*** It should probably also be pointed out that Tucker between the first anime and manga are somewhat different in character. In the anime, it's clear he's already rather out of his gourd when they meet him, although it doesn't show until what he did was revealed and he just kept slowly losing his mind as the series progressed. By the end, any physical punishment as a normal person would know might not even apply to somebody who had gone as insane as he had. In the manga, he wasn't as crazy and basically did it [[For the Evulz]].
** This isn't so much of a problem in [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|the manga and the second anime adaptation]]. When he turns poor Nina into a chimera, he doesn't survive to the end of the ''episode.'' [[And There Was Much Rejoicing|Thanks, Scar.]]
** On top of Tucker, another example from the 2003 anime series was [[Complete Monster|General Hakuro]]. A corrupt man whose men gang-raped Rose after she was sent under his custody, you just ''know'' from the scene where he captures her that he would be the type of creep who might do it himself. When the dictatorship is overthrown, we aren't shown if Hakuro even got his. We can assume he did, but we are not shown him get comeuppance.
* Dakki from ''[[Houshin Engi]]'' devoured human beings for seemingly no reason, stopped someone from being executed just to build a burning pillar to use on said person, invites people to parties and then sics tigers on them, turned a guy's son into hamburger and had said guy eat it (the guy later starved to death), and in general made things miserable for the inhabitants of Ancient China. But the worst she did was {{spoiler|plot with a godlike entity who's been manipulating the history of the Earth for centuries in order to serve her own interests.}} What happens to her? {{spoiler|she takes control of the body of said godlike entity and uses it to become the Great Mother and merge with the Earth}}. Talk about Karma.
* The [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Necks of Orochi]] from ''[[Kannazuki no Miko]]'', after having their plot to destroy the world foiled (also, a couple of massacres early on), basically just get revived and live on as if nothing had happened.
