"Rashomon"-Style	comment	A Rashomon-Style story is where the same event is recounted by several characters, and the stories differ in ways that are impossible to reconcile. It shows that two or more people can view the same event quite differently. The author invites the audience to hear them all out and then compare and contrast these divergent points of view. Sometimes the work provides no definitive answer as to what actually happened. Basically, it's a cast full of Unreliable Narrators. Other times, the audience might get the definitive true version of the story at the beginning or end of the episode; and usually both sides will be truthful about some things and exaggerate, downplay, or outright lie about others. In reality, this condition is so common it's often said that if you have 12 witnesses to a crime, you'll often get at least 13 different stories of what happened. Police officers tend to use this to ferret out "real" witnesses from those whose story might be fabricated or staged with others, because two people will give different details of an event simply because of what they notice and where they were relative to where the event was, and if two (or more) people either give identical stories, match too closely or describe events in an identical fashion, it is extremely likely that one or more of them have been coached or is out-and-out lying. Inspired by the famous Akira Kurosawa film Rashomon, itself inspired by the short story "In a Grove" by Ryuunosuke Akutagawa. This influential early example is a sophisticated use of this trope and, unlike many later examples, provides no definitive answers as to what the truth is. Nowadays, the "Rashomon Episode" is a staple of sitcoms since this trope lends itself well to comedy. A Sub-Trope of both Separate Scene Storytelling and Unreliable Narrator. See also: P.O.V. Sequel, Self-Serving Memory, Simultaneous Arcs, Perspective Flip, and Revenge via Storytelling. Compare A Tale Told by an Idiot. Note that this is not simply "a work, or events in a work, that is shown from multiple character perspectives." Rashomon plots are about characters misremembering or outright falsifying details of what happened, and the "facts" of the different tellings of the story have to contradict each other in some way. If no contradiction is present, it's not this. Instead, it's Once More, with Clarity.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_1360fcb9	comment	Hoot has a variant. It's narrated in the third person, and as the story jumps between three main characters - Roy Eberhardt, Officer Delinko, and Curly Branitt - there are occasional narration overlaps. For instance, when Curly encounters the guard dog trainer Kalo trying to round up his dogs after the snakes are placed out, Delinko stops by and the event is described from Curly's point of view. In a later chapter that follows Delinko, a small summary of the same scene (from his perspective) is shown.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_140068f2	comment	In Courage Under Fire, Colonel Serling investigates the circumstances surrounding Captain Walden's death in battle, and whether she deserves to be the first woman awarded the Medal of Honor for a combat role. Most of the survivors can only paint a general picture of events or can tell what happened up to a certain point, but can't really give Serling the in-depth, firsthand detail he needs to make a fair judgement. The two soldiers who can give that kind of detail tell almost diametrically opposite stories: The Medic claims that Walden is just as heroic as everybody says and died holding off the enemy so the others could escape, but this story clashes with certain details from the secondhand witnesses Serling interviewed. Meanwhile, the macho sergeant claims that Walden was actually an incompetent coward who is currently benefiting from a good PR campaign by the Army, who want to use her as an inspiring figure for others regardless of the truth, but this version is also contradicted by other witnesses. Eventually Serling gets the truth: Walden's soldiers began to turn on her when she insisted on risking their lives to save an injured crewmate who seemed almost certain to die. The sergeant then shot her in the middle of a Stab the Scorpion situation where he thought she was going to shoot him. After this, they managed to work together for a while, but when Walden made it clear that she was determined to court-martial both the medic and the sergeant (and one other soldier involved) for The Mutiny, the sergeant responded by leaving her behind to die as a way to cover the whole thing up.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_18acb3a5	comment	The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: "Will Goes a-Courtin'", where Will and Carlton refuse to pay Uncle Phil his rent because the air conditioner was broken. They end up having a pool party without Uncle Phil's permission, and Uncle Phil takes them to court about the whole ordeal. In court they tell outrageously different versions of the pool party: In Will and Carlton's version, the pool party is a classy, innocent affair where everyone is in old-style bathing suits and they dance in a circle holding hands. When Uncle Phil enters, a glass of water shakes Ã la Jurassic Park and he rips the head off of Carlton's duckie inner tube. He also yells at the 15-year-old neighbor girl who "wandered over, crying" as Will says. ("Hit the bricks, you little tramp!") In Uncle Phil's version, Will and Carlton are thuggish, and everyone is wearing revealing swimsuits, including the 15-year-old neighbor girl who wandered over, cheerfully saying "To hell with my parents! ...Will taught me that." Uncle Phil himself is just a meek, quiet man who accidentally steps on Carlton's inner tube. He told his story second and, when stopped, pointed out the others had been allowed to tell their cock-and-bull story. Of course, we saw the real pool party beforehand, where the party was not thuggish (but certainly not innocent), the 15-year-old neighbor wanders in on her own (not crying and not wearing a revealing swimsuit), and Uncle Phil spitefully pokes a pin in Carlton's inner tube (intentionally, but not violently).

Then several characters speculate on why he did it, with each version drawn by a different artist. Izzy O'Toole tells a standard Film Noir story, a pair of crackheads claim that The Question was a disfigured psychopath, and the Mayor herself finally explained that he knocked her out to prevent a desperate deal with a group of gunrunners to bring in some money to the city. The Question finally shows up and tells them they're all wrong. It turns out he went against his uncompromising nature and made the deal himself. He just didn't want Myra to meet the criminals face-to-face for fear they would double-cross her.

In the end, Sasuke Sarugakure reveals that everything happened in the order the other cast members describes; they just each ate one takoyaki, which is how the box was emptied by the time Kasumi got back.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_1beda93b	comment	The Sluggy Freelance story "Ten Minutes at a Party" jumps in and out of this mode, following different points of view alternatively and showing the occasional event according to how a given character sees it rather than how it actually happens. (For example, Gwynn is shown as kissing a particular guy, but when she puts her glasses back on — she's Blind Without 'Em — he's suddenly vanished.) The real version is generally given later after the mistaken one. (For example, when the aforementioned scene is shown again, it's seen that Gwynn's intended kiss-target is carried away along with a herd of rampaging cows, while Torg happens to pass by, and she kisses Torg, and he runs away before she can get her glasses back on.) The only thing that is really left ambiguous in the end is whether Broadman was shouting "Who owns you guys?" or "Who owns you cows?" after beating up two guys in cow suits.

Space Ghost's "battle" with a loose ceiling tile is also highly disputed. The only constant in each story is that Space Ghost was in fact hit by a falling ceiling tile (Space Ghost and Zorak confirm that Sarah Jessica Parker was the guest, though Moltar's version gives a brief and dismissive "Space Ghost was in the thing, talking to...someone" with Space Ghost laughing at footage of a cymbal monkey toy.)

Sally's recollection is that Patrick was staggeringly rude to her overweight friend, who didn't even appear in his version; the implication is that he's such a Jerkass Kavorka Man that the existence of unattractive women doesn't even register. Likewise, Sally's recounting has her and Patrick making out to something from Madame Butterfly, whereas Patrick's account - somewhat more accurate even for the parts he wasn't there for - has them making out to the Spider-Man (1967) theme.

He Loves Me Not, a French film, plays with this by having the first half or so of the film follow a girl who a man is apparently cheating on (and going to leave) his wife with her. However, he repeatedly fails to show up at all to their arranged meetings. Growing increasingly distraught, she finally attempts suicide. In the second half, it's from the man's point of view, and it's revealed that he's barely aware of her existence, and the entire relationship was the product of her being insane.

The Klingon captain, Duras, claims that Archer formed an alliance with anti-imperial rebels and launched an unprovoked attack on his battlecruiser. Archer, on the other hand, says that the "rebels" had been exploited and abandoned and were starving when he found them and that Duras attacked him when he tried to settle things peacefully. As convincing as Archer sounds, he's still found guilty.

In Jackie's version, Hyde had been a perfect gentleman, and even called her "my lady." In Hyde's version, Jackie simply shows up in the basement and tells him "I want you". In the end, Donna wonders out loud "how the hell all this happened", which is followed by a depiction of what really happened. The two had been watching TV together when they started talking and realized that they were both bored and lonely...at which point they then proceeded to jump each other. In "Backstage Pass", Red and Kitty argue about how they first met. The only thing they both remember was meeting at a USO ball. In Red's version, he heroically punched out a Marine who was trying to have his way with her. In Kitty's version, she bumped into him while he and a fellow sailor were mooning everyone else. With the awkward implication that Kitty's version was the "right" one, they decide to go with Red's version should Eric ever ask them about that.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_23510405	comment	"Judge it Up" from Shake it Up was inspired by this plot, where the main players battle it out in Teen Court, a No Celebrities Were Harmed version of Judge Judy. It concerns main characters CeCe and Rocky vs. their rivals on the titular dance show, twins Gunther and Tinka. The setup is that the girls were hired to do a routine at the siblings' cousin Klaus' birthday party, but through some unknown circumstances Gunther and Tinka refused to pay CeCe and Rocky and the cake was ruined. In CeCe and Rocky's version, they perform a highly intricate, professional dance in designer clothes that wows the crowd. The twins, jealous of the duo's talent, refuse to pay them out of spite. When Klaus comes to the girls' defense, Tinka smashes the cake in his face. In Gunther and Tinka's version, CeCe and Rocky arrive late in ugly goth-inspired outfits and perform an extremely short routine where they prance around the stage and scream at the audience before rudely demanding payment. When Klaus complains about the poor quality of the performance, the girls yell at him and begin messily eating his cake with their hands. Disgusted by their behavior, Gunther and Tinka refuse to pay. The truth is revealed when Klaus himself arrives at Teen Court, along with a friend of the four defendants who has the security tape from the day of the party. In it, CeCe and Rocky perform a competent, if not very remarkable, routine. Gunther and Tinka refuse to pay because the dance was not as intricate as the girls made it out to be in the pitch before they were hired. The four begin arguing, causing Klaus to come over with the cake and ask them not to fight. In the process, Tinka accidentally knocks the cake out of his hands, and it lands on the floor. The episode ends with Gunther and Tinka finally paying CeCe and Rocky...but entirely in pennies.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_2353af76	comment	Radio Enfer: Budding journalist Vincent tries to figure out who stole a prize envelop during a gala. High-strung Camille, who was in charge of the whole night, sees everyone as moving in slow motion, while Maria's version is similar to a soap opera (complete with love and betrayal). Jean-Lou's version (which nearly breaks Vincent) is a children's TV show and focuses on a cake instead of the prize. Also happens in its English-Canadian adaptation, Radio Active: One student tries to find out what happened to cause a CD to get damaged, and so asks the other students. Each one has a different report on what happened in the room, how everyone acted, and what happened to the CD (one student claims he caught it in his teeth after another threw it at him). The only constant in any of them is one of the students reading a comic book wearing a hat (which changes depending on who's telling it). That student's retelling consists entirely of a shot of a comic book while the voices of the other cast members can be heard babbling incoherently in the background.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_2372359	comment	The prologues to each book of The Belgariad are an excerpt from an in-universe document that gives a piece of history relevant to the book in question—for the most part these are in accord, but the last one comes from The Book of Torak, holy text of the Religion of Evil authored by (or possibly ghostwritten for by one of his Disciples) the Big Bad. It retells many of the same events but puts a radically different perspective on them- and one that Torak seems to actually believe, which really hits home just how crazy he is. The biographies of Belgarath and Polgara disagree on exactly how a lot of things went down.

