Pure Is Not Good	comment	Okay, so you've been told that in order to make the Phlebotinum work, or go to this particular place, or what have you, you have to be pure of heart. And then you get there, and there's the Big Bad. What?!? Turns out Pure Is Not Good. In fact, it's perfectly possible to be Pure Evil. In Japanese Media, this trope is likely rooted in the philosophical concept of Makoto, which loosely means "pure (heart/mind/soul/motives)". It basically means a mind free of distractions, unnecessary thoughts, doubts, or fallacies and is mostly used in the context of hard work, loyalty, determination, and intense emotion. Makoto, while considered a "good" thing, is not limited to good intentions. For example, a villain completely dedicated to villainy, a Fully-Embraced Fiend, a Knight Templar fanatically and self-righteously obsessed with a cause, or someone making destructive knee-jerk decisions would be demonstrating makoto. Their dedication is "pure"; their goals, not so much. This trope is solely for "pure of heart" where purity does not necessarily denote goodness. Any resemblance to being a trope about pure substances is... ahem... purely coincidental. And no, we're also not touching anything resembling "ethnic purity," which ain't good either. For that, see Prejudice Tropes. May make use of Virgin Power as a specific form of purity. Speaking of celibacy, Eunuchs Are Evil can go either way: a villainous eunuch may be characterised as pure due to his lack of sexual development,note though in some cases, sex can still occur after castration, or as impure due to his physical mutilation. See also Ambiguous Innocence, Light Is Not Good, Straight Edge Evil. Contrast Incorruptible Pure Pureness. Not to be confused with Complete Monster, a character who is considered "pure evil" by story, genre, and audience standards. Can be paired with White Is Pure. noreallife

Superman, the world's greatest hero, was not considered pure enough. It also turns out that no one from this universe is evil enough to open it either. Even Vandal Savage, an immortal Cro-Magnon man who practically invented evil as a human concept, could not open the box. Trying to do it actually brought his repressed guilt to the surface. The Box is opened by the Outsider aka Alfred Pennyworth from Earth-3, the universe that is the birthplace of evil.

They're perfectly willing to let demons from the Dimension of Pain enslave them, they try to hand Torg over to them multiple times on the flimsiest promises of lesser suffering from the demons, and their Riff ends up being the sole demon in the world after victory — fitting, due to his causing all of the problems by kidnapping Torgs from various dimensions after accidentally blowing up his own.

In a similar case like Light below, she also realizes that people aren't as pure as her and wants to change that. That desire manifests into Blackâ˜…Rock Shooter and, true to her nature, strives to help others. It's just said Otherself lives in a place where suffering and sorrow are the society, and her method of saving everyone is to kill everyone and everything as a form of Mercy Kill. This makes Blackâ˜…Rock Shooter extremely homicidal (as the Otherselves are an Emotionless Girl race and only acting on their counterparts' behalf) by going around and killing her own kind in a giant massacre for years without batting an eyelash because Mato is ignorant of such a world and would have never thought that her ideology will result in something like that. When Mato finds out about this, she understandably freaks out.

However, his sensitivity also made him extremely easy to manipulate; he goes into a downward spiral after failing to cure his sister's disease, which then makes him an easy target for Claude and the Book of Night. Trousseau then becomes convinced that the best way to "save" everyone is by essentially committing a mass Mercy Kill. Malaya lampshades this in a flashback, saying that Trousseau's innocence made him easy to corrupt.

Pure Is Not Good / int_2d644371	comment	Tales Series: Tales of Zestiria really runs circles around this trope. In this world, malevolence acts like a physical disease. People who carry malevolence in their hearts eventually become hellions and have to be purified by the Shepherd (the other option is to kill them). Seraphim have it far worse. Even Sorey and his party are susceptible if they feel burdened or build up frustrations or regrets about the choices they make. However, just like the Japanese definition of purity, what prevents Sorey and his party from corrupting is the zeal he has that carries him forward towards his goals and purposes, even though Rose is an assassin for hire and Sorey and Mikleo were forced to kill Zenrus. Likewise for the villainous side, Symmone is a seraph and yet hasn't turned into a dragon from malevolence, simply because she agreed with Heldalf's beliefs and followed them with the same kind of zeal. Tales of Berseria, the prequel to Zestiria, has Melchior Mayvin, who is similarly immune to malevolence because of his zeal in creating an orderly, sinless, and emotionless world based solely on reason. This allows him to take on the dirtiest tasks of the Abbey without any risk of becoming a daemon. Berseria also shows what it would take to solve the problem of Malevolence, and the results are not pretty. Along with Melchior, Berseria also has three other plot-crucial examples of "purity": Oscar and Theresa, who are pure in their blind devotion to each other, and Shigure, who's just so at ease with his Blood Knight lifestyle he carries no negative emotion.

