Villain Takes an Interest	comment	So you have a pair of Arch-Enemies: a hero and a villain. And then... The villain gets interested in the hero. The hero and villain are very similar to each other, and both grow aware of that fact. But they have different reactions. While the villain genuinely wants to take the hero under their wing, the hero is opposed to any friendly interaction — but may fear the villain has a point. The kind of obsessive behavior and mind games this generates on both ends is a prime source of Foe Romance Subtext. If the hero and the enemy do end up becoming mentor and student, the ensuing relationship can range from the worst kind of Training from Hell to a downright parental role. Both will still probably end up at odds. And it'll end badly for at least one of them. The Hero will usually consider The Mentor to be their Arch-Enemy and be very personally devoted to taking them down; The Mentor character is typically more amused by this than anything, and may take the role of a Stealth Evil Mentor. The presence of this trope may lead to a Mind Game Ship, a Teacher/Student Romance, or both. Related to We Can Rule Together, but rather than offering a position, offers a study period. Note that this requires a mentoring role. A Worthy Opponent offering a team-up doesn't cut it.

Harry was nice one day and decided to give Peter a ride home instead of letting him walk through the rain. Harry's father, Norman, had heard of Peter's good grades and encouraged the friendship in the hopes that Peter would be a good influence.

Villain Takes an Interest / int_13888824	comment	In the Nevermoor series, Ezra Squall's primary motivation in most of his interactions with Morrigan is to convince her to let him become her Evil Mentor, insisting that he is the only one who can truly teach her how to master Wunder (which is actually true—not least because he murdered every other Wundersmith) and that he sees himself in her. He alternates between praising her abilities and strength, telling her she's better than everyone else at Wunsoc... and screaming abuse at her and reacting with anger whenever her good nature wins out over self-preservation. Why, exactly, he chose to spare Morrigan out of dozens of children who had Wundersmith abilities, letting her live and deciding she was going to be his heir, is a mystery.

Villain Takes an Interest / int_1a8ec53f	comment	In the Green Lantern comics, Sinestro has taken an interest in Soranik Natu, the current Lantern from his home planet of Korugar. Where Sinestro was hated for being a Knight Templar tyrant (and the next Korugarian Lantern, Katma Tui, was hated by proxy), Korugar is coming to love Soranik. Both are viewing the peoples' growing devotion to her as practically asking her to be a dictator herself, which Sinestro views as her bringing order where he can't anymore while Soranik is greatly troubled by it. And it's no help at all that Sinestro is Soranik's biological father.

Unlike other examples involving the Omnitrix or Ultimatrix, he also holds high interest in the individual transformations, particularly in the remake, as he is ecstatic to be given the withered arms of Swampfire and pieces of crystal made by Diamondhead after Ben's fight against Baraggan Louisenbairn. Eventually, he's able to use an arm from Four Arms that Grimmjow ripped off to create a Hollow version of a Tetramand, and plans to enter Ben's universe and explore the possibility of submitting other alien species to Hollowfication. Furthermore, he's later revealed to use the aforementioned arms and shards to create Hollow versions of a Petrosapien and Methanosian, which Aizen sics on the heroes during his invasion of Fake Karakura Town.

Villain Takes an Interest / int_28df3e79	comment	In the There Was Once an Avenger From Krypton story From His Vantage Upon the Moon, Victor von Doom would have requested Reed Richard to overlook Earth-10000 (the Ben 10 universe) for fusing into the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to how volatile it was. However, he allows it since the Omnitrix would prove a viable weapon against the Mad Titan Thanos. He also takes an interest in bringing in the Kara Zor-El from Earth-16, who died in the destruction of her Krypton and would be the closest hero they would have to a powerhouse like Superman. A post would confirm that the other series infused with the Kryptonverse were deliberately chosen by Doom and Reed because of valuable powers, races, and innovation to protect Earth from Thanos. Of the examples given, the Omnitrix and Voltron brought as weapons for humanity, the world's of Big Hero 6 and Mass Effect to increase technological development, the Diamonds to act as Earth's defense by their desire to protect Steven, the Dragon Balls and the Miraculouses brought in to wish back the lives lost to Thanos, and the gods of the Riodanverse to increase Earth's defense.

