Line 47:
* The agents of the O'Hara Foundation tend to act this way towards Ray Steam in the movie ''[[Steamboy]]''. By the end, it seems that they're trying to kill him out of sheer spite, despite having no particular reason to do so and much, ''much'' better things to do with their time (such as {{spoiler|trying to escape the giant, flying steam-powered castle that's about to self-destruct around them}}).
* Vegeta from ''[[Dragonball Z]]''. In the early stages of the anime, the arrogant prince of the Saiyans is a complete genocidal asshole with nary a nice bone in his body, constantly insulting his teammates even after doing the [[Heel Face Turn]], and even being perpetually jealous of his [[Future Badass]] son Trunks. He does mellow out once the sense of family with Bulma and Trunks sets in for him. Which takes some time.
* The whole soccer club in ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' are made of douchebags, it is no wonder why Sunohara left the club since day one. This gets even worse in the Sunohara path (and in ''After Story'' anime adaptation), when Youhei's sister Mei asks to let her brother rejoin to get his spirit back, they instantly dismiss him roughly. Then when Tomoya helps out in requesting, they tell him, Mei and Nagisa to be ball-catcher, and purposely throw the ball out just so they can see the three struggle. And when Mei begs about it again, they start bullying her ON PURPOSE. No wonder when Sunohara saves her in a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment, it becomes a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for someone who's usually treated like a [[Butt Monkey]].
** Too bad they revert Sunohara's status back in the episode ''right after it'', when he gets {{spoiler|beaten up by Misae several times}}.
* Hibari from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'' the school is his life..and he will bite you to death if you do anything to hurt the school in any way, disrupt its functioning, or really just irritate him.
Line 120:
* Tsugawa the manager in ''[[Japan Inc]]''.
* In ''[[Happy Yarou Wedding]]'', Kazuki is none too nice to his brother-in-law Yuuhi, especially over his sexuality. On the flip side he's a good uncle to Shouta which is why Yuuhi tolerates him at all.
* ''[[Skip Beat!]]'''s Fuwa Sho is [[Alternate Character Interpretation|a different person depending on how you view him.]] A jackass of the first degree beyond all narrative redemption? A sixteen/seventeen year old boy who's had a little too much positive attention for his own good? Somewhere in between? No matter what way you pick, you can't deny some of his unsavory [[Pride|characteristics]] and [[Forced Kiss|actions]]
* Asuka Langley Soryu of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' is practically the epitome of a jerkass who regularly announces that she hates everyone and everything at times of emotional intensity (which is mostly when she fails due to her own fault and tries to blame it on something else). She is not even trying to be playful or joking when she says she hates people; she almost always ''means'' it, especially in the case of Shinji or Rei for merely not being nice to her, despite the fact that they did absolutely nothing to deserve it; in other words, she hates them just for ''being'' there. There is a good reason for this, though: [[Freudian Excuse|like all the main characters, she has an extremely traumatic past, which has instilled her with a severe inferiority complex]], for which she compensates by aggressively attempting to keep the people around her from getting too close to her, as she does not want anyone controlling or [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!|pitying]] her.
* In ''[[Saint Beast]]'', Kira is one, in part thanks to [[Loners Are Freaks]]. His main issue is his aloofness and that he enjoys [[The Bully|getting a rise]] out of angels like [[The Chick|Rey]].
