* Dr. Hell from ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' killed a dog when he was a little child because he thought the mutt was glaring at him. You could tell his sanity was already very strained back then. Also, he was abused by everybody when he was young, and he thinks to [[Take Over the World]] and enslave the humanity is a proper punishment for wrongs were made several decades ago.

* Lina Inverse, main character of ''[[Slayers]]'', does this a lot -- sometimes she seems to have only two levels of punishment: shouting, and blowing things up. It's primarily this willingness to fly off her head over little things and react by throwing around [[Sphere of Destruction]] type spells that gives her such a bad reputation.

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'' is notorious for this. Yugi was the target of several ill-conceived vengeance plots throughout the various seasons. One particular example had the daughter of one of Yugi's grandfather's friends challenge him because his grandpa "stole" her grandpa's rare card.

** [[Jerkass|Jerkass Seto Kaiba]] does this to an extreme in the manga version, where he traps Yugi and his friends (and a toddler one of them happens to be babysitting) in "Death-T", a gauntlet of murderous trials and challenges where failing could lead to death. Seriously, hiring professional assassins for a REAL laser tag, electric chairs powered by screams, hiring a SERIAL SLASHER... and the reason for all this? Because Yugi beat him in a card game (which Kaiba himself tried to cheat in.) The fact that he is [[Easily Forgiven]] is just insulting to the readers' intelligence.

*** Kaiba's revenge wasn't ''just'' for his defeat, it was because of the Penalty Game that the Pharaoh put him through after he lost. For the crime of stealing his card and threatening him for it, the Pharaoh trapped Seto in an illusion where he experienced his own death. This was actually perhaps the most ''merciful'' that the Pharaoh's Penalty Games have been. In this case, he ''meant'' for the experience to help change Kaiba's ways. What actually happened is that Kaiba was traumatized enough to have recurring nightmares about the experience. In fact, in order to make his revenge more complete, he built a technological version of the penalty game, using holograms, to subject Yugi to. Eventually, the Pharaoh got sick of all the revenge schemes, and just blew up the evil part of Seto's mind. He came out of it a sort of changed man. Granted, it put him into a ''coma'' for nearly a year, but still.

** Another had [[Mr. Fanservice|Duke Devlin]], a would-be game developer, challenge Yugi to a duel because he thought Yugi cheated to beat Pegasus (which is debatable--Pegasus was already using his Millennium Eye to cheat, first with the Mind Scan, then with a Shadow Game that injured Yugi, so whether or not Yugi and Yami's Mind Shuffle counts as cheating is pretty YMMV) and killed him (which he didn't), thus ruining his chance at getting his designer game produced (the fax green-lighting it came in less than an hour after the duel), with the stakes being his friend's freedom, his champion title, and his right to play the show's [[Serious Business]] card game forever. To Duke's credit, he does get the hint and eventually forms part of the show's extended cast, helping out at times.

*** Duke's reasons in the manga were a bit more justifiable, since he had to do it for his [[Monster Clown]] of a father in an act of vengeance for whatever Yugi's grandpa did to his face.

*** Duke's father is a much stronger example of this. He and Solomon Moto played the Devil's Board Game, whose cursed power aged him immensely when he lost. Thing is, they both agreed to play the game (for whatever insane reason), and the rules of the game<ref>take turns rolling a die moving a game piece that number of spaces towards the center of the board.</ref> are such that one's opponent has no bearing on who wins the game. Of course, one can't take revenge on the [[Random Number God]], so imprisoning, discrediting, and murdering Solomon's grandson, after forcing him to play the Devil's Board Game, was apparently the next best thing.

** The case: Ranma, in female form, has been kissed by [[Handsome Lech|Mikado Sanzenine]]. The crime: Ranma is actually a straight boy, with Mikado not knowing either that it was Ranma's first kiss or Ranma's true identity. The response: Ranma (who, keep in mind, has enough [[Super Strength]] that he can split boulders without trying too hard) turns into a male and hits Mikado over ''500'' times leaving Mikado unconscious on his feet.

**** Also, grabbing an uncooperative woman and then forcing intimate contact with her against her will -- which is exactly what Mikado did -- is called "sexual assault", and when someone tries that and their intended victim ends up beating the shit out of them most people will agree that they had it coming.

** The case: any outsider woman has defeated a female member of the Joketsuzoku. The crime: defeating the female equivalent of one of the closest things ''Ranma 1/2'' has to a [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]]. The response: a symbolic [[Kiss of Death]], followed by the defeated Joketsuzoku pursuing the outsider all over the world until one or the other of them is dead.

