Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"When I woke up, I went on what [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall|the movie advertisements]] referred to as a "[[Trope Namer|roaring rampage of revenge]]". I roared. I rampaged. And I got bloody satisfaction."'' |'''The Bride''', ''[[Kill Bill]], Vol. 2''}}

The [['''Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]''' differs from the standard [[Revenge]] plot in that our hero dispenses with the Machiavellian plotting that would define a classic revenge tale and goes straight to spilling bad blood, either in a single, violent [[Unstoppable Rage]] or [[Tranquil Fury]]-fueled rampage on the bad guy's home base, or a more methodical "working one's way up the food chain" from lesser foes to the bigger fish.

Alternately the reasoning is that the hero just has a single lead, and [[Linked -List Clue Methodology|each lead gives him/her one more name or clue before they die]].

Would-be avengers need to be extremely careful about falling into [[He Who Fights Monsters]] territory. It's one thing to take revenge on someone who is directly responsible for wronging you, but it's quite another to extend your revenge to that person's children, people who are only tangentially related to the main target, and any innocent bystanders unlucky enough to get in the way. If this happens, then [[The Hero]] may cease to be [[Fallen Hero|worthy of that title.]]

Compare [[Last Stand]], where the motives are frequently the same. May be a case of [[Revenge Before Reason]] culminating in a [[Self -Destructive Charge]]. In other cases, the anger has burned itself out by the end, leaving only a dogged [[Determinator]] to finish the task. Also compare to [[Roaring Rampage of Rescue]], where the goal of the rampage is to rescue a loved one rather to exact revenge for what was done to them. The two may overlap.

== Anime and Manga ==

* {{spoiler|Shion}} in ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini]]'' goes on a delayed one in her arc. She [[Moral Event Horizon|goes a bit far]], by which we mean that even after she's killed {{spoiler|a little girl who she promised to take care of}}, she doesn't stop, despite it having become obvious that her family knows nothing about {{spoiler|Satoshi's disappearance}} - although what {{spoiler|the rest of the Sonozaki family}} did to her is pretty damn horrible too.

* ''[[Slayers (Anime)|Slayers]]'''s Luke is generally a nice, if a bit snarky, guy. But {{spoiler|hire assassins to kill the woman he is madly in love with, and then refuse to cure the poison on her?}} He might get mad.

* Lucy from ''[[Elfen Lied (Manga)|Elfen Lied]]'' has one of these against Kurama (and all of humanity for that matter).

* Suzaku from ''[[Code Geass (Anime)|Code Geass]]'' goes on a very literal [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] after {{spoiler|the woman he loved, Princess Euphemia}} is killed, blasting through the battlefield, screaming like a madman as he cuts down anyone in his path. The show's [[Anti-Hero]] protagonist, Lelouch, might also qualify since one of his goals is vengeance for his mother, but his is more like [[Magnificent Bastard]] Rampage of Revenge.

* Before the Conviction arc focuses him, Guts of ''[[Berserk (Manga)|Berserk]]'' spends a year or so [[Walking the Earth]] as the Black Swordsman, hunting down and killing demonic Apostles and trying to get at Griffith, who betrayed him in a serious way during the Eclipse by {{spoiler|sacrificing his friends, and then raping his girlfriend Casca right in front of him}}. Though his current objective is to [[Find the Cure]] for Casca's madness, he's still pissed off at Griffith, and in fact, his big recurring dilemma is that he has to choose between pursuing revenge and protecting what little he still has, which isn't exactly helped by the fact that he has a [[Super-Powered Evil Side]] that wants him to kill Casca so that he can get back to his vendetta.

* In ''[[Planetes (Anime)|Planetes]]'', {{spoiler|Edle}} used to be married to a man who ended up selling her into prostitution. When the guy has the gall to call her and try to get back together, she shows up at his hotel room with an ''anchor launcher'' and threatens to shoot him with it.

* Parodied in ''[[Yotsuba&! (Manga)|Yotsuba&!]]'' after Yotsuba watches one too many Japanese gangster movies: she first takes out Dad and Jumbo with her water pistol, then switches personas and takes revenge by heading next door to shoot the neighbors, one by one, ending with [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Asagi]].

* In ''[[Macross Frontier (Anime)|Macross Frontier]]'', Klan goes on one of these after {{spoiler|Michel is killed defending her from Vajra.}}

** In the manga and ''Brotherhood'', Roy Mustang goes on a violent rampage when {{spoiler|Envy}} makes the mistake of [[Evil Gloating|admitting he killed Hughes]]. And by "violent," we mean he {{spoiler|[[Eye Scream|boiled the water in Envy's eyes]] twice, ''thanked'' him for going [[One-Winged Angel]] because he made himself a bigger target, burnt his jaw off just to make him [[Shut UP, Hannibal]],}} and generally sent the little bastard running for his life. It was both [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown|deeply disturbing]] and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|intensely awesome]], and the only reason he didn't actually kill {{spoiler|Envy}} was that [[Morality Pet|Riza Hawkeye]] threatened to shoot him and then ''herself'' if he lost it that much.

* ''[[The Breaker]]'' has [[Crazy Awesome|Chun]] [[Lightning Bruiser|Woo]]start one when his disciple Shi Woon, goes missing. He's angry, as angry as we've ever seen him be. But then {{spoiler|Shiho his love interest is killed, [[Heroic Sacrifice|taking a bullet for him.]] He then takes unleashes a [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]] on an entire rooftop of martial artists. And it's not a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].}}

* ''[[Kurogane no Linebarrel (Manga)|Kurogane no Linebarrel]]'' : Kouichi, after reconciling with his childhood friend for his narcissistic behavior and arrogant attitude, slips into this when {{spoiler|Yajima is killed in a hail of bullets, followed by an explosion, by a malfunctioning Machina from the Katou Organization}}. Cradling the amputated limb of his dead friend, needless to say, Kouichi doesn't take it very well.

* Played with in ''[[Narutaru (Manga)|Narutaru]]''. After [[Lonely Rich Kid|Hiroko]] [[The Ojou|Kaizuka]] winds up on the receiving end of [[Alpha Bitch|Aki Honda]] and her [[Girl Posse]]'s [[Complete Monster|unspeakably cruel treatment]] and her [[Abusive Parents|emotionally-abusive dad]] separates her from her only friend Shiina, when Hiroko finally gets her hands on a [[Mon|Shadow Dragon]], [[It Got Worse|things get very bloody very quickly]]. The Shadow Dragon in question, Oni, maims and kills those who [[Break the Cutie|broke her so thoroughly]] ''very'' horribly, with the [[Squick|worst of it]] reserved for the [[Alpha Bitch]] herself, {{spoiler|raping her before tearing her body in half}}. But when Shiina finally catches up to Hiroko herself, she's [[Dissonant Serenity|disturbingly calm]] as Oni kidnaps and tortures Shiina's father in an attempt to [[We Can Rule Together|break Shiina's bonds to her family and join her cause]].

* Rushuna Tendo trashes an entire castle full of armed guards to get to the Jester after she thinks he's killed one of her friends in ''[[Grenadier (Anime)|Grenadier]]'' (she's still alive, of course, but in the manga she's not so lucky).

* ''[[Black Lagoon (Anime)|Black Lagoon]]'': Clumsy maid Roberta's master is killed at the start of the ''El Baile de la Muerte'' arc. Considering she's also an [[Ax Crazy]] [[Implacable Man]] ex-FARC member, it gets very, very messy.

* Goldie Musou has one of these as her [[Start of Darkness]] in ''[[Gunsmith Cats (Manga)|Gunsmith Cats]]''. Although she was a granddaughter of a Mafia Don, she was a decent human being, but after she found out her parents' death wasn't an accident, she used her extensive knowledge of chemistry to brainwash the family members of the killers, forcing them to kill their own families, and then killing them. By the time she was done she had lost her sense of empathy entirely, and [[Complete Monster|started to consider all people toys or tools for her own amusement]].

* In ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'', after Light {{spoiler|gets his memories back and Rem kills Watari and L for him}} every sinner he met {{spoiler|while he had no memories of the Death Note}} is in BIG trouble when he gets out that pen and the [[Ominous Latin Chanting]] begins.

* This is what happens with [[Baccano (Light Novel)!|Jacuzzi Splot]] [[Beware the Nice Ones|should you be dumb enough to push him out of his normal]] [[Shrinking Violet]] [[Martyr Without a Cause]] personality (last time it happened, he went machine guns ablazin' and robbed eighteen speakeasies in one night, with tears streaming down his face). Of course, who you should ''really'' worry about is {{spoiler|a certain redheaded conductor}} that does ''not'' take too kindly to the death of his mentor. When he finds out who did it, he decides to kill him, bathe himself in his blood, go after his friends, go after his ''friends''' friends, and generally act like [[Nightmare Fuel]] incarnate for the next ten episodes or so.

* In ''[[Gintama (Manga)|Gintama]]'', [[Nietzsche Wannabe|Takasugi Shinsuke]] constantly plots to completely destroy Japanese society in order to avenge {{spoiler|his teacher}}'s death and out of resentment for the growing alien influence in Japan, as he had once participated in a failed armed uprising to drive out those very same aliens.

* A misdirected one in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha As (Anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha AsA's]]''. After the [[Artifact of Doom|Book of Darkness]] was awakened by {{spoiler|the two [[Mask Power|Masked Men]] disguised as Nanoha and Fate}} playing [[Break the Cutie]] on Hayate, it was no surprise that its first task involved taking revenge by trying to kill Nanoha and Fate.

* Perpetrated in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (Animeanime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'' by {{spoiler|Thief King Bakura, Spirit of the Millennium Ring}} way back in the day. {{spoiler|Atem's uncle Akunadin}} [[Doomed Hometown|killed his entire village]] {{spoiler|to make the millennium items}}. To get back, the Thief King made [[Deal Withwith the Devil|a deal with Zorc]], and what we see of him in that era consists of going on a murderous rampage against Atem and his court. After stewing for a few millennia, he returns. Sort of.

* Sasuke from ''[[Naruto (Manga)|Naruto]]''. His reason for living was that he wanted to kill his [[Aloof Big Brother]], Itachi, for murdering their clan. {{spoiler|When [[Big Bad|Tobi]] reveals that Itachi was ordered to kill the Uchiha by Konoha's higher-ups, Sasuke [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope|snaps]] and declares that his new goal is to destroy Konoha in order to avenge Itachi. Previously he had held back on killing or severely injuring bystanders; now he seems to just be attacking anybody and everything that gets in the way}}.

