Throughout time, there have been many things to which "never again" would be applicable. For this fairly common stock motivation, characters who have been abused, betrayed, mistreated, or otherwise persecuted in the past are acting to make sure that this sort of thing never happens to them again. This can encompass anything from taking a few levels in badass to ensure they'll be able to defend themselves against future threats, to attempting to Take Over the World and overthrowing the oppressive institutions that made them miserable, to refusing to care enough about anyone or anything to be hurt. The characters may also wish to spare others from suffering like they did, but there needs to be at least some element of preemptive self-protection involved to fit the trope. It's a common motivation for the behavior of the Broken Bird. May lead to Had to Be Sharp. See also Safety in Indifference, Freudian Excuse, May It Never Happen Again, and My Greatest Failure. If the hurt is romantic in nature and new relationships are avoided for this reason, it's The First Cut Is the Deepest and Commitment Issues. See also Hope Is Scary, where recovering from despair is feared because it doesn't allow this, and We Are Not Going Through That Again for a (usually) more comedic take on the same sentiment. |

In all adaptations of Astro Boy, Dr. Tenma's son is killed. In grief, Tenma builds a robotic replica of his son, Astro Boy, and because he has plenty of Mad Scientist in him, augments the android with ridiculous amounts of weaponry so that his new son can defend himself when threatened. In a more direct version of this trope, Astro constantly sees robots getting mistreated or destroyed, often himself included, and spends much of his time defending robots without harming humans. | |

One Hell of an Afternoon: Long before Superboy came into the picture, Superman had various bad experiences where he was repeatedly tricked into believing that there were other survivors of Krypton, only for each and every instance to turn out to be a deception. By the time he met Superboy, he'd been burned so many times that he'd learned to reflexively reject any hope of finding and bonding with others of his kind... and the circumstances surrounding Superboy's creation were less than encouraging. | |

House in House seems to be like this at times. His relationship with Stacy sent him into one period of emotional disengagement. Then when after his relationship with Cuddy goes bad, he refuses the affections of his green-card wife, apparently out of fear that sex with anyone who actually likes him (rather than hookers) might lead to attachment which will hurt him again. Of course, if you showed him this page on TV Tropes and said that it applied to him, he'd probably give you a Breaking Speech about what a moron you are for thinking it. | |

This is the reason why Haruka of Kotoura-san would decide to be alone before the start of the story; several Despair Event Horizons on, she cynically thinks she would doom every living being that she cares about, so she decided to be with nobody so that they would not be hurt—and by extension, herself being hurt by abandonment from someone she cares about again. The downward spiral was only broken by Manabe. | |

RWBY: Professor Ozpin, the Big Good, has some pretty heavy trust issues that strain his relationship with the heroes. As he explains, however, he's been betrayed by people he trusted before like Lionheart, and he can't risk it happening again, even if it means keeping people who trust him at arm's length. Cinder Fall's main motivation is to be "strong, feared, and powerful" which stems from having been effectively enslaved as a child to her abusive foster mother. She was powerless, now she wants the power to never be in that position again, no matter who she has to hurt to ensure it. The Ace-Ops, and Harriet in particular, are dismissive of Team RWBY's belief in the Power of Friendship, keeping their relationships strictly professional and nothing more. It's all but stated this stems from having lost friends in the field before, and keeping each other at a distance to avoid the risk of it happening again. |

Not this time, Fate: Thanks to being stuck in a Groundhog Peggy Sue scenario for far too long, Jaune has completely given up on trying to pursue any kind of romantic relationship with anyone, no matter receptive they are to the idea. The loops have hammered into his head that any relationships are doomed to end tragically, and while his partner might not recall what happened after reality's reset, he does, having to carry that trauma alone. As far as he's concerned, the inevitable loss far outweighs any temporary happiness he might glean. | |

This is what sparks Tiffany Aching's desire to become a witch in her Discworld books. Specifically, there was an incident in which an odd but otherwise harmless old woman was turned out of her home, mistreated by the locals, and eventually died out in the cold because they believed her to be a witch. Tiffany's response was to want to become a real witch so anyone who ever wanted to pull a stunt like that again would have to go through her first. | |