** The case: Ranma has distracted Happosai, causing him to get hurt. The crime: Ranma's interference in one of Happosai's pantyraids allowed the angry women to catch and beat up the [[Dirty Old Man]]. The response: Happosai burns a moxibustion on Ranma's back that leaves him weak as a baby, then distributes fliers about how Ranma is weak all over town, gloating to Ranma that this means his various enemies will seriously hurt and perhaps even kill him, without Happosai needing to lift a finger.

* ''[[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple|Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple]]'' has Odin, the leader of Ragnarok, who got started on the path of evil as a child when {{spoiler|he didn't get the pin he wanted out of a vending machine, but Kenichi did. He fought Kenichi over it, lost, and has been bitter about it ever since in part because Kenichi wanted him to have the pin anyway.}}

If you ''sheltered him and his sister'', [[Self-Made Orphan|you die]]. Though if you're [[The Messiah|Dr. Tenma]] and made the mistake of [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished|saving a little kid with a potentially fatal bullet wound]], he [[Mind Rape|Mind Rapes]] you and dedicates himself to [[Break the Cutie|trying to break your faith in humanity]] instead. Just go take a look at his picture over on the [[Complete Monster]] page.

** It should be noted that the consequences of the above were that {{spoiler|Friend was symbolically executed and everyone pretended he was dead.

* Both the grievance and the response are delivered accidentally in ''[[Kyou no Go no Ni]]'''s first episode. When Yuki and Megumi get hit on the head (accidentally) by two high-bouncing "Superballs", and then hit again on the upbounce of another round, cue an argument ending with Yuki accidentally slipping on said superballs in such a way as to deliver a perfect [[Groin Attack]] to Ryouta. Needless to say the matter is considered settled after that.

* ''[[Change 123]]'' has Sora -- who is using Kosukegawa to get Motoko mad so she can see her most powerful personality, Zero -- chuck into a dumpster some Kamen Raider tapes that Kosukegawa gives her, tapes that are very important to him. Hibiki (the most abrasive of Motoko's normal personalities, all of who like Kosukegawa) sees this happen. Her response? Throwing a punch that makes Sora's bone stab out of her wrist. Ouch.

* In the ''[[Touhou Musou Kakyou]]'' [[Fanime]], Patchouli Knowledge, already rather stressed out due to Reimu Hakurei, the protagonist and resident [[Miko]], interrogating her about her donation box which was stolen from her shrine, gets hit in the face with one of her own books, thrown by Aya during a heated argument with Marisa. Patchy gets ''very'' pissed at this and decides to take it out on Reimu. After a short scene with Sakuya and Remilia, we cut back to the library and Patchy is busting out "Sun Sign: Royal Flare," one of her more powerful spellcard attacks. Reimu herself doesn't exactly hold back in her retaliation either.

** James has shades of this. He ''really'' likes his bottle cap collection. When it had been (accidentally) stolen by a trash-collecting robot, he tried to ''steal the Sunnyshore Tower''. In other words, he tried to '''steal a bloody skyscraper'''. What truly seals the craziness is that that ''was'' Team Rocket's evil-plan-of-the-week...and Jessie and Meowth were ''still'' freaked out at James' sudden gung-ho attitude!

* Natsumi of ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' is this trope and then some. Yes, she is sharing her house with [[It Makes Sense in Context|an alien frog bent on world domination]] but she loves beating him for anything that slightly annoys her. Forget to wash the dishes? Beating. Say something insulting about her, even though she always calls him a stupid frog? Beating. Look at her funny? [[Rule of Three|Beating]].

** In response, Keroro himself sometimes goes into this when he plans revenge against Natsumi. One episode has her throw soybeans at him and call him an oni, which is admittedly nasty--but not nasty enough to turn her into an oni and relentlessly bombard her with soybeans until she surrenders the household.

So Keitaro ends up walking in at a time that he shouldn't, so he gets beaten up and humiliated by the residents (all female) at the Hinata inn (as well as at least one Death Threat). Said incidents include when they are changing or at a bath. Heck, even when it is actually one of the girls who walks in on Keitaro when he's changing, he gets beaten up anyways.

* ''[[Ro-Kyu-Bu!|Ro Kyu Bu]]'' shows just how far a school's administration is willing to go to quash suspected pedophilia amongst its students. If even one member of any club so much as makes out with a girl that's so much as three years younger than he, you can say goodbye to the entire club for the next year, and the offending party is [[Never Live It Down|forever branded a traitor to his club]]. This happens at the very start of the series, where Subaru's plans to play high school basketball are derailed by the team captain's alleged actions.