There are times when having too much motivation is bad, such as when Kvena uses positive essences to exploit Silvana's desire to kill herself. Likewise, having too much doubt prevents one from taking initiative in their life. Ridgefern originally created positive essences to motivate the lethargic people of his era, but when their motivation ran out of control and caused them to hurt each other, he had to create negative essences to balance it out.

Pure Is Not Good / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: It's explained that Vegeta was able to obtain his Super Saiyan form, thought to require a "pure heart", by having a heart of pure evil. Though as he elaborates on a panel later, and is shown more in the anime, it's less that his heart is "pure evil" and more that his desire to surpass Goku had grown and mutated into the all-encompassing obsession he's characterized with from this point until the end of the Buu Saga. One of the difficulties of fighting as a Super Saiyan is the sheer rage that overcomes the Saiyan. This is because their purity of heart is transformed into pure rage. Even for Goku, Super Saiyan was his Superpowered Evil Side (at first, anyway), which is why he never used the spirit bomb in this form except in a Non-Serial Movie (even then, he had to actually absorb it into his body so it wouldn't backfire on him when he transformed). Earlier in the Dragon Ball manga, Fortuneteller Baba described Goku's pure heart as being like that of a baby or an animal, while Roshi argues he's just an airhead. He is capable of acting selfishly in that regard and being overcome by emotion, but malice and cruelty were beyond him until he turned Super Saiyan for the first time, and even then, only the first time he used it. In the DBZ video games, Cell is able to use the Spirit Bomb as his ultimate attack by being pure evil. Incidentally, the Viz-translated manga does indeed give this line as a heart of "pure evil". Kid Buu (yes, the absolutely insane destroyer of all worlds) is hinted to be pure of heart during the climax of the battle with Goku, since he was able to not only catch the Spirit Bomb and move it back, but was also quite capable of deflecting it back at Goku (during the Vegeta Saga, Goku stated that the Spirit Bomb could be deflected by those pure of heart, and thus could not hurt them). This is probably because of Buu's childlike mentality. Some Japanese media, particularly video games, actually refer to Kid Buu as "Majin Buu (Pure Evil),"note the form commonly called Super Buu by Western fans is just called "Majin Buu (Evil)" and in both Dragon Ball Online and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Majin characters have an ability called "Purification" that lets them change into a Kid Buu-like Super Mode. Akira Toriyama has discussed this topic at length with regards to Goku's depiction in the manga: In Dragon Ball Super, Gowasu learns this the hard way, being initially oblivious to Zamasu's growing darkness because Zamasu is pure-hearted and has a strong sense of justice. However, it is Zamasu's inability to see past his own sense of justice and purity that leads him to believe that mortals are the root of all evil in the universe while the gods are too lazy to do anything about them and it is his duty as a god to destroy them. This carries over into Dragon Ball: Fusions, where Zamasu is immune to Spike the Devil Man's Devilmite Beam, a feat that no one else but Goku ever pulled off. Also from Super comes the ruler of the Dragon Ball multiverse, Zeno, who is literally a child with power over all creation. He's very much like a child in personality, innocent, pure, and nice to the point he comes off as the ultimate God Is Good... but as Beerus himself states, this is what makes him so dangerous. He's so innocent and pure that he doesn't really get the value of individual lives, which is why he can so casually and cheerfully threaten his subordinates with erasure and play "games" that involve destroying planets as a consequence without so much as batting an eye. It's heavily implied that the reason he destroyed six of the original eighteen universes was rather trivial overall, and in the Universal Survival arc he outright states that the losers will have their entire universes erased as a result. In fact, he states that he was planning on wiping out all but the five strongest ones just because "there are too many universes" for a long while now, and Goku just gave him the idea to scale it into a tournament where the winner would be the fifth surviving universe. Ultimately subverted at the end; The Tournament of Power turns out to be a Secret Test of Character for all of existence. The eight universes are pitted against each other in a battle royale, with the losers being erased from existence and the last person standing on the winning team getting a wish from the Super Dragon Balls. In the end, Android 17 gets the wish and uses it to bring back the other seven universes... at which point the Grand Minister reveals that Zeno fully expected this, believing that whoever won the tournament would be virtuous enough to make a selfless wish like that. If they'd made a selfish wish instead, he would have just erased all of existence on the spot.

