I wanted to say famous last words but since they usually work out for anime or JRPG folk, I will let it slide :D
Because destiny. And destiny proved time and time again to be highly deterministic system with maybe fate being even more so ;)
Yeah, I love anime, but I don't like when they get too "tropey" (I don't think that's a word, but I'm gonna use it!) and become caricatures of themselves. I mean, I enjoy tropes, so long as it's pulled off successfully and not just pandering.
