would suspect Tommy of liking his sister and go into big brother mode. While the original Kimi adored her new step-brother, as the two got older, Kimi would develop a snarky attitude and become so wrapped up in her own interests that she disregards how Chuckie (or anyone else) feels, or would often force / blackmail him to support her ideas. Chuckie on the other hand simply turns the other cheek and goes out his way for her best interest, without receiving too many thanks, let alone apologies. The one time he did fight back against Kimi was when she started a petition to ban cellphones and she roped Chuckie into campaigning on her behalf even though Chuckie didn't care either way. And even then, he only did so because Angelica got in his ear (she was running a counter petition to keep cellphones, but no one would sign because, well, it was Angelica running it. note Even those in favor of keeping cellphones figured that they'd win out as long as they didn't sign either petition . She thought that the more likeable Chuckie would be better suited to campaign for her cause.) Phil vs. Lil - As the twins got older, their sibling rivalry would become worse, where Lil would become gender-conscious and see Phil as an immature Gasshole. Because of this, Lil would move into her own room, get into a gender dispute with Phil on their birthday, and deprive him of a romance with one of her soccer friends.

Conflict Ball / int_9a7088bc	comment	Star Trek: The Original Series Season 3 had a habit of amplifying character traits until they became this trope. Captain Kirk has a reputation for being a ladies' man. But would he get in a fight over a woman with the only person who can give him the cure for a plague that's about to kill the entire crew of the Enterprise? Apparently so, in "Requiem for Methuselah". Spock has a tendency to have an arrogant attitude towards the human crew members. However, he goes way overboard in "That Which Survives", constantly badgering and sniping at the other crew members, including repeatedly harassing Scotty as he scrambles to prevent the ship from blowing up with seconds on the clock. Most illogical! Bones has a history of engaging in light-hearted banter with Spock, and often disagrees with his decisions. But would he, in a crisis situation, keep getting right in front of Spock's face, accusing his efforts to try to save Kirk of putting the entire ship at risk, and then, once Spock finally gives up on the rescue attempt and focuses on getting the ship out of danger like Bones wanted, getting all up in Spock's face again, going so far as to accuse Spock of deliberately wanting Kirk dead so that he could steal his command position, and being incredibly cruel and accusatory the entire time? "The Tholian Web" says yes! Admittedly, the space the ship was trapped in at the moment had shown the ability to make people go nuts (Chekov goes wild and attacks his fellow bridge officers in an earlier scene).

Conflict Ball / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: Usopp is adamant about not abandoning the Going Merry, despite admitting that he knew it couldn't be fixed, because it was a present from his sick friend, a reminder of his hometown, and he knew it was sentient. Luffy can't keep sailing with a doomed ship, but he is quite undiplomatic about his decision to let it go, going out of his way to avoid admitting that he himself had been unwilling to accept that the ship was doomed. Luffy even silences Nami when she tries to explain his point of view to Usopp, which makes it easier for Usopp to perceive Luffy as being heartless. Another case is Luffy's fight with Zoro in Whiskey Peak. The people there were actually assassins who intended to take the Straw Hats' heads after they drunk themselves into a stupor partying, but Zoro had enough restraint to keep himself sober and defeat them. Luffy, who would otherwise trust his True Companions through thick and thin, refused to listen to his earliest crewmate Zoro's explanation for what was going on, and relentlessly attacked him with explicit intent for murder. The fight is at least put in a comedic light, particularly their Offhand Backhand of Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine, and slapstick from Nami ultimately stopping them. Luffy and Jimbei briefly grab the ball in the Fishman Island arc when the latter insists that the former stay out of the upcoming fight against Hody so the civilians don't just see "a human beating down a Fishman for trying to stand up against them"... except the Fishman in question is the Arc Villain who is threatening to kill the King and drive out everyone who won't acquiesce to his crusade against humanity, and in the same public speech directly picked a fight with Luffy using the lives of some captured crew members. Anyone who'd be confused about Luffy's motives for fighting Hody afterwards would have to be brainless, yet Jimbei is so stubborn about this that he resorts to violence to stop Luffy from leaving. Their onlooking friends are suitably confused as to why a fight is starting.