Pure Is Not Good / int_3b34143f	comment	In Harry Potter, besides the villains' obsession with "blood purity" (which is more an example of Fantastic Racism and Fantastic Caste System), Dolores Umbridge is a sinister Glurge Addict who cruelly enforces the Ministry's will under the guise of keeping Hogwarts and its students safe. For example, in the fifth book, she changes the Defence Against the Dark Arts curriculum to a purely theoretical approach, claiming that a hands-on approach to fighting The Dark Arts is too dangerous for students to learn (really, the Ministry of Magic just considers skilled magical fighters a threat to their authority). Moreover, she seldom drops that disgustingly saccharine demeanour, not even when torturing students — which makes disturbing sense, considering how much she genuinely enjoys inflicting pain. On that note, her sadism enables her to conjure a Patronus (an Animal Battle Aura powered by pure joy) even while wearing a dark Soul Fragment around her neck, in a room full of joy-sucking Eldritch Abominations, during a Kangaroo Court session when she's sending innocent people to Azkaban. She's so twisted that that kind of environment makes her happy.

Pure Is Not Good / int_3f214754	comment	I'm the Grim Reaper: Each of the Reapers, arch-demons of Satan meant to murder people to stave off their own sentences, represents purity taken to a sinful extreme. Scarlet represents the purity of Loyalty, as she is willing to screw anyone over to save the one person she's dedicated to; first it was her mother, where she murdered millions (including herself) with a virus just to get the funds she'd need to save her mother from an illness, then she risked humanity's total extinction to save Chase. Brook represents the purity of Obedience; while he technically doesn't have a sinner's mark, he sent himself to hell just so he'd have something to do after his sister murdered him for being loved by their father (for, again, blindly following orders better than her). Then Satan updated Brook's Rap sheet with the many crimes he committed under Satan's orders and he doesn't object. Ashe represents the purity of Acceptance; he wants all of mankind to die because they've already doomed themselves, but he's also inconsistent about his motives and hasn't truly thought about the reason why everyone he has to brutally murder is still clinging to life. Their counterparts, the Archangels, are also flawed by their purity to dedication. Celeste is purely dedicated to God and God's Plan, which means she never questions or tests the system she administrates until it's too late to fix it. Bernadette is dedicated to Guarding Virtue by protecting Heaven, so she ignores the damage she does whenever she visits Earth and causes multiple damnations of people who were on the fence. And Azrael is dedicated to honor; he doesn't care about whether people live or die as long as they die with honor and grace, even though it meant betraying the very people who trusted him with everything. Together, they accidentally cause mass death and destruction for the mortal world from ignorance and negligence unfitting of paragons of wisdom and dedication.

In route A, Emperor Abyss tries to grant the Dark Elf's power to Grace, but the latter has no desire for personal power, so he unwittingly rejects the Dark Elf and doesn't even know the entity tried to possess him. Even Leed, the chosen of the Light Elf, struggled to resist the Dark Elf's influence. Unfortunately, Grace is still an antagonist because he's blindly loyal to the emperor. However, if Grace is killed, he'll admit that he did harbor jealousy towards Yuri, but not enough to be corrupted by the Dark Elf.