* ''[[Slayers (Anime)|Slayers]] Next'' had a scene close to the end, during an epic match against [[The Chessmaster]] Phibrizzo, where {{spoiler|Phibrizzo starts using what appear to be beads of life to kill the heroes one by one.}} When it comes to Amelia's turn, {{spoiler|she predictably dies. In Zelgadiss's arms.}} Zelgadiss spends all of ten seconds trying to wake her up before he charges, attempting to fulfill this trope...of course, it's subverted, because {{spoiler|guess who was next?}}

* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima (Manga)|Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has {{spoiler|Negi starting one of these when [[Smug Snake|Kurt Godel]] reveals that he was the one responsible for [[Doomed Hometown|the destruction of Negi's hometown.]]}}

* Goku has one of these in ''[[Dragon Ball (Manga)|Dragon Ball]]''. He'd been fighting the Red Ribbon Army for a while, but was never really antagonistic towards him. He just wanted to find his Grandpa's Dragon Ball, the RR army tried to stop him, so he kicked their ass. But when the Army hired Tao-Pai-Pai, the mercenary, to take out Goku, Tao killed the father of Goku's new friend. Goku eventually killed Tao and had his Dragon Ball, but he decided to find the rest of them so he could wish his ally back. So he stormed the Red Ribbon Army base, killed pretty much everyone there, took out the newly-made leader (the former leader was executed by his second in command after the latter learned about the true nature of the original leader's goal involving a wish was completely trivial and actually endangered their existence), and got the Dragon Balls and felled the terrorist army in one fell swoop.

** Let's not forget what happened when Goku's best friend Krillin was killed for the first time. Goku went berserk at this and immediately sought punishment on the demon that had murdered the kid... but this time he wasn't successful, and ended up defeated by said monster.

** How can one forget how he went [[Super Mode]] [[Took a Level Inin Badass|Saiyan]] after [[Big Bad|Frieza]] [[Moral Event Horizon|explodes]] [[The Lancer|Krillin]] [[For the Evulz|for]] [[Complete Monster|the hell]] of it. It was a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|satisfying]] when he finally defeated him, [[You Killed My Father|very]] much.

** Trunks, after [[Took a Level Inin Badass|taking several levels of badass]] training in the past and helping in the Cell Saga, goes on one of these upon returning to the future. {{spoiler|1=Now stronger than ever, he proceeds to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ3ZnzmkbWw&feature=related hunt down the Androids] and [[Curb Stomp Battle|curbstomps them both with little effort]], even shouting [[And This Is For|"THIS IS FOR GOHAN!"]] before completely obliterating 18 in one blast. Adding even more to it is the fact he makes the entire fight one long [[Reason You Suck Speech]], rubbing in the fact he's going to make them feel exactly how they made his friends feel when they killed them. Not quite finished yet, he then waits for Cell to come after him, knowing that with the Androids dead, Cell will try and get his time machine to return to the past, then when [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOUhK-mmmco&feature=related he shows up destroy him as well]. While this particular Cell really hadn't done anything to Trunks yet, he's still a mass murderer in this timeline as well and Trunks knows it, so it still counts. What makes this even better is Trunks was really toying with Cell before finishing him off, exactly how Cell likes to do it.}}

* In chapter 392 ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]'', {{spoiler|Hitsugaya}} fits this trope particularly well. {{spoiler|He confronts Aizen for the first time since the latter's defection from the Soul Society, telling him that swinging a blade in pure anger is just violence, not as a duty of a captain and that Aizen could not call that a true fight; when Aizen then asks Hitsugaya if his hatred had vanished since Hinamori, Hitsugaya's childhood friend and Aizen's former lieutenant, was alive after Aizen had stabbed her, Hitsugaya tells Aizen he did not come here to merely fight him, but to do violence to him. Things take a rather nasty turn for him in chapter 392, after Aizen sets up an illusion to fool Hitsugaya into thinking that he's stabbed Aizen, when in reality, he's stabbed Hinamori. If [http://www.mangareader.net/94-47010-20/bleach/chapter-392.html the face] Hitsugaya makes upon realizing what's happened does not scream roaring rampage of revenge, I don't know what will.}}

* ''[[Kare Kano (Manga)|Kare Kano]]'': played for laughs when Tsubasa, angered that Arima loves Yukino, goes too far, she finally pushes Yukino into a rampage which shocks and awes much of the school; Yukino's [[Art Shift]] gives her a suitably demonic cast as she mercilessly pursues her terrified prey...

* In spite of all the different reasons the characters in ''[[Rave Master (Manga)|Rave Master]]'' give, in the end Lucia's actions are really just him lashing out at the world as a whole for making his childhood a living hell.

* In the 7th ''[[Hellsing (Manga)|Hellsing]]'' OVA Zorin has just severely wounded Seras and killed Pip. To add insult to injury she then refers to the dead Pip as a mere insect. Cue Seras completely losing her shit and slaughtering Zorin's army and Zorin herself.

* Chiba of ''[[Wolf Guy Wolfen Crest (Manga)|Wolf Guy Wolfen Crest]]'' does this {{spoiler|upon coming back to life}} by going after Haguro for {{spoiler|brutally raping and murdering him}}.

** Also deliberately invoked when [[Complete Monster|Haguro]] {{spoiler|manipulates the younger Kuroda into [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|going Columbine]] on half the student body out of vengeance against Inugami for his brother's death. Using weapons from his family gun cellar. [[Moral Event Horizon|The kicker?]] His brother died because '''HAGURO''' pulled his life-support.}}

* ''[[Akumetsu (Manga)|Akumetsu]]'': {{spoiler|Most everything was a result of Shou responding to Katsuragi's death. Additionally, his retaliation when his teacher is shot in the 3-B incident.}}

* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': Gendo does a [[Shoot the Dog]] moment when faced with the 13th Angel, Bardiel, who had just taken control of the Eva Unit 03 moments before the first test was supposed to start. When Shinji refused to destroy the Angel (and the Eva with it) due to the risk of injuring the Eva's pilot, Gendo takes control of the situation and takes Eva Unit 01 from Shinji's control, using a backup system to do the deed. Needless to say, Shinji isn't happy, and attempts a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]... before being stopped by Gendo himself.

** This goes down differently, and more true to the trope, in ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion (Film)|Rebuild of Evangelion]]'', where rather than being locked into the launch cage and threatening to escape [[Fridge Logic|(how the hell did they get an Evangelion which was actively about to go on a destructive rampage into a launch cage?)]] Shinji is next seen stomping a mudhole into the top of the Geofront with Unit 01. As before, Gendo increases the pressure of the LCL and the rampage is stopped short. However, later on, {{spoiler|when Rei Ayanami/Unit 00 is devoured by Zeruel (the devouring only happens in the movie, but otherwise is quite similar), Shinji gets in Unit 01 again. Unit 01 comes to a stop while working its way through Zeruel, out of power, and this is where the true road cone of the series starts. In the series, Shinji devolves into a sobbing heap, and Unit 01 goes berserk on its own, eventually devouring the Angel in the process. In Rebuild, Shinji growls out furiously, "Give Ayanami '''back.'''" And those words Unit 01 stands back up, now beginning the process of starting [[The End of the World Asas We Know It|Third Impact]] - and the process of stomping Zeruel flat.}} Long story short. Do not, ever, make Shinji want vengeance.

* ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho (Manga)|Yu Yu Hakusho]]'': After Sensui {{spoiler|kills Yusuke,}} Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama set out on one of these jointly. Kurama transforms, Hiei releases his Kokuryuuha, and Kuwabara {{spoiler|slices apart the barrier with his new [[Infinity+1 Sword|Jigen-to]]}} in their fury. They chase him all the way into Makai for the express purpose of killing him. However, {{spoiler|despite the rage power-up, they're still horribly outclassed and Sensui [[Curb Stomp Battle|kicks the crap out of them.]]}}

** Played straighter when [[Blood Knight|Younger Toguro]] [[Moral Event Horizon|KILLS]] [[The Obi-Wan|Genkai]] in front of his eyes; [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|it]] [[Megaton Punch|was]] [[Kick the Son of Aa Bitch|worth]] watching what Yusuke does to him in the final round.

* Giriko from ''[[Soul Eater (Manga)|Soul Eater]]'' goes on one against Soul and Maka following Arachne's death.

* {{spoiler|When his friend Kimishima dies}} Kazuma of [[S-Cry-ed (Anime)|S-Cry-ed]] flips his lid, finding the nearest HOLY unit and totally decimating it.

* When [[Big Bad|Kodai]] finally gets his claws on [[Pokémon: Zoroark: Master of Illusions (Anime)|Zorua]], the little guy's mother [[Mama Bear|Zoroark]] finally has enough and proceeds to tear her way out of her prison (a steel-encased metal cage that severely shocks her whenever she touches it and to that point was unable to break out of) and go one one of these. She is delayed by a misunderstanding with the town's guardian [[Olympus Mons]] (though this is part of the reason she fought three Legendary Pokémon to a standstill), but once it's settled, she proceeds to one-shot [[The Dragon]] and his Pokémon, then moves on to hunt down Kodai and, while she doesn't actually physically hurt him, sets up his [[Humiliation Conga|humiliating]] defeat and reclaims her baby. And he was likely quite lucky the cops got to him before she could.

* In ''[[Holyland (Manga)|Holyland]]'', Yuu goes on one of these after {{spoiler|Shinichi is attacked by Sawako gang members.}}

* ''[[Gun X Sword (Anime)|Gun X Sword]]'' bases its entire ''plot'' on this. The entire thrust of the series is Van seeking revenge on the Claw for killing his bride. It gets more complicated than that, but the final confrontation comes down to {{spoiler|a man seeking revenge, the man he seeks revenge on, and a sword in one man's hand. Nobody else is present. Nobody else is involved.}}

* In ''[[Katanagatari (Literature)|Katanagatari]]'' after {{spoiler|Togame dies in Shichika's arms}} the main protagonist proceeds to climb a pagoda to the Shogun and {{spoiler|destroy every weapon he had spent the last year collecting a long with most of the poor saps who were using them at the time,}} in what can only amount to a series of consecutive [[Curb Stomp Battle|Curb Stomp Battles]]s leading up to the inevitable confrontation with [[The Dragon]] {{spoiler|who killed Togame previously}} in which the only damage that was inflicted was ''the damage Shichika allowed''. Did I mention this guy was fighting them all unarmed?

* Hakkai from ''[[Saiyuki (Manga)|Saiyuki]]'' massacred at least 1,000 demons plus an entire village of humans because some of the demons kidnapped and raped his sister/lover and because the rest didn't stop the poor girl's kidnapping for fear that the demons would target their family members instead.

* ''[[Kekkaishi (Manga)|Kekkaishi]]'' - After one of the [[Co-Dragons]] [[Blood Knight|Kaguro]] {{spoiler|kills Gen}}, Yoshimori goes on [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]], allowing himself to be captured by Kokuboro just so that he can kill the [[Complete Monster|bastard]] with his own hands.

* ''[[Gantz (Anime)|Gantz]]'' - {{spoiler|Hiroto Sakurai goes absolutely ballistic once he found his girlfriend, Tonkotsu, dead during the latest arc. In a total berserk state, he decides to dish out ultimate pain on the invading aliens (who are, easily, 30 times his size) by blowing their brains up with his psychic powers of mass murder, not sparing a single one. Not even children or elderly. And he's still at it.}} I certainly wouldn't want to cross in this guy's way.