The price is that anyone who accepts, will have to face her in a Duel to the Death one year after they leave her tutelage.

When the player character faces him in a battle for the first time, it's a Hopeless Boss Fight and he easily defeats them. In a rematch, later on, the player character has grown stronger but still loses to Zenos. Zenos has then taken quite an interest with them, seeing their potential strength and encourages them to keep fighting and to grow stronger. By the third fight, the player character is evenly matched and Zenos is very ecstatic seeing his opponent being able to stand up to him. After the final fight against him, Zenos loses but is satisfied that he found a Worthy Opponent and calls the player character his friend before slicing his throat to kill himself. Thanks to Zenos having an artificial Echo, he does not die and hijacks a soldier's body to continue his obsession with hunting down the player character in order to have the biggest battle the world would ever know.

In ages past, he seduced the First Dragonborn, Miraak, into becoming his champion in exchange for great power. In the main quest of the Dragonborn DLC, Mora orchestrates the situation as such to allow Miraak to think he could plot against Mora in Apocrypha, using the opportunity to secretly groom the Last Dragonborn as his replacement, and thusly allowed Miraak to become a threat the Last Dragonborn could not ignore. The Last Dragonborn foils Miraak's plans, Mora kills Miraak in a combination Impaled with Extreme Prejudice/You Have Outlived Your Usefulness killing, and the Last Dragonborn takes Miraak's place as Mora's champion, whether he/she likes it or not.

When Griffith starts the Eclipse, Zodd accepts the Skull Knight's request to interrupt their duel when he sees it'll save Guts. And later still, when Guts is prevented from taking a ship by Emperor Ganishka's attack, Zodd and Guts more or less willingly team up to send him back despite Zodd now being The Dragon to Griffith.

Because of this, he orders all of his servants, from the Twelve Demon Moons to even minor followers, to actually capture Tanjiro should they ever find him. Hearing from Akaza how the latter was overpowered by Tanjiro's Blood Demon Art actually makes Muzan want to capture him all the more if he's become strong enough to repel an Upper Moon, to the point he's too busy laughing to punish Akaza for his failure. He briefly succeeds in getting Tanjiro to his lair and injecting him with his blood before Tanjiro escapes, with Nezuko and Zenitsu helping Tanjiro come to his senses before he can eat anyone. Losing Daki and Gyutaro doesn't even faze Muzan unlike in canon because he now intends to replace them with Tanjiro as soon as he captures and brainwashes him.

From the Moon arc onward, he started to respect the younger Wu and his power more and more, to the point that during the Humanization Ritual he claims he would have preferrd to have Yakumo serving under him and warns him to release his Juuma summons if he doesn't want to die after losing his Wu status.

Villain Takes an Interest / int_a7bb2a13	comment	Mega Man ZX Advent: The Big Bad has his entire plan unfold down to the smallest detail (it's implied that the plot of the last game went exactly as he intended it to, though who won between The Hero and the villain there could have gone either way as far as he cared), but he never saw Ashe coming, mostly because she was never supposed to be a Mega Man - she can only megamerge because she has Albert's blood as his descendant. This surprises Albert, but he notes that it makes his plan more interesting, anyway, so he decides to enjoy himself watching her progress. Interestingly, if the other protagonist is chosen, Albert is far more dismissive, since Grey, while not a foe Albert accounted for, was still a factor in the first place and thus nothing new to him. It actually gets taken a step further, as the Co-Dragons also take an interest in each of the protagonists. Prometheus likes Ashe's spirit and feels they're exactly alike due to what he thinks are similar motivations, eventually coming to view her as a Worthy Opponent. Pandora, meanwhile, is the least dismissive of Grey out of all the major antagonists, and even gives him a little bit of insight into the duo's motivations.