So Malfeas is pure RRRAAAGGGEEE, She Who Lives In Her Name is pure Order, and the Ebon Dragon is pure Betrayal (let that last one sink in for a bit). This turned out to be their downfall because they absolutely can't understand why anyone would think differently than how they think. While the Primordials may not understand why people think differently, they do comprehend that people do think differently. In the mind of She Who Lives In Her Name, the Primordials' decision to allow free will in the world they created was a bad idea, especially since it got her and hers thrown into Hell. Should she ever be released, she fully intends to put that right. Possibly the most tragic part of the Primordials' example is that they were the purest essence of their concept including the good parts... until the Exalts killed parts of them and forced surrender oaths on the rest that pretty much eliminated the good parts. Malfeas was once the purest expression of rulership, including the guarding steward as well as the tyrannical lord. When the Exalts were done with him he became the deposed tyrant, who rages because he (in his mind) should be king but cannot be. The Ebon Dragon was always a pure asshole, though.

Pure Is Not Good / int_66abe7c6	comment	Fate Series: In Fate/stay night, Gilgamesh reveals that the Grail spilled on him in the last grail war. The Grail contains the incarnation of all human evils in the world, and its contents tend to hideously corrupt and/or dissolve whatever it touches — But it failed to affect him at all because he was so pure. Because he's simply that purely self-centred. When the scene is revealed in its entirety in Fate/Zero it turns out Gilgamesh's ego is so great and his existence so absolute, the Made of Evil entity that exists inside the Grail can't shake his resolve. Gilgamesh is basically able to tell it off by taking responsibility for all of humanity's sins, an act he is able to do because of his titanic ego. Fate/Grand Order: Sir Galahad cannot be summoned as a Servant nor can he be convinced to help under normal circumstances if he is contacted because he is so pure he has no desires. Well, maybe one: he hates his father, Lancelot, for being a deadbeat dad and wants to beat him black and blue if they ever meet again. Having accomplished everything when he was alive, he thinks nobody else needs his help. He made an exception by granting Mash Kyrielight his powers to save her life, but after the threat of Goetia is defeated, he washes his hands of the heroes and revokes the powers he gave to Mash just as they have to face new threats. It is telling that in Fate/Requiem, an Alter version of Galahad who has vices is summoned and proves much more useful. The faeries in the series are said to be "innocent and pure" in the same way children can be. However, the way this manifests is a case of Blue-and-Orange Morality — anything that makes their lives better is good, and anything that makes their lives worse or threatens their existence is bad and needs to go away as quickly and violently as possible. They act on their desires more than anything, and will think nothing of stabbing the people they had been friendly with moments ago in the back if it helps them move further to their goals. This comes to a head in the sixth Lostbelt, set in a version of Britain where faeries, rather than humans, are the dominant species. Their pure nature ends up not only affecting their history and how the current queen rules over them, but is also responsible both for their own extinction in the original, unaltered timeline of the Lostbelt (before Morgan from Proper Human History intervened), and is responsible for the very Point of Divergence that caused it in the first place.

Pure Is Not Good / int_6ac55ec7	comment	In any given game of Dungeons & Dragons, as the Trope Namer for the Character Alignment, there's Neutral Evil, sometimes known colloquially as "the Asshole Alignment": not caring about law or chaos, not having any real compulsion for or against any one religion, the gods, devils or demons, monsters (and occasional player characters) that fall under this alignment are in it for pure evil. This manifests as a pure devotion either to evil itself, or simply to their own self-interest, seeing the structures of Law and the freedoms of Chaos as simple tools to be used and discarded as convenient to their goals. Lawful and Chaotic Neutral also fall here, albeit in a downplayed manner — at their extremes, they are pure Law or Chaos, and hence Pure but Not Good or Evil. One might even argue that the only truly "pure" alignment would be "True Neutral". A True Neutral character doesn't care about right or wrong, good or evil, chaos or order. They just do what they want, without worrying about how others might see them. They don't strive to be evil, yet they don't actively try to be good either. They don't fight to restore or protect order, yet they aren't actively trying to spread chaos either. They just act and accept the consequences. Stoicism, anyone?