* In ''[[Hunter X Hunter (Manga)|Hunter X Hunter]]'', Gon snaps when Neferpitou tells him that {{spoiler|Kaitou isn't just Pitou's puppet, he's ''dead''. By Pitou's hand.}} Furious at Pitou and even more furious at himself for {{spoiler|leaving Kaitou behind to die}}, Gon decides that the only thing that matters now in life is ''killing Pitou in the most brutal fashion possible''. And so he does {{spoiler|by using a [[Deadly Upgrade]] that ages him to an adult, shortens his lifespan, and comes with the risk of never being able to use nen again after it wears off. And Gon ''still'' loses an arm for his effort.}}

* In ''[[Zettai Karen Children (Manga)|Zettai Karen Children]],'' the main reason [[Big Bad]] Kyosuke [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?|doesn't use his powers to off Minamoto]] is because he knows that if he does, Kaoru is going on one of these- ''right at him.''

* ''[[Pandora Hearts (Manga)|Pandora Hearts]]'': Break pretty much went batshit crazy when he thought [[Ho Yay|Reim]] had died.

* Tsuna of ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn (Manga)|Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'' went on one against Byakuran following Gamma and Uni's [[Heroic Sacrifice]]. He kinda hit Byakuran with an X-burner so hard that Byakuran vaporized. Scary...

* In ''[[Durarara (Light Novel)|Durarara!!]]'' Shinra took a knife for Izaya and Izaya's reaction is to extract revenge on the person that stabbed him, Nakura, and continue to to torment him well after they graduate. This is one of the few times that Izaya shows human behavior.

* Raikou of ''[[Nabari no Ou (Manga)|Nabari no Ou]]'' is [[Ho Yay|protective of Gau]] to the point that when a mook hurts Gau, Raikou goes completely berserk, kills him, and mutilates his dead body.

* ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'': When Yomi manages to eat curry noodles without splattering it all over herself, Tomo is pushed over the top and goes on a rampage in the lunchroom with tears in her eyes until she accidentally hits Yukari. Yukari's subsequent reaction must be seen to be believed.

* In ''[[ToA AruCertain Kagaku no Railgun (Manga)|To Aru Kagaku noScientific Railgun]]'', Misaka Mikoto has just met her clone for the first time, and evidence is piling up that she is about to participate in an experiment that will end in her death. She goes to the designated spot and watches Accelerator brutally murder the clone. When trying to kill him doesn't work, she destroys thirty research laboratories in ''three days'' to try and stop the program.

{{quote| ''(in flashback)'' '''Kuroko:''' What would you do if a clone of yours appeared before you?<br />

'''Mikoto:''' Ah, that would freak me out. I think I would wish it would just disappear.<br />

''(present):'' Mikoto '''[[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|goes ballistic]]''' on Accelerator) }}

* [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]] spinoff ''[[X-Factor (Comic Bookcomics)|X-Factor]]'' shows even an enemy's simulator knows that if you hurt/kill Rictor, Shatterstar's Roaring Rampage Of Revenge would come next, quickly followed by your demise.

* In ''[[The Sandman (Comic Book)|The Sandman]]'', Hippolyta Hall sends the <s>Furies</s> Kindly Ones to attack the Dreaming because [[Mama Bear|she thinks Morpheus killed her son]].

* In all adaptations of ''[[The Punisher]]'', the entire plot revolves around this, to the point where its less a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] and more of a Roaring ''Marathon'' of Revenge. In the comic, Frank Castle's family was killed when they stumbled upon a mob execution while having a picnic in a park. In revenge, Frank kills the people responsible and then goes on to kill all the other criminals he can find. In [[The Punisher (Filmfilm)|the movie]], Frank was once in the FBI, and his family was specifically targeted.

** The ultimate example comes in the form of ''Punisher Kills the Marvel Universe,'' which is [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]. Whether this represents a parody or a crowning homage to the character is open to debate.

* The [[Incredible Hulk (Comic Book)|Incredible Hulk]] goes on one of these in the [[Crossover]] ''[[World War Hulk]]''. Why? The six most influential people in the Marvel Universe secretly shot him into outer space to die, except he landed on a savage planet that accepted and loved him for what he was. {{spoiler|Then the ship he arrived in exploded, nuked the planet, and killed the Hulk's alien wife.}}

** Marvel had recently [[Retcon|retconnedretcon]]ned several of its main heroes into [[Civil War (Comic Book)|such utter douchebags]] that even though the Hulk was [[Designated Villain|technically the villain]] of the story, most readers were rooting for him to smash the jerks.

*** {{spoiler|Not that they were guilty of nuking a planet, mind; Hulk just ''thought'' they were. In reality, one of his teammates turned out to be [[Ax Crazy]] and had triggered it on purpose, to ''prompt'' one of these rampages, because the only time he found meaning in his life was fighting side by side with the Hulk against somebody. Hulk thought there must have been a bomb on the ship, but in truth the villain just messed with the engine.}} Also, many writers agreed with the fans that the heroes were being written poorly; you were probably ''supposed'' to root for the Hulk, even if you kind of figured out that the heroes were at least partly [[Mis BlamedMisblamed]] and the truth would be found out at the end. There was still a sense that they had [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard|brought this on themselves.]]

** And don't forget about Matsu'o, who commissioned the murder of Logan's lover Mariko. {{spoiler|Every year on the anniversary of Mariko's death Logan cuts off a little bit more of Matsu'o; he's currently missing his right arm, right ear, nose, and gall bladder. If it weren't for [[Comic Book Time]] he'd probably be [[Futurama (Animation)|a head in a jar]] before his death. Wolverine said his punishment wasn't over but finally relented and let Psylocke finish him off.}}

** Then there's [[Mark Millar]]'s "Enemy of the State" and "Agent of SHIELD" arcs where [[A Nazi Byby Any Other Name|Hydra]], [[Religion of Evil|The]] [[Ninja|Hand]], [[Mad Scientist|AIM]], and upstart group [[Cult|Dawn Of The White Light]] lure Logan in by kidnapping {{spoiler|and killing}} an innocent child. Then they brainwash him and send him after the super-hero community like the weapon he once was. When he gets his mind back, he {{spoiler|reprograms a Sentinel to kill the hundreds of members of the Dawn of the White Light mutant group, then kills thousands of Hand members, then kills 40,000+ Hydra agents, then slices up the dozens of thugs who were tangentially related to just the kidnapping aspect.}}

** And then there's his horror movie style hunting down of a bunch of guys who broke the spirit of a nun to the point where she begged Wolverine to make them suffer, which he did on the five year anniversary of her death (they didn't kill or even harm the nun, just broke her spirit with fake execution after fake execution, and Logan was avenging the loss of her innocence). And his slaughter of the pirates/slavers who hijacked a plane carrying one of Mariko's personal secretary was in part to avenge those that they'd murdered or worse over the years. And the slapstick one he did on the Madripoor underworld using [[Incredible Hulk (Comic Book)|Mr. Fixit]] as a proxy.

** Suffice to say, [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] is Wolverine's primary mode of communication.

* Near the end of the comic book series ''[[Fifty Two52]]'', [[Black Adam]]'s wife and brother-in-law are killed. As it was the death of his first wife that caused his original fall from grace, it is unsurprising that the death of the second led to him going on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]], wiping out the country that harbored the murderers, and anybody else that stood in his way. It doesn't end well, though, as the nerdy [[Mad Scientist|Mad Scientists]]s behind her death soundly kick his ass [[For Science!|with SCIENCE]].

* Abslom Daak, from the ''[[Doctor Who Magazine (Magazine)|Doctor Who Magazine]]'' comics. Because they killed his lover (whose corpse, now cryogenically frozen, makes her into a literal [[Women in Refrigerators|woman in a refrigerator]]) he's gonna kill every last stinking Dalek in the galaxy. Implicitly, a bit of a lunkhead, which got made explicit when he got to meet the Doctor, who took the mickey out of him.

* Subverted in ''[[Fables (Comic Book)|Fables]]''. Flycatcher wants to go on one of these after remembering what the Empire's soldiers did to his family, but Boy Blue refuses to teach him the secrets of the Witching Cloak that would let him do this, because he doesn't want to corrupt the only truly innocent Fable left. Ironically, this leads to him taking out the Empire's most powerful magic source, and causing far more damage to the Empire's armies than he ever could have on a RROR without ever killing a single soul.

* After the apparent death of {{spoiler|Batman}} in ''[[Final Crisis]]'', [[Superman (Comic Book)|Superman]] returns to Bludhaven with a Roaring Rampage of Heat Vision, taking down as many of Darkseid's troops as he can see.

* The entire plot of the Luna brothers' ''[[The Sword]]'' is Dara Brighton's vengeance quest against the three demigod siblings who murdered her family.

** [[Ultimate Marvel]] recently re-introduced the Ghost Rider, [[Adaptation Distillation|distilling]] his origin as he and his lover Roxanne were innocents killed as human sacrifices, so the perpetrators could [[Deal Withwith the Devil|bargain for power from Mephisto]]. As it turns out, Ultimate Johnny Blaze sold his soul to Mephisto, too. All so Roxanne could be spared the suffering, and Johnny could hunt and kill the monsters that did this to them. Just one problem: {{spoiler|One of the sacrificers is now the U.S. vice-president.}}

* In both the [[Iron Man (Filmfilm)|movie]] ''and'' the original comics, [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]] goes on a short but absolutely '' kickass'' one of these after the terrorists who have been holding him and another man (Yinsen) hostage end up killing Yinsen. In response, Tony takes the badass suit of armor he designed and built [[Memetic Mutation|in a cave, with a box of scraps]] and a goddamned improvised ''forge'', and then [[Took a Level Inin Badass|breaks the fuck out]] and proceeds to use the suit's built-in [[Kill It Withwith Fire|flamethrowers]] to [[Tranquil Fury|kill everyone]] stupid enough not to run away screaming, and then he [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|explodes the entire terrorist hideout]], thus quite effectively taking out anyone who managed to avoid being roasted to death. It is all very much a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].

* In ''[[Ms. Tree (Comic Book)|Ms. Tree]]'', Michael practically makes a career of this. Any time there is an attack on her, her family or her friends, this is almost guaranteed to be a huge stack of enemy corpses at the end of it. It got to the stage where [[The Mafia]] didn't want to mess with her because it was too costly for them.

* In the ''[[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers (Animation)|Galaxy Rangers]]'' fanfic "Chrysalis," the Queen manages to break Zachary by torturing his Rangers in front of him, making him think he witnessed Niko's execution, casually discussing her plans for Earth in front of him, and following it up with telepathic [[Mind Rape]]. When Niko actually comes back with the BETA fleet, the Queen, in a rage, starts to kill her in front of Zach. He flips out, grabs the Queen, puts them BOTH in the Psychocrypt, ''activates his bionics without having access to his badge'' and blasts her into ash.

{{quote| "If it will end the nightmare, then I don't care. I'm already dead. This is for the two years of my life you've stolen from me, you BITCH!!!"}}

* Abused daughter Batel of ''[[Toy Hammer (Fanfic)|Toy HammerToyHammer]]'''s roaring part of her rampage of revenge begins when she calls out her step-father, while giving in to her more evil nature. Not much detail on what exactly, but the [[Complete Monster|sadistic man]] treated the mother and daughter both like 'toys', so the worst can be assumed.

* In the ''[[Family Guy (Animation)|Family Guy]]'' fanfic ''[[Attack of the 100 Foot Meg Griffin (Fanfic)|Attack of the 100 Foot Meg Griffin]]'', well...guess what happens at one point.

