Was It All a Lie?	comment	One of the goodies has just been betrayed by The Mole, whom they let get very close. They ask The Mole, "Was it all a lie? Everything?" Three responses are common: A cold blooded "Yes, you fool, and you took it hook, line and sinker." "It was real, and in another world, we could have been happy together". "It was... at first." Of course, any of these responses can be a disguise for another (either keeping one's options open just in case or burning bridges to let their victim get over the betrayal). "I'm sorry it had to end like this" is a common additional Stock Phrase, particularly with the second response. The third is related to Et Tu, Brute?.

Was It All a Lie? / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: SÅ�suke Aizen probably takes the cake for stabbing Hinamori while hugging and praising her, as well as betraying everyone in Soul Society (who adored him) after revealing the fact that he has always been against them. Shuuhei Hisagi asks his former captain and mentor TÅ�sen if everything he taught him and all his talk of justice was just a lie. TÅ�sen responds by stabbing him. However, TÅ�sen also happens to be a case of Villains Never Lie: he believed every word of what he said. Unfortunately for Hisagi, TÅ�sen's "justice" involved working with Aizen against Soul Society to avenge his deceased friend. Fortunately, Hisagi manages to reconcile with TÅ�sen during the latter's final moments, and continues to hold him in high esteem long after his death. When Ichigo confronts Zangetsu about the truth of his power, he asks this question. Old Man Zangetsu is his Quincy power masquerading as his zanpakutou spirit which is the Inner Hollow. Old Man Zangetsu states the only thing he ever lied about was his name, and Ichigo realises that both his Inner Hollow and the Old Man are equally Zangetsu. Liltotto Lamperd, after Yhwach performs the AuswÃ¤hlen (Holy Selection) on the loyal Sternritter still in Soul Society for his own ends more or less screams this at him, asking what they really were to him. He replies with something along the lines of "We're comrades, are we not? And comrades help each other." Though given how much of a Bad Boss Yhwach is, it doesn't comes off as genuine.

When Hyuuga fights his Broken Pedestal Indra, he mentions the trope, and Indra's reply is basically... a Type 2, instead of the Type 1 Hyuuga expected. Paraphrased: "No. I never lied. When I said I wanted to protect Tenkuukai, I meant it. But my duty now is to destroy it."

Was It All a Lie? / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: Flipped around and played with in Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem. In Chapter 16x, when Katarina reappears she tries to convince Kris that their time together as recruits in the 7th Platoon was all a lie, but it's very much clear she's just trying to convince herself of it. At that point she is so conflicted about her feelings that she actually is hoping to die in that battle, thinking that it's the only way to atone for her sins. Kris however convinces her otherwise. Late in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, it is revealed that Rudolf lied to Berkut his whole life and let him drive himself mad to prove himself worthy of being heir apparent, fully intending to place Rigel in his long-lost son Alm's hands after his death. This causes Berkut to begin questioning the motives of everyone around him, including Rudolf, guard captain Massena, and his fiancÃ©e Rinea. In regards to Rudolf, Massena claims to Alm that he truly loved him, but none of their on-screen interactions support this claim. Massena and Rinea are interesting cases in that not only do they clearly do care about Berkut's welfare, but neither of them were actually in on the lie in the first place — Massena indicates that he was only informed of the truth when Alm was right on their doorstep and asks Alm to have mercy on Berkut, and Rinea's "betrayal" was actually an attempt to console Berkut that he misinterpreted in his paranoid state of mind. Taking the Hoshido path sets Corrin against their foster brother Leo, who bluntly tells Corrin that despite what Corrin thought was a close relationship, the truth is that he's always resented them for being the centre of attention, and he's perfectly fine with striking them down now that they're a traitor. Corrin, shocked and deeply hurt, demands word-for-word this trope. In answer, Leo attacks. The truth, though? No, their relationship wasn't a lie. Leo was jealous sometimes, but never resentful. He loved Corrin then and still does now. Once he's defeated, he admits this, and helps Corrin on their way before retreating for the rest of the game.

In the third season, the two peoples have a temporary truce against a common enemy, but then Teleya becomes the Krill Supreme Chancellor in "Gently Falling Rain," nullifies the agreement, and captures the party who was hoping to sign a more permanent treaty, including Ed. Ed tries several times to appeal to Teleya on this basis, asking if nothing got through to her during their time together. For her part, Teleya is willing to at least try to save Ed personally because he saved her, but nothing more than that.

In Nikitathe main character of Alex is set up to be the mole from the very start, and we see it all from her point of view. There is a very dramatic "Was everything just a lie?!" moment coming from a more minor character, Thom, directed at the main character of Alex mid-way through the first season - it is a very intense scene that does involve a gun and is perfect fodder for a mid-season finale with a lot of drama.

