Yami-ochi
Do you like situations where a right-minded character falls to the villain's side in anime, manga, and video games?
Such a situation can be described by the slang term, yami-ochi (闇堕ち/闇落ち) in Japanese.
Since yami (闇) means "dark," and ochi (堕ち/落ち) means "fall," the literal meaning of yami-ochi is "falling to the dark."
It is almost the same as the English phrase, "falling to the dark side."
Incidentally, in the real world, the term yami-ochi is sometimes used to describe people whose negative emotions are extremely magnified.

アニメや漫画、ゲームなどで、正しい心を持つキャラクターが、悪側に転落する展開は好きですか？

Sorry, I have one question. Does the correction here mean that I should remove the "term"?
To tell you the truth, I received the following comment in lang-8 before: Is it okay to say "the slang, 'yami-ochi'"?
>> "Slang" is a collective noun with usage equivalent to "language". You can say:
>> "The teenagers use slang." / "A dictionary of slang."
>> "Slang" can also be used as a noun modifier, like so:
>> "a slang term" / "a slang phrase" / "a slang expression"
>> But you can't really say:
>> "the slang tameguchi"

Thank you for your question.
After checking your comment and other websites, I can confirm that "slang term" is correct. You can also use "slang word."