Villain Takes an Interest / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Terra and Kefka in Dissidia Final Fantasy. Zenos in the Stormblood story of Final Fantasy XIV conquered both Ala Mhigo and Doma, but finds that Victory Is Boring since neither nation was able to put up much of a fight. When the player character faces him in a battle for the first time, it's a Hopeless Boss Fight and he easily defeats them. In a rematch, later on, the player character has grown stronger but still loses to Zenos. Zenos has then taken quite an interest with them, seeing their potential strength and encourages them to keep fighting and to grow stronger. By the third fight, the player character is evenly matched and Zenos is very ecstatic seeing his opponent being able to stand up to him. After the final fight against him, Zenos loses but is satisfied that he found a Worthy Opponent and calls the player character his friend before slicing his throat to kill himself. Thanks to Zenos having an artificial Echo, he does not die and hijacks a soldier's body to continue his obsession with hunting down the player character in order to have the biggest battle the world would ever know.

Van Kleiss himself supplied that he would be happy if Rex was a vegetable as long as he was still breathing. Unlike some other examples, Rex takes advantage of this without entering such a relationship. In the episode "Alliance" Rex uses guile and half-truths to undermine Van Kleiss in various ways. Most notable of them is getting Circe to defect from the Pack. Circe was convinced that Van Kleiss wants to take Rex in like he did with her. So when Rex is forced into an arena with No-face for a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown, Rex makes it clear to the onlooking Circe that Van Kleiss places no value on him other than his life.

Unfortunately, he greatly underestimated said rival and was subsequently killed and sent to hell for his troubles. By the end of the fic, Aizen came to hate Lelouch so much that his two main priorities were: Kill the Soul King and take his place. Screw over Lelouch as much as possible.

The first inklings of it appear all the way back in the third chapter, but it's not until chapter 47 that the two meet face to face and immediately attempts to earn Ariel's favor. It ultimately fails because Kalki attacks Ariel, and Snadhya is so incensed by this that she later murders Kalki in cold blood for disrupting her and outliving her usefulness. Previously this method had worked flawlessly when Snadhya recruited her other "proteges" or students who showed unique abilities, including Mel'arnach Val'Sarghress, Ariel's sister (actually her mother).

Villain Takes an Interest / int_d97e4fa5	comment	In the Ensemble Stars! main story, Eichi genuinely thinks very highly of Trickstar's skill. In particular, he tries to recruit Hokuto and Subaru for his top-tier unit fine, as he believes there he could truly bring out their full potential. (It also has the added benefit of converting the current biggest enemies to fine, but he isn't lying about any of this, either.) Subaru rejects him immediately, as Eichi assumed his love of money means that he would be easily tempted by greed, but Subaru actually just likes shiny coins and has no interest in becoming wealthy. Hokuto is much more troubled, as his parents are both celebrities in the entertainment industry, and joining a high-level unit like fine seems like the logically 'correct' decision to follow their legacy. When he does (temporarily) join, Eichi seems to be genuinely trying to mentor him, teaching him that betrayal and sabotage are the only way to be successful in the entertainment industry. Naturally, Hokuto echoes this statement back when he switches back to Trickstar.

Villain Takes an Interest / int_fcf34eec	comment	Gauron/Sousuke in Full Metal Panic!. The first time Gauron saw Sousuke, Sousuke was acting like a Creepy Child and throwing the dead bodies of all the soldiers he killed into a fire. And Gauron, being a messed up Ax-Crazy Psycho for Hire, took an instant liking to Sousuke. He asked Sousuke to come with him (with definite overtones of "there's candy in my van"), but Sousuke (wisely) refused. It's just too bad that Gauron isn't the type to take no for an answer and continues to mess with him any chance he gets.

Villain Takes an Interest / int_fd0d816b	comment	Your Heart a Haven of Thorns: Danzo didn't pay much attention to Sakura, even after she became part of Team Seven alongside Naruto and Sasuke. But after she comes out of the Forest of Death missing an arm and with a new tiger summons, and shows off some surprising abilities during the preliminary matches of the Chuunin Exams, he immediately orders one of his lackies to start spying on her, musing that "a lowly pawn on the board had suddenly been upgraded to a queen".

The Golden Guard sees Luz, the new All For One user, as ripe for the molding her into becoming the liberator of The Boiling Isles from his Evil Uncle, though he's more of an Anti-Villain.