* In the ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4252182/1/The_Chong_Sheng_Trilogy_Peace Chong Sheng], Katara goes on one of these when {{spoiler|the Rough Rhinos taunt her after torturing and murdering Jet right in front of her.}} Though it warrants mentioning that the distinct ''lack'' of roaring on her part is what makes it [[Nightmare Fuel]].

* In ''[[The Servants of Ungoliant (Fanfic)|The Servants of Ungoliant]]'', Daurin goes on one of these against a group of Gongs after they brutally slaughter several Elves.

* In ''[[Kill Bill (Film)|Kill Bill]]'', the main protagonist goes on a rampage upon seeing anybody who betrayed her at her wedding rehearsal.

** Surprisingly, ''Kill Bill'' is ''not'' the [[Trope Namer]]: Tarantino used the phrase in a [[Shout -Out]] to the [[Biker Film]] ''[[Older Than They Think|Bury Me An Angel]]''.

* ''[[Kill Bill (Film)|Kill Bill]]'' was inspired by the film and manga series ''[[Lady Snowblood]]'', which is about Oyuki, a female assassin on her own [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] for the murder of her mother's family and the rape of her mother. The mother had Oyuki in prison after killing the first of her four tormentors and being caught by the police, and before she died, she charged her daughter with taking vengeance upon the other three that she was unable to kill.

* The ''[[Joshuu Sasori (Film)|Joshuu Sasori]]'' ([[Female Prisoner Scorpion]]) series, another inspiration for ''[[Kill Bill]]'', features an ordinary woman imprisoned after botching her attempt at revenge. The thing that keeps her going is [[Rape and Revenge|her desire to wreak vengeance on her rapists]] and on the detective she loved, who set the rape up purely in order to catch her rapists. Most of the film deals with the run-up to her roaring rampage, but [[Extreme Melee Revenge|she doesn't mess about]] once she starts.

** John Matrix in ''[[Commando (Filmfilm)|Commando]]'' goes on one of these when his daughter is kidnapped. "Remember when I said I'll kill you last? I lied."

** ''[[Raw Deal (Film)|Raw Deal]]'', on behalf of his friend.

* In ''[[Taken (Filmfilm)|Taken]]'', Liam Neeson warns: "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." [[Too Dumb to Live|The bad guy]] is less than impressed by this [[Badass Boast]], [[What an Idiot!|to his great misfortune.]]

* The Mariachi from ''[[Desperado]]'' takes on an entire town full of bad guys, including no fewer than two [[Bad Guy Bar|Bad Guy Bars]]s, in order to get to Bucho, {{spoiler|[[Cain and Abel|his own brother]]}} and apparent boss of the murderer of the woman he loved.

** In ''Hang 'Em High'', Eastwood's character only wants to bring the men who almost killed him to justice,<ref>Though ''that'' may well kill them</ref> but most of them fight back, turning his quest into a bloodbath.

** ''[[Pale Rider]]''

** ''[[High Plains Drifter]]'' implies that Eastwood's character is a dead man's ghost returned for revenge on the town that betrayed him

** In ''[[Unforgiven (Film)|Unforgiven]]'', Eastwood's character reverts to his murderous ways to avenge a friend's death

* The premise behind ''[[Death Wish (Film)|Death Wish]]'', in which a regular joe played by [[Charles Bronson]] goes on a vigilante killing spree after his wife is murdered and his daughter raped by three punks.

* The western ''[[Tombstone]]'', in which Wyatt Earp swears to wipe out an entire band of outlaws who ambushed his brothers. This was based on a [[Real Life]] feud, though the actual story was a little less black and white as the movie and Earp himself would have us believe.

* Both Major Henry West and Jim from ''[[Twenty Eight28 Days Later (Film)|Twenty Eight Days Later]]'' have some degree of this. After he and his two female companions get brutalized by a squad of soldiers, normal joe Jim [[Let's Get Dangerous|gets dangerous]] and goes on a cathartic rampage, gouging out one soldier's eyes with his thumbs. Major West, seeing what's become of his "boys," loses what precious little sanity he had left.

* ''[[Man On Fire (Film)|Man Onon Fire]]'' has [[Denzel Washington]]'s character systematically torturing and murdering everyone who is even tangentially related to the kidnapping of his young ward. Amazingly, this is a toned down version of the book.

** In ''[[Once Upon a Time Inin Thethe West]]'' Charles Bronson plays a [[No Name Given|nameless]] [[The Drifter|drifter]] who obviously has a serious beef against Henry Fonda's Frank, going as far as to protect him from his other enemies just so he can have the privilege of [[Enemy Mine|killing Frank himself]]. In the end, we find out that he's avenging his brother.

* The titular killer whale in ''[[Orca: theThe Killer Whale (Film)|Orca the Killer Whale]]'' lives up to the killer part after whalers kill his mate and calf. Fear the [[Papa Wolf]] whale rage!

* In ''[[Pumpkinhead (Film)|Pumpkinhead]]'', Lance Henriksen summons the eponymous demon of vengeance after some teens accidentally run over his son. The demon is so brutal that Henriksen quickly has a [[My God, What Have I Done?]] moment.

* John Preston goes on a [[Tranquil Fury|calmer]] version of this trope in the final scenes of ''[[Equilibrium]]'' after {{spoiler|the woman he loves is executed by the Librian government and he is [[Out -Gambitted|suckered]] into leading the resistance into a trap.}}

* In ''[[Return of the Jedi (Film)|Return of the Jedi]]'', Luke goes psycho on Vader for merely threatening to go after his sister Leia.

* The title character in ''[[Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Filmfilm)|Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street]]'', after failing to kill his intended target, [[Lawful Evil|Judge Turpin]], has an epiphany that "they all deserve to die" and starts cutting throats indiscriminately.

* [[Mel Gibson (Creator)|Mel Gibson]] either loves this trope or loves making money off of it. Probably both.

** ''[[Mad Max (Film)|Mad Max]]'', Gibson's very first starring role, is based on a disenchanted cop who wants to retire with his family, until his family is slaughtered by a biker gang and he comes back to kill each and every one of them.

** ''[[Braveheart]]'', inspired by the possibly [[Real Life]] rampage of revenge of William Wallace, whose wife Marian was said to have been killed by the English.

** ''[[The Patriot]]'' features Gibson's character as well as his eldest son inspired to slaughter every British soldier in sight for the death of a family member. As if that wasn't enough inspiration, Gibson's rampage is kicked into overdrive when {{spoiler|his eldest son is also killed by the same damn British soldier.}}

** ''[[Lethal Weapon 2]]''. Riggs slaughters a bunch of dirty South African drug runners for {{spoiler|drowning his love interest. [[The Dragon]] also reveals that he killed Riggs' wife years earlier, though he meant to kill Riggs.}}

** At one point [[Badass|he kicks someone through a wooden wall]].

* The ''[[Darkman (Film)|Darkman]]'' films are based around this trope, with the titular character returning to take revenge on the mobsters that very nearly killed him.

* ''[[Max Payne (Filmfilm)|Max Payne]]'' had the titular character trying to avenge the death of his family at the hands of drug addicted felons. However, he doesn't go on an actual ''rampage'' until the last half hour, when he finds out the true identity of his family's killers.

* Almost the entire plot of ''[[Quantum of Solace (Film)|Quantum of Solace]]'', since it focuses on [[James Bond (Filmfilm)|James Bond]]'s desire to bring {{spoiler|Vesper}}'s killers to justice. {{spoiler|However, he does NOT kill the one who is the most responsible for it, thus either demonstrating that his objective was truly the movie title and not revenge, or simply that he handed down a Fate Worse Than Death.}}

* Subverted in, of all things, ''[[Repo! theThe Genetic Opera (Film)|Repo the Genetic Opera]]''. [[Papa Wolf|Nathan]] [[Psycho for Hire|Wallace]] figures out Rotti's plan to take his daughter away and gets off to a great start, taking out several machine-gun-toting cops with only his scalpels, and then {{spoiler|is promptly taken down by Luigi Largo and the henchgirls. This is about the point he realises that he is in deep shit (and Rotti got upgraded from [[Manipulative Bastard]] to [[Magnificent Bastard]].}}

* Chingachgook goes on one of these in ''[[The Last of the Mohicans (Film)|The Last of the Mohicans]]'' {{spoiler|after Uncas is killed by Magua. He and Hawkeye plow through Magua's mooks, and Magua himself doesn't stand a chance against Papa Wolf.}}

* In ''[[300 (Film)|Three Hundred]]'', when {{spoiler|the Captain's son gets beheaded by a charging Persian cavalryman, he literally cuts a complete swathe through the Persian assault to reach his son's corpse.}} The other Spartans drag him back behind their lines before he can get himself killed. It's something of a literal example, since his cries are said to terrify the Persian horde.

* ''[[Navajo Joe]]''. When a group of [[Complete Monster|lowlife renegade cowboys]] kill and scalp his whole tribe, including his wife, let's just say [[Gotta Kill Them All|it doesn't turn out very good for 'em]].

* [[Brad Pitt]]'s character, Louis, in ''[[Interview Withwith the Vampire]]'' goes on a doozy of one after Claudia is turned to ashes by Armand's vampires.

* The 2010 Korean film ''[[I Saw the Devil (Film)|I Saw the Devil]]'' is in some ways a deconstruction of the protagonists of these sort of films and their [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]] revenge plots. [[The Hero]] is a cop whose fiance is murdered by a sadistic serial killer. After discovering the identity of the killer, after [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique|brutally torturing three possible suspects who are ultimately innocent of the crime]], he decides to make killer's life a living hell following him around beating him up, letting him go and then beating him up again later hoping to make the man suffer just as much as he has. This is all well and good except that along the way several innocent people are harmed because of the hero's refusal to just kill the villain and the killer ultimately snaps [[The Dog Bites Back|and proceeds to torture or kill the hero's loved ones]]. This in turn leads to {{spoiler|[[Moral Event Horizon|the hero making sure the killer dies in front of his innocent parents and son]] which ultimately brings the hero absolutely no solace and arguably makes him as much of a monster as the villain.}}

* ''[[Tank Girl (Filmfilm)|Tank Girl]]''. After DeeTee is killed, the other Rippers attack and slaughter large numbers of Water and Power troops.

** ''[[Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance]]'' features ''two'' rampages colliding after a well-intentioned kidnapping results in tragedy.

** ''[[Old BoyOldboy]]'' features a man trapped in a hotel room for 15 years, only to be released without explanation. As he starts his roaring rampage to uncover the culprit, he learns that his imprisonment was itself motivated by revenge.

* Big Daddy in ''[[Kick -Ass (Filmfilm)|Kick Ass]]'' has turned his entire life (and that of his daughter's) into a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. This is quite different in the graphic novel.

* Honorary mention goes to ''[[The Lord of the Rings (Filmfilm)|The Two Towers]]'', where Ents begin their rampage with a BIG ROAR. And they are also going methodically: they destroy the walls, stomp the orcs and finally flood the whole thing while the walking trees finish off the orcs that went to Helm's Deep.

* [[Solomon Kane]] in [[Solomon Kane (Filmfilm)|the movie]] goes on a pretty epic [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] about halfway through the movie after {{spoiler|the kind family he was travelling with is brutally massacred by a pack of Malachi's bandits.}} Kane does not take this well. At all.