Both, however, are exaggerating deliberately in order to get the case on their side — Bart describes Mr. Burns weaving all over, deliberately trying to run him down, and Mr. Burns describes Bart as a madman riding wildly all over the road while he desperately attempts to get out of the way. After he hits Bart, he gets out and has a Big "NO!". (Both stories are partially true: Burns honestly did hit Bart accidentally, but showed no remorse and instead became frustrated because now he would be late.)

As an added twist, each subsequent narrator is moved to write his own version after reading the earlier ones, so each subsequent testimony also includes clarifications, annotations, comments, criticism, refutations, and fillings of the blanks.

At the same time, while he's searching for the bomber's crew, Flint verbally grouses over some earlier perceived fraternization between Lady Jaye and the bomber's pilot. As it turned out, Cobra did shoot down the plane (and tries to go after the second prototype as well), and the pilot (an old flight school buddy of Lady Jaye's) was just asking her to a wallpapering party along with a lot of other friends.

The episode is named "I Saw What I Saw". The facts are consistent, but the opinions are often at odds (pointed out repeatedly via Ironic Echo Cut). For instance, Alex appeared to be shaky after donating blood, but it was later revealed that he left before donating, and was actually shaky because of a phone call from Izzie.

Dib's memories show that Zim attacked his house in a Mini-Mecha made from random pieces of machinery, and when the robot showed up to meet Dib (due to detecting Tak's ship in his garage and determining it to be the most advanced technology on the planet), Zim took offense and destroyed the robot. In Zim's memories, he peacefully greeted the robot while in a much more advanced mech, only for Dib (whom he portrays as a drooling moron) to blow up the robot by accident. Gaz's memories show that she wasn't even paying attention to the fight at all. And GIR's memories... cause the memory machine to melt down and the alien's ship to explode.

Duncan and Warren Cochrane were Scottish Jacobites who supported Bonnie Prince Charles and fought in the failed Jacobite uprising. Years later they visit the exiled Charles in France wanting him to lead another uprising. They both came away with completely different recollections of the event. Cochrane remembered Charles as a dignified elder statesman who declined their offer because he did not want to see more of his followers killed. Duncan remembered Charles as a broken-down drunk who was more interested in their money than their cause. Afterwards Cochrane is angry at Duncan for his lack of faith in Charles while Duncan thinks that Cochrane is deluding himself. The end of the episode suggests that both men saw what they wanted to see and the truth was somewhere in the middle. Cochrane is hero-worshipping Charles and fails to see how tired and sick Charles is. Duncan is still angry with Charles over the failed uprising and fails to see that Charles gets proposals like theirs all the time and just doesn't take them seriously anymore.

In the third book, Snape says that this was not at all heroic but rather the result of a Deadly Prank James had been intending to play on Snape, and he only backed out at the last minute to avoid the ramifications for himself. Later we finally get the full story from Lupin: Sirius told Snape the secret of how to enter the Shrieking Shack hoping he would encounter Lupin in his werewolf form there, but James heard of this and risked his own life to stop him. Snape had just convinced himself that James had been in on the plan from the beginning out of bitterness.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_3c38c613	comment	Used in The Merchant of Venice to play with the Greedy Jew trope. Launcelot, Shylock's servant, complains to his father that he's so starved in Shylock's service that his ribs are visible. However, Launcelot just spent the whole scene practicing deceptions on his father's blindness—which means that nothing he says about his appearance can really be trusted. (This is open to interpretation since actors of all sizes have played Launcelot over the years—but even if he is skinny, you could chalk that up to a high metabolism.) The way Shylock tells it, Launcelot is a "huge feeder" who was eating him out of house and home. Of course, Shylock is a miser, so he can't really be trusted either. And so it goes... Bear in mind that it is likely that Shakespeare himself cast William Kempe in the role, who, shall we say, was not thin (he probably also played Falstaff); of course, which actor played which part in the original productions of Shakespeare's plays is not known for certain.

Only Otto's is the truth: he managed to pep talk Attila into action after Larry and Tuddrussel's training failed, and the two were beaten up after they laughed at him. Unfortunately, Otto's the only one who's not an official Time Force member, so his opinion doesn't count, and Larry and Tuddrussel make the report a fusion of their own stories.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_3d2687f6	comment	Hoodwinked! is essentially a Rashomon version of Little Red Riding Hood, with the framing device of each character undergoing a police interrogation. When characters' stories cross paths, there are differences, some subtle, others major. A perfect example is Red's first interaction with the Wolf. In Red's version, it plays out more like the traditional fairy tale: the young maiden taking a perilous voyage through the deep dark wood and being stalked by The Big Bad Wolf. In the Wolf's version, it's more like a leisurely stroll through the trees, he corners her as he has good reason to believe she's carrying stolen goods, and many of his incriminating actions are given innocent explanations, such as his big roar actually being a cry of pain at getting his tail caught in Twitchy's camera.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_3f633fb4	comment	Cracked: Ex-columnist Ian Fortey's last article for Cracked was Who Killed Ian Fortey? A Roshomon Style Murder Mystery with Ian himself as the narrator. They also misspelled Rashomon. Another example shows up in Agents of Cracked, where four major characters are trying to claim responsibility for increasing the site's traffic. Dan's version is very dark and melancholy, while Mike Vision looks like "Term-O-Vision" on LSD. Mandy's is closer to reality, but Dan is completely absent, or played by someone completely different. Sarge's version is a merge of the same office scenes and his flashbacks. It eventually turns into a bit of a mess when they all start narrating at the same time.

Each one has a different report on what happened in the room, how everyone acted, and what happened to the CD (one student claims he caught it in his teeth after another threw it at him). The only constant in any of them is one of the students reading a comic book wearing a hat (which changes depending on who's telling it). That student's retelling consists entirely of a shot of a comic book while the voices of the other cast members can be heard babbling incoherently in the background.

("Get Rid Of Slimy girlS") club meeting. President Hobbes acts as the secretary and reads the minutes about a fight he and Dictator Calvin had at the previous meeting, making it sound as though he was totally not at fault for what happened and that Calvin got his "comeuppance." Calvin in turn insists that Hobbes was being a Jerkass and that "I beat you fair and square!" Hobbes objects to being called a liar, and the two get in another fight over who started the first fight. (They immediately call a truce and make up afterward, fighting being one of their main activities as club members since they have little else to do.) We never do find out what actually happened, but from the strip's context, it can be reasonably guessed that both were lying.

It seems Marcela, an orphaned rich girl, on a whim decided to be shepherdess, and she is so beautiful all his City Mouses suitors have become shepherds only to woe her. She never gives anyone any hope, so the Sierra Morena is full of Love Martyrs, and they are going tomorrow to the funeral of one of them, Chrysostom. Pedro describes Marcela as a good person. At the funeral, Ambrosio, Chrysostomâ€™s best friends, accuses Marcela of cruelty against Chrysostom. When confronted by his listeners about Marcelaâ€™s character, he admits this was an Informed Flaw. Later, they read one of Chrysostomâ€™s poems and he claims to be a Love Martyr and Marcela being cruel to him. At last, Marcela appears at the funeral and claims that she is So Beautiful, It's a Curse and, as a free, decent woman, she had the right to reject anyone. Nobody says, but everybody implies, Spurned into Suicide.

Rocko portrays Heffer as a careless Hulk-like monster while Heffer portrays Rocko as an overly anal-retentive grouch. An interesting wrinkle: in Heffer's version, his 'narration' claims that he had thoughtfully and lovingly picked out a gift for Rocko, while the 'visuals' clearly show him hurriedly making one on the spot. Heffer is knowingly telling a fib. In "Floundering Fathers" Mr Bighead, Filbert, and Heffer all tell wildly-differing accounts as to who was the real founder of O-Town.

In the superhero's narrative, he's attempting to save reality from an evil Omnicidal Maniac who ends up destroying all of creation out of spite. In the supervillain's story, she's innocently going about her business when the superhero and his cronies burst in in a fit of self-righteous violence and ham-fistedly smash up her lab despite her protests, destroying reality through blundering incompetence. Curiously, we never find out the truth, but while the supervillain's protestations of innocence are clearly unreliable based on what we've seen from her, the superhero is also an Unreliable Narrator, as he's blinded by an overly simplistic Black-and-White Morality viewpoint and issues with the supervillain he'd rather not face up to.

After Humphrey relates his own perspective (handicapped because he's mostly a decapitated head who could only see shoes), it reveals that Thomas's cousin manipulated the whole situation so that Thomas would believe he'd been rejected by the woman he loved and be killed in a subsequent duel over what was actually an insult to Mary Shelley rather than Thomas's would-be lover.