Was It All a Lie? / int_36de2da	comment	Loved and Lost: Twilight Sparkle's Corrupt the Cutie process is based entirely on the machinations of Prince Jewelius, who gets her to trust him by acting understandingly toward her while she gets the cold shoulder from everyone else close to her, and then isolating her from her loved ones and claiming that they never truly cared about her. However, while Twilight vents out her feelings of anger and hurt toward her former loved ones, attempts to disown them, and does little to help them out of their status as despised pariahs, they still keep trying to appeal to her better nature, and Celestia in particular gives her and everypony else a touching apology when the alicorn faces a Public Execution. Further doubt is seeded when Chrysalis tells her the same Cassandra Truth that she refused to listen to from the exiled heroes, namely that Jewelius is a manipulative sociopath who won't hesitate to get rid of her once he's gotten all he can out of her, as he did with Chrysalis herself. As Jewelius' questionable ruling style causes her and the citizens to start doubting him, particularly due to his focus on the exiles instead of the escaped Changeling army which they have much bigger concerns about, Twilight eventually gets the Evil Prince to finally confirm to Twilight that he really is exactly as horrible as had been previously claimed, and that their one-sided relationship was based on nothing but a cruel, bald-faced lie. This is the beginning of the end for Jewelius' Short-Lived Leadership, for the chain of events that follows costs him the support of everypony he manipulated, starting with Twilight cutting all ties with him, escaping to Ponyville, and reconciling with her friends, brother, and mentor.

She answered that they were living in a false world, even though earlier, out of his earshot, she had admitted that she really loved him. The truth could actually be both, depending on what you think of her. Namely, if you buy the theory that Anew was a Manchurian Agent, rather than a Mole who Became The Mask.

Was It All a Lie? / int_3e8c09b9	comment	In Attack on Titan, Connie and Jean confront Reiner and Bertolt with this after learning of their betrayal. The friendship was real, but Bertolt claims their actions were necessary even if he knows they can never be forgiven. As it turns out, Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie were aware the whole time that the inhabitants of the walls were NOT the last of humanity as everyone else believed. They were the same race as the wall inhabitants (Eldians), but had lived in ghettos in the neighboring country, known as Marley, which was seeking revenge against the Eldians of the walls, which were on an island called Paradis. The trio, and others, were thoroughly indoctrinated to believe that the islanders were evil and that it was their duty to steal their King's (now Eren's) Titan power and wipe them out so that the Eldians living on Marley could be forgiven for their past injustices against the Marleyans of old. Upon arriving on the island, however, they, Reiner especially, realized that the islanders were people just like them, but they were so thoroughly dedicated to advancing the Eldians on Marley that they went through with their mission, anyway, even as they now knew that they were iredeemable monsters for inciting what essentially amounted to a genocide of the walls.

She admits that yes, everything was an act, since she is an actress playing a fragile, upbeat schoolgirl, going so far as to bottle up all the pain and anger she felt from having self-implanted her tentacles and being so close to the creature she always thought was her sister's murderer, all for the sake of her role. He manages to get through to her, though, by making her realize that her experiences with her classmates, in particular her love for Nagisa, were too real to just be an act.

She was raised by a family of Newton Wolves, and she developed a sisterly bond with the youngest of their pups. But when she time came for the pups to be initiated as a pack, she was designated to be their prey on their first hunt; and to further twist the knife, her supposed friend told her that there wasn't anything between them because "We're wolves, you're human". This painful memory has made it hard for her to trust anyone, especially Mutes, and it even briefly damages her friendship with Kipo when she finds out that she's half-Mute.

It's heavily implied that this question must've crossed Zuko's mind, contributing to his Conflicting Loyalties, when he learned on multiple occasions that everyone else viewed the Fire Nation as a tyrannical oppressor — in other words, everything he had been taught about his homeland before being exiled was nothing but propaganda on the Fire Nation's part to make itself look good.

AgnÃ¨s asks if all the hardships they went through and the friendship they developed were all lies. The answer is a pained cry for help, for a demon is controlling her and she can't do anything about it. AgnÃ¨s is initially shocked, but then it turns into a cruel type 1, as that was a lie too, and Airy has no remorse whatsoever for what she has done.

So Mr. Smith asks this question of Mrs. Smith over the phone, as they're both driving towards a mutually agreed upon location wherein they'll try to kill each other. Mrs. Smith calmly assures her husband that it was indeed 'strictly business, nothing personal'— and as soon as he hangs up, breaks down crying at herself, as she was lying the entire time.

This causes Berkut to begin questioning the motives of everyone around him, including Rudolf, guard captain Massena, and his fiancÃ©e Rinea. In regards to Rudolf, Massena claims to Alm that he truly loved him, but none of their on-screen interactions support this claim. Massena and Rinea are interesting cases in that not only do they clearly do care about Berkut's welfare, but neither of them were actually in on the lie in the first place — Massena indicates that he was only informed of the truth when Alm was right on their doorstep and asks Alm to have mercy on Berkut, and Rinea's "betrayal" was actually an attempt to console Berkut that he misinterpreted in his paranoid state of mind.