Evil and Pure characters will resemble vampires with pale skin and red eyes. Their character type is the Fanatic. Specifically, townspeople will be afraid but attracted to you if you are evil/pure, and do fun things such as spout off a line about how 'you should just die', then immediately follow it up by asking you to marry them. In contrast, a good/corrupt character is liked by everyone, but has a harder time causing townsfolk to fall in love with them or take them seriously. The meter for Purity/Corruption thereof could be seen as a sliding scale of Lawful/Chaotic at the same time meaning an Evil/Pure alignment would be Lawful Evil

Nube's students are given several pieces of magatama to fight various supernatural beings threatening the city while Nube and Tamamo are out of commission. The magatama's powers are activated by pure and strong emotions, such as Hiroshi's bravery, Kyoko's friendship, and Makoto's kindness. However, Miki's is activated by her pride, and the other realise that the pure emotions required to bring the magatama's power doesn't have to be positive ones.

Pure Is Not Good / int_84986bf9	comment	The "Death of Chivalry" quest in RuneScape revolves around the Wand of Resurrection, an artifact which in the hands of a purely good person can raise the dead, but produces uncontrollable zombies in the hands of the impure. When the Wand is stolen by a villain, they reveal that their evil is so pure they can control the zombies they raise with the Wand. To even get to the Wand, a barrier must be broken by the blood of one who is pure of heart. Both the player character and Sir Owen can break the barrier. Sir Owen is a paranoid, brutally pragmatic Knight Templar with a kill count to match, and the player character could have any number of crimes under their belt for all the plot cares.

Pure Is Not Good / int_84c0895d	comment	O-Parts Hunter: There's an angelic character who is a genuine angel and doesn't have one iota of evil in his heart even when disemboweling his enemies he loves everything. He's on the "evil" side, and since the hero's weapon is only as powerful as the amount of fear of his enemy he's screwed. This is a standard trait of O Parts angels. Their so-called goodness doesn't prevent their vessels from destructive agendas. All an angel can really do is to kill their vessels' malice, bolster their altruistic sentiments and grant them a sense of justification instead of, say, actually improving their morality. If, however, the holder is good already, that's a different story.

This means when she develops a crush on Okuma, she is unable to separate lust from love and her ignorance leads to her very nearly raping the guy, to his horror. She becomes even more desperate for sex as the show goes on, despite not knowing what sex is nor that she is the kind of pervert she should be against.

However, it is Zamasu's inability to see past his own sense of justice and purity that leads him to believe that mortals are the root of all evil in the universe while the gods are too lazy to do anything about them and it is his duty as a god to destroy them. This carries over into Dragon Ball: Fusions, where Zamasu is immune to Spike the Devil Man's Devilmite Beam, a feat that no one else but Goku ever pulled off.

What's actually happening in the game becomes unnerving when you revisit the Zones after you beat it. All trace of life is absent in the "purified" Zone, not just the Spectres but everyone who lived there. This is the first clue that what the Batter is doing might not be not for the best. The last chapter reveals that the Batter is an Omnicidal Maniac who wants to destroy the world if that's the way to purify it. When he's about to purify one last place to end the world, you're given a Last-Second Ending Choice to side with or against him, although the results aren't too different because at this point only a few places are left untouched, with the rest having turned to uninhabitable, lifeless lands.

Having accomplished everything when he was alive, he thinks nobody else needs his help. He made an exception by granting Mash Kyrielight his powers to save her life, but after the threat of Goetia is defeated, he washes his hands of the heroes and revokes the powers he gave to Mash just as they have to face new threats.

Pure Is Not Good / int_a6543322	comment	Touhou Project: In the Silent Sinner in Blue manga and its associated material, it's revealed that Impurity is the cause of death and death is the source of Impurity. It's also revealed that the reason behind the Lunarians' vast lifespans is that they, and the Moon, are Pure due to never having been touched by death... But for all their Purity the Lunarians are also generally elitist jerks and simply being mortal is a crime punishable by exile in their society. Or in other words: In the side material for Subterranean Animism, the description for Parsee's "Grandfather Cherry Blossom" spell cards mentions that neither Reimu nor Marisa is pure-hearted enough to make the ashes turn into flowers. The implication is that Parsee's own pure envy did so, unlike the fairy tale the attack is based on. Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom gives us another example in the final boss, Junko, a being with the ability to purify others. She used her powers on herself to turn into a being of pure resentment and grudge, and now devotes the entirety of her existence to getting revenge on her mortal enemy Chang'e, who was responsible for getting her son killed. She also tries to attack the Lunar Capital by purifying an army of fairies into creatures of pure lifeforce which in return would cause the Moon to turn impure.

