Line 132:
** She almost had another in ''Striker's S'' when [[Mad Scientist|Jail Scaglietti]] subjects her to a cruel [[Hannibal Lecture]] about how she is raising Caro and Erio, which in Jail's opinion [[Not So Different|makes her just as evil as Precia]], as he claims that she influenced them to love her unconditionally and do anything she wants because she is afraid of being abandoned. She's luckier this time, though, since Erio and Caro go all "[[Shut UP, Hannibal]]" on Jail and reassure Fate that they love her and chose their own paths, which gives her enough [[Heroic Resolve]] to defeat Jail.
** Also in ''Striker's S'', Nanoha has a brief one when Vivio is kidnapped. At first she continues to carry out her duties through sheer willpower, but when she finishes and no longer has anything to distract her, she breaks down crying in Fate's arms. Of course, being [[Determinator|Nanoha]], she doesn't let her emotions keep her down, and channels them into rescuing Vivio and kicking the crap out of her enemies.
* Sousuke spends a significant portion of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]] The Second Raid'' in the throes of a [[Heroic BSOD]] after he's ordered to cease serving as Kaname's bodyguard and cut off all contact with her. Eventually it gets bad enough that he simply walks away in the middle of a mission and wanders aimlessly around Hong Kong, getting a bottle of scotch and picking up (or allowing himself to be picked up by) a prostitute who looks like Kaname. And then [[It Got Worse|It Gets Worse]]...
* {{spoiler|Tsukasa}} suffers one in ''[[.hack|.hack//sign]]'' {{spoiler|after Morganna tortures him. In fact, this was Morganna's plan: to build Tsukasa up and make him feel safe so that when it was "BSOD time" it would be more traumatic.}}
** To be honest, it's kinda hard not to when you've been {{spoiler|Data Drained.}}
Line 186:
*** He didn't actually leave the city, {{spoiler|he just left Ushio with the Furukawas for that period in time and didn't do anything. He was ''that'' out of it.}}
** Don't forget Nagisa's BSOD near the end of the first season, when {{spoiler|she found out about her parents's past and ''what'' they gave up to raise her.}}
* Kouji Kabuto from ''[[Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen]]'' experiences one of these when he realizes that by fighting in his [[Humongous Mecha]], he has accidentally killed dozens of civilians.
** In the original ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' series, Kouji's [[Battle Couple|girlfriend and partner]] Sayaka Yumi has a HUGE one when {{spoiler|her [[Humongous Mecha]], Aphrodite A, is destroyed}}. It's so bad that the poor girl {{spoiler|almost kills herself by drowning, as she believes that Aphrodite is calling her from a nearby lake.}}
** She got another way earlier, in episode 7. A mob -enraged at having their hometown leveld by two battling [[Humongous Mecha]]- threw stones to her father, landing him in the hospital, and almost broke in the Institute. She was so upset and distraught she considered quitting of battling.