Conflict Ball / int_a6543322	comment	Used as a joke in some of the Touhou Project games, especially fighting games. Often the fights are for improbable, ridiculous reasons. However, it's also clear that, ultimately, these people just like beating the crap out of each other! Even funnier in that it usually works. The logic is more or less "There is a problem. The problem was probably caused by someone. Keep beating people up until you happen to beat up the one causing the problem and they can no longer cause the problem" The plot and background of Touhou Yumejikuu ~ Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream. (Dimensional) Dream primarily circles this trope and this trope alone. The antagonists, Yumemi and her assistant Chiyuri, set up a sort of battle royale. The winner would get to make any wish that they wanted, and the pair of scientists would do their best to make it true. This, however, was just a guise for them to attempt to capture somebody as a research subject to prove that magic existed, as part of their proposed "Grand Unified Theory". The 8 protagonists decide to go along with it, not knowing the intentions of Yumemi and Chiyuri. On a more dramatic note, the conflict ball is Inherent in the System. The setting's youkai are defined as forces that conflict with mankind and their existence depend on humans fearing them. And since the setting itself is a Fantastic Nature Reserve designed to keep youkai from going extinct via Puff of Logic, youkai sometimes fill their fear quota by causing dreadful incidents for no greater reason than "well, I'm a youkai," and the resident humans who are in on the Masquerade sometimes beat up youkai for no greater reason than "well, she's a youkai," in order to fill the conflict quota.

Notably, the film's treatment of the Showa Riders bothered Hiroshi Fujioka (star of the original Kamen Rider) so much that he co-wrote another movie in which his character is back to being a noble hero who has plenty of respect for those who followed in his footsteps.

Conflict Ball / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: This has been a criticism of Sansa Stark's growing resentment of her half-brother actually cousin Jon Snow in season 6 and 7. As the north rallies around Jon, Sansa begins to feel slighted as she believes rule of the North should be her inheritance, not Jon's. While this is an understandable feeling, it causes her to act in incredibly stupid ways that are harmful not just to Jon, but to Sansa herself -for instance, denying Jon knowledge of critical reinforcements from the Vale while he's planning the battle against Ramsay Bolton, who held Sansa captive for months and repeatedly raped her, and plans to do so again if he defeats Jon's army. It also requires her to listen to Manipulative Bastard Littlefinger, whom Sansa has outright acknowledged has ulterior motives in helping her and can't be trusted, over her own brother who has never shown himself to have anything other than her best interests at heart. This comes to a head in Season 8, where she relentlessly keeps antagonizing the one person who's coming to Winterfell's aid against the approaching forces of evil.

Conflict Ball / int_b3309b69	comment	Puyo Puyo: While several games try to provide at least a flimsy reason for the characters choosing to fight, many conflicts are still caused by one of the protagonists grabbing the Jerkass Ball or simply feeling the need to get in the way. Most blatant in Arle's route in 20th, where Witch flat out says she has no reason to fight Arle, she just feels like blocking the road and challenging whoever comes around. This is lampshaded by Schezo.

Conflict Ball / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog enjoys doing this. Sonic Adventure does this with Sonic vs. Knuckles/Tails vs. Knuckles. Knuckles attacks Sonic and Tails because Eggman vaguely suggested that Sonic is after the Master Emerald shards (for no apparent reason), and after seeing Sonic and Tails carrying a Chaos Emerald (apparently the Master of the Emeralds can't tell the difference) he decides to start a fight with them without even bothering to explain why or ask why they might have an Emerald shard. Sonic Heroes really suffers from this. Each of the four teams in the game will fight two of the other three teams over the course of their story - for rather flimsy reasons. Sonic fights Amy and escapes to get her to stop pestering him about marriage when he has some world-saving to do (Big and Cream do have reason to believe he's responsible for kidnapping their friends though). Rouge assumes for NO reason that the Chaotix must be after Eggman's treasure and the Chaotix assume from how aggressive she's being that Team Dark must be working against their client with Eggman (though in fairness, Shadow and Rouge did work with Eggman before, and Omega is an Eggman robot). The Chaotix try to take Cream's Chao Cheese because their client gave them a mission to collect 10 Chao...a task they already accomplished, which causes Team Amy to believe they might be responsible for kidnapping Cheese's friend Chocola and they're a bunch of bullying jerks, to which Vector is incensed at and Charmy just says "screw it, let's fight". The Team Sonic vs. Team Dark battle is even worse - Sonic's response to seeing someone who he thought died saving the world is to call him "stubborn and full of surprises", and it seems the reason the battle is being fought is because Team Dark wants to get to Eggman before anyone else for their selfish reasons, Team Sonic won't be having that, and Sonic and Shadow just want a good ol' throwdown regardless.note Espio of Team Chaotix does in fact open the fight with Team Rose by saying there must be a misunderstanding, and yet insists on fighting anyway because they're in too deep by this point. The two Sonic Rivals games are full of this, hence the subtitle. The four main characters (then four teams of two in the sequel) fight each other because they want to be the one to find Eggman first as opposed to working together to find him. Just about every character meeting consists of one character telling the other, "Get out of my way! Eggman is mine!"; and the other character replies with, "No! He's mine!", thus the fight begins. Another reason for characters fighting each other is due to characters insulting one another for no apparent reason. For instance, in the second game, Knuckles calls Silver crazy for thinking that Chao can save the world, which angers Silver and the two engage in battle. During Sonic Lost World, Eggman and Sonic decide to work together after the hedgehog let loose of the Deadly Six. Sonic brings Eggman along because they need him to shut the machine sucking the life force of the world. Despite this, Tails gets confrontational with Eggman for no reason, throwing shade at Eggman and asking Sonic why doesn't he stop the machine. At the end, Tails does indeed shuts down the machine, making the whole conflit pointless in hindsight as Eggman wasn't really needed.