It's noted that despite working for the Medici Mafia, Cerebella has a pure and innocent heart, which would potentially allow her to wish on the Skull Heart without ending up becoming the next Skullgirl. That doesn't stop her from killing Ms. Fortune by crushing her to death. Sadly, Cerebella seems to realize her folly only after she presented her mobster father figure Vitale Medici with the Life Gem she retrieved from a mangled catgirl's corpse. Played very straight in Black Dahlia's story mode, however. When she makes her wish on the Skull Heart, it deems her heart pure enough to do so without becoming the next Skullgirl and so vanishes forever upon granting her desire. The problem is that Black Dahlia is an Ax-Crazy Blood Knight, and her "wish" involves ultimately being whisked to a Death World where she can fight, maim, and kill with her life on the line for the rest of her existence. This is because the Skull Heart runs on a Blue-and-Orange Morality interpretation of "purity", viewing any benevolent wish as inherently ruining the outcome since such unnatural intervention can't be truly "good", and wishing for your own personal gain is already "impure". Dahlia's single-minded lust for violence and bloodshed, and her desire to be put on a world that knows only bloodshed with no inherent advantage for herself to survive, thus doesn't count for personal gain or benevolent assistance to anyone. For its part, the Skull Heart sounds overjoyed to grant her wish.

However, she's an Unwitting Pawn to the corrupt Cardian Alfredus Marian and doesn't realize that her power and purity are being used for his anti-demon and environmentally destructive agenda. Later, she loses her purity due to the shock of being betrayed and because she accepted Malayna's deal to convert her into a demon in order to survive. If the player sticks to morally just actions, Celeste will regain her purity while having a better perspective of the conflict between the Elysian Order and the demons.

After all, he's a handsome, well-mannered, well-read, and educated young man. However, nothing changes the fact that he is the monster: a highly manipulative psychopath who has been carrying out a series of crimes and murders since his childhood. With his qualities, the vast majority of the world's problems would be solved, not helped by the fact that he was raised to be the perfect soldier. His unwavering dedication to his twisted goals and his lack of scruples make him an example of how "purity" in terms of determination, physical appearance, intellect, personality, and Evil Virtues does not necessarily denote moral goodness.

Pure Is Not Good / int_d1ad2f1d	comment	Done to interesting effect in Doki Doki Literature Club!. After Sayori's suicide and the corruption of the game that comes afterwards, the game slowly devolves into madness with your surviving love interests becoming more unstable, their sprites glitching, their text suddenly changing fonts, and their personalities warping to become unappealing and even disgusting and terrifying. The only one who seems unaffected is Monika, who at worst will appear in front of the interface on occasion or experience a minor sprite glitch for a second. Basically, as everything slowly goes insane, Monika begins looking more and more like a pure, untouched beacon of sanity. Naturally, this is because she's the one who's corrupting the game in the first place because she has Medium Awareness, and her frustration with being the only Not Love Interest in the game turns her into a jealous Yandere and drives her to start crudely re-writing the game so that she can create a route for herself and drive the player away from the other love interests, even if she has to kill or delete them.

Pure Is Not Good / int_d3227902	comment	To Prevent World Peace as a whole is a "light" Magical Girl Genre Deconstruction. In this setting, magical girls can only receive their powers if they have a "purity of being" (they completely believe in and represent an ideal), thereby gaining magical power that is used to hunt down the magical predators that plague society. Unfortunately, the forces of good are not one big happy family; politicians, businessmen, and even some muggles manipulate their children into doing dangerous/socially unacceptable things for profit, and there is little to no oversight over the magical girls due to their apparent Omniscient Morality License, which can backfire greatly if the magical girl in question does not realize the consequences of her 'pure' actions or the morality of her supervisors. This is especially dangerous when it comes to killing 'evil' mages, due to Fantastic Racism and the magical mafia. The plot happens because most of the magical girls in the world think that the world is screwed up and they received their powers by being pure of heart, and by that logic (remember, they're still children) they are the most fit to protect/rule the world — even if it means accidentally destroying it.

