Line 26:
* All over the place in ''[[Death Note]]''. Light exploits anybody who places trust in him (a pretty serious flaw) for all it's worth. L and company exploit Light's ego, Misa's carelessness, Mikami's strict routine, and so forth. And then Light, at a couple of points, exploits his minions' very ''exploitability'' by playing on a deeper level.
* In ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'', during Tsuna's fight with Mukuro, the fight between them is prolonged ''much'' longer due to Mukuro's [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty|dirty fighting tactics]] that completely exploit Tsuna's [[The Messiah|kind-hearted nature]]. (Tactics that include [[Grand Theft Me|taking over Tsuna's friends' bodies]] to fight him, making it difficult for Tsuna to defeat them without harming their bodies, and [[I Surrender, Suckers|pretending to surrender]] only to attack [[In the Back|Tsuna's back]] when Tsuna decides to [[Turn the Other Cheek|spare him]], etc.)
* Both fans ''and'' characters in ''[[Ranma
** [[Fridge Brilliance|Ah, but their styles aren't 'anything goes'.]]
* In ''[[Transformers Robots in Disguise]]'', the Predacons take advantage of Side Burn's obsession with red sports cars to lure him into a trap.
Line 113:
* Ganondorf does this so often that's it's practically one of his defining characteristics. Countless times he's [[Distressed Damsel|kidnapped Zelda]] knowing that Link would [[Always Save the Girl|come rescue her]], and in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'' (and to an extent, Wind Waker) his plans were actually based around the idea that Link and Zelda would try to stop him. And then there's ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'', where he exploits Zant's anger and ambition, using him as a tool to free himself from the Twilight Realm and conquer Hyrule.
** And in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks]]'', Chancellor Cole uses Zelda's [[Eek! a Mouse!|fear of mice]] to [[Crowning Moment of Funny|interrupt a battle]].
* In [[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]], the Thalmor goad Ulfric Stormcloak into seditious acts against the Empire through a combination of his malcontent towards a [[Won the War, Lost the Peace|lopsided "peace" treaty]] the Empire and Thalmor have, and his own impatience and brashness. They know all his buttons and just which ones to push, thanks to him being a prisoner of war to them. He's not a [[Manchurian Agent]], but still manipulable. The end result is that the Stormcloak Rebellion impedes the Empire's preparations to [[The Dog Bites Back|heat the cold war back up again]].