Each of four kids recounts a sighting of Batman, giving different portions of the same events, while also giving different descriptions of what he is. The first kid makes him a Living Shadow creature like Ebon; the girl an actual humanoid bat creature; the third a Ridiculously Human Robot. At the end they see the reality; he's a guy in a suit. Which was based on the Batman: The Animated Series "Legends of the Dark Knight" which itself was based on a 1970s story from the comics called "The Batman Nobody Knows", by Len Wein. One of the kids' stories was what happened (according to his uncle), which was told in the style of comic book artist Dick Sprang and the Batman (1966) show, while the others are their own theories on what Batman looks like (with one of them being a retelling of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns). The other kid thought Batman was a bat-like creature that snatches criminals, similar to post Post-Zero Hour: Crisis in Time! interpretations of Superman's first encounter with Batman, whom he thought to be some kind of metahuman. Interestingly Batman: Gotham Knight has the same effect overall, with different artists portraying the Caped Crusader in different ways — contrast Bruce Wayne's muscled Lantern Jaw of Justice-look in Deadshot with his Bishōnen appearance in Field Test.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_455e3038	comment	King of the Hill episode "A Fire-Fighting We Will Go" has Hank and his friends working as volunteer firefighters and being investigated when the firehouse burns down. Each of them tries to implicate someone else for the fire: In Dale's version, he's muscular and dedicated while Hank's a Drill Sergeant Nasty barking orders at everyone, Bill is gorging himself on pizza bagels, and Boomhauer is lazily tanning. He claims that Boomhauer knocked over his tanning lamp in the rush to leave... and then remembers throwing away a lit cigarette onto the carpet. In Boomhauer's version, everyone speaks in his unintelligible Motor Mouth fashion... except for himself, who speaks normally and intelligibly for the first and only time in the series. He blames the fire on Bill leaving the toaster oven on after making a French bread pizza. In Bill's version, he depicts himself as even balder, fatter, and more pathetic than he actually is. He remembers shutting off the toaster oven but accidentally left the regular oven on after using it to toast marshmallows. He also mentions that he saw Dale at the back of the fire truck fiddling with the air tanks. Dale then admits that he saw Hank's tank was low on air and swapped it with his own because he knew Hank was the only competent one of the bunch and would need all the air he could get in order to save the other three when they inevitably screwed up. In Hank's version, all of them (himself included) are depicted as children doing their usual things, but "age up" to responsible adults when the alarm bell rings. He remembers personally taking care of the cigarette, oven, and tanning lamp before leaving, but then realizes the fire must have been caused by a faulty Alamo beer sign owned by the recently-deceased Chet Elderson. Though Dale was the one who actually plugged it in (to honor Chet's memory), Hank shifts the blame to Chet and convinces the fire chief to just call it an electrical fire so as not to sully his name.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_49a87cb3	comment	Final Fantasy VII: Per Word of God, the Nibelheim Incident is portrayed differently in various pieces of spin-off media because each one represents a different person's interpretation of the events. The original FFVII shows Cloud Strife's perspective, the Prequel game Crisis Core is Zack Fair's perspective, and the anime Last Order and mobile game Before Crisis is how the Turks believe it went down. While they all get the basic facts correct (Sephiroth finds out about JENOVA, burns Nibelheim to the ground, attacks Tifa, and finally goes into the Lifestream; some time later, Zack dies fighting off Shinra's forces), lines are changed and interpretations vary greatly. FFVII depicts the death of Zack himself as they're getting ambushed and gunned down by three Mooks; Crisis Core makes it an epic battle against practically the entire Shinra army, with the three Mooks being the ones left standing when Zack ran out of steam. Likewise, Last Order shows Sephiroth willingly jumping into the Lifestream rather than getting thrown in by Cloud because the Turks weren't actually present and that's how they assume it went down.

And then an orc explains that he was showing off his motorcycle to a bunch of lovely ladies (and a blood elf male) when the dragon arrived, so he rode his flying motorbike to the top of a mesa to duel Deathwing in a knife fight, at which point the other characters interrupt and it all dissolves into chaos.

Daisy, Gladstone and Huey, Dewey, and Louie tell their own versions of the story. In Daisy's version, all six were canoeing when suddenly some bees attacked, causing him to lose control of the canoe and crashing into a rock. Bad things happen and Daisy ends up getting on a log, directly aiming at a waterfall. Donald tries to save her by catching her at a nearby tree but fails. Then he comes up with another plan — just before they are about to drop at the fall, he makes a particularly epic jump on the ground, holding Daisy. In Gladstone's version, there are no bees, but Donald crashes into a rock because he is an idiot. Then he doesn't run into a tree to save Daisy, but to escape a lynx. And they are not saved from the waterfall by Donald's jumping abilities, but a particularly ridiculous Deus ex Machina; a ROCK SLIDE that stops the log. In Huey, Dewey, and Louie's version, both bees and lynx are very existent, but the real kicker is that where the rock slide came from: It was caused by Huey, Dewey and Louie. It was intentional.

Gotrek resolves this by taking the shield, hacking it to pieces, and throwing the pieces into the fire. It cancels the clans' grudges, in that they now have a grudge against Gotrek.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_5461b43	comment	The Firing Squad of the Agents of Mayhem each give Persephone various accounts of what happened during a mission to retrieve a weapon from LEGION: Oni explains the details in a storyteller-like manner, going so far as to give colorful names to various LEGION troops (i.e: Ivory Eagle, Serpent Devils, etc.), which Persephone quips that it has "the flavor of a third-rate martial arts movie." She asks about the weapon they were sent to retrieve, and Oni said there was no weapon. Kingpin's account is more ridiculous than the one above: once entering the lair, he tells Persephone they went in guns blazing, then going through hallways and into a room with ten robots... which he then changes to two when Persephone presses him on the matter but described them as if they were "juicin'." Persephone asks him about the weapon, Kingpin tells her the robots were the weapon, but they had to destroy them. Persephone calls in Scheherazade, expecting a more realistic recall of the mission. Scheherazade tells her that the squad entered the lair with absolute stealth, while in-game, Oni informs the squad they had tripped a silent alarm, prompting Kingpin to ask him how he could know about it. Scheherazade continues on about them becoming "one with the darkness", even though there was a lot of shooting involved. After said shooting, they find what they were meant to retrieve in a box... which was empty, much to Persephone's chagrin. Scheherazade explains that the weapon is safe in her possession, adding that she had developed an "emotional attachment" to it. Persephone tells her that she trusts her judgement and warns her not to make her regret it. In the end, it's revealed that the weapon (if it can even be called that), is a chinchilla that Oni and Kingpin are playing with. Scheherazade insists that they be discreet about it as Persephone is "a complete despot about her no-pets policy."

All of them are obviously falsified somewhat, with everyone making themselves out to be the Only Sane Man of the bunch. As it turns out, the most truthful account is Perci's, and the truth about how the fire in the workshop started is Sonic, Knuckles, and Amy all contributed to the fire, but the cause of the fire is Tails' security system short-circuiting.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_59a835fb	comment	In Sonic Adventure 2, it's debatable who won the character-on-character boss fights. Most of the cutscenes treat them as stalemates anyway, with two important exceptions being the final battles between Eggman and Tails and Sonic and Shadow. The endings of the Dark and Hero pathways contradict each other as a result, but both of them plausibly set up the Last Story. In the Hero storyline, Tails defeats Eggman in revenge for Sonic's apparent death, while Sonic sends Shadow off to lick his wounds. Eggman still manages to sneak away with the last Chaos Emerald and place it into the cannon's console off-screen, but Sonic destroys the cannon before it can fire. Success! Right? In the Dark storyline, Eggman defeats Tails, Shadow prevents Sonic from reaching the Eclipse Cannon, and Eggman's plan goes off without a hitch! So what's with the siren?

Doc is insulted by this statement since it is an element of pride for him that on that day he was acting as a lawman and only fired after being fired upon. Wynonna lampshades the fact that people's recollections change over time and over the years they start to remember things differently than they really happened.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_61063c85	comment	The Last Duel shows the lead-up to the titular duel from the perspective of all three parties: accused rapist Jacques Le Gris, his accuser Marguerite de Carrouges (nee Thibouville), and his opponent, her husband Jean de Carrouges. Events that two or more of them were present for are presented slightly differently via Self-Serving Memory. The film strongly implies that Marguerite's version is the correct one; each segment is titled "The truth according to" Jean, Jacques, and Marguerite, respectively, but for her chapter, her name fades out almost immediately, leaving only "The truth" onscreen. Jean and Marguerite's relationship. Jean sees himself as a gallant husband; Marguerite sees him as rough and distant. Jean remembers their wedding night as a tender affair; Marguerite remembers it as unpleasant. Jean remembers his return from the Scottish campaign as him dutifully and warmly greeting his wife and mother; in Marguerite's account, he barked at her for wearing a low-cut dress and called her a whore. Jean's memory of Marguerite confessing her assault is of him assuring her that Jacques will be dealt with, but in her memory, he yells, lashes out, and considers it an affront against him more than her. Jean and Jacques's public reconciliation has someone say "Let there be no ill will among servants of the King". Jean's and Jacques's memories show them each saying the line, but in Marguerite's account, it was instead their mutual friend Crespin. The supposed rape itself. In Jacques's memory, Marguerite acts much more ambiguously and does not protest as much; in her account, it was very clearly a rape, with her trying her best to resist him and sobbing sorrowfully after the event.

Finally, after Rey confronts him, Luke tells her the most complete version of the story: for a brief moment, he had a lapse in judgment and indeed had a moment where he intended to murder Ben in his sleep because he sensed a deep well of darkness in his pupil. Before he could do so, he realized the horror of what he was about to do and decided not to go through with it, but it was too late - Ben Solo saw his master's activated lightsaber and attacked. Luke views Ben's transformation into the dark Kylo Ren as his own fault and is racked by guilt.

However, Berry had them followed with a film crew, and the important details were: They ALL gave her the gas willingly as their hands were over the can, their gas tank had a leak and Tito had a hard time getting a ride to the gas station before Jackie got the others to push the car out of the way of traffic—and out of Tito's sight.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_691be369	comment	Also used in The X-Files, usually as the basis for a comedic episode. In season 3 episode "Jose Chung's From Outer Space", a famous author attempts to find out the truth behind an alien abduction by interviewing the abductees, witnesses, and FBI agents on the scene. Notable in that the story somehow gets more confusing with each successive version of the story, and every detail added not only fails to clarify anything but actually manages to make things even less clear, and by the end of it all that's been established is that absolutely nobody involved has even the faintest idea what actually happened, up to and including the audience... and it's beautiful. Likewise, in the season 5 episode "Bad Blood", Mulder and Scully have to corroborate their stories on what to tell Skinner about why a guy who most certainly wasn't a vampire (but turned out to be anyway) got staked through the heart — by Mulder. And we get an inside view of how both Mulder and Scully see each other, which is generally comically different than how we normally see them.

Finally the viewfinder is fixed and he forces all three of them on it to determine the true course of events — it turns out that the three kept screwing up the basic parts of the plan until they accidentally landed in the middle of the concert floor, at which point they panicked but fortunately so did the humans they landed in front of and soon the entire building was evacuated.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_6d2c2611	comment	Clarence: In "The Interrogation," Mr. Reese finds "MR REESE IS A DUMMERD" written in marinara sauce on the side of his car and gets stories from his four main suspects: Clarence, Belson, Chelsea, and Jeff. Each sequence is animated in a different style: Belson's is gray and rainy, Chelsea's is windy, Clarence's looks like a kid's crayon drawing, and Jeff's is all in cube shapes. Belson admits the marinara sub was his, but he gave it to Chelsea "out of the goodness of his heart" (the truth being he simply dumped it on her). Chelsea recounts that she was enjoying her sub when an "unknown object" tripped her and she fled upon noticing the stains. Clarence then admits he saw Jeff do it, but his account is completely falsified: he imagines Jeff riding up on a motorcycle, knocking the sub out of Chelsea's hand, and writing the message himself. Jeff admits the truth: he bent over to pick up a guitar pick he saw on the ground, and accidentally tripped Chelsea. He tried to clean the stains but only made them worse—however, he has no idea who wrote the message. The ending reveals that it was Ms. Shoop, who did it right after Chelsea and Jeff fled.