* The Moorwen in ''[[Outlander (Filmfilm)|Outlander]]'' wants to kill every [[Human Alien]] in the universe for the genocide of its species.

* There are at least two film subgenres dedicated completely to this trope: exploitation revenge, and [[Rape and Revenge]].

** One of the classic examples of the former is ''Rolling Thunder'', in which William Devane and Tommy Lee Jones play [[Returning War Vet|soldiers returning from Vietnam]] who hunt down the killers of Devane's character's family.

** The most notorious example of the latter is ''[[I Spit Onon Your Grave]]'', in which Camille Keaton's character exacts ''violent'' revenge on several men who brutally [[Rape Asas Drama|gang-raped her]].

* In ''[[Short Circuit (Film)|Short Circuit]] 2'', Johnny Five goes for this after [[Big Bad]] Oscar and his goons beat Five to Hell and back.

* Subverted in [[Léon: The Professional]]. {{spoiler|Matilda has trained with the hitman Leon. By chance, she learns of where the people she wants her revenge on work. She arms herself, sneaks in successfully, hunts down [[Big Bad|Stansfield ]] in the bathroom, and is promptly caught and very nearly shot dead by the same.}}

* ''[[X -Men: First Class (Film)|X Men First Class]]'' features much [[Ho Yay]] between Erik and Charles including Erik cradling Charles's injured body and trying to kill the person responsible.

* Loki in ''[[The Avengers (Filmfilm)|The Avengers]]'', [[Freudian Excuse|driven]] by [[The Resenter|jealousy]] of [[The Unfavourite|his brother Thor]], decides to [[Fantastic Racism|subjugate the entire population of Earth]]. In doing so, he establishes himself as the [[Big Bad]] and pisses off a lot of heroes.

* In ''[[Posse (Filmfilm)|Posse]]'', Jesse Lee carves a bloody path across the west, hunting down the men who killed his father.

* Also [[The Stoic|calm]] is Kirth Gersen, the protagonist of the ''[[The Demon Princes (Literature)|The Demon Princes]]'' series by [[Jack Vance (Creator)|Jack Vance]], who was raised by his grandfather to have no [[Goal in Life]] other than to find and kill the five so-called Demon Princes, pirates and criminal masterminds who were responsible for the destruction of the colony world from which Kirth and his grandfather were the sole survivors. The ending has Kirth lapsing into bleak, bleak depression upon the death of his last target - raised his entire life for only one purpose, now that he's completed it he has ''no purpose at all''.

* Thomas Middleton's ''[[The RevengersRevenger's Tragedy]]'' is an excellent example of this trope. Vindice (his name literally means ''Revenge'') throws himself into his role as bloody revenger with glee.

* In the [[Star Trek]] novel ''Vendetta'', Delcara mixes it up with the 1701-D crew because she wants revenge on The Borg, and her [[Planet Eater|weapon of choice]] will take out a lot of innocents along the way.

** 'In ''Woken Furies'', his former girlfriend falls afoul of a patriarchal cult who remove her [[Soul Jar|cortical stack]], eventually resulting in her [[Final Death]]. When he finds out, he goes to the village and kills every single person who was an adult at the time, in his words, "Every single person who could have done something and instead chose to not." Then he goes on a global crusade, killing every single priest of the religion, cutting their neocortical recorder stacks out, downloading their minds into swamp panthers, and forcing them to fight to the death over and over again. When we meet him, it's implied that he's been doing it for several years.

** In ''Broken Angels'' he ends up killing each and every single member of the mercenary company he was working with, even though he was [[You Can Barely Stand|severely injured]] and a few days away from death by radiation poisoning.

* [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Hamlet (Theatre)|Hamlet]]'', naturally. Granted, his hit list only has one name on it, but he very quickly demonstrates that he doesn't mind knocking off a bystander or two to get to him, and the body count simply becomes heinous by the end of the play.

* The eponymous character of ''[[The Adventures of Samurai Cat (Literature)|The Adventures of Samurai Cat]]'' books, Miaowara Tomokato, is on this kind of journey to kill the men who murdered his master. In the process, he runs amok through parodies of just about everything, including Disneyland, ''[[Star Wars]]'', and others.

* In the 12th century German epic ''[[Nibelungenlied (Literature)|Nibelungenlied]]'', Kriemhild's husband Siegfried is murdered by Hagen at the behest of her brother's wife, which is condoned by her three brothers. A few years later she marries King Etzel the Hun, which provides her with the necessary muscle for revenge, and about ten years later she invites her brothers, Hagen and the other retainers to her new place. However the brothers were fought back like madmen all night, resulting in a seven chapter long bloodbath. At the same time, Kriemhild turns into a complete psycho, sending more and more men into the hall and ordering the feasting hall to be burned down, and finally has her revenge as she [[Off Withwith His Head|decapitates her husband's killer personally]]. By the end, Etzel (who is based on ''Attila the Hun'', no less) is completely ''terrified'' of her.

* In [[Dan Abnett]]'s [[GauntsGaunt's Ghosts (Literature)|Gaunts Ghosts]] novel ''Only In Death'', Eszrah goes on one. Believing himself dishonored by {{spoiler|living after Gaunt's death}}, he does the only thing he can -- acan—a rampage in which he kills as many as he can with Gaunt's sword before [[Death Seeker|he dies]]. {{spoiler|That is, until he finds Gaunt alive.}}

* Sam Vimes in ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Thud|Thud!]]'' has a bit of a delayed one after {{spoiler|some dwarves threaten his son. (They tried to threaten his wife. She was with her dragons. It didn't end well -- for the dwarvesdwarfs, that is.)}} Near the end of the book he slaughters quite a few of them, and barely stops himself (with some help) from killing their leaders so that he could ARREST''arrest'' them. Which just makes him that much more badass.

* ''[[The Wheel of Time (Literature)|The Wheel of Time]]'' series has lots of these.

** There's also the incident of Egwene being captured by the Seanchan, who take control of her power and spend several months training her to be a weapon and attempting to break her will. When she finally regains free access to her own power it turns out the training to be a weapon thing was pretty successful but the breaking her will thing has thus far only instilled her with a frantic, almost mindless fear and hatred of the Seanchan.

* In all versions of ''[[Carrie]]'', the [[Mind Over Matter|telekinetic]] title character engages in this trope after a horrific prank at her prom ruins the happiest moment of her torturous life and [[Deadly Prank|kills her date]], culminating in setting the gym on fire and leaving everyone inside to [[Kill It Withwith Fire|burn alive]]. And it doesn't end there, either. In the book and the remake film, she levels most of the town, too.

* In ''Field of Dishonor'' resident [[Action Girl]] [[Honor Harrington (Literature)|Honor Harrington]] {{spoiler|goes on a brief rampage after her boyfriend is essentially legally murdered (tricked into a duel by a professional shootist) by challenging each person responsible to a duel and gunning them down.}} Additionally, in ''In Enemy Hands'' she goes on sort of a pre-Roaring Rampage when {{spoiler|Ransom orders Nimitz to be killed}} attempting to take down as many soldiers as possible before she's beaten down.

* In ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire (Literature)|A Song of Ice and Fire]]'', Arya Stark eventually develops a to-kill list when {{spoiler|bit by little bit, her father is murdered in front of her, friends killed and/or tortured and beaten bloody time and time again as a servant in Harrendal, and has already managed to fill a portion of her kill quota.}} The worst part? She's nine.

* In Chris Roberson's ''[[Warhammer 40000 (Tabletop Game)|Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' Imperial Fists novel ''Sons of Dorn'', Captain Taelos wants to atone for his failure by a "Warrior's Pilgrimage." He is refused the honor (for now) and sent to collect aspirants. At the end, he adds the dead from his last mission to his tally to atone for, subtracts those whose lives he has saved, and feels honored by the duty of collecting aspirants.

* In ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'', we find out that Rosalie's record is ''almost'' as clean as Carlisle's. She went on one of these after being turned into a vampire, against the guys who raped and murdered her in the first place. Among them was her fiance, whom she saved for last, and then wore a wedding dress to kill. Especially considering her [[Alpha Bitch|normal characterization]], generally cited as her [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].

* In ''[[The Running Man (Literaturenovel)|The Running Man]]'' Ben, {{spoiler|after discovering the [[The Government|The Games Company]] had his wife murdered, destroys their primary government building. Killing the higher ups of the company. [[Kill'Em All|And everyone inside. And everyone within a large radius.]] (Its stated debris was falling 20 blocks out, not to mention most things in the novel are nuclear powered and the dust clouds of 9/11 blasted quite far.)}}

* Tarma from [[Mercedes Lackey]]'s Vows and Honor series (part of the [[Heralds of Valdemar]] world), is the last survivor of Clan Tale'sedrin after bandits ambushed them while they celebrated. Her entire family, including the man she loved, is dead. She has been gang-raped and left for dead. What, then, does she do? She declares blood feud against the bandits, an act which is one of the most drastic possible for one of the Shin'a'in (it requires her to swear herself as one of her Goddess's servants and a [[Celibate Hero|Celibate Heroine]]ine, for a start). Then she rides to a town that the bandits have taken over as their base, and kills them all, one by one.

* Invoked in the ''[[Halo (Video Gameseries)|Halo]] [[Expanded Universe]]'', where the SPARTAN-IIIs are recruited from children who have lost much due to the Covenant attacks and wish to get back at the aliens.

* ''[[Harry Potter (Literaturenovel)|Harry Potter]]'' did this when he went after Bellatrix {{spoiler|for killing Sirius. He even tried to cast a Cruciatus Curse on her.}}

* In the ''[[Magic: theThe Gathering (Tabletop Game)|Magic the Gathering]]'' novel ''Prophecy'', Barrin goes on one (that also turns the big showdown into a complete [[Curb Stomp Battle]]) after {{spoiler|his wife is murdered and mutilated by a psychotic enemy mage.}} His rampage single-handedly wins the war against the Keldons, which [[Fridge Logic|raises the question]] of why he didn't employ those kinds of tactics to begin with.

* In the [[Stephen King]] collection, ''[[Full Dark, No Stars (Literature)|Full Dark No Stars]]'', one of the short stories, ''Big Driver'', is about Tess, a rape victim who goes on a rampage against those who harmed her.

* [[Tom Clancy]]'s novel ''[[Jack Ryan (Literature)|Without Remorse]]'' is a prequel showing how John Clark got to be the [[Badass]] that he is in the present day novels. After his girlfriend, a recovering prostitute/drug addict, is killed by the pushers she once worked for, he begins picking them off one by one, Punisher-style, but not before [[Cold-Blooded Torture|torturing]] them to find out more information about their gang.

* ''[[Gentleman Bastard Sequence|The Lies of Locke Lamora]]'' gives us {{spoiler|the Gray King, whose family was killed by the other nobles of Camorr because they wouldn't go along with the Secret Peace with the city's criminal elements, headed by Capa Barsavi. So when he returns to town, he starts killing the heads of every gang that works for Barsavi, drowns his daughter in a barrel of horse urine, sets up Barsavi's best thief as a fall guy, and, when the Gray King is believed dead, kills him (with a magically-controlled shark) and his sons at the party. And this is all a lead-up to his revenge on the nobles, which would involve magically lobotomizing all of them ''and their children''.}}

* ''[[Sandman Slim]]'' is basically the old story of "hitter from the outfit gets sent up, goes upstate, gets out, seeks revenge on the bastards who turned him in." Only substitute "hitter" for "sorcerer," the outfit for "his cabal," and "upstate" for "Hell."

