Line 27:
* Because [[Haruhi Suzumiya]] is being too boring, Ryoko Asakura attempts to kill the person closest to her, in order to get her to react.
* In ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'', [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] villain Enishi attempts to get revenge on Kenshin by attacking his friends and allies, culminating with {{spoiler|killing Kaoru... [[Faking the Dead|or so it seems]].}} Except {{spoiler|he can't bring himself actually do the deed because she reminds him of his [[Dead Little Sister|Dead Big Sis]].}}
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]] TSR'', {{spoiler|Gauron}} attempts to do this to Kaname to get to Sousuke (knowing that that would affect him more than if Sousuke himself was hurt or killed). Of course, [[Your Mileage May Vary|depending on the person]], what {{spoiler|Gauron}} did can either be interpreted as [[Revenge by Proxy]] or [[Murder the Hypotenuse]] (in which case he was actually thinking he's doing Sousuke a ''favor''). Or, knowing {{spoiler|Gauron}}, it's possible it's just both, and he can't make up his mind what exactly he wants.
* In ''[[Elfen Lied]]'', Lucy does this to Kurama... repeatedly. Turns out {{spoiler|he was responsible for a bullet (intended for Lucy) hitting her only friend at that time<ref>Kohta probably doesn't count at this point since he just watched her rip his sister in half and kill his father</ref> and then told her he could save the girl if Lucy gave herself up... which leads to Lucy spending the rest of her childhood and her teenage years being a guinea pig while her friend dies anyway.}} By the end of the manga, Kurama has watched just about everyone he ever cared about die, appear to die, or be terribly maimed.
* [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Char Aznable]] not only used ''his best friend'' in exacting this, but also [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|talked plenty of cold-blooded smack]] to him for good measure.
Line 53:
* Seems to be [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Trixie's]] motivation for becoming the prosecutor in ''[[Turnabout Storm]]''; it's an opportunity to get payback against Twilight by having one of her friends sent to the Moon or the Sun for murder.
* Serves as the sole motivating force in too many [[Hurt Comfort Fic]] stories to even ''begin'' to list.
* ''[[
* In ''[[The Ghost Map]]'', [[Big Bad|Colonel Moran]] gives [[Sherlock Holmes]] a [[Sadistic Choice]] as his revenge: commit suicide, or Moran will murder Mrs. Watson. In the process of Holmes's attempt to talk him down, Moran decides for him and gives him [[Irony|a cocaine overdose.]]