By the time the player arrives on the scene, a good amount of the story has already happened, and the only way to learn all of it is to play every faction's storyline... But since you can only play one faction per playthrough, the only way to learn the full story is through Alternate Universes where the player chose different paths, resulting in wildly different outcomes and effectively making the player have different accounts of the backstory. Throwing a spanner into it is the fact that not all facts learned during a storyline applies to all the other storylines. Override (Nova's predecessor in the series) has a more standard version — though in a twist it isn't apparent in the game itself, and it took Word of God to reveal it. Several of the storylines are mutually exclusive to do, but all of them happened (it just wasn't the same human that was involved in all of them, obviously).

Hilariously enough, all the characters in Crichton's recollection refer to Plokavians as "Plokavoids." Not so hilariously, the judges don't comprehend the distortion and sentence all the witnesses to death until Stark takes the blame. All Plokavians perceive things in exactly the same way, with a Photographic Memory and no personal colouring of memory or false memory syndrome. To them, subjectivity is a foreign term. Afterwards, they compared their stories and figured out that it wasn't any of them, Stark had hit the fire control panel but Crichton had just disabled it, which put the cannon back under the control of the Trigger-Happy Living Ship.

Granted, Mackenzie was all-but-explicitly identified as being a pawn of Senator Kinsey in his plan to get Daniel out of the picture, but the author has established Mackenzie as an incompetent psychiatrist in other stories where he would have had no reason to be Kinseyâ€™s agent.

All of them offer different explanations for what exactly Haruhi is and what she did three years ago, as well as giving different explanations of their origins. The esper (Itsuki) says Haruhi created all three groups, is possibly a god, and remade the world three years ago. The time traveler (Mikuru) says time travelers came to investigate a problem Haruhi caused, that she's just a normal person with an odd ability and that she broke the time plane three years ago rather than remaking the universe. The alien (Yuki) spews a lot of big words that Kyon can't really understand, then later says she's not going to offer any more explanations because Kyon has no way of knowing if she's telling the truth while pointing out all three groups have good reason to lie to him. The implication is that all three are partially correct, but also either withholding information, mistaken or outright lying. It only gets more complicated from there.

Jade claims that she witnessed a furious screaming Tori angrily swear revenge on Trina, Tori claims that she saw a snarling monstrous Jade scream at Trina after Trina spilled her coffee on her, Robbie claims that Cat had sworn revenge after Trina pulled him away to make out in the dressing room, and Cat describes an episode of Drake & Josh. note (for those curious, the episode "I Love Sushi") Andre, who just wants to go to meet up with a girl heâ€™d met, lampshades the increasing absurdity and pointlessness of the questioning. In the end, the culprit is revealed to be Rex, who cut the wire as payback for Trina punching him, and Robbie had to cover for him. "How Trina Got In" deals with the main characters minus Tori and Robbie telling tall tales discussing how Trina was accepted to Hollywood Arts. AndrÃ©'s story shows Trina was full of talent at her audition, but Sinjin accidentally hit her with a light which turned her talentless. Jade's story has Trina rejected, release a stink bomb in the theater causing everyone to evict, and she signs "yes" on the judge's papers. Beck's story shows Trina was rejected for her bad singing, and Trina bribed them with a fighting challenge where the deal is if she wins, then she's accepted. Sikowitz then reveals the real reason Trina was accepted was during her audition, he was drinking expired coconut milk and hallucinated Trina dancing on multicolored backdrops and doing weird stuff, causing him to love her performance so much he signed "yes" on all the judge's papers.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_7894fb5d	comment	One of the most significant examples of this trope are The Four Gospels of the New Testament. The oldest canonical Gospel, Mark, is quite short. This comes across even in Jesus's genealogy in Mark 1:1 which most people read past, where Jesus Christ is named "the Son of God." It is mostly written in simple language like an action script. It is directed towards a more matter-of-fact people, the occupying Romans. Mark's Gospel tells readers what Jesus did. It is themed around the Messiah's servanthood, a fulfillment of the Ox of Ephraim's standard in the Camp of Moses (the suffering servant). The Gospel of Luke's main audience is Gentiles (Luke being a Greek doctor), thus he begins his genealogy at Adam the common ancestor of all humanity. He tells the story of Jesus as the Son of Man (Seed of the Woman; the Kinsman Redeemer) and is therefore representative of Ruben's standard, a man. His Gospel tells us what Jesus felt, which was of great importance to the stoic and epicurean Greek philosophers. Matthew's Gospel, as a Levite, is directed towards the Jewish audience telling of Jesus's royal pedigree from David and showcasing His fulfillment of prophecy in Scripture in regards to the promised Messiah. Therefore telling the story of the King (Judah's standard being a lion, which as we all know is the King of Beasts). Matthew focuses on what Jesus represents and fulfills in the Torah and Tanakh, and also tells us what Jesus said (as Matthew's Gospel has the most public discourses). The Gospel of John is shorter than both Luke and Matthew, with a noticeably different structure and content than the synoptics, in addition to being much more spiritual and enigmatic in its tone, and even esoteric at times. It is representative of the final standard in the camp of Moses, Dan the serpent (Jesus made sin) which later in Dan's history became an eagle with a serpent in its mouth (man's sin paid for/God overcoming the serpent), to finally just an Eagle (the absence of sin) late in Dan's history. John's Gospel, which scholars believe to be written last, is to those waiting for the Messiah's return. It tells its readers who Jesus was/is/will always be, with Jesus making seven "I am" (the name God gives Moses when Moses asked what His name is) statements throughout, performs seven miracles, seven discourses, even down to the heptadic structure of the words and letters themselves. Mathematicians such as Harvard University's Ivan Panin recorded over 43,000 pages of mathematical discoveries in the Hebrew and Greek text of the Old and New Testament which he believed to be evidence of the Holy Spirit as the author, and as a result converted. Luke and Matthew's Gospels tell more-or-less the same story as Mark, but they are also directed towards different audiences, so they expand it with numerous other events, characters, motives, and entire new subplots (i.e. the story of Jesus's miraculous birth, the Sermon on the Mount, the Doubting Thomas, etc.); hence why these three Gospels are known as the synoptic (Greek for "see-the-same") Gospels. However, there are seeming contradictions between the original parts of Matthew and Luke, most notably the genealogy of Christ being different. This however is reconciled when discovering that there is a case of Tangled Family Tree and Spare to the Throne. Matthew's genealogy is that of Joseph the husband of Mary from King Solomon, thereby preserving the royal line of succession from King David to Jesus, Joseph's adopted son. Whereas the genealogy in Luke's Gospel is Mary's through King David and Bathsheeba's second son Nathan, Solomon's younger brother. This averts the blood curse placed on the royal line of Judah through Solomon's line in Jeremiah 22:30, where the God of Israel curses Coniah and his seed in perpetuity. In Luke's Gospel, Jesus "is supposed" (nomizo/by the law) the son of Joseph, so too Joseph is "reckoned by the law" the son of Heli/Eli, Heli/Eli being the father of Mary, to which even ancient Rabbinic Jews agree by mention of Mary the daughter of Eli in their writings.

Each version of events has an Art Shift to match the kind of story the witness thinks it is: the cop's version is in the style of Kirby's Hulk, the old lady's is equally Silver Age but more like a romance comic, and the priest's is full of dark shadows and viscera, like a horror comic. (There's also a bartender, but his only concern is that the Hulk wrecked his car. His flashback, such as it is, is in an indie style with emphasis on Talking Heads.)

"Rashomon"-Style / int_7dbde88b	comment	The Drake & Josh episode "Foam Finger" has Drake and Josh recounting their first meeting and fight as children trying to buy the last foam finger at a Padres game. Josh remembers Drake as an unfriendly jerk who let a bunch of girls cut in line, deliberately bought the last foam finger to prevent him from buying it, and then thumped him over the head with it. Drake remembers Josh as an obnoxious jerk who accosted Drake for letting a dying British orphan cut in line and then tackled him for buying the last foam finger. Near the end, Megan brings in the guy who sold them the foam finger to tell them the real story: Drake and Josh got along really well when they met, allowed a couple girls to cut in line, and there were no hard feelings when Drake bought the last foam finger. But Josh tackled Drake, thinking he had thumped him over the head, not knowing it was actually a toddler-aged Megan who threw a cookie at his head.

Both stories are mostly compatible, describing different events and conversations that took place over the evening. Each flashback ends with Harlan cutting his birthday cake, but in Linda's telling, we see her and her husband on either side of him, while Walt's account puts himself and his own wife sitting with Harlan. This discrepancy isn't pointed out in dialogue, but subtly reminds the audience that neither sibling is entirely trustworthy.

The tent poles of the story: Carmelita was on her first case for Interpol; Sly shows up, Carmelita ties up Sly, Sly gets away, a jewel that Carmelita was supposed to be guarding was stolen, then the thief (a stage manager) is found tied up. Everything else, well, let's just say it's your typical Sly-Carmelita conversation (during the Sucker Punch era, anyway). A couple lines between them sums up the trope nicely:

What makes this one interesting is that the story is the same — Jon takes Garfield out for yogurt, finds it too expensive, Jon heads home and decides to make yogurt himself, Garfield interferes while Jon leaves to answer the door, and things go out of control. The only difference is that each narrator makes himself out to be a perfect angel while depicting the other as a complete jerk. Odie's refusal to answer seems to hint that both were at fault. However, the episode never confirms which parts of the story were true and which were false.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_809a3193	comment	Used in the A Different World episode "The Cat's In The Cradle", in which Dwayne and Ron are arrested by campus police for brawling with three white students from another college. As usual, each party's version of the event pairs this with Self-Serving Memory, but there is a twist on the Rashomon style in that audience gets to see what happened right away and knows full well that they're exaggerating: Both Ron and two of the white students said and did things to provoke each other, while the third futilely tried to keep the incident from escalating. The fight began when one of the white students spray-painted a racial slur on Ron's car, at which point Dwayne showed up and jumped in to help. In Ron's version, the attack was completely unprovoked. He downplays his antagonistic comments, unfairly depicts the Token Good Teammate as just as aggressive as his friends, and when Dwayne arrives, he is seen meekly pleading for the attackers to "stop, stop". Similarly, the white student who tells his story claims that THEY were the innocent victims, portrays Dwayne and Ron as stereotypical street thugs, and conveniently neglects to mention vandalizing Ron's car.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_87056d17	comment	Sonic Adventure: This game uses a downplayed version. It has six different main storylines which intersect every so often, and at every intersection point, the dialogue is slightly different between the versions used in each character's story. In some cases, this reflects the point of view of the characters: for example, Dr. Eggman is a card-carrying Large Ham in Sonic's story, but in Tails's story, he's significantly more threatening and subdued. Usually, the events and outcomes remain the same, but sometimes they'll play out slightly differently to reflect the character you're playing as. A good example is the battle against E-102 Gamma. In Sonic and Tails's storylines, the character you're playing as is about to beat Gamma, but Amy steps in to stop him. In Gamma's storyline, Gamma is about to beat Sonic, but Amy stops him instead. Amy's storyline goes with Sonic's interpretation of events, but with Gamma still holding ground beforehand.

