* ''[[Bleach]]'': Ivan Azgiaro and Luders Friegen. The latter served as the [[Mouth of Sauron]], declaring war to Yamamoto and acting as the spokesman for the [[Malevolent Masked Men]]. The former is the first member of the Vandenreich that we meet, who attacks [[The Hero]] within the first five chapters of the latest arc. Luders was thought of as [[The Dragon]]; Ivan was seen as [[The Rival]] to [[The Hero]]. Both were killed by their boss shortly after they're introduced.

* ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'' has a variation of this trope, where usually an NPC is murdered in the prologue. In the first version, it was a nameless student that Danya shot because he was wearing his hat sideways, and Danya [[Kick the Dog|"didn't like punks"]]. However, true to this trope, in other versions (and alluded to in the first version) the teachers, who the characters had probably interacted with at some point during [[Developing Doomed Characters|pregame]] are promptly shot. And very often, the prologue is [[A Death in the Limelight|told in the perspective of one of the teachers murdered]].

** It happens with the students as well. When V4 started, a few characters active during pre-game were killed off immediately, namely Remi Pierce, Warren Brown, Reika Ishida and Chris Davidson.
