Line 35:
* The Vongola family in [[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]] is the biggest Mafia family in the story and has its share of [[Cain and Abel]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20100731011007/http://www.onemanga.com/Katekyo_Hitman_Reborn/1/32/ killings] and freakish [https://web.archive.org/web/20090123144143/http://www.onemanga.com/Katekyo_Hitman_Reborn/31/07/ traditions]. This is initially played for laughs but following the manga's [[Genre Shift]], it means that the [[Unexpected Successor]] Tsuna receives daily death threats {{spoiler|to the point that he claims he'll destroy the family if he has to carry on its bloody legacy}}.
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]:''
** The Eastern European nations of . The members include [[Psychopathic Manchild]] Russia, the constantly stressed out [[Team Mom]] Ukraine, [[Shrinking Violet]] Latvia, ultra [[
** The former British Empire. Canada and Seychelles are pretty much [[Butt Monkey|ignored.]] Nobody cares about [[The Unfavourite|Sealand]]. England had a terrible relationship with his other siblings, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, and also possibly has an [[All Love Is Unrequited|unrequited]] love towards [[Love Hurts|America]], whom he [[Brother-Sister Incest|adopted]].
** The Asians. China is an [[Adult Child]] [[Woobie]] who getsa no respect anywhere, Japan is a [[Inscrutable Oriental]] who is ''very'' complex to say it politely, Korea is a [[Keet]] who isn't taken seriously even by Japan and China, Hong Kong is a [[Trickster]] with a perfect poker face, Taiwan is arguably one of the most normal and yet she can't also take China seriously, etc.
Line 215:
** Surprisingly subverted with the von Karmas. While von Karma himself is an [[Amoral Attorney]] of the highest caliber and {{spoiler|murdered Miles Edgeworth's father before adopting him with intention of raising him to be another [[Amoral Attorney]] before having him convicted of his own father's murder fifteen years later}}, he seems to have treated both Miles and Fransiska with no more unkindness than your average demanding parent. The {{spoiler|murder thing}} is still sort of messed up, though.
** Although not all of them are actually related, the Gramarye Troupe from ''Apollo Justice'' certainly fit this trope. {{spoiler|Accidental shootings, blackmail, suicide, frame-ups}}...Trucy's lucky that she's not being raised by them, really.
* To summarize ''[[BlazBlue]]: Calamity Trigger's'' story: {{spoiler|1=3 Orphan Siblings + [[Time Travel]] + [[Cloning Blues]] + [[Ax Crazy]] = Big Screwed-Up Family + [[The End of the World as We Know It]] [[Groundhog Day Loop|Repeatedly]].}} To specify, {{spoiler|the younger brother is driven to insanity by the [[Big Bad]], so he cuts off his big brother's arm, then later supervises a clone of his sister, whom he hates, who is a main piece in the Big Bad's plan to destroy the world, and is then driven to hunt his thought-to-be-dead big brother, who will also destroy the world, and it turns out the sister who disappeared is the villain behind the main antagonist. In the original timeline, the big brother was turned into a monster and sent back in time, while his younger brother turned himself into a hero to atone for everything he had done before. Even as a reformed hero, he is still intent on killing his big brother, though now he wants to do it for the sake of the world and not because of [[
** The Clover family. The father, [[Evil Genius|Relius]], is a [[Lack of Empathy|sociopathic]] [[Complete Monster]] who turned his daughter into a machine and then used the experience to turn his wife into a superior version... [[For Science!]]! All while, his [[Parental Abandonment|abandoned]] son, Carl, who was forced to finish the experiment that his father begun, because Relius couldn't be bothered to finish the job on Carl's sister, was understandably deeply traumatized by these events. He now greatly distrusts adults and will do ''anything'' to return his sister to normal and get revenge. When they eventually reunite? Relius brags about how he has [[Large Ham|"ACHIEVED PER-FEC-TION"]] with his wife and promptly tries to [[Offing the Offspring|demonstrate her power on his children]].
* The Mishima family from ''[[Tekken]]''. It's [[Badass Family|badass]]... and it's also ridiculously shattered. By ''Tag Tournament 2'', there are certifiably ''five'' family members competing (Jinpachi, Heihachi, Kazuya, Jin, and Lars), spanning ''four'' generations (plus Lee, the adopted son of Heihachi), and you can basically draw a web of who wants to kill who and why. The only one who is 'good' in the general sense of the term is Jinpachi (he has a good heart but is unable to fight the engulfing evil force that has possessed his mind and body; Lars is heroic but is still willing to kill Heihachi unprovoked when the two encounter each other).
Line 238:
*** {{spoiler|Said child is actually a result of Kinzo's [[Parental Incest]] with his mistress's daughter. Said child grows up in an orphanage and brought as a servant to the family, and orchestrates the murders that occur on the island.}}
** His eldest daughter Eva has some major issues with her older brother and treats Natsuhi poorly, not to mention they pretty much had a "competition" to see who'd first give birth to a child who could be appointed as succesor. She also dislikes [[Meido|Shannon]], and is against her relationship with Eva's son, George. {{spoiler|When she finds the gold in Episode Three, she becomes a witch and basically goes insane}}. Beyond that, in Episode 6, {{spoiler|when George tells her he's going to marry Shannon, she basically goes insane again, and George kills her}}. Not to mention how Kinzo denied her the right to be the succesor despite her intelligence and investing talent, [[Heir Club for Men|solely for her gender.]] {{spoiler|Except in one timeline.}}
** His ''other'' son, Rudolf, is a known philanderer. This philandering, in fact, caused his own son Battler (the main protagonist) to leave for six years when he remarried following the death of his first wife. It has also caused a lot of [[Epileptic Trees]] since the fourth arc regarding {{spoiler|Battler's parentage}}. As for that remarriage? The woman he married and with whom he had Ange, Kyrie, is a {{spoiler|[[
** The youngest daughter, Rosa, is a horribly [[Abusive Parents|abusive mother]] towards her daughter, [[Creepy Child|Maria]]. This is because she is incredibly stressed out as a young, single mother whose husband left her, {{spoiler|and even now, she's trying to convince to come back by cosigning a loan for him that threw her deep into debt. He, of course, has no intention of returning}}, and Rosa knows that even as she tries to do this. Some of the abuse also comes from her own frustration at having been bullied by her siblings when she was a kid, which Rudolf comes to aknowledge at some point.
* The Sonozaki clan in ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' qualifies.