Monroe's is raw documentary footage, Hobbes' is Film Noir with a Bullet Time action sequence, and Fawkes' is a Hollywood Action Movie (He tries to narrate his story the same way he narrates the show, but gets cut off by the psychiatrist when he starts quoting William Butler Yeats). When the psychiatrist points out the only thing that all three versions agree on, Fawkes uses pure Genre Savvy to conclude that it was the cause.

In his version, it's she who kissed him and he insists that she said "no" and "stop" in a playful, flirtatious manner, indicating that she really meant yes.

While testifying, Frank speaks (and narrates) his version of events, in which he struggles heroically to treat the wounded while the other surgeons mewl and cower. During the scenes accompanying Frank's narrative, he is shot in soft-focus, gleaming and white while shots of Hawkeye and BJ are dingy and unflattering, and for what may be the only time in the series, there is a Laugh Track in the operating room, giving more evidence (as if the audience were in any doubt) that Frank was telling a self-serving lie.note CBS demanded the show, a Sitcom, have a laugh track, but Larry Gelbhart was able to negotiate one exception, that it never be used during any scene set in the operating room. Hawkeye gave his version of events (which more or less, falls in line with the way the characters normally act, and the Laugh Track is not present). Since we never see the real event, the suggested conclusion seems to be that Hawkeye's version of events is more or less correct, at least as far as the important points.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_8eb018a3	comment	Shovel Knight became this after the first DLC campaign was released. While Shovel Knight's own story is a straightforward heroic journey to defeat the Order of No Quarter and the Enchantress, Plague of Shadows features Plague Knight, a hyperactive and slightly psychotic alchemist and former Knight of the Order of No Quarter, on his own quest to craft the Ultimate Potion to become the most powerful alchemist in the land. Or maybe not?.. This story runs more-or-less parallel with Shovel Knight's story, and even changes a little bit to reflect on Plague Knight's own perspective; for example, Shovel Knight is shown to be more of a Jerkass to the Knights than in his own campaign, though this is speculated to be because Plague Knight has Jerkass tendencies himself, and so sees Shovel Knights actions as unheroic as he himself is. It also reveals certain unexplained parts of the main game as the results of Plague Knight's doing. One hint that Plague Knight might not be telling the whole truth about what happened lies in his fight against Shovel Knight—who's using relics he could not have had at that point in the course of normal gameplay (but would have had during the rematch, which is where Plague Knight might have remembered them from). Word of God is that Plague Knight is an Unreliable Narrator during the events of Plague of Shadows.

The kids hold a trial and Randall, Mikey, and Spinelli are called to testify.

Mikey's version portrays Spinelli as a battlefield angel bringing medical attention to injured kids. Randall hits her with a dirt clod during time-out and she runs off screaming that she's going to cream him. Spinelli tells the truth, that she had Randall at her mercy while holding a dirt clod not a rock, and that she forgot all about him while rescuing Ms. Finster's cat from a tree.

While the actual events play out "straight" for the audience, each of the three officers narrating the events gives a different take. Bullock's account is filtered heavily through Self-Serving Memory, as he tries to paint himself as the competent hero and Batman as the one who screwed everything up (we know who really messed up). Wilkes, the rookie cop, is being honest in his account, but due to a combination of his only beforehand acknowledge of Batman coming from the exaggerated urban legends about him and not getting a very good look at the events, he misunderstood quite a bit of what happened, resulting in him describing Batman as a supernatural being with magical abilities rather than a costumed crimefighter using convential tools and weapons. Montoya sticks to the more objective and important details in her account and as such she more or less tells what really happened, but she also mistakenly believes Batman was killed in the fire.

McLemore asking Brian Reed to investigate a murder that was being covered up. He heard about this murder from multiple sources (including the perpetrator himself, who bragged about it afterwards), and heard the perpetrator's father discussing it on the phone when he thought he was alone. Then it turns out the murder never happened â€” the supposed victim is still alive and well. So how did multiple people come to think he'd been murdered, and what did John hear that guy talking about on the phone? Later on, while Brian is investigating a list of contacts and wonders why Faye Gamble (the town clerk) contacted people lower on the list sooner than the people at the very top, she claims she tried to get in touch with them but got no response, while the contacts themselves claim that they never heard from her at all. Also, at one point someone claims that Faye told them she never spoke to Brian; but according to Faye, she never said anything of the sort.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_99c003af	comment	The Boondocks episode "The Story of Catcher Freeman" is told via conflicting historical flashbacks about a slave revolt on Colonel Lynchwater's plantation: Granddad tells a cliched action movie plot, with escaped slave Catcher Freeman as a badass hero who rescues slaves from slavers; Thelma as a vapid but attractive Damsel in Distress and Love Interest; Master Colonel as the Big Bad; and Colonel's loyal slave Tobias, as a generally useless race-traitor house slave who wrote the world's first film script... before films were invented. Ruckus tells a backward and racist story, with "Catch-A-Freeman" as a superhuman slave who captured runaway slaves; Thelma as an evil and promiscuous Femme Fatale who seduces Catcha; Master Colonel as a nice man who ineffectually tries to discipline ungrateful slaves who find Happiness in Slavery (which according to Ruckus was a jolly fun time where black people didn't have to work); and Tobias as Master's favorite slave, most definitely not the Colonel's son and... a generally useless race traitor. Huey finally sets both of them straight with the true version, from the Internet, which reveals: The so-called "Catcher Freeman" was based on Tobias, Master Colonel's illegitimate slave son, Fake Ultimate Hero, a writing genius, and... a generally useless race traitor. He takes credit after he accidentally kills Master Colonel (he meant to shoot Thelma). Thelma was the real hero of the story, and Master Colonel was a fairly decent slave master, leaving Ruckus and Granddad in an agreement to disagree with each other, but more so Huey. The episode ends while Riley tries to tell his own, intentionally inaccurate story.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_9ad446cd	comment	The Great Brain entry The Great Brain at the Academy is this for narrator JD. As he explains, his sources for what's happening at the academy are letters from brother Tom (both to the family and private ones for JD), letters from older brother Sweyn and reports from the Academy teachers. While Tom's letters are frank and detailed, JD knows better than to trust Tom not to embellish things to put himself in a more positive light. Likewise, Sweyn has his own biases and not know the details on Tom's actions. While the academy teachers are blunter on Tom's failings, they too don't know the truth of what he's up to. Thus, JD "had to be something of a detective" to piece together the varying accounts and fill in the blanks on what happened and even then acknowledges there are probably some details he got wrong.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Throughout the series, the creation mythology, pantheons of deities, the story of the creation/formation of mortal life, and even many aspects of history itself vary significantly between different cultures. Each has a number of consistent elements but offers many contradictory details as well. In the series' famous Mind Screw fashion, these tend to be treated as All Myths Are True, regardless of the conflicts and contradictions, or at least that all are Metaphorically True. (The number of Time Crashes and Cosmic Retcons also plays heavily into this trope, at several points merging two contradictory timelines to make them both true.) Clap Your Hands If You Believe is a key part of the seriesâ€™s cosmology, as the existence of various deities is at least somewhat reliant on enough people believing in them. This allows contradictory interpretations of the same figure to simultaneously exist due to various religions believing different versions. In Morrowind, the details of the Battle of Red Mountain and it's aftermath (the disappearance of the Dwemer, the death of Lord Nerevar, the ascension of the Tribunal and Dagoth Ur as Physical Gods, and the transformation of the Chimer people into the modern Dunmer) are recounted differently by each of the surviving parties — Dagoth Ur, Azura, the Tribunal Temple (which worships Vivec), Vivec (offering a different account than the Temple's version), the Ashlanders and the Dissident Priests. The Dissident Priests alone have several differing accounts — that is, one of the things they criticize the Temple for is being so sensitive about different accounts of the events at Red Mountain, so they've taken it upon themselves to gather as many different accounts as they can. They don't make any claim to know which account is true, though they phrase things in a way that make clear that they find something off about the Temple's story. Ultimately, even upon completing the main quest, you are never told what actually happened at that time. However, by speaking to all of those involved and doing your own research with in-game documents and books, you can at least rule a few of the options out. The only consistent story beats are that there was a battle, the Dwemer and Chimer were involved, the Dwemer disappeared, the Chimer found the heart of Lorkhan, Nerevar died, the Tribunal and Dagoth Ur became gods (betraying Nerevar to do so), and Azura got pissed and cursed the Chimer to become the Dunmer.

For example, Archmaester Gyldayn's Histories draws from three major sources about the Dance of the Dragons. Septon Eustace, was a Green (Aegon II supporter), Maester Munkun was a Black (Rhaenyra) supporter, and court jester Mushroom made fun of both equally but was prone to hyperbole and adding raunchy stories about all parties.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_9dfa8216	comment	Comes up occasionally in the various Law & Order series, usually involving eyewitness testimony. In one episode of the original series, detectives are trying to find a car that ran another car off the road (causing it to crash into a coffee shop, resulting in multiple fatalities). When they try to take statements from witnesses, their descriptions of the car are completely incongruous. In one episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Elliot is trying to interview witnesses to a playground shooting. Given that they're all young children, it...doesn't yield much in the way of useful information. In a later episode of SVU, Elliot and Olivia are trying to solve a cold kidnapping case; they note that they have three witness statements describing the car, and all of them disagree on color and body type. Incredibly, this still manages to be helpful to them, as after they identify a potential person of interest, they realize that person did in fact own a car at the time of the kidnapping that matched one of the descriptions.

Bob makes it appear that everything with the band was smooth sailing until Tommy's gambling debt was revealed.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_a0500a06	comment	Rugrats episode "The Trial" in which the babies attempt to figure out who broke Tommy's clown lamp via a trial. It's played with quite a bit as Angelica keeps trying to paint Chuckie or the twins as the culprit through various reasoning (the twins spinning around it too fast and Chuckie being absolutely terrified of it and actually wanting to get rid of it.) This is a bit of a Hoist by His Own Petard moment for the real culprit, Angelica, who wouldn't have known those things if she wasn't there. Another example in the episode "Reptar 2010" has the babies imagine their own endings for a Reptar movie after Stu's VCR eats the tape; each one believing that Reptar would do something that they themselves would likely do if they were in that situation: Chuckie believes he'd run away and find a somewhere to hide, Phil (and Lil) think that he'd play in the sewers, Angelica assumes that he'd boss everyone around to get what he wants, and Tommy thinks that he'd just want to have adventures.

It's quite clear that the overall tale is the same due to many recurring elements (Dark Prince's storm, Rulue as the penultimate boss, Ecolo being slightly involved), but the individual narratives aren't (for example, did Arle meet up with Schezo in his cave, or did Schezo find Arle after following Carbuncle?). Rulue also borrows some elements from both stories for her own, but hers is definitely not canon as she doesn't force Dark Prince to get rid of the storm.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_a4420d22	comment	The Venture Bros.: Over the course of the episode "Victor. Echo. November.", three different characters recount the tale of how Phantom Limb made his arms and legs invisible. It is completely different every time, though each also involves Billy "Quizboy" Whelan and how he himself ended up with a cybernetic arm. At the end of the episode, Dr. Venture even asks Billy directly about his arm; he replies, "That's an excellent question. I have no idea." The following season, the true story is told in flashback. It turns out everyone was wrong, though each story had a grain of truth (except Hank's, which was completely off the wall). Oddly enough, Billy's claim not to know his own story was also true. "Operation P.R.O.M." features the revelation that Dr. Venture's nickname is actually a horribly disgusting sex act. Despite this, pretty much everybody has a different, lengthy definition of what constitutes a "Rusty Venture", but the descriptions have enough common elements (pretty much all of them involve some variety of scat) that it seems like they could have come from a single source. The creators have suggested that there isn't a "real answer"; the important part is that a show about a little boy having adventures somehow originated a sex move so gross and so legendary that its details are lost to myth. For their part, the fanbase seems to have decided that Brock's definition ("the name for when you jerk off so much, your dick gets all red and sore") sounds like the most fitting for Doc.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_a46c9a7a	comment	X-Men features this over two different comics. In House and Powers of X, we see a flashback from Moira's perspective, showing how she invented a mutant cure in one life. This lead to Destiny show up to destroy the cure and prevent mutants from being eliminated. Despite Moira saying she won't force the cure on anyone, Destiny and Mystque murder Moira's colleagues, taunt Moira and eventually murder the distraught woman by burning her alive. However, when we see the scene in Inferno (2021), several small changes paint the scene differently: Moira doesn't spare any words for her fallen colleagues, doesn't make any remark about not forcing the cure on anyone, and actively celebrates making a cure. Destiny is also doesn't taunt Moira in this version, and she kills Moira in the hopes of motivating her to change her ways in her next life. It's heavily implied that Inferno shows the true course of events, and that the original memories were just Moira's own edited and curated version of the events, told to Xavier in order to make her look more sympathetic.

Which character's route is canon and which ending they get are usually left ambiguous. This is particularly egregious in Imperishable Night, where, presumably, nearly the same events have to happen at least twice in a row for the True Final Boss to be truly defeated (since you have to play one game being diverted and fight the regular Final Boss first). Scarlet Weather Rhapsody is built around this, where playing different characters is not mutually exclusive plotlines, but apparently sequential plots that merely repeat similar battles over and over. It is because Tenshi seemingly goes out of her way to repeatedly get defeated in No Holds Barred Beatdowns. The timeline for Scarlet Weather Rhapsody shows that all routes, fights and endings happen together.

Elizabeth then takes the stand in her own defense, presenting herself as a good and noble woman who was a victim of unfortunate circumstance and slander and tried desperately to provide for her family and servants in the wake of her husband's death. Finally, the story is retold from the perspective of Elizabeth's friend George Thurzo, who is tormented by the circumstances of the crimes, his decision to send four of Elizabeth's servants to the fire to protect his friend's reputation, and Elizabeth's suspicious refusal to deny the rumours about her.

After Mission 25 (mostly involved in the plot of Getter G, including a Duel Boss fight with Mecha Tekkouki Oni, and some Aquarion plot, the group splits in three. One group consists firmly of Roger Smith, R. Dorothy Wainright, and Norman. One group decides to strike on their own (this being the cast of Overman King Gainer, Combat Mecha Xabungle, After War Gundam X, Getter Robo G, Genesis of Aquarion, Eureka Seven, Space Warrior Baldios, and Super Dimension Century Orguss), while the other joins ZAFT (this group consisting of the Minerva crew of SEED Destiny, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, Zambot 3, ∀ Gundam, Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, God Sigma, and Gravion) Roger's small party meets up with the "striking out on their own" group eventually, and Duke Fleed eventually does as well. You actually have no choice as to which group you go with — if you chose Rand at the start, you get the "strike out on your own" group, while Setsuko gets the "join ZAFT" route. There's even a route split inside that split! What makes it an example - as well as interesting - is that soon after you split you start getting odd accounts of the other side being needlessly violent - killing, destroying, and generally being evil. In Mission 39, both sides collide into one massive fight, the aftermath of which having your team realize that BOTH accounts they heard were false - they were both being manipulated into fighting the other (Incidentally, the main reason they realize this is due to timely intervention of Banjo Haran, who managed to not only save both teams from destroying each other but also freed Orson from his somewhat-captivity. Upon realizing they were tricked, the teams come together and enter the third arc - a massive Rage Against the Heavens/Roaring Rampage of Revenge on everyone who tricked them, as well as the villains to the galaxy.

There was a minor subversion in that the first two stories were so over the top, nobody believed them. The police officer then asked if someone could tell him what happened without trying to sound like Indiana Jones. Everyone pointed to Balki.

Regine is creating a raisin cookie recipe for a contest, and Khadijah shares that the secret to her grandma's famous raisin cookies was prune juice. Later, when she tastes Regine's prize-winning cookies, she accuses Regine of stealing grandma's recipe. Regine denies the theft. Regine's story paints Khadijah as a gruff belligerent thug, while Khadijah's story makes Regine out to be a snooty Rich Bitch. Both ladies pretend they themselves were perfectly innocent and agreeable. The one constant in both stories is that Maxine comes over in the middle of the baking, says, "I'm too lazy to cook for myself, so I'm gonna mooch off you guys," and helps herself to plum sauce for her Chinese food. Not only is Max the one constant in each story, but she turns out to be the culprit all along; when she came over to mooch Chinese food, she inadvertently spilled plum sauce all in Regine's cookie dough, thus lending the cookies a pronounced prune flavor.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic Adventure: This game uses a downplayed version. It has six different main storylines which intersect every so often, and at every intersection point, the dialogue is slightly different between the versions used in each character's story. In some cases, this reflects the point of view of the characters: for example, Dr. Eggman is a card-carrying Large Ham in Sonic's story, but in Tails's story, he's significantly more threatening and subdued. Usually, the events and outcomes remain the same, but sometimes they'll play out slightly differently to reflect the character you're playing as. A good example is the battle against E-102 Gamma. In Sonic and Tails's storylines, the character you're playing as is about to beat Gamma, but Amy steps in to stop him. In Gamma's storyline, Gamma is about to beat Sonic, but Amy stops him instead. Amy's storyline goes with Sonic's interpretation of events, but with Gamma still holding ground beforehand. In Sonic Adventure 2, it's debatable who won the character-on-character boss fights. Most of the cutscenes treat them as stalemates anyway, with two important exceptions being the final battles between Eggman and Tails and Sonic and Shadow. The endings of the Dark and Hero pathways contradict each other as a result, but both of them plausibly set up the Last Story. In the Hero storyline, Tails defeats Eggman in revenge for Sonic's apparent death, while Sonic sends Shadow off to lick his wounds. Eggman still manages to sneak away with the last Chaos Emerald and place it into the cannon's console off-screen, but Sonic destroys the cannon before it can fire. Success! Right? In the Dark storyline, Eggman defeats Tails, Shadow prevents Sonic from reaching the Eclipse Cannon, and Eggman's plan goes off without a hitch! So what's with the siren? With Sonic Heroes using the simple storytelling style similar to the classic games, it's difficult to determine which team encountered Eggman (Metal Sonic in disguise) and defeated him in the three boss fights and which team won the team battles. Despite this, Metal Sonic still copied the Chaos data of Froggy and Chocola in Team Rose's ending and copied Shadow's data in the middle of Team Dark's story while the Chaotix learn that the real Eggman was locked up in a room by Metal Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) tries to stick to a straight Once More, with Clarity style of storytelling, but whenever two of the playable characters' stories intersect, things get fuzzy. Notably, both Sonic and Shadow confront Silver, but whoever's being controlled by the player has to win before the story can advance (averting Hopeless Boss Fight). And when Sonic and Shadow encounter Iblis, whichever one you're playing as does the fighting while the other stays in the background.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_b4fe32c9	comment	In the Invader Zim episode named after Dib's favorite TV show, Dib and Zim end up on the titular Show Within a Show to give their viewpoints on a piece of footage by Dib catching Zim and GIR out of costumes on tape, and end up bringing in Gaz and an anonymous bystander called "Stacy" (who is definitively not GIR with his face blurred by the programme) who also give their viewpoints. Dib presents the footage as a dramatic 'human foils alien's sinister ploy' with Gaz as a Neutral Female. Zim's version has Dib being a bully who blackmails Zim with fake footage for his lunch money. Gaz presents the entire scene as Dib and Zim being drooling morons incapable of anything but grunting noises (but most likely presents the real reason why the tape ended prematurely; she kicked Dib in the shin). And GIR tells a wonderful tale about a giant squirrel. We'd tell you how it ends, but you wouldn't believe us. Issue 39 of the continuation comics does something similar, as an alien observing Earth abducts Zim, GIR, Dib, and Gaz to his ship, due to them being the only beings present when his exploratory probe and its robot operator were destroyed, so that he can interrogate them on what happened, via putting them in a machine that plays their memories. Dib's memories show that Zim attacked his house in a Mini-Mecha made from random pieces of machinery, and when the robot showed up to meet Dib (due to detecting Tak's ship in his garage and determining it to be the most advanced technology on the planet), Zim took offense and destroyed the robot. In Zim's memories, he peacefully greeted the robot while in a much more advanced mech, only for Dib (whom he portrays as a drooling moron) to blow up the robot by accident. Gaz's memories show that she wasn't even paying attention to the fight at all. And GIR's memories... cause the memory machine to melt down and the alien's ship to explode.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_b5a2b326	comment	In Morrowind, the details of the Battle of Red Mountain and it's aftermath (the disappearance of the Dwemer, the death of Lord Nerevar, the ascension of the Tribunal and Dagoth Ur as Physical Gods, and the transformation of the Chimer people into the modern Dunmer) are recounted differently by each of the surviving parties — Dagoth Ur, Azura, the Tribunal Temple (which worships Vivec), Vivec (offering a different account than the Temple's version), the Ashlanders and the Dissident Priests. The Dissident Priests alone have several differing accounts — that is, one of the things they criticize the Temple for is being so sensitive about different accounts of the events at Red Mountain, so they've taken it upon themselves to gather as many different accounts as they can. They don't make any claim to know which account is true, though they phrase things in a way that make clear that they find something off about the Temple's story. Ultimately, even upon completing the main quest, you are never told what actually happened at that time. However, by speaking to all of those involved and doing your own research with in-game documents and books, you can at least rule a few of the options out. The only consistent story beats are that there was a battle, the Dwemer and Chimer were involved, the Dwemer disappeared, the Chimer found the heart of Lorkhan, Nerevar died, the Tribunal and Dagoth Ur became gods (betraying Nerevar to do so), and Azura got pissed and cursed the Chimer to become the Dunmer.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_b712435c	comment	Leverage: The episode "The Rashomon Job" is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a news broadcast on a famous antique dagger leads Sophie, Eliot, Hardison, and Parker to realize that they were all at the museum on the night it was stolen five years earlier. Hilarity Ensues as they each recount their version of events, and their recollections of each other on the night in question are somewhat skewed (Hardison seems to remember "Dr." Eliot as a psychopathic killer, and no one is able to get Sophie's accent straight), but they all ultimately agree on the sequence of events, and in the end, none of them came away with the dagger. Nate then reveals that he was there on the night in question as an investigator for the insurance company; the dagger literally fell into his hands by accident, and it provided the evidence he needed to prove that the museum owner was committing insurance fraud. The dagger had been reported stolen so the fence he had been using wouldn't spook and run. (He also depicts the tenacious security chief who threatened to bring the Leverage crew's efforts to ruin as actually a lovestruck buffoon upset with himself that he missed his chance to confess his feelings to the disguised Sophie, but it's implied that this is in reaction to Sophie claiming the man might have been even smarter than Nate himself; Word of God says that Nate's version of the events is "about 80% accurate.")One twist used in this version is that the actor playing each character doesn't appear in any of the retellings until that character tells his or her version of events. So, for example, there's a blonde waitress who appears in every version of the story who turns out to be Parker, but before Parker tells her version the waitress isn't played by Beth Riesgraf. Nate also manages to spin the fact that they all foiled each other as An Aesop about how his crew is better working with one another than against, as the team was starting to crack under the larger Story Arc. The series finale "The Long Goodbye Job," although it's not made immediately obvious to the audience, makes use of a similar structure. It opens In Medias Res with Nate in custody after a job gone wrong; the first version shown is Nate's explanation of what happened. The woman he's telling the story to does not believe he's telling the truth and presents a second version before a final reveal shows what really happened and that almost everything about Nate's original version of the story was a lie and the job is still in progress. Like "The Rashomon Job," this episode also employs Cast as a Mask to hide things from the audience, in this case obscuring Sophie and Nate's particular roles in the con.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_b8d8ef94	comment	The Emperor's New School had an episode where Kuzco is accused of stealing a valuable mask he was supposed to be guarding. The events of the theft get told from the point of view of different characters, with each sequence being animated in the current narrator's doodling style. Kuzco is obviously an Unreliable Narrator who is telling a lot of lies to make himself sound better, and he claims that the Top God of their religion came in and took the mask, which nobody believes. The events are shown again from the perspective of Kronk, Malina, and Yzma. Kronk is more honest than Kuzco and spends too much time talking about unimportant details. Kronk was ordered by Yzma to steal the mask and frame Kuzco for it but forgot to do it. Malina's story is cut short by her skipping to the part where she accuses Yzma of being the thief though she didn't actually see it happen. Yzma tells a ton of lies about what she was doing on the night of the theft. It is then revealed there was actually another security guard watching the mask who claims that Kuzco really was telling the truth about a god taking the mask. Then the god shows up and reveals himself to be Pacha in a costume, who then explains why he took the mask.