* ''The Most Extreme Crueltie and Revenge of Shylock of Venice'' is a book which all but admits to being a [[Revenge Fic]] sequel to ''[[The Merchant of Venice]]''. Shylock makes a [[Deal Withwith the Devil]] (who turns out to be an [[Author Avatar]]), wrecks Venice, kills a whole bunch of characters (ending with Antonio), then has an attack of [[My God, What Have I Done?]] and reverses time so that he can chose a death sentence at the end of the court scene.

* There's a mass-combat version in ''[[The Lord of the Rings (Literature)|Return of the King]]'', when the army of [[Proud Warrior Race|Rohan]] rallies behind [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Eomer son of Eomund]] to [[It's Personal|avenge Theoden and Eowyn]] on the Pelennor Fields.

{{quote| Over the field rang his clear voice calling "Death! Ride, ride to ruin and the world's ending!" And with that the host began to move. But the Rohirrim sang no more. ''Death'' they cried with one voice loud and terrible, and gathering speed like a great tide their battle swept about their fallen king and passed, roaring away southwards.}}

* In ''[[Being Human (TVUK)|Being Human]]'', Mitchell goes on one when he finds out {{spoiler|Lucy tried to kill him and successfully killed of most of his clan}}.

* ''[[The Wire]]'' does this twice, both times with Omar -- theOmar—the usual culprit behind the few over-the-top tropes in the series. The first time is played straight, with {{spoiler|Omar shaking up the entire Barksdale organization as revenge for the murder of his boyfriend, with Avon Barksdale himself narrowly escaping by luck alone}}. The second time can be seen as a subversion, as {{spoiler|the audience goes into the season expecting Omar to [[Badass Longcoat|work his usual magic]] on the people who killed his friend, but he ends up failing miserably and [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him|dying in a spectacularly pointless and meaningless fashion]].}}

* In ''[[Lost (TV)|Lost]]'''s flashforwards, Ben Linus appears to be on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] (with Sayid's help) avenging Alex and Nadia. Ben even has a list.

** He stops short of {{spoiler|killing Penny Widmore}} when he [[Pet the Dog|sees her toddler son with her]]. And when {{spoiler|Desmond}} [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown|kicks his ass]].

* ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'' Uther, after the death of Ygraine.

* ''[[Twenty Four (TV)24|Twenty Four]]'': Jack's daughter escapes, and the villains still want to lure Jack in, so they have [[The Mole]] tell him that his daughter's body had been found. [[What an Idiot!|Seriously. Bad. Idea.]] Jack comes in, all right -- ''[[Guns Akimbo|both guns blazing]]'' -- and—and [[Unstoppable Rage|doesn't leave a single one alive]], including the (surrendering) [[Big Bad]]. We all know about the [[Mama Bear]], but don't mess with a [[Papa Wolf]], either. Especially not one that's having the longest day of his life (well, one of the several longest days of his life, anyway).

** But in {{spoiler|Tony's}} case, it was more of a traditional [[Revenge]] plot--heplot—he never went on a "rampage" since all his crimes were only meant to maintain his cover long enough to gain an audience with the villain.

* ''[[I CarlyiCarly]]'': Sam in "iMake Sam Girlier", and Gibby in "iPsycho".

{{quote| "No. Not now, not ''ever'', do you hear me? I will use every cannon, every bomb, every bullet, ''every weapon I have'' down to my own ''eyeteeth'' to '''END YOU'''! ''I swear it!'' '''I'M COMING FOR ALL OF YOU!'''"}}

* ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'': Matt Parkman seeks revenge against {{spoiler|Danko for murdering his girlfriend, Daphne Millbrook}}. Parkman does so by {{spoiler|telepathically forcing Danko to divulge his true identity and the fact that he kills for a living to his unsuspecting girlfriend, Alena.}} Parkman then {{spoiler|points his gun at Alena, but cannot bring himself to shoot her.}}

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': Dark Willow.

** Giles got a less successful, but no less awesome, cold-rampage {{spoiler|After Angel murdered Jenny Calender}}. FLAMING BASEBALL BAT!

* In ''[[Forever Knight (TV)|Forever Knight]]'', a child vampire shows up and starts slaughtering those in LaCroix's inner circle. {{spoiler|Urs and Vachon}} bite the dust, with Nick next on the list, before we find out that she's actually {{spoiler|1=LaCroix's mortal daughter from when he was a Roman named Lucius; she was saved from death by being turned into a vampire, and she then turned LaCroix into a vampire so that he could survive the destruction of Pompeii}}. He nearly killed her and sealed her remains in a tomb, but she survived and is looking to pay him back for his betrayal. Check out the series page for the full story.

* Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. In the second season finale of ''[[NCIS (TV)|NCIS]]'', Agent Catelin Todd is {{spoiler|murdered by turncoat Mossad agent Ari Haswari}}. Even though he was intending to track down and kill {{spoiler|Ari}} before this for his previous actions, Gibbs loses it and goes after him full-bore in the two-part third season opener.

* Any fans of ''[[Star Trek: theThe Next Generation]]'' remember who the Husnock are? Or should I say, were? Killing a man's wife is bad, especially if said man has power rivaling one of the Q.

* Two of the villains in ''[[Boss]]''. One uses very elaborate methods, while the other sticks to guns.

* In the sixth season finale of ''[[Grey's Anatomy (TV)|Greys Anatomy]]'', {{spoiler|Gary Clarke, who blames Derek and Little Grey for the death of his wife, goes on a shooting rampage through the hospital}}. He has a list, too.

* Used in a number of ''[[Criminal Minds]]'' episodes, and always portrayed in a realistically horrifying way. The most obvious examples are "True Night" (psychotic comic book artist runs around killing the street gang who {{spoiler|murdered his pregnant fiancee in front of him}}, "Elephant's Memory" (perennially abused teenager snaps and sets out to kill everyone who's ever wronged him), "House On Fire" (man tries to avenge himself on an entire community for {{spoiler|complicity in beating and driving him out of town}} by trapping them in [[Kill It Withwith Fire|burning buildings]]), and "Devil's Night" (man [[Kill It Withwith Fire|burns people alive]] after {{spoiler|his life collapses after a fiery crash that left him in a coma and burned half his face off. Among his kills are the ex-con who hit him, the ex-landlord who kicked him out of his home and the ex-boss who fired him, and other people he felt slighted him just by having happy lives. His rampage would've culminated in the death of his ex-girlfriend and her family, if not for the discovery that his ex-girlfriend had had his child and [[Tear Jerker|the kid isn't afraid of his face]] }}).

* The ''Offender'' episode of ''[[Cold Case (TV)|Cold Case]]'' has the child victim's father on this path, which is understandable given that the real culprit killed his kid and framed him for it, leaving him incarcerated for 2 decades.

** She has one during the beginning of season 7 and the beginning of season 8, both involving Mulder being in danger.

* In the Season 10 episode "Talion" of ''[[Stargate SG-1 (TV)|Stargate SG-1]]'', Teal'c goes on one after a former foe bombs a free Jaffa summit, killing "many innocent Jaffa". First he uses the [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]] to track down those responsible for the bombing, and then when he found out who the mastermind was he had to put down [[SG -1]] (which he does in [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomp fashion]]) and then defeated the architect of the bombing in melee combat after being wounded with staff weapons and having the holy hell beaten out of him.

* [[Doctor Steel (Music)|Doctor Steel]]'s ''Lament for a Toy Factory''.

{{quote| ''They said 'Freak', when you're singled out / The Red / Well it filters through/ So lay down, the threat is real / When his sight goes red again.''}}

* The fifth song on The Protomen's original CD "Vengeance" is basically where Megaman heads on a beeline for Wily's fortress and tears through virtually every robot there on his very own [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] for {{spoiler|Wily having killed his brother before him, Protoman.}} {{spoiler|Actually it turns out Protoman was reconstructed by Wily later and turned evil}}. Uhm, woah.

* [[Manowar (Music)|Manowar]]'s "Dark Avenger" is about a character whose unjust suffering has been noted by the gods, so he is sent back from Hades to [[Kill'Em All]].

* [[Hot -Blooded|Pissing off Heracles was unfortunately very easy to do]], and never a good idea. Among his many other deeds, Heracles is known for exacting horrific revenges on a number of Greek kings who crossed him. Whether it was King Augeas refusing to pay the cattle he owed Heracles for his cleaning out Augeas's stables, King Neleus refusing to purify Heracles after he killed a man in anger, or King Laomedon trying to get out of paying Heracles the magical horses he owed Heracles for killing the monster that threatened his kingdom, all three of them were eventually invaded by Heracles and his army and slaughtered for crossing him.

* In ''[[The Iliad (Literature)|The Iliad]]'', Achilles gets into a spat with Agamemnon and decides that he [[Achilles in His Tent|won't be in a fighting mood]] for the foreseeable future. When his [[Ho Yay|best buddy]] Patroclus gets himself killed trying to take Achilles' place, however, Achilles [[Berserk Button|flips right the hell out]] and nearly chokes the Trojan river with their dead. Even Hector, the killer of Patroclus and first among the Trojans, makes a run for it until he realizes that Achilles won't stop chasing him and decides to go out swinging.

* In ''[[The Odyssey (Literature)|The Odyssey]]'' Odysseus and his son kill all forty suitors who have dishonored their house. In the middle of the slaughter, some of the suitors try to repent and beg for mercy, but Odysseus affirms that he must kill all of them. The gods themselves demand that he take vengeance.

* In one memorable episode of [[WWEWorld Wrestling Entertainment|WWF]] ''[[WWE Raw|Monday Night Raw]]'', [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] used guerrilla tactics to eliminate the members of [[Vince McMahon]]'s goon squad, one at a time. He eventually trapped Vince himself in the ring, threatening his boss' life with a gun before revealing it to be a prop, as when he "fired" it, a flag popped out reading, "Bang! 3:16". This didn't stop Vince from completely wetting his pants, however.

** Randy Orton (along with then-tag-team partner [[Edge]]) was also the victim of a [[Shawn Michaels]] RROR. Orton and Edge, along with an inopportune [[Game -Breaking Injury|quad tear]] have taken out Triple H, and they're not exactly shy in telling everyone so. Shawn pulls Hunter's [[I Call It Vera|sledgehammer]] out from under the ring and proceeds to kick the everloving hell out of them.

* Rather common in [[Battle Tech (Tabletop Game)|Battle TechBattleTech]]. When an invading nation, [[Big Bad|Clan Smoke Jaguar]] used orbital bombardment on a conquered city, [[Shoot the Dog|then killed anyone escaping]], as a warning to all other conquered planets, [[Awakening the Sleeping Giant|every military in the Inner Sphere]] sent their best units and the [[Lost Technology|extremely rare]] space warships on a mission to wipe out the entirety of the Clan Smoke Jaguar military, killing or capturing every single Jaguar warrior. They landed all their forces on the Jaguar homeworld, Huntress, then used their ''own'' orbital bombardment to wipe out concentrated Jaguar military forces while picking off stranglers with overwhelming firepower and ambush tactics.

