Line 30:
** Also, {{spoiler|the supported theory that the [[Evil Chancellor|Megalomesembrian Senate]] were responsible for launching the attack on [[Doomed Hometown|Negi's village]] solely to kill Negi, because he is the son of their old foe Arika Entheofushia ''and'' Nagi Springfield}}.
* [[Ranma ½]] usually has to deal with the problems his dad created in the past. Of course this isn't because his father is dead, he's just a big coward.
** Soun Tendo also causes this sort of
** Happosai's own past sins often come back to haunt the [[Fan Nickname|Nerima Wrecking Crew]]. [[Embarrassing First Name|Pantyhose Taro]] and [[Energy Absorption|Hinako Ninomiya]] are but two examples... But that just makes a change from his ongoing ''present'' sins haunting them.
* This is sort of what happens in ''[[Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru]]'': Mizuho lives in the room that his late grandfather arranged for him, when in fact, the very same room belonged to his [[Missing Mom]] during her school days and it is also the very room where {{spoiler|his mom's devoted [[Sempai-Kohai|kohai]] died of exhaustion while waiting for her to return. Things ain't that grim, however, as it turns out that said kohai survived as a (rather cheerful) ghost and it is Mizuho's task to make amends to her for his mom's untimely leave 22 years ago}}.
Line 64:
* Freddy Krueger from the ''[[Nightmare On Elm Street]]'' series originally went after the children of those who took the law into their own hands and burned him alive to stop his killing of their children. This is a variant of the trope in that the parents are not dead and that Freddy is just a sadistic bastard like that.
* Averted in the remake because {{spoiler|Freddy was after the kids because they played stool pigeon, which led to him being burned. Still, considering what he was doing to them in the first place, it's still pretty much [[Disproportionate Retribution]]}}.
* This... sort of, almost, counts: In ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'', the blood of all who have stolen from the Cursed Aztec Chest must be spilled onto it in order for the curse to be lifted. Unfortunately, Bootstrap Bill Turner happened to piss off his crew mates by mailing of a piece of the cursed gold to his son, and was tied to a cannon and dumped into the ocean. Thus, Barbossa is forced to look for his descendant, who apparently would have both the [[MacGuffin]] and the required blood. Of course, a young Elizabeth (assuming that it was a pirate medalion, and not wanting young Will to be executed as one) steals said [[MacGuffin]], and then later (assuming the pirates would kidnap her due to her being the governor's daughter) uses the ''one name'' that would ensure her kidnapping. (To be fair, she didn't know that.) Thus pretty much setting the plot of the trilogy in motion. The
** Wouldn't have let her go, but wouldn't have killed her.... After all, Barbossa ''does'' say "Waste not!" with a rather hideously evil lecherous grin. (though Elizabeth probably would have preferred death to that fate....)
*** "Do you know what the first thing I'm going to do is?" [group laughter] "''Eat a whole ''bushel'' of [[How Do You Like Them Apples?|apples]]''."
Line 141:
* There's a quest in ''[[The Elder Scrolls]] IV: Oblivion'' where you must prove that the father of two characters you helped in a previous quest was a thief and recover what he stole. Here's the quest on the [http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Sins_of_the_Father UESP Wiki].
* In ''[[Baldur's Gate]] 2'', {{spoiler|Firkraag}} torments you partially to take revenge upon your foster father, Gorion, who injured him in a battle many years previously: Gorion died in the beginning of the first game, so he's had to settle for the second best thing. He himself admits that it wouldn't really bring him any closure or anything, [[Chaotic Evil|but he can do it and thus he did]].
* ''[[Call of Duty]] 4'' plays with the concept and [[
