In Attack on Titan, this happens more than once.A recurring motif in Armitage III: the titular character feels like 'some kind of monstrous doll' for her robot nature, and has salt rubbed into those wounds by other characters repeatedly calling her a monster when they become aware of her non-humanity.SPOILERS AHOY for non-human and half-human characters. See You Monster! for when other characters consider the subject evil or an abomination. ' Be Yourself' may not be good advice here.Ĭompare Heel Realization. Once a character calls themselves a monster, they will most likely tell supporting characters to back off and stay away from them so that they won't be hurt or hurt further-unless they are a Card-Carrying Villain or a Fully-Embraced Fiend, in which case they will boast about how much of a monster they are. If a character utters My God, What Have I Done? (if they killed or hurt someone, for example), then this will very likely be followed up by I Am A Monster and the character declaring themselves not human for doing such a sinful act. This trope can also apply to non-human characters, as long as something about them makes them stick out compared to other characters who are the same race/species.

When the character is either not human or a Half-Human Hybrid, he may feel like a monster if others are scared of him or call him a freak. When a character feels he is not human, perhaps due to a certain situation that occurred, he may ask What Have I Become? and declare himself as a monster or a freak.
