* Boss from ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' and ''[[Great Mazinger]]'': He helps the heroes to save the world, risking his life on a daily basis. What does he gets in return? He gets constantly mocked, ridiculed and berated by everyone -and beaten by [[Robeast|Robeasts]]-, and he is treated like a joke or even a nuisance. He is given absolutely NO respect. |

* In ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' Shinji Ikari is constantly bullied and ignored ([["Well Done, Son" Guy|even by his father]]), even though he ''saves the world.'' Multiple times. And in the more light-hearted [[Sitcom]] scenes in the first half of the series, guess who is the butt of every humiliating joke? Imagine [[Peanuts|Charlie Brown]] with a [[Humongous Mecha|giant robot]]. |

* Fate Testarossa-Harlaown of ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'' gets this sometimes, being socially awkward and easily embarrassed into adulthood. She gets teasing from Signum about their new relationship (in which Fate is reluctantly Signum's superior officer in [[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|StrikerS]]), is not told about a final mock battle between the captains and forwards that includes her or her daughter Vivio's ability to turn into her [[Older Alter Ego]] at will, and occasionally gets subject to loving teasing by Vivio, particularly in the "[[Has Two Mommies|2nd Mother's Day]]" one shot. |

* Due to his status as [[The Comically Serious]] and as [[I Just Want to Be Normal|a chimera who desperately seeks a cure for his appearance]], [[I Work Alone|which often makes him try to ignore or belie his comrades]], [[Slayers|Zelgadis]] is this in multiple filler episodes. One memorable episode from the second season had him being used as an ''anchor'', nearly get killed twice by a [[Our Dragons Are Different|Lake Dragon]], and almost drown. In the latter scenario, he winds up getting [[Squick|CPR from the elderly (male) captain]] of the boat they were on instead of [[Genki Girl|Amelia]], whom he secretly hoped would do it... |