In Krabs' version, the falling out was due to Plankton going mad with the power being the only decent burger joint in town gave him over the other kids, prompting a fight that resulted in the formula torn in half and Plankton kicking Krabs out with a booby trap. In Plankton's version, the falling out was due to Krabs being overcome with greed, and Plankton's the one to get kicked out. He also reveals that his half of the recipe read 'a pinch of chum'. And finally, according to Karen (who was a security system at that time), the fight was started when Plankton and Krabs' first and only customer dies of apparent food poisoning. Nobody is kicked out, rather Plankton storms out and slams the door, resulting in various unspecified ingredients falling into the patty mix, creating the present Krabby Patty formula (the old formula is apparently the slop sold at the Chum Bucket).

"Rashomon"-Style / int_bcadd7cb	comment	The Dark Angel Chapter's history in Warhammer 40,000 has two distinctly different perspectives. From the Loyalists' point of view, the Fallen betrayed their Primarch Lion El'Johnson, and the Emperor, by staging a Traitor rebellion on their home planet while Loyalists were away fighting in the Horus Heresy. Having come home, El'Johnson was furious at seeing his planet seized from him, by his own forces no less, and bombed them into submission before a freak warp storm sparked into existence (probably sent from the Traitor's daemonic masters), and destroyed the besieged planet and whisked the surviving away. In the other version, some of the Fallen claim that they uncovered evidence that their Primarch wasn't as loyal to the Emperor as he appeared, and was deliberately holding back his forces to join the winning the side. The Fallen were then subsequently attacked and nearly exterminated in order to keep them quiet. The freak warp storm rose up, perhaps by chance or divine intervention, and saved the lives of the true loyalists. The novel Fallen Anges just makes things even more confusing. The soon-to-be-Fallen uncover a Chaotic conspiracy that has nothing to do with Lion El'Johnson. At the very end of the novel we get the Cult's view of events: they were intending to seal away the daemons, not summon them, and they may or may not be caught in the middle of a Frame-Up. After the cult's defeat, the planet of Caliban declares their independence from both the Imperium and El'Johnson, with a huge multitude of possible reasons as to why. As a matter of fact, this could apply to 40K's fluff as a whole, with all of it being written by the various factions (and allowing any continuity errors to be explained away as propaganda).

Each of them has different recollections on what happened, with their friends cheering them on, their opponent Deliberately Jumping the Gun and tripping them at the finish line, causing them to win the race anyway. Neither Piglet nor Pooh nor Eeyore remember who won the race, as Piglet had his head covered by Pooh's honey pot, Pooh was more focused on his empty honey pot than the race, and Eeyore was upset that neither Tigger nor Rabbit waited for him to say Go before running off. The Narrator eventually reveals what really happened; both Rabbit and Tigger were cheered on equally, they both ran off before Eeyore could say Go, and they both tripped on a rock, ending the race in a tie.

Twilight interviews them separately to find out what happened. Rarity claims Applejack came down with Ocean Madness and steered the boat straight into a storm. Pinkie Pie claims that Rarity acted like an Upper-Class Twit at the worst possible time, preventing Applejack from steering them out of the storm. And Applejack claims that she was distracted from steering the ship by Pinkie's over-the-top party antics. The truth isn't directly shown, but by cross-referencing all three stories, Twilight determines that all three of them are exaggerating how bad the storm was, and it wasn't anyone's fault for sinking the boat—a wild bunyip did that.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_c43df4d8	comment	Played with in Doctor Who stories featuring Omega, who blew up a star and gave the Time Lords the power source for time travel but was lost in the explosion. In the "Official" version Omega was lost accidentally. However other versions imply Rassilon, the founder of Time Lord society, was responsible. In Big Finish Doctor Who audio drama "Omega", it is claimed by Omega and others that Omega's assistant Vandekirian was responsible for the sabotage, but even Omega is unsure if Vanderkirian was working for Rassilon. During the same audio, Omega claims that he was responsible for murdering a race known as the Citellians when he destroyed their star, but it is ultimately revealed that this was the Fifth Doctor's "crime"; he was protecting another species from telepathic pirates and accidentally wiped out a race of pure thought in the process because he didn't know they were there, Omega inheriting the Doctor's memory of the crime due to him using the Doctor's biodata to restore his body..

In Raven's story, she's an absolutely perfect, kind, calm person while Cory is a horrible delinquent who throws candy, purposely sprays juice on Raven's shirt, pulls away from Raven as she hugs him, ripping his shirt, and ends up smashing the portrait over Raven's head out of malice. In Cory's version, Raven's an evil monstrosity while he's a perfect angel, and everything he did was in self-defense or Raven attacking him. Larry comes in and tells the real truth: a trophy falls onto the juice and stains Raven's shirt, Larry opens the bag of marshmallows badly and it explodes, Cory's shirt gets snagged on a hook, and Raven slips, causing the portrait to fall and Cory catches it. When Raven stands up, her head goes right through the picture.

In Snake's part, Pikeman is portrayed as a wuss, and he (Snake) claims he took out the Camp Campbell platypus mascot with only a broken candy cane. In Petrol's part, everyone speaks in grunts like he does, and they all act more open about their true feelings.

Nick's car is stolen — and with it all the evidence collected at a wedding where the groom's mother was murdered. The CSIs recount events to get their stories straight for when Internal Affairs questions them. Each start from listening to David the Coroner make a joke about the deceased and walking through an arch of flowers, and from there, things diverge. Sara injects her irritation with marriage, Nick thoroughly enjoys the atmosphere, Grissom waxes poetic about the floral arrangements, and Greg recalls events in film noir style. (Though the episode is actually Rashomon-style In Name Only; none of the investigators' memories or witnesses' statements actually contradict each other.)

