* ''[[Ranma ½]]'' has the age old question of why the people cursed by the Jusenkyo springs didn't just cure themselves while they were still there.
** Well, in at least a few of the cases: Ranma and Genma are freaked out and fighting and run away from the place, and it's awhile before they calm down and think about doing so. Also, they're idiots. Ryoga freaks out at being cursed and goes running as well, and with his sense of direction he'd never find his way back (intentionally). Also, he's an idiot.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' features several occasions where a bad guy could achieve his goal without an obligatory Duel, but nevertheless does one for some unknown reason. Repeatedly lampshaded in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]''.
{{quote|'''Yami Yugi:''' Did you even consider ''just asking me for it''? I mean, do you have any ''idea'' how much time and money you've wasted with this whole facade? People have ''died'' because you wanted a necklace! ''I killed a gay clown'', for Ra's sake!}}
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'': {{spoiler|Why doesn't Madoka or any of the other girls just wish for something like a universe where everyone is happy and magical girls are unnecessary? It would totally negate all the bad stuff that happends to the girls. Madoka herself tries something like this at the end of the series, but her version has a pointless sacrifice tacked on for some reason.}}
** {{spoiler|The reason why no one else did is fairly simple: Most girls come in ignorant of what's going on, and none of them would have the power to make the wish if they did (Madoka having phenomenal cosmic power thanks to Homura messing with the time-space continuum). Madoka's wish was as limited as it was because incubators are necessary for human civilization. The sacrifice... she probably didn't want to leave something like that to an impersonal cosmic force, and may not have been able to create one.}}
