* In ''[[One Pound Gospel]]'', Kosaku has trouble with the idea that [[Nuns Are Mikos|nuns are ''not'' mikos]], which causes problems for Sister Angela.
▲* In ''[[Bleach]]'', the New Captain Amagai Arc has a villain whose motivation is that Head Captain Yamamoto killed his father. The only other clue he had is that the father's dying words were "Bakkoto," the [[MacGuffin|MacGuffins]] and Empathetic Weapons featured in the arc. It turns out that the father's last words were actually {{spoiler|"Beware the Bakkoto" and that Yamamoto killed him because he was possessed, making the entire arc a Shoot the Shaggy Dog Story as had he not sworn revenge, the original villain's schemes would have still outed him as a villain and Amagai would still be alive}}.

* The script for ''[[Pretty Woman]]'' started out a lot more tragic. One plot point was Edward renting a [[Pretty in Mink|white fur coat]] for Vivian to wear during her hired time. When she is sad over their time nearly being up, he thinks it's just because he made her give the fur back.

* In ''[[Harry Potter]],'' Voldemort falls afoul of this trope with regards to the Elder Wand: he knows that the wand passes to whoever defeats its previous master, and interprets this as the wand going to whoever ''killed'' the last master. It fails to occur to him to think about non-lethal defeat, so he assumes that the wand's ownership should pass from Dumbledore to Snape when Snape killed the former. In fact, Draco Malfoy had already disarmed Dumbledore and become the rightful owner of the wand, which then passed to Harry when Harry disarmed Draco. This contributes to Voldemort's downfall in more ways than one, since it also leads him to kill Snape, who then passes the knowledge of how to defeat Voldemort on to Harry in what are probably the only circumstances under which Harry would actually believe him.