* In ''[[Assassin's Creed Revelations (Video Game)|Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'', after Ezio finds {{spoiler|Yusef killed by the Templar's, he and an entire army of Assassins go through a Templar base and literally slaughter and defeat all the guards and Templar's. And when Ezio finds Prince Ahmet...}}

* The title character of ''[[Max Payne (Video Gameseries)|Max Payne]]'' also goes on one of these after his partner, Alex Balder is killed and he is framed for it. He starts with Jack Lupino, the guy he considers responsible, moves on to Lupino's boss, Punchinello, and then sets his sights on Nicole Horne when it's discovered that she was behind not only Alex's murder and the frame up (pulled off by dirty cop and [[The Dragon|Dragon]] B.B.), but also the murder of Max's wife and baby girl by V-head junkies three years ago.

* After beating the main story in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy (Video Game)|Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'', you can select SNK boss Chaos in quick battles, set him to level one, and then select a level 100 character. Proceed to curbstomps for every last retry you were forced to endure in story mode.

* After his wife, his son, and his king (along with almost everyone else in Doma castle) are killed by Kefka's poison, Cyan of ''[[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VI]]'' rampages through the Imperial camp. Partly subverted in that Sabin and Shadow come to Cyan's aid and the three end up escaping from the camp.

* Delita's reaction to his sister's murder in ''[[Final Fantasy Tactics (Video Game)|Final Fantasy Tactics]]''.

* In ''[[Final Fantasy VII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VII]]'', Sephiroth learns the "truth" that he's a descendent of the ancients, then goes berserk & burns down the town of Nibelheim. He later learns the truth behind the "truth," but continues with his plan to become a God, transferring "descendent of the Ancients" to "descendent of Jenova." A good deal of his actions--whichactions—which also become his downfall--aredownfall—are also that he wants to get revenge on Cloud for defeating him in a fairly humiliating fashion.

* Although he remains chillingly [[The Stoic|calm]] about it, the remake of ''[[Ninja Gaiden (Video Game)|Ninja Gaiden]]'' is all about Ryu Hayabusa putting his blade through the many minions of the Vigoor Empire that razed his village and killed off almost all of his kin.

* In ''[[Super Robot Wars (Video Game)|Super Robot Wars]]'', after finding out that the Fury basically obliterated everything near her in the beginning of the series, Calvina Coulange in ''[[Super Robot Wars]] Judgment'' fell into this trope, intensely hating every Furies she came across and mercilessly slaughtering all Furies that come across her, but she didn't do it with a roar. She later made one exception, though.

* [[American McgeesMcGee's Grimm (Video Game)|"Cinderella was not simply an ill-used ninny who married well, forgave her tormentors, and lived happily ever after. She was innocent, she was abused, she was harmed. HER PAIN SHOULD BE PAID FOR!"]]

* Seeking revenge for the death of his daughter, Tellah in ''[[Final Fantasy IV (Video Game)|Final Fantasy IV]]'' tries to kill Golbez with Meteo even though casting this powerful spell means Tellah's own death.

* Presumably the reason behind ''[[No More Heroes (Video Game)|No More Heroes]] 2: Desperate Struggle''. Travis Touchdown rejoins the UAA for the purpose of {{spoiler|avenging his friend's death (the one who would get your motorcycle for you in the first game}}. This being Travis, [[Otaku|he doesn't have too many friends]], so it's kind of a blow. Also, in ''[[No More Heroes (Video Game)|No More Heroes]]'', precision killing is simply not an option, regardless of motivation. Coincidentally, {{spoiler|killing Bishop}} was part of the antagonists' ''own'' [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]. [[Cycle of Revenge|Messy, ain't it]]?

* ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'''s Sarah Kerrigan, over a dozen planets later and she's still getting warmed up. Well, there goes the universe!

* What? No mention of Kratos from the ''[[God of War (Video Gameseries)|God of War]]'' series? The man/god is practically an embodiment of the trope, and he doesn't settle for small fry revenge either. He starts with Ares, and then [[Rage Against the Heavens|works his way through Olympus]] all because [[There Are No Therapists|Zeus figured it was easier to betray and kill him than have a reasonable discussion]].

* ''[[Prototype (Videovideo Gamegame)|Prototype]]''. To quote Alex Mercer: "NOTHING CAN PROTECT YOU FROM ME! NOT MEN! NOT WEAPONS! NOT ARMOR!". And the guy about to get [[I'm a Humanitarian|consumed]]? Was a [[Jerkass]], but definitely not at the top of Alex's hit list.

** ''[[Prototype 2 (Video Game)|Prototype 2]]'' starts going on the same venue: the new protagonist James Heller has lost his family to Blacklight while he was overseas and goes on a rampage in the infected zone to get himself killed. Unfortunately for him, Alex finds him dying and [[And Then John Was a Zombie|injects him with the virus]], transforming him into the same [[Super Prototype]] as himself. Needless to say, James [[Unstoppable Rage|doesn't take it well]].

* An early mission of ''[[Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars (Video Game)|Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars]]'' involves driving through the turf of rival dealers while your employer opens up on everybody with a machine gun in retaliation for stolen business. Oh, and a previous mission involves tracking down someone who cheated him and cutting his heart out.

* In ''[[Half-Life 2 (Video Game)|Half-Life 2]]'', Gordon Freeman enters the enemy base, alone, at the end of the game. {{spoiler|All his weapons are taken from him, except for the Gravity Gun, which becomes ultra-powered and capable of even grabbing enemy soldiers. All his friends have been captured. The entire end-game segment lets the player go berserk on the enemy with the Gravity Gun, torturing and maiming them in every way imaginable, while Dr. Breen, his old supervisor, calls him worthless.}}

* The final escape in ''[[Metroid (Video Game)|Super Metroid]]'' follows Mother Brain {{spoiler|destroying the Metroid Larva, which was trying to protect Samus in the first place. After it dies, it gives her the Hyper Beam, an insanely-powered, wall-piercing rainbow gun}}. So Samus, after being thrown around by Mother Brain like a chew toy, goes on a rampage against it and then on the entire base.

** Practically every encounter she has with Space Pirates could turn into a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]. In the backstory, they destroyed the colony where she lived and killed everyone else, including her parents (one of whom was ripped apart and ''eaten'' by Ridley right in front of her). Yeah, the Pirates have a damn good reason to be afraid whenever "The Hunter" shows up.

** This reaches its epitome in ''Metroid: Zero Mission''. After [[That One Level|being forced to evade countless Space Pirates on their own ship without your weapons or armor]], you get your [[Power Armor]] back and get to go on perhaps the most satisfying [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] in any video game.

* You do NOT mess with [[Touhou (Video Game)|Yuka's]] flowers. Your life will become VERY short.

* In ''[[Xenogears (Video Game)|Xenogears]]'', Id goes on one of these after the villains try to kill the woman he...well, he doesn't exactly ''love'' her, but he considers her to be his. He ends up destroying an entire floating city and causing the deaths of at least thousands of innocent people.

* In all ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' games, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei get sent into this when they find out that Wu has assassinated Guan Yu and Guan Ping. Result a Genocide leaving no one in Wu alive.

** Take every [[Nightmare Fuel|nightmare you suffered as a child]] that was induced by a [[Disney]] film. Chernabog, the mountain demon from ''[[Fantasia (Disney)|Fantasia]]''. Maleficent from ''[[Sleeping Beauty (Disney film)|Sleeping Beauty]]''. ''Anything'' Disney did to make you need that nightlight as a kid...take it all, go play ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', and savor your revenge.

** And while we're on the topic of Kingdom Hearts, Roxas in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days Over 2 (Video Game)|358/2 Days]]''. {{spoiler|He was forced to kill and absorb one of his best friends, so he ends up going on a [[One-Man Army|one-man invasion]] of the entire World That Never Was to set Kingdom Hearts free and put Organization XIII in their place, easily taking out Neo Shadows in a ''single hit''. And throughout all of this his memories of Xion are fading, to the point that when he begins his battle with Riku he only remembers his best friend as "[[Tear Jerker|her]]".}} Unfortunately for Roxas, {{spoiler|Riku puts a stop to his rampage before he can even get to the Castle That Never Was. In the end, it was probably for the best, since if Roxas [[Leeroy Jenkins|got himself killed]] fighting Xemnas & company, Sora would've been screwed as well.}}

** In [[Kingdom Hearts II (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts II]], when [[Disney Death|Goofy is knocked out and presumed killed by flying debris]], King Mickey [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner|says "They'll pay for this!"]], [[Flung Clothing|throws off his cloak]], and summons his Keyblade. Many Heartless were about to die.

* ''[[Viking: Battle for Asgard]]'': They just start piling up very quickly. {{spoiler|Rakan joins Hel in destroying the world because Freya spurned him, Skarin goes on his own by fighting his way (offscreen) to Fenrir and releasing him when Freya essentially enslaves him, and Fenrir himself gets one against the Gods for chaining him up in the first place.}}

* ''[[Wet]]'': Rubi is set up by Rupert Pelham, who is in charge of a global drug ring, to take the fall for killing William Ackers's son. How does she get even? This is the page for [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]], what do you think?

* The exact words of the trope name are used by the narrator of ''[[The House of the Dead (Video Gameseries)|House of the Dead]]: Overkill'' when describing Varla's motivation. (Her brother turned himself into a monster while trying to kill Papa Caesar, so she wants Papa Caesar dead. The heroes are the ones who actually killed her brother, but it was a [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]], so they don't get the blame.)

* Ezio from ''[[Assassin's Creed II (Video Game)|Assassin's Creed II]]'' starts out with the family business of killing people in revenge for the death of his father and two brothers. Then it extends to that family's bosses, and their bosses, right up and into the [[Ancient Conspiracy]] central to the game, for ''over thirty year]years''. To reword [http://www.cracked.com/blog/worst-life-ever-the-story-of-kazuyuki-fujitas-skull/ Seanbaby]:

{{quote| At the time, the country of Italy was using Ezio Auditore to control the aristocrat population and they occasionally dragged him on a chain through the air to hunt Templars in the least humane way possible.}}

* ''[[The Godfather (Videovideo Gamegame)|The Godfather]]'' is essentially one of these for player character Aldo Trapani. Don Emilio Barzini had your father killed. You get recruited as a Corleone hatchetman. It's convenient that the Corleone goals of taking over NYC and crushing the other four families align with your own.

* In ''[[Sins of a Solar Empire]]'' you have an entire star nation going on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]; the Advent. You see, the Advent's ancestors were a religious order on a remote desert planet that was experimenting with [[Hollywood Cyborg|cybernetic implants]] and [[Psychic Powers]] in an attempt to unite humanity in a peaceful coexistent society when they were found by the Trade Order. The ''Xenophobic'' Trade Order, which decided the Advent were too different to coexist with the rest of human society. So they exiled the Advent into deep space [[What an Idiot!|without first taking away or destroying their psychic and cybernetic research]]. Predictably, the Advent continue to develop those technologies and build a formidable empire with a large fleet of some ''very'' powerful warships outside Trader space; all the while brooding over their mistreatment and exile. A few generations later the first Advent fleets cross back into Trader space intent on reclaiming their homeworld and punishing the Trade Order (now known as the Trader Emergency Coalation-TEC).