Redo of Healer: In the original timeline, Keyaru was literally enslaved by the "Heroes" of Jioral, who ruthlessly exploited his healing abilities for their own benefit. Keyaru repaid all their cruelty by betraying them during the final battle, slaying the demon lord herself and using her heart to reset reality and go full-blown Villain Protagonist, justifying his vengeful spree in this fashion. | |

The manga tie-in for Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening suggests that this is Dante's main motivation. After losing his mother to demons, he didn't get stronger to protect other people, it was so nothing like that could happen to him again. | |

In the Love Live!/Jojos Bizarre Adventure crossover Honoka's Bizarre Adventure, while the stand Circus might be sentient and acts independent from Nico, she still is a reflection of Nico's soul. So when Honoka asks Nico to join μ's and teach them about being idols, Circus refuses at first because she doesn't want Nico to be betrayed again, just like what happened in the idol club during Nico's first year. It's only after seeing Honoka's determination as both an idol and a Stand User that Circus gives μ's a chance. | |

In A Brother's Price, after her abusive husband Keifer Porter died, Princess Trini does not want to marry again, as a new husband could be just the same. (While he was bad for the whole family, he raped and tortured only Trini, and was more subtle with the others) This causes problems because it prevents her sisters from marrying, too - all sisters marry one husband, due to male Gender Rarity Value in the setting. She is also protective of people who are in danger of facing the same fate she did - when she is told that the Porters intend to make an offer for Jerin, she neglects her own safety to help. By agreeing to marry Jerin herself. | |

In Baldur's Gate III this is the driving motivation for Token Evil Teammate Astarion. For two centuries he was abused by his vampire master Cazador, and after escaping seeks a way to kill him so he won't have to spend the rest of eternity looking over his shoulder. He's profoundly selfish and refuses to stick his neck out for others due to a belief that No Good Deed Goes Unpunished, in part due to conditioning from his master that forced him to adhere to this belief to survive. In his good ending, after killing Cazador and escaping The Chain of Harm he loses these fears and has a Heel–Face Turn, becoming an Anti-Hero vigilante. Although according to him, he's more in it for the fun of killing bad guys than saving people. | |

Revy of Black Lagoon became what she is due to the horrible treatment she received at the hands of those in authority, from her drunken asshole of a father at home to the police on the streets. Revy's obsession with power is a direct response to her feeling of powerlessness during those years as a kid, and she never wants to go back to that again. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Founders (a race of changelings) use this as justification for running the Dominion. They tell Odo that millennia earlier, they were peaceful, but were met with brutal distrust and were hunted down. Thus, they founded the Dominion to ensure they would never be in a position of weakness ever again, breeding the remorseless Jem'Hadar to do their bidding on lesser species. However, there are subtle hints throughout the show that the prejudice against changelings did not start until after the Founders started their empire-building. The Bajorans suffered a brutal fifty-year occupation at the hands of the Cardassians and ex-freedom fighters like Major Kira make it quite clear they will never suffer such an indignity again. Indeed, this is what kick starts the series, as the first step to guaranteeing the Cardassians stay away is the Bajoran provisional government requesting Starfleet establish a naval presence at Bajor, so any attacks on Bajor will be an automatic act of war against the Federation. |

After a young Brain was too traumatized to try to get the cheese once the plate was de-electrified, he vowed he would be the one in control, of himself, his surroundings, and the world, and as such, never be helpless again. | |

In Dragon Ball Super, this is the motivation for Jiren's Might Makes Right philosophy. After losing first his family and then his comrades to an evildoer, he decided that a person's own strength is all they can rely on in life. He then closed himself off emotionally and pushed himself to become the strongest mortal in existence, all so he would never be vulnerable like that again. When Goku's Ultra Instinct form begins to overpower him, he starts having traumatic flashbacks, and eventually fires at the audience to spite Goku's belief in The Power of Friendship. | |