She finally left Spider-Man being threatened by an average thug (despite being attacked by villains such as Venom, the Green Goblin and Spider-Slayers) with the argument that she couldn't deal with the notion that her life could be in danger. She's recently realized that she does love Peter, but for some reason has yet to actually tell him this. And when she does, Peter's not entirely home. It gets worse once Peter DOES get back: once Peter explains everything, Mary Jane reveals she kinda figured that and reaffirms that being with him and being in danger is ridiculous and goes off with her boyfriend. Even more, Carlie Cooper decides to wander off as well, deciding that living away from Peter and this sort of crap is a good thing.

Conflict Ball / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic uses this in a number of episodes, like Rarity and Applejack's escalating tiff in "Look Before You Sleep". Applejack and Rainbow Dash's competitiveness getting out of hand (or hoof?) in "Fall-Weather Friends" is this because it starts with them wanting to see who's the most athletic. While they do both have stubbornness as a flaw, it goes a bit far when Rainbow Dash thinks Applejack cheated and actually cheats, causing Applejack to cheat back and on it goes. This is particularly out of character for Applejack, who is honest enough to represent the Element of Honesty and likely believes in two wrongs not making a right. Invoked by Twilight in "Lesson Zero" with the hope of being able to solve someone's problem and learn her weekly Aesop. It gets out of hand when everyone in town winds up fighting over her doll. In doing so, she ironically ended up holding the Conflict Ball herself, by dint of her sudden obsession with helping fix others' problems. "Princess Spike" is an absolutely epic case. Twilight is worked to death and needs a nap. Rather than just take a nap she enlists someone to cover for her. Rather than enlisting Princess Cadance she enlists Spike. Needless to say Spike is in over his head within seconds, yet when offered help by Princess Cadance who's now apparently got nothing else on the go, he refuses for some reason. On the other end you've got people refusing to listen to who is famously known as Twilight's assistant and a hero merely because "he's just some random dragon", and a bunch of trees planted everywhere that make creatures that sneeze fire sneeze uncontrollably.

The audience can identify with Stillson's frustration at some points, when Johnny berates him for (what he sees as) using the incident to advance his career. Come on, Johnny. You're helping a team of astronauts get home safely. Does it really matter that Stillson was the one to ask it of you? Notably, this was after Johnny had stopped getting Armageddon visions from Stillson.

This reached a new high in the SWAT two-parter when the bickering that occurred during the first part of the episode was pretty much unprecedented, even considering the fact that three of the Rangers were openly enemies of the other two in the beginning of the series brought together by an Enemy Mine situation. Part of Power Rangers' problem is that a lot of these incidents is due to a case of converting Super Sentai to Power Rangers.

This conflict really only served to create tension leading up to the big game, but considering that forming the team had been Becky's idea and Becky, not Daniel had decided that Daniel should be the coach of the team, her tirade against him seems illogical.

Conflict Ball / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Sometimes conflict seems randomly shoehorned in among the characters just so the writers can meet some sort of mandatory drama quota. This was particularly glaring in Season 7, when Buffy and her cohort end up sharply at odds towards the end of the season. The most infamous example is how Buffy ends up kicked out of her own house in "Empty Places": the Potentials stage a coup voting for Faith to be put in charge instead of her after a perfect storm of failures is set up for Buffy and somehow all of the Scoobies have lost faith in her so none of them back her up (leading to Dawn of all people giving her the boot, which is particularly Conflict Ball as the episode didn't give her an excuse to turn on Buffy like the other Scoobies). Faith herself seems utterly stunned by the turn of events, as she'd only raised the argument because she had a few issues with Buffy's tactics. Also Spike, Buffy's biggest supporter, is noticeably absent on a mission for the episode just so they can have everyone else turn on her (which he promptly calls them on when he returns). It's undone within two episodes, making it even more jarring. It could be argued that everyone involved had been dealing with an intensely dangerous and stressful situation for months (passage of time is unclear), and there were apparently 20-30 people living in a small 3-bedroom house at this point, leading to everyones' nerves being frayed. Now, why they decided to have that many people living in a tight confined space is unclear, especially when it was shown that The Dragon had previously used explosives to destroy an entire building of their allies..... Season 6 just may have been worse about this, particularly regarding Xander and Anya's failed wedding. Or how about Willow's magic addiction to try and justify her turn to the dark side after Tara is killed? There's a rather aggravating example in the Season 5 episode "Tough Love" where Willow and Tara suddenly get into a fight that comes out of nowhere so Tara can conveniently go out alone to get attacked by the Big Bad. Let's just say that Joyce and Buffy's friends mishandled her return from LA on a thermonuclear level in Season 3's "Dead Man's Party". Joyce was an early S1 flake; Willow and Xander were their S6/7 selves four years early. Spike deliberately passes it around in the Season 4 episode "The Yoko Factor", making insinuating and subversive comments to make the Scoobies turn on each other and vent repressed feelings of anger and resentment that had been bottled up. He even lampshades the trope, pointing out that people latch onto one specific event or situation as a cause of strife, but that what really happens is that the event or situation is just an excuse to bring to the forefront issues that were there all along.

