** [[Troubling Unchildlike Behavior|As a child]], Lady Farnese often took [[Pyromaniac|great joy]] in assisting her town's burning of heretics.
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'', said word-for-word multiple times by Tristan, who [[Running Gag|remains convinced]] that Duke Devlin is a witch.
* Minoru Murao's manga ''[[Knights]]'' opens with an attempted witch burning, as a [[Corrupt Church|corrupt priest]] is accusing the 13 year-old [[Token Mini-MoeLoli|Nina]] of witchcraft. He fails, and Nina is [[Rescue Romance|rescued]] by the [[Meaningful Name|Black Knight]] and his [[Ms. Fanservice|might-as-well-be-naked companion]]. Later, the protagonist (and [[Knight in Shining Armor|knight-in-training]]) Mist reveals it was merely a plot to seize her noble family's assets, since the Church is entitled to a witch's property without justification or investigation.
** And if a priest gets to burn enough people he/she becomes a saint with [[Stock Super Powers|super powers]]. So the only people in the setting who have anything to do with magic are [[Corrupt Church|the church]].
* Evangeline in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' says that despite being a [[Our Vampires Are Different|vampire]], she often had to escape such burnings during the middle ages, occasionally getting caught. She laughs about it as something highly amusing these days (the listeners were understandably horrified).