In Devil May Cry, Dante's antagonistic twin brother Vergil became obsessed with obtaining power after his human mother was killed by demons, his drive fueled by a desire to never again feel such powerlessness. Unfortunately, because power corrupts, he soon began to seek power for its own sake, leading to him being led astray by Arkham, then brainwashed by Mundus. Then he used Yamato to cut his humanity out of himself, leading to the creation of V from his discarded humanity and Urizen from his now-pure demonic nature. Urizen also reveals his (and by extension, Vergil's) reason for hating Dante coming from a belief that Dante should not be the stronger of the two because he never suffered like Vergil did. | |

One Piece: This is the reason behind Boa Hancock's behavior. After she and her sisters were made slaves in their childhood, she put on a strong, cruel image to prevent such a thing from ever happening again. It caused her surrogate mother figure to fear Hancock had really grown cold as ice, but fortunately, Luffy's actions proved that it wasn't the case. Charlotte Katakuri is a Slave to PR who has cultivated an image as The Paragon that he projects in public so he won't be ridiculed like he was as a child for his "pelican eel" mouth (which he now conceals with a scarf) — in reality, he is every bit as gluttonous and hedonistic as the rest of his family. This is only amplified by the fact that the Charlotte Family is a Big, Screwed-Up Family that has no issue mocking and demeaning any physical deformities their siblings have (as Pudding and her third-eye can attest to). He only manages to break out of this mindset during his fight with Luffy, who saw Katakuri's true self (including his mouth) and didn't give a damn about any of his flaws, only about Katakuri's amazing combat ability as an opponent. One of the most tragic and disturbing examples in the series can be found in Gecko Moria, who lost his dearly loved crew in a fight with Kaido, with him as the sole survivor. He became so consumed by grief that he decided to make an army of corpse puppets, or zombies, powered with the shadows of others, believing it was better to have Nigh immortal zombie pawns he didn't have to care about rather than flesh and blood humans he could get attached to. Then he loses one of the few living friends he still has (Absalom) to another Emperor, whose crew taunts him with the possibility he's still alive before revealing they killed him and took his Devil Fruit. |

Ky�tar� Ichikawa from The Dangers in My Heart reverts to negative thoughts and dismissal when faced with something he feels an attachment to but can't attain. For example, a game console he wanted in elementary school that he felt his mother couldn't get. This habit got worse in the present after failing to get into the private school he wanted, fearing the worst of others' impressions of him. It's a large part of why he's hesitant to accept the hints that Yamada likes him back. | |

Some portrayals of Poison Ivy in Batman - she got mutated when she fell for a guy Playing with Syringes - now she is obsessed with controlling men. In the Cacophony storyline, this is Batman's justification for saving The Joker's life at the end, in spite of Gordon's protests. He tells Joker that he became Batman so he could save people from dying, no matter what. Some portrayals of Batman himself suggest that his tendency to remain emotionally distant is a defense against feeling the kind of pain he experienced watching his parents gunned down. |

All because he's so traumatized over witnessing his mother fell into a great depression to the point of suicidal following his dad's tragic sudden death and heartbroken after his longtime mistress, Siena Rosso, unexpectedly dumped him for another man just as he was ready to go public with her. Thus, he vows to get married soon but NOT falling in love again. Nevertheless in season 2, upon meeting Kate Sharma and realized to have fallen for her, he spends the entire season trying his best to deny and fight his feelings for her until he eventually gives in by marrying Kate. | |

In The Secret World, reclusive property mogul Nathaniel Winter is revealed to be secretly motivated by this: having grown up neurotic and frightened of almost everything, he resolved to never be afraid again - namely by seizing power by any means available to him. For a while, being rich and connected was enough - but then he discovered the Secret World, and realized that magic could make him even more powerful than before. Unfortunately, with no innate magical talent, he'd need to study for years to harness the power he desired; impatient to become the greatest magus who ever lived, Winter decided to take a dangerous shortcut and infuse himself with magic via mechanical means. The means of harvesting and infusion was Atlantic Island Park, and the process transformed him into the Bogeyman. | |

