* In ''[[Sakura Gari]]'', Masataka wishes for his boss Souma's death (by then he has ''a lot'' of reasons to want it, since {{spoiler|Souma was forcing him to work off his brother's debt with sex... but said brother was dead, [[Kick the Dog|and Souma hid that from him]].}}). Souma, who is madly in love with Masataka (but [[Rape Is Love|very bad]] at expressing it), takes it literally and [[Driven to Suicide|slashes his wrists]], much to Masataka's dismay.

* In the manga ''Subaru'', the titular character yells at her mother that she's sick of all the attention being given to her [[Littlest Cancer Patient|twin-brother]] and "wishes he weren't there anymore"! Shortly afterwards, his condition turns critical and he dies. Subaru thinks it's her fault, {{spoiler|although [[The Rival|Mana]] thinks it's ''her'' fault, as Mana kept Subaru away from him with dancing.}}

* ''[[End of Evangelion]]'' has the [[Psychological Horror]] variant: [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|Shinji]] gets so [[Freak Out|depressed]] that when [[Apocalypse Maiden|Rei]] asks him what does he want, he goes on an almost whispering rant about how [[Nietzsche Wannabe|it doesn't make any difference whether he lives or dies]] and summons this trope ''against the entire world'', [[Death Seeker|himself included]]. Unfortunately for everyone else, Rei takes this statement literally and promptly [[Apocalypse Wow|annihilates mankind]]. Afterwards, Shinji mulls about and realizes that this isn't what he wanted because in a world without pain, there's no happiness and [[Mind Screw|if there's nothing in there, he doesn't exist and therefore no one does]]. He decides (without the slightest sign of regret) that he wants everyone back and Rei obliges, killing herself in the process and dumping Shinji with a catatonic [[Empty Shell|Asuka]] into a [[Crapsack World]]. [[Gainax Ending]] at it's finest...