However, the actor subtly nicened him up a bit. Unfortunately the trade off was that whenever the script called for him to truly be a jerk, it often looked a little forced. One notable example is the episode Sateda, in which Shepard claims that Caldwell doesn't value alien team members such as Ronin as much as earth members, a point that had never been hinted at before. Later subverted in a very clever way when the audience learned that Caldwell was a Goa'uld spy; normal Caldwell's personality was much more balanced.

Conflict Ball / int_ef1a245d	comment	Sanctuary: In Fugue, Will gets handed this big time. His girlfriend gets infected with something that slowly turns them into a violent abnormal. Magnus then suggests a cure and considering she is the foremost expert of these things, you think that Will would go along with her idea. But NO, he thinks that the idea is too risky, which doesn't make sense in the first place because the victim has a 100% chance of dying without the cure. Then he accuses her of having ulterior motive, which doesn't fit with his character and there is no way that she would do that kind of thing anyway. It gets so bad that they have to lock him away so he won't go on a violent rampage to "save" her. Classic Conflict Ball.

Conflict Ball / int_f163bd9f	comment	The Lehrigen arc in ElfQuest pushed this to pretty extreme levels: Scouter's rebellion against Ember was not only extremely out of character (although he has been flanderized into a complete asshole over time), but pretty much against everything the elves stand for.

Conflict Ball / int_f1da64b5	comment	The Lord of the Rings has several examples making several important supporting characters in direct conflict with the main protagonists. Among the victims are Faramir, ThÃ©oden, Elrond, and Treebeard, all of whom become road-blocks to the main characters to a greater or lesser extent. Justified for some examples, as the One Ring acts as a conflict ball in order to sow dissent amongst its enemies in hopes of either being reunited with its master or finding a new master to serve.

Conflict Ball / int_f2041376	comment	In Charmed Season 5, the sisters (especially Phoebe) were distrustful of Cole and constantly expressed as much. It didn't matter that Cole was constantly trying to do good, either. The stated reason was because of Cole's turn as the Source of All Evil, but these episodes overlooked that Cole didn't choose to be the Source at all. (Instead, he had been possessed by the old Source and overtaken.) The sisters themselves were even told as much by the wizard ("He didn't die. He was reborn into a new sorry ass.") and Cole's new personal assistant/failed seductress ("You've ruined him. Made him pathetic, weak, good.") near the end of Season 4. Their distrust was rooted in a severe case of Negative Continuity.

Conflict Ball / int_f8bc534b	comment	The Conflict Ball is the plot to Vivisector: Beast Within. It starts out with a General Ripper hiring an Evilutionary Biologist to create an army of Half Human Hybrids, only to split into a civil war over disagreements over how the army should be utilized. Okay, that's reasonable. Then the General decides to nuke the biologist's soldiers for no good reason, and when he tricks the player character into coming to their island hideaway, he conveniently forgets to inform his own soldiers that he required your help, turning them against you for no reason other than to add more enemies for you to fight. It gets worse, though; later on, the General kills your only ally in the game for absolutely no reason but to get you to abandon him for the doctor's side, and then you learn that the beast soldiers are pre-programmed to hate humans on sight, forcing you to fight your new allies, even though there really should be no reason for that to happen. In essence, the only reason why you have to fight any enemies in the game is because But Thou Must!.

Conflict Ball / int_ff9ab17f	comment	In episode "Relics" of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the normally levelheaded Nice Guy Geordi La Forge gets fed up with Scotty after about ten minutes. Even though Scotty is poking around and Geordi is (of course) under the thumb of Scotty Time, it's jarring to see Geordi yell at a man who is to engineers what Kirk is to captains. But it serves the purpose of pushing Scotty into a holodeck recreation of the original bridge to ruminate with Picard on being alone in the future.
