Line 49:
* Then there's ''[[G Gundam]]'''s Sai Saici, whose Hyper Mode Ultimate Attack and the Shaolin Temple's final and secret technique is a suicide attack in which his Gundam gains chi-created butterfly wings (much the same as the Naruto example with Chouji above, but with a [[Giant Robot]]). He also [[Unexplained Recovery|gets better]]. Multiple times.
* ''[[Paprika]]'' has the butterfly room scene.
* In one of the episodes of the hentai show ''[[Cool Devices]]'', these appeared. The [[Moe Moe]] girls got brutally raped by a bunch of [[Scary Black Man|Scary Black Men]],{{verify|reason=were they black?}} then [[Human Sacrifice|sacrificed]].{{verify}} But it's all okay,{{verify}} because at the end their spirits turn into butterflies. Or something.
* In ''[[Hunter X Hunter]]'', there is a type of butterfly that is attracted to fresh blood. In one of the Hunter Exams, [[The Messiah|Gon]] tracks these butterflies, which lead him to [[Monster Clown|Hisoka]], which is his target.
* One chapter of ''[[Pet Shop of Horrors]]'' elevates this into mindfuck: Leon (a cop) accidentally shoots a childhood friend (Harry) who turns out to have become a criminal over time. Count D allows him to experience Harry's life for himself, trapping him inside an illusion given by a magical butterfly. Just as Leon experiences being shot to death, D crushes the butterfly, giving Leon his normal life back.
Line 62:
* The first witch that appears in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' seems to have a motif partially based around butterflies, as seen on her minions, in her barrier, on her Grief Seed, and on the witch herself. In addition once she's defeated there is a quick shot of a butterfly in a web afterwards. [[Fridge Brilliance]] / [[Fridge Horror|Horror]] kicks in when you realize {{spoiler|it may or may not be [[Foreshadowing]] that witches start out as a normal girl that gets contracted by Kyubey, followed by reaching the [[Despair Event Horizon]]}}.
* ''[[Loveless]]'' plays this for all the symbolism it can get, especially with Soubi, complete with Ritsu-sensei musing on how "humans are able to be reborn".