Lambda of Tales of Graces. His plan to kill everyone is because everyone he ever knew as a child was either manipulating him for their own ends or they died trying to protect him. Main character Asbel, who went through similar circumstances, breaks down Lambda's plan by asking a simple question: "And Then What?" The hesitation on Lambda's part shows he's really having a Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum. | |

Harley Quinn (2019): Poison Ivy's fear of Harley hurting her again is why she is against the idea of them being in a relationship, despite her also having repressed feelings for her. She decides to stick with Kite-Man because he is a more reliable partner. Kite-Man finally realizing that she's just settling for him is what causes him to break their wedding. | |

Hitch: Part of Hitch's backstory - in his younger days he loved and was very devoted to a woman who broke his heart by cheating on him with a cooler guy, with the reason that he was too average. In explaining it, he blatantly says he set out to ensure the same thing never happens to anyone else or himself - he reinvents himself to become the very pinnacle of charm and then becomes the "Date Doctor" to give average guys real romantic chances that would otherwise never come their way. | |

In Danny Phantom, this trope is the origin of Dark Danny. After losing his parents, sister, best friend, and teacher, Danny (with former nemesis and new guardian Vlad's help) sought to remove his human half to get rid of the pain and grief that plagued him. Unfortunately, the process turned his ghost half into a remorseless sociopath, who killed his human half, tore out Vlad's ghost side and absorbed it, and went on a ten-year-long rampage. | |

Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: Several justifications for falling to Chaos are protection against that god's particular domain. Mostly seen with Nurgle, the god of disease, whose followers are infested with pus-filled growths and oozing sores, but are no longer negatively affected by them, instead reveling in every new pox they develop. It's also the reason why Imperium hates aliens so much: during the Age of Strife, aliens, who were allies of us, turned on humanity, caused great destruction, enslaved people, etc. The Emperor decided that all aliens should be destroyed to make humanity's future safe, and frighteningly, his extremist views aren't very wrong. After his incapacitation even peaceful races are exterminated as a matter of policy. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Babs Seed. She was bullied mercilessly for her lack of a cutie mark in Manehattan, and during a visit to Ponyville, joined up with resident bullies Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon to avoid getting bullied there too. Fortunately, the Cutie Mark Crusaders show kindness and acceptance to her condition, and she becomes much happier and calls them her friends. Moondancer. After Twilight, the pony she considered her best friend, didn't show up for her first party and moved to Ponyville without a word, Moondancer was so heartbroken that she decided friendship just wasn't for her. Fortunately, Twilight eventually realizes she'd wronged Moondancer and their other friends in Canterlot and returns to make amends. After much effort, her apologies eventually get through to Moondancer and bring her out of her shell. Starlight Glimmer was heartbroken when her foalhood friend Sunburst moved to Canterlot to study magic once he got his cutie mark, which she blamed for their separation. Starlight vowed to never make another friend fearing that another cutie mark would end those friendships as well, and this event inspired her to purge all ponies of their cutie marks. |

Doctor Who: John Lumic, who has some undisclosed and presumably painful terminal illness, decides to enforce Unwilling Roboticisation upon himself and humanity in order to eradicate death and emotion. Professor Lazarus from "The Lazarus Experiment" tried to create a device to avoid death due to his experiences during World War II. It didn't quite work out. The Doctor had periods (most notably after losing Rory and Amy) wherein he refused to take on companions or even go on adventure or rescue people (before of course doing exactly that) |

In Star Wars Rebels, this is Ezra Bridger's motivation, although the way he goes about it evolves. His parents were taken by the Empire when he was seven, and he survived by refusing to rely on or connect to anyone. When he joins the Ghost crew and eventually adopts them as his new family, he becomes very protective of them, and trains to be a Jedi so he won't be helpless to save the people he cares about. | |

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, various students were bullied a year and a half before the events of the game, with the then-current teaching staff not lifting a finger to help and instead covered up any incident involving bullies. Over time, these students took matters into their own hands and banned together against their bullies as well as standing up for those with bullies, inevitably forming Team Star. | |

