** The second one is a particularly long-lasting one. In both Manga and Anime, the entire crew gets one of these as they simultaneously face off against {{spoiler|an [[Authority Equals Asskicking|Admiral]], the admiral's top subordinate (who [[Deadly Upgrade|Monster Chopper]] couldn't land a single hit on), and a SECOND Pacifista, after they struggled to beat the FIRST Pacifista, and were more tired than they'd been in recent memory, '''Then''' Bartholemew [[Trickster Mentor|Kuma]] shows up, and [[Hopeless Boss Fight|utterly]] [[Faking the Dead|annihilates]] them}}. in the anime adaptation, it starts off as this at the BEGINNING of the episode, and by the end becomes one of the most heart-breaking [[Freak-Out|freakouts]] possible when a hero of this caliber realizes he's failed completely, and never stood a chance. |

*** The way he acts after {{spoiler|waking up after Ace's death and realizing that it actually happened}} is even worse, with him {{spoiler|attacking everything in sight in order to try to dispel the memories of Ace's death}}. It's pointed out that the emotional strain of such a tragedy, {{spoiler|fighting so hard to save Ace, only for Ace to die saving him}} would easily break a normal person. |

{{quote|'''Ikanov''': And to think that {{spoiler|that same elder brother died in front of his very eyes, so that he would be saved…}} What God or Buddha would permit that…?! That’s something that could easily crumble one, nay, two minds!!! }} |

*** The latest chapters {{spoiler|[[Flash Back|tell the story]] of Luffy, Ace, and [[Death by Origin Story|surrogate brother Sabo]] and how they came become the men they were, with Ace's promise that they would survive, and Luffy's vow to get stronger and become the Pirate King.}} By the end, {{spoiler|everything that has happened has caused Luffy's dream to come crashing down on him. For a series about chasing your dreams, this is heartbreaking.}} |

* In the ''[[Bastard!!]]'' manga, Dark Schneider occasionally experiences Heroic BSOD's for a variety of reasons. Some of them are very minor and short (often triggered by a spat with Yoko in the beginning of the series, when Rushe still matters), but a major one (off-screen) when he {{spoiler|finds out that Yoko apparently died, then goes to hell.}} He's promptly snapped out of it by Porno Dianno by virtue of her wandering all over the place pretty much naked. Talk about priority placement. |