Cocteau outright holds his society to the ideal of being as a clear crystal ball, and is proven willing resort to excise anything and anyone he considers a threat to its purity. At the end of the other extreme is Simon Phoenix, a mayhem spreading madman who follows no laws or creeds and lives only to indulge his every whim, his pure chaos leaving a trail of victims in its wake.

Pure Is Not Good / int_d6c9c0a4	comment	The two antagonists in season 2 of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex are both different facets of this trope. Gouda thinks of himself as a pure person and a virgin who has only the best for everyone in mind but is a treacherous bastard who always dresses in black and never had his terribly disfigured face restored, so everyone who meets him will always remember him. He also deliberately designed the Individual Eleven memetic virus to only affect those who were virgins before they were fully cyberized as a further twisting of this trope, since their "purity" is the very thing that makes them vulnerable to becoming his pawns. Kuze has given up on all kinds of idealism and turned to terrorism, but is completely devoted to helping the people suffering in the internment camps and sacrifices everything he has to improve their situation. He also had his cybernetic body custom build with white skin and hair, and a face so perfectly sculpted that it allows for almost no facial expressions or even mouth movement so as to not distort its unfading beauty. He also dresses completely in white when possible, evoking at the same time an image of purity and death. He gets rid of the white getup after quitting Individual Eleven and joining the Asian refugees, switching to more practical jeans and a leather jacket. Characterwise, he is compared to Che Guevara, Malcolm X, and Cassius Clay (the 19th-century abolitionist, not the 20th-century boxer who changed his name to Muhammed Ali) — a person utterly convinced of the rightness of his cause and with ability to steer others to it with his massive charisma. In Solid State Society, both Gouda and Kuze are considered to be two of the few people with egotistical, overwhelming rightfulness along with Batou, Togusa, the Laughing Man, Aramaki, and the Major herself.

People who carry malevolence in their hearts eventually become hellions and have to be purified by the Shepherd (the other option is to kill them). Seraphim have it far worse. Even Sorey and his party are susceptible if they feel burdened or build up frustrations or regrets about the choices they make. However, just like the Japanese definition of purity, what prevents Sorey and his party from corrupting is the zeal he has that carries him forward towards his goals and purposes, even though Rose is an assassin for hire and Sorey and Mikleo were forced to kill Zenrus. Likewise for the villainous side, Symmone is a seraph and yet hasn't turned into a dragon from malevolence, simply because she agreed with Heldalf's beliefs and followed them with the same kind of zeal.

The title character notes that its purity is "an abomination". Notably (and perhaps unintentionally hilariously), a minor character who was a priest thinks that Cherubael was a manifestation of the Emperor, and approaches it holding an AquilanoteA two-headed eagle symbol, the equivalent of a crucifix in 40k. and chanting verses and praise. This hurt Cherubael, who ran off briefly, and the priest, confused, gave chase. This gave Eisenhorn enough time to prepare another daemon host to capture Cherubael before it could kill him. (Remember, this was just after Eisenhorn summoned Cherubael to kill a Titan.)

Pure Is Not Good / int_f8956ef3	comment	YuYu Hakusho has Sensui, who once was extremely pure. If he wasn't so pure as a good guy, he couldn't have become so tainted as a villain. And out of his seven personalities, "Shinobu" (the original) remains very pure and innocent.

Pure Is Not Good / int_fcfec4b6	comment	The villain of one arc of Noir is Silvana Greone, a Mafia Princess known as the Intoccabile, which translates to "the inviolate" "the untouchable" (here used in the sense of "one you should not touch upon fear of death") or "the pure". Given that she's a villain it's obvious that her type of purity is not the good kind, and terrifies everyone with her Dissonant Serenity and ruthlessness.

Pure Is Not Good / int_fdbace96	comment	Played with in the Gravity Falls episode "The Last Mabelcorn": Mabel Pines is told by a unicorn that if she wants her badly needed hair, she must be pure of heart. Mabel is already a good person, so being told repeatedly she is not completely good even after doing lots of good deeds sets her over the edge. Wendy eventually decides to take the hair by force. As it turns out, the "pure of heart" things was a scam by the unicorn. Mabel, incensed, attacks the unicorn by force, and learns that the greater good is more important than being perfect.