Let's not forget the anime's second season, after the Black Knights betray Lelouch and Kallen is left believing Lelouch's response along the lines of the first example at the top. It was a lie, of course. Kallen didn't completely believe it, either, because as she walked away, she heard Lelouch say "Kallen, you have to live." It was later on, when she kisses Lelouch to see what he really feels, and his face remains expressionless, that she decides to believe it and sever ties with him. "Then, goodbye, Lelouch." "Then, it is goodbye, Kallen." (Kallen didn't hear him say that, and the viewers don't get to see Lelouch's face when he says that.) However, she still had enough belief in Lelouch to understand the Zero Requiem, and what Lelouch was trying to achieve with it. In the end, she realises it wasn't a lie. On a lesser note, Emperor Charles asks his brother whether or not he knew about Marianne, Lelouch, and Nunally turning into Britannia's greatest threat. Vivi responds with continued denial, claiming he just found out recently. By this point, Charles knows his brother has been undermining his authority, and this continued Compulsive Liar behavior confirms his brother doesn't want to stop The Evils of Free Will, but outright relishes in them, and murders him.

To an extent Ethan Mars can accuse Madison Paige of something similar to this, should they be romanced. After discovering that she is actually a journalist who has been following up on his case, he angrily rebukes her for taking advantage of his situation. She claims that her feelings for him were real, and the player can choose whether or not to forgive her.

Was It All a Lie? / int_aba7ffb9	comment	The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - throughout the game, Crow Armbrust has been a key part of events in the game, helping with organizing Class VII's role in the school festival and even joining the party. Then things go down in the final chapter and it turns out that he's the masked terrorist leader C your party has been after the entire time and his goal all along was to kill the chancellor of Erebeonia. He tells Rean that C is who he really is, but Rean doesn't buy it, asking if he's expected to believe that everything they did together was just a lie, that it meant nothing. The sequel reveals that Crow was lying. At the end of the game, he pulls a Heelâ€“Face Turn and helps Class VII take down the final boss, dying in the process. And in his dying breath, he talks about how much their time together meant to him. The further sequels explore this even further, as he ends up being resurrected on a seemingly temporary basis, which the party later finds a way to make permanent.

She admits to Lily she was always like this, she was just faking it or in denial before. So, naturally, Lily has to wonder if any of their friendship is genuine, or if it ever was. (For her part, Amanda does seem genuinely attached to Lily, or at the very least, respects her and tries to help her out in her own way. So that's something.)

Changeling tries an I Know You're In There Somewhere with her, only to get cruelly laughed off. Terra digs the knife in further by sneering that kissing him made her "want to puke." Despite this, poor Gar was still devastated by her death, and blamed himself for it to an extent. Top it off with the fact she was SHAGGING Deathstroke, who was actually a bit afraid of her. When Nightwing and Jericho show up, Terra believes she was betrayed and literally brings the house down on herself! Just to prove what True Companions they really are? They bury Terra as one of their own, memorialize her with a statue in their hall of fallen comrades, and keep as quiet as possible about her betrayal.

Was It All a Lie? / int_d461f757	comment	Averted many, many times on Battlestar Galactica. Although the premise of sleeper-agent Cylons hiding out in the fleet seems to make this inevitable, every major Reveal has instead had characters immediately assume it was all a lie first, then shoot, and ask questions later. In the Season 1 finale this happens with the Sharon on Caprica; Helo runs away, but Sharon convinces him she's undergone a Sexâ€“Face Turn. Early in Season 2, Chief Tyrol ignores Boomer's pleading, and only realizes that he believes her/doesn't care once she's been shot. In Season 4, a big deal is made out of Starbuck's identity, but no one seems to concern themselves with what she did before her death in Maelstrom or take the likely betrayal personally. Directly contrasted with the discovery of the Final Four in Season 4, one of which Adama takes very personally... once again, assuming immediately that it was all a lie and having to be convinced otherwise. For that matter, several of these Cylons who didn't know they weren't human have to convince themselves as well.

Teddy has zero doubts that Billy genuinely loves him; however, while Teddy never once questioned their relationship before, Loki puts the idea in his head that Teddy is just a bit too perfect and that Billy might have not only wished him into existence, but also manipulated his emotions. Teddy knows that Billy would never do anything like that intentionally, but Billy doesn't exactly have the best control over his powers. Later, it's revealed that Loki had been manipulating everyone from the very beginning, and it's heavily implied that he was lying about Teddy and Billy's relationship being... well, a lie, in order to separate Teddy from Billy and thus make manipulating Billy much easier.