"Rashomon"-Style / int_cf2d20a8	comment	Happens in the Johnny Bravo episode "Rashomoron". In Suzy's story, she's busy having a tea party with her dolls when Johnny tries to flirt with a hot girl, who rebuffs him. Johnny, in a huff, decides to hold his breath at the bottom of the lake until the girl agrees to date him, only to emerge shortly later, covered in pond scum and gasping for air. Carl sends his toy [RC] robot Sparkly to help, which results in Johnny tripping into a tree and disturbing a beehive. A unicorn appears to try and save Suzy, when Johnny comes to try and steal its horn to sell on the black market, only to get trampled for his trouble. In Carl's story, him, Johnny, and (a now human-sized) Sparkly are playing jump rope when the hot girl tries to seduce Johnny away, resulting in him falling into the lake. When Johnny emerges, Carl mistakes him for a lake monster and sends Sparkly to attack. During the battle, one of Sparkly's eye beams hits a beehive, prompting the swarm to go warn a mounted police officer. The officer and his steed proceed to trample the 'monster'. In Johnny's story, Johnny (having just defeated a Ninja warlord) is propositioned by the hot girl, prompting him to dive into the lake to look for a black pearl as a gift. He emerges upon hearing the girl being menaced by (a now monstrous) Sparkly. Thinking quickly, Johnny grabs a beehive and chucks it at Sparkly, driving him off. Unfortunately, just as the girl is swooning over Johnny, he proceeds to make an off-hand remark about having any girl he wants. Enraged, the girl summons a rabid wild burro to trample Johnny. Judging from all three stories, what presumably happened was Johnny tried flirting with a hot girl as always, then going into the lake for some reason (Suzy and Johnny's stories say that he went in on purpose). After emerging from the lake covered in pond scum, Carl mistook him for a lake monster and sends Sparkly to attack him. Their conflict setting off a beehive, and seeing how even Johnny's story includes it, he ends up getting trampled by a hoofed animal. At the end, the unicorn and toy Sparkly make an appearance, implying that Suzy's story was the closest.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_d46cc708	comment	The Ed, Edd n Eddy episode "Once Upon An Ed" featured each of the Eds giving his skewed explanation of how the three of them wound up in Jonny and Plank's bedroom wall. Eddy's is basically a Marty Stu fanfic where everyone worships and grovels at his feet, Edd's is so precise you can still see the angles and guide lines for the art and not only has Ed and Eddy dumber than usual, but they actually listen to his scoldings, and Ed's is a surreal affair where the Kankers turn into a giant monster by eating radioactive mashed potatoes and Ed fights them off with superpowers. Ironically enough, Ed's story was not only the most accurate to the character's personalities, but the only one to actually answer Jonny's question. note The Eds got in there to hide from the Kankers...who followed them into the wall. The other interesting thing about this is that when you take pieces of the Eds' ramblings, you can piece together what happened prior to the episode. note The Eds started a jawbreaker bank, Ed and Eddy screwed it up, and eventually, the Kankers showed up and chased the Eds until they went into Jonny's house to escape.

The different viewpoints were literal — if Kerry saw something from one angle, Mark saw it from another. Played straighter with the lawsuit of Curtis Ames (Forest Whitaker). When Ames tells of his treatment at the hospital everyone seems like huge Jerkasses, but during Luka's testimony, everyone is professional and caring.

"Perspective", features the main five Rangers giving alternate takes on a battle that happened while the satellite transmission from the command center was down and thus Commander Cruger couldn't see what happened. Each of them states that they were the one who truly saved the day, with a running gag of Green Ranger Bridge losing the count of how many Krybots he killed in each version (even in his own). At the end of the episode, the transmission is restored and it's shown what actually happened: they were outnumbered when the main monster called for more Krybots and were saved by a mysterious floating ball of light (that in the next episode is revealed to be the Omega Ranger Sam). Due to budget issues, the various takes of the story use the same fight footage with minimal edits and dialogue changes.

Information about the setting's backstory varies wildly depending on which route you're playing. However, adding up all three routes together reveals the same events happened the same way.

Every member steps forward in turn to tell their version of events, either glorifying themselves, demonizing others, or both. Except for Calvin, who just turns the story into a spy drama, which then goes completely Off the Rails. The basic plot is that the gang was chasing down a mysterious, potentially sentient orb. Also, none of them explain whatever happened to the bathroom, though it was enough to leave Elliot in shock.

Strong Bad and several other characters then relate widely divergent versions of what happened. Strong Bad claims he cut the hole in the couch to hide his "Aztec gold", but had to close it up again when he unleashed "a stench of biblical proportions". Strong Sad claims that the patch covers up graffiti from when Strong Bad was a kid and had a crush on Olympic runner Carl Lewis, who he assumed was a woman for some reason. Homestar... forgets what everyone else was talking about, and talks about spitting Teddy Grahams on the ceiling before Strong Bad points out that the patch is already visible in the flashback. (He thought the subject of the email was "Teddy Graham Memories".) Finally, an "anonymous" figure (who is clearly Coach Z with a digitally altered voice) claims the patch covers up a hole in the couch which he puked into after eating some bad gumbo Strong Bad made.

Nathaniel's Badass Longcoat outfit at the beginning of the second book. Whereas Nathaniel thinks that it is, well, badass, Bartimaeus finds it completely ridiculous and Kitty proclaims it kind of stupid, though it is not clear if she just says this because she hates magicians in general or because the outfit really is stupid. Bartimaeus' illusions of grandeur are dashed by the third-person (and therefore more accurate) narration of Nathaniel or Kitty, though of course he's always damn cool, whether he calmly asks the whiny boy to "please be quiet" or shrieks at him to "shut up!".

A combination of cultural bias and historical distortion results in the crew being portrayed as violent, immoral thugs responsible for slaughtering innocents, including a heroic leader. When they find and reactivate a backup module for The Doctor's program, he is able to add a new perspective and set parts of the story straight. Even his account doesn't answer all of their questions, though. He knows that the crew weren't a bunch of mass-murdering thugs, and that the leaders of the two species weren't as black and white as history claims, but Voyager wasn't involved enough to understand the nuances of the conflict or pass judgment on those involved.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_f0a86c12	comment	In How I Met Your Mother, because Ted is (sometimes) an Unreliable Narrator, we sometimes see something from Ted's point of view only to have someone else explain what really happened. In one episode, Ted is dating a woman who he introduces to his friends. At first we see it from Ted's point of view - Said woman says a sentence, then one of his friends seems to interrupt her with a thinly veiled 'Shut up!'. Then, the other characters reveal that she talks a lot (something an enamoured Ted hadn't noticed), and we cut back to her talking and talking and talking... The St Patrick's Day episode had a subtler version: we see Ted go out with Barney and have a fun, carefree night, but the following day Marshall shows him accidental audio recordings of his conversations (he butt dialed Marshall and it went to voicemail). His dialogue during the night had a lighthearted attitude, but when reviewing the recordings he sounded a lot sleezier than he expected. In "As Fast as She Can", Barney claims that when he was pulled over by a hot female officer, she asked him to get out of the car so he could do her. Robin and Marshall know that he was lying, but he denies it, and Future Ted interrupts saying that what really happened was that same cop arrested Barney for numerous moving violations and he and Stella had to bail him out. "Oh Honey" has Marshall on the phone the entire time with different characters, learning how recent events transpired. Every scene is covered multiple times from different perspectives. At the end, he sets up a storyboard so he can go over everything with his mother and brother who, at different times, had been listening in. In "The Ashtray" Ted, Robin and Lily tell the others about running into "The Captain" (Kyle MacLachlan) at an art gallery and going to his apartment. In Ted's version, the Captain is still angry at Ted for dating his ex-wife and threatens him with a harpoon gun. In Robin's version, the Captain comes onto her the whole night. In Lily's story, which is the truth, Ted is stoned and Robin is drunk and the one coming onto the Captain. In all three Barney tries to inject himself in the story even though he wasn't there. Though oddly the Captain seems to corroborate Barney's story that he pulled a play on the cute art consultant that worked for the Captain. In "Zoo or False", there is a self-contradicting example. Marshall recounts the story of how he was mugged. When Lily starts talking about getting a gun, he changes the story to say he was actually mugged by a monkey. He goes on Robin's show to tell the story, but when the zookeeper also comes on and reveals that the monkey is to be released into the wild and be separated from its mate, Marshall says he was mugged by a human. When Lily reacts to this, he waffles back and forth several times before clamming up, and the truth is never settled. Though it's worth noting that the monkey story is not at all credible. "The Burning Beekeeper" borrows the structure of The Norman Conquests (see under Theatre below), with Ted telling the events of an evening one room at a time.

In this example, the characters' perspectives differed mainly in what they were able to see and how they interpreted certain lines of dialogue (as is the norm for misunderstandings on this show), rather than blatantly skewing things in their favor as in most comedic examples. "Shrink Rap", in which both brothers undergo 'couples' counseling and outline the events which have led to their most recent relationship collapse. In general, they have a tendency to present themselves as being a bit more wise, thoughtful, and put-upon than they probably would be in the real situation — and the other immediately calls them on it. There's also a rather amusing bit where Niles recounts a story Daphne told about a couple who would frequently experience The Immodest Orgasm right next to her bedroom wall at night and her over-the-top efforts to show them up, culminating in this exchange:

When her mother-in-law testifies, she describes two events that make the woman appear to be cheating and not caring at all that she was spending extravagantly, but when the woman testifies, she is much more sympathetic. She says she wasn't having an affair, and when she realized how much money she had spent she was ashamed and apologetic. In "I Saw the Whole Thing" multiple witnesses testify how they saw the defendant fail to stop his sports car at a stop sign, hit a motorcyclist, and then left the accident scene. One witness is revealed to be an alcoholic who was drunk at the time of the accident and really did not see what happened. A woman is revealed to have been distracted because her date was late and thus she did not really see anything and was just parroting what other people said happened. A seemingly reliable retired army colonel is revealed to have a strong bias against people driving sports cars because his son was struck and killed by a sports car. The driver of the car behind the sports car insists that the sports car did not stop but is proven to be confused about his own actions at the time. In the end another witness comes forward who states that he saw the accident from a different angle and that the sports car stopped and it was the motorcycle who was going too fast and failed to stop. After the driver is acquitted, he reveals to his friend that he has no idea what really happened since he was not driving the car. His pregnant wife was and she went into labor soon after she drove home from the accident scene. It was a very difficult birth and she was still bedridden in the hospital so he confessed to being the driver to spare her the stress of being arrested. None of the witnesses actually looked at who was driving and simply assumed that it was a man.

"Rashomon"-Style / int_ff9ab17f	comment	The Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "A Matter of Perspective" was a holodeck-aided version of this trope. Riker has one story; the people who think Riker murdered one of their scientists have another; and Deanna Troi tells Captain Picard that both sides are telling the truth, or rather what they believe is the truth. The actual truth does come out, but only because the holodeck recreates the crime scene almost exactly and is left on "crime scene." Also, all versions of the story have common threads that are consistent between them, and those threads also help lead to the truth. Riker is absolved of the murder, however, exactly what happened between Riker and the scientist's wife is left nebulous. The possibilities left open are her seducing him, him trying to rape her, and them mutually throwing themselves at each other. Sure, we know Riker as a ladies' man, but you never know... Or Riker and the wife simply misunderstood each other due to each perceiving the other's body language through their alien cultural viewpoint.