* In ''[[Breath of Fire IV (Video Game)|Breath of Fire IV]]'', {{spoiler|when it looks like [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|Fou-lu]] might fall in love with a peasant girl and seen that there are decent humans in the world...before he's forced to run away and Mami was captured, [[Cold-Blooded Torture|tortured]] and [[Human Sacrifice|sacrificed]] as a [[Human Resources|thermonuclear]] [[Nightmare Fuel|fuel]] for the [[Fantastic Nuke|Carronade]], because her love for him will ''[[Love Hurts|make it stronger]]''. After surviving the blast, Fou-lu saw Mami's bell fell from the sky and landed near him.}} [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters|Understandably]], [[Laughing Mad|he's]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|royally]] [[Kill'Em All|pissed off]].

* [[Mass Effect (Video Game)|Liara T'Soni]] becomes [[Undying Loyalty|obsessed with Shepard]] to the point where [[Enemy Mine|she is willing to work with Cerberus]] after the Collector attack. When the Shadow Broker tries to sell Shepard out to the Collecters Liara does not [[Berserk Button|take it well,]] and starts working with criminals, Asari commandos, threatening to kill her contacts with their own spine, all to get back at the Shadow Broker. {{spoiler|When she finds out that her friend Faron, who was captured and presumed killed by the Shadow Broker, is alive, however, her motive rapidly change from revenge to rescue...with a revenge flavor.}} Zaeed has a similar motive against {{spoiler|Vido Santiago}}, and it is an implied part of Commander Shepard's backstory if the Colonist background is combined with a Ruthless reputation.

{{quote| '''Shepard:''' ''"How do you plan on getting Omega back?"''<br />

* Wylfred, "hero" of ''[[Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume]]'', accepts a deal with pretty much our equivalent of the devil to go on a roaring rampage against a valkyrie.

* The entire premise of ''[[Darksiders (Video Game)|Darksiders]]'' is that the Horseman of War is on a quest to kill the ones responsible for his fall from grace. Samael even honors his deal with War when he could easily betray him because he actually respects a good ol' [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]. {{spoiler|When he discovers that the Charred Council made him their [[Unwitting Pawn]] and faked his fall from grace in a breach of the pact he and the rest of the Horsemen obey, he decides to go after them with the help of his fellow Horsemen.}}

* Basically the entirety of ''[[Lugaru (Video Game)|Lugaru]]'', by the end of the game, nearly every named character has been revealed as a traitor.

* In ''[[Sengoku Basara (Video Game)|Sengoku Basara]] 3'', Ishida Mitsunari is out to kill [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] in revenge for his master. No matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you will ''not'' be able to stop him. And God help you if you get in his way. He'll add you to his list.

* {{spoiler|Kristoph Gavin}} in ''[[Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (Visual Novel)|Apollo Justice Ace Attorney]]'' has this combined with total [[Disproportionate Retribution]]. {{spoiler|After getting Phoenix disbarred, he stalked everyone involved in the case, then he killed a magician, an artist, and he almost killed the artist's daughter.}} What caused this quest for revenge, you ask? {{spoiler|His client, a famous magician whose successful defense would have brought Gavin much fame, wanted a different lawyer to defend him.}}

* Chloe Valens of ''[[Tales of Legendia (Video Game)|Tales of Legendia]]'' heads to the [[Cool Boat|the Legacy]] in order to track down her parents' killer, a man with a snake tattoo. Any time she even sees his ''face'' she flies into a fury.

* In ''[[Fate/stay Stay Night (Visual Novel)night|Fate Stay Night]]'''s Unlimited Blade Works route's ([[Bittersweet Ending|True Ending]]), Gilgamesh insults Saber after her [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to destroy the [[Artifact of Doom|Holy Grail]]. [[Berserk Button|Shirou gets pissed,]] {{spoiler|[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|and proceeds to bash the King of Heroes all over the place, before cutting off his arm and throwing him into a tear in space-time]].}}

* The [[Big Bad]] in ''[[Ghost Trick: (VideoPhantom Game)Detective|Ghost Trick]]'' spends years carrying out a meticulously crafted plan to punish everyone involved with {{spoiler|his death, including the then-young girl he took hostage.}}

* [[Cold Sniper|Craig Boone]] in ''[[Fallout New Vegas (Video Game)|Fallout: New Vegas]]'' devotes his life to destroying the Legion, who bought his wife as a slave {{spoiler|and forced him to perform a [[Mercy Kill]] on her}}, and will sign up to aid you if you promise him the opportunity to fight against them.

{{quote| '''Courier:''' Any thought's on Caesar's Legion?<br />

** Kung Lao is the first to discover {{spoiler|Liu Kang's body in ''Deadly Alliance'' after the eponymous pair [[Neck Snap|snap his neck]].}} He vows revenge against the duo and seeks an old master to train for their defeat. {{spoiler|It doesn't end well for him either, in spite of that.}} The roles are reversed in ''[[Mortal Kombat 9 (Video Game)|Mortal Kombat 9]]'', wherein Kung Lao successfully defeats every challenger Shao Kahn puts before him until {{spoiler|Kahn himself simply walks up behind him and breaks his neck. Liu Kang then challenges Kahn and this time puts a fiery fist right through his chest.}}

* In ''[[Kingpin Life of Crime]]'', the main character is brutally beaten by thugs working for Nikki Blanco, and he's told never to come back. Instead, he sets across the landscape, destroying the Mafia run businesses, killing numerous members, and going after Nikki's boss to finally take control for himself.

* ''[[True Crime: Streets of LA]]'' has an optional story arc in which Nick Kang, on failing to rescue his {{spoiler|brother}}, himself goes on a roaring rampage of revenge to find and kill the man responsible, having already been slightly pushed over the edge by the death of his father prior to the game's beginning. {{spoiler|Said rampage leads to one of the "bad endings" in the game, since Nick is left with unanswered questions regarding his own father's fate - the secret dies with the endgame boss.}}

* In ''[[Grand Theft Auto Vice City (Video Game)|Grand Theft Auto Vice City]]'', Lance Vance attempts to engage in one of this when {{spoiler|avenging the death of his brother at the hands of Diaz's men}}. He fails, and [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|makes things more difficult for Tommy]], who is already having a difficult enough time trying to maintain the unstable drug lord's trust.

* An unlockable [[Shotguns Are Just Better]] in ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'' for the Engineer allows you to avenge your turret, giving you a guaranteed [[Critical Hit]] for every kill the turret made while it was still around.

* In ''[[The Reconstruction (Video Game)|The Reconstruction]]'', {{spoiler|Dehl}} goes on one in chapter 6 after having a [[Freak -Out]] that causes his personality to invert. This temporary personality change makes some of his skill descriptions read almost like black comedy.

{{quote| {{spoiler|"The serene, peaceful nature of the knight manifests in enhanced inner traits."}}}}

* [[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game)|Laharl]] goes on one when his [[Implied Love Interest]] [[Love Freak|Flonne]] is turned into a flower, triggering the final boss battle. What happens after the fighting ends depends on what actions the player took up until then.

* ''[[Mushihime-sama]] Futari''. Queen Larsa's son Aki dies at the hands of Reco, [[Mama Bear|driving her to declare war on the Shinjuu Forest]]. She even goes as far as to ''[[Abusive Parents|disown her only remaining son]] [[Moral Event Horizon|and leave him to die]]'' when he openly admits that he believes Reco to be a good person and that Aki's death was an accident.

** It should be noted that Larsa's boss battle has been given the dubious distinction of one of the most frustratingly difficult in gaming history. There has never been a documented case of a player defeating her without continuing at least once (which restores your health and preserves the damage you've done to her's). In other words, she succeeds.

* ''[[Saints Row 2 (Video Game)|Saints Row 2]]'': the latter part of the Brotherhood storyline ([[Cycle of Revenge|for both sides]]), an excellent example of why having someone actually roar and rampage is a lot better than being calm and deliberate when your the one they want revenge on.

* The entire plot for ''[[X (Videovideo Gamegame)|X3 Albion Prelude]]'' revolves around the [[Planet Terra|Terran]]'s roaring rampage of war and revenge after the [[Designated Hero|Argon Federation]] blows up the [[Big Dumb Object|Torus Aeternal]], a massive orbital shipyard / city for tens of millions / defense installation that wraps entirely around Earth.

* "[[Walkyverse|The place reeked of Martians. I don't know why, but they killed him. So I killed the Martians.]]" {{spoiler|[[Subverted Trope|But]] [[Gambit Roulette|not]] [[Tomato in Thethe Mirror|really]].}}

* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance (Webcomic)|Sluggy Freelance]]'' Oasis has gone on a couple of these against Zoe for [[Love Makes You Evil|taking Torg's affection away from her]].

* The catgirls in ''[[Something Positive (Webcomic)|Something *Positive]]''. Apparently they weren't enjoying the convention; "They cancelled the fanfic panels. The con banned the sale of yaoi. The ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'' panel was nothing but heckling of all the books." The guy on the comics panel telling them their favourite comic sucked and Jason calling them out for overreaction when they killed him just pushed them over the edge.

* Zeetha in ''[[Girl Genius (Webcomic)|Girl Genius]]''. She was captured by pirates on her way to visit the wider world from her home, a "lost" city in the jungle, and her crewmates were killed. She slaughtered every pirate on the ship, shot down the rest of their fleet, and burnt down their stronghold. Only then did she realize she didn't know how to get back home and had just killed everyone who did.

* A [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0626.html story arc] in ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|The Order of the Stick]]'' features this. Vaarsuvius, the party's [[Ambiguous Gender|ambiguously-gendered]] elven mage happens to disintegrate a black dragon youngling only to later meet its [[Mama Bear|angry grieving black dragon mother]]. She then unfolds a terrible vengeance plan involving {{spoiler|his own children and [[Fate Worse Than Death|horrific necromantic feats]] - a plan the weakened V is powerless to stop… or so it seems until he/she strikes a [[Deal Withwith the Devil|deal with demons]] and ends up [[Super-Powered Evil Side|harnessing the power of 3 evil archmage souls]]....and then goes on a superpowered Roaring Rampage Of (Pre-emptive) Revenge on Mama Dragon for daring to [[Knight Templar Parent|target his/her family]]. Say hello to the epic spell: [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|Familicide]].}}

* [[Juathuur|Go read]] Rowasu's [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]].

* ''[[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Homestuck]]'' Vriska's "[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004478 Make Her Pay]" rallies everyone into rampage. Subverted with a punishing smackdown when she gets into the act.

** {{spoiler|PM}}, after watching Jack kill pretty much everybody she ever cared about.

* ''[[Asperchu (Webcomic)|Asperchu]]'' has a very sad one. The creature takes Sonichu and Asperchu to the Twin CWC Towers and tells Sonichu his father is here. He automatically assumes Ian Brandon Anderson and starts to hunt him down.