In Nomine: This lies at the core of Beleth's drive to spread fear — "The creatures of Beleth defend themselves from life by becoming the most terrifying things in it." In addition to the general spreading of fear, she embodies the drive to become monstrous to protect oneself, and she pushes many humans to their fates by getting them to hurt others rather then risk being hurt themselves. As much as she may deny it, that's also the real reason why she's so focused on being the most terrifying thing in creation herself. | |

Oyaji’s insanely abusive father was what made the boy grow into such a violent man, even if Oyaji only resorts to violence after being being on the receiving end of it himself, he can become a murder machine to make sure whoever started to mess with him and his family to be instantly incapacitated, or even killed. However, when Oyaji makes a a comeback to his family years later, he actually tries to forsake violence as much as possible, making sure to let his wife and children know a man who shows real love instead of just trying to punch the problems away. | |

Squall Leonhart of Final Fantasy VIII. The reason for his cold, detached demeanor was because his fellow orphan and sister, Ellone, left him alone as a child and he developed abandonment issues. He feels that, eventually, all friends and family will die or go away, and the only way to avoid the pain from that is to never let anyone in again. Even from the beginning of the game, however, it's clear that he's fooling himself, and can't help but care about people. Elsewhere in the series, Shuyin in Final Fantasy X-2 was subjected to a thousand years of Mind Rape, forced to relive the murder of his lover and himself over and over again. By the time he escapes, his only goal is to active Vegnagun and reduce Spira to its component atoms so that this can never happen to him again. |

The Narn from Babylon 5, in the early seasons. Their motivation, which prompts their bullying, their expansion, their desire to crush the Centauri, is largely about ensuring that they'll never again be at the mercy of the Centauri. Commander Sinclair even explicitly compares them to abused children who have learnt to hit back and now abuse others in turn. Ironically, the Centauri themselves: they used to be a peace-loving race before the Xon, the other sentient race from their homeworld, literally showed up from nowhere to enslave the Centauri and kill anyone who opposed. After the invasion (and a brief alien invasion), the Centauri killed every last Xon, took the stars as conquerors, and invented the mass drivers (whose use is considered a war crime). Also, the reason many Humans despise aliens and/or are obsessed with acquiring overwhelming military force: during the Earth-Minbari War, Mankind was brought to the verge of extinction by the Minbari, and Earth's allies deserted them out of fear of the Minbari, and no Human want that to repeat. It's also the reason Babylon 5 exists at all: the Earth-Minbari War started due to a formidable case of Poor Communication Killsnote When EarthForce encountered the ship of the Grey Council, the Minbari ship opened the gunports as a sign of respect. The Minbari leader, fearing this would be misinterpreted, ordered to close the gunports as soon as he found out, but a power spike was mistaken for the weapons being charged, and, as the Minbari had not replied to earlier attempts at communication (mainly because they didn't understand English), the Human captain ordered to open fire right as the Minbari were being ordered to close the gunports, killing their leader, and after the war, the Humans built the Babylon Stations as a meeting point where all races would be able to meet in peace and learn about each other. |

In Pokémon Journeys: The Series, Goh used to distance himself from making human friends, except for Chloe, because he was usually at his home doing research. Despite this, Goh did make a friend in a boy named Horace during a family trip in Johto but believed he betrayed him when he broke his word to meet up with him again, which solidified his belief in not making human friends, minus Chloe, as he didn't want to get hurt or betrayed again. However, after meeting Ash, Goh slowly started to open up about making human friends again as he has come to realize that he needs to have more than just Chloe in his life. In Time After Time!, Goh found out that Horace was sick on the day they were supposed to meet up and ends up fully forgiving him. | |

Having been much abused simply for his lip, he was one of the original students of the Order Reborn and, transforming himself into "Hawk," proved himself to be a solid Determinator despite a rocky second season. Best exemplified in the third season, when Brucks (one of his tormentors) shows up at Kreese's tryouts and ends up on the other side of his No-Holds-Barred Beatdown without getting in so much as a single hit to Hawk. | |
