Line 17:
* In ''[[The Prince of Tennis]]'', lead character Ryoma Echizen goes through this dialogue in a tennis match against then-antagonist Jin Akutsu. Even though it is tennis, to be fair, the first payback is a drive volley at point-blank range.
* When Goku begins beating the hell out of Nappa in ''[[Dragonball Z]]'', each blow is dedicated to one of the heroes that Nappa has killed.
** Don't forget about Trunks shouting "THIS IS FOR GOHAN!" to Android 18 before completely destroying her when he returns to his timeline after [[Took a Level Inin Badass|taking several levels in badass]] during the Cell saga.
* In ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', Hermes' revenge against her sister's murderer goes into this.
{{quote|"''This kick was for Gloria. And this one is also for Gloria. And the next one is also for Gloria. And the next one. And the one after that. And the next one, and next one... '''They're ALL for Gloria!'''''"}}
Line 66:
'''Mafalda''' (thinking): This one for giving arguments to the enemy.'' '''* gulp* ''' '' This one for not knowing what to answer. '' '''* gulp* ''' '' This one for... }}
* ''[[Beasts of Burden]]'' when Orphan attacks the frog creature.
* ''Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man'', during the 'Back in Black' timeframe: [[Took a Level Inin Badass|Betty Brant]] rescues Flash and Peter from [[The Worm That Walks|Arrow]] by repeatedly blasting her with a shotgun. She underlines each shot with one of these, ending with "[[It Makes Sense in Context|And this is for making me afraid of toilets!]]"
* [[Hack Slash|... and this is for my acorns.]]
* ''[[Gen 13]]'': in one story arc Caitlin Fairchild became the [[Only Sane Man|only person on Earth]] unaffected by an insipid song that possessed mind-controlling qualities. Finally as she faced off against the creator of this mind-controlling song, she declared war against all bad music(in her opinion); "This is for Creed's 'With Arms Wide Open'! This is for the entire Oasis catalog! And this is for that 'Sunscreen' speech song! I mean, what's that all about?"
Line 87:
* Parodied in ''[[Not Another Teen Movie]]''. (* Punch* "That's for taking Jamie to the prom!" * Punch* "That's for hurting Jamie at Preston's party!" * Punch* "That's for...being really weird!" * Punch* "...I don't know what that was for.")
* Spoofed in [[Woody Allen]]'s movie [[Gag Dub]], ''[[What's Up, Tiger Lily?]]''
* A more subtle version appears in ''[[GoldeneyeGoldenEye (film)|GoldenEye]]'' as {{spoiler|Bond faces off with movie villain and former friend Alec Trevelyan. Earlier in the film Alec had referenced a small tradition they shared during a dangerous mission: "For England, James?" "For England, Alec." As Alec is about to die, he says again, "For England, James?" Bond responds, "No. For me."}}
** Ironically, early in the film, M warns Bond against employing this trope when she sends him on a mission where he is sure to cross paths with the man who presumably {{spoiler|murdered Trevelyan in the film's prologue. "Avenging Alec Trevelyan will not bring him back."}}
* Appears (doubled, in fact) even earlier in ''[[Octopussy]]'':
Line 110:
* In ''[[Spy Hard]]'', two bad guys start beating up a [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]] stand-in for Macaulay Culkin:
{{quote|'''Mook 2:''' And this is for ''[[Getting Even With Dad]]''!
'''Mook 1:''' And this is for ''[[My Girl (manga)|My Girl]]''
'''Mook 2:''' And this is for ''[[My Girl 2]]''!
'''McClatchy:''' I wasn't in ''[[My Girl 2]]''!
Line 174:
{{quote|"{{spoiler|Calo Sanza}}, my brother and my friend! {{spoiler|Galdo Sanza}}, my brother and my friend! ... {{spoiler|Bug.}} His real name was Bertilion Gadek. My apprentice. My brother. And my friend."}}
* Leslie Barringer's ''[[Low Fantasy|Joris of the Rock]]'' has the title bandit {{spoiler|die this way -- at the hands of [[Luke, I Am Your Father|his son]]}}, although the boy doesn't know that part.
{{quote|"''That'' for my [[Rape and Revenge|kinswoman Tiphaine]]--and ''that'' for [[Last Stand|Captain John Doust]]--and ''that''--and ''that''--and ''that'' for every other foul crime of your whole filthy life!"}}
 
 
== Live Action TV ==
* Subverted in ''[[Sledge Hammer!]]!'': When the title character throws in one more punch than he dedicates, and when asked who that was for, he says, "that one was gratuitous."
* A slightly modified version in ''[[Eureka]]'': Jo Lupo does this to Callister Raynes. * Kiss* That was for coming back..." * punch* "And that was for leaving."
* In the ''[[Dark Angel]]'' episode "Fuhgeddaboudit" Max beats up Alec while listing everything he has done to annoy her all season. She finishes with, "and this is for whatever stupid thing you do next!"
Line 250:
* In ''[[Fire Emblem]]'', Sain's quote before the final battle is "This is for all the lovely ladies I've yet to meet!"
* A variation appears in the first ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]''; randomly during the Olympus Colosseum rounds, after a victory [[Donald Duck]] would declare "For Daisy!"
* ''[[Blood RayneBloodRayne]] 2'' - While killing Kagan "This is for my mother! (Stab) This is for my city! (Stab) And this is for my angry little misspent life! (decapitation) You rat sucking son of a bitch!
* [[Talking Weapon|Lilarcor]] from ''[[Baldurs Gate II]]'' will occasionally segue into one of these during combat:
