Line 10:
* Sousuke gives one to a [[Lonely Rich Kid]] with a crush on [[Tsundere|Kaname]] in episode 3 of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' Fumoffu, after said rich kid yells at Kaname for tricking him.
{{quote|''I don't know the details but it's your own fault. [[Surrounded by Idiots|You surrounded yourself with incompetent subordinates]] and allowed your judgment to be clouded. If this were the battlefield, you'd be dead ten times over.''}}
** Sousuke attempts to give one to Takuma during the Behemoth Arc in the novels. Takuma failed his overall mission, had his [[Humongous Mecha]] destroyed, was slowly dying a painful death, and his only sister that he loved died. When he bemoaned his fate and asked why he failed, Sousuke took the question ''[[Literal -Minded|literally]]'' and tactlessly started telling him why he sucked. Kaname tells him to shut up, and Tessa resumes comforting Takuma.
* {{spoiler|Near}}'s final speech to {{spoiler|Light Yagami}} in ''[[Death Note]]''. Also a [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] moment, as he responds to {{spoiler|Light}}'s claim that he is God of the new world and that no one else could carry out justice like he does by saying that he's nothing more than a murderer, and in believing himself a god who can decide what is just and what is not, he is arguably even worse than those who would use the notebook for personal gain.
* The Spider Queen in ''[[xxxHolic]]'' gives one to Watanuki about being overly willing to throw away his own life for others,
Line 104:
** And then a [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] occurs later in the same arc, where Satoko admits that she's been depending on her brother for too long, and now that {{spoiler|she's being tortured to death}}, she won't cry anymore so that she can prove how strong she's become. Bonus points for making Shion realize how much ''she'' sucks for not realizing that {{spoiler|torturing Satoko}} isn't what Satoshi wanted her to do.
** A rare villain-to-villain speech is given in the second season from Okonogi to {{spoiler|Takano Miyo after she refuses to surrender.}}
* ''[[Durarara!!]]'': {{spoiler|Simon}} punches {{spoiler|Izaya}} in the face and gives him one.
* ''[[Lovely Complex]]'': Risa likes to hand these out after punching people to get them to calm down and think more rationally. She's done this to Otani and Mimi.
* ''[[Canaan]]'': Subverted HARD and played straight at the same time in episode 10 when {{spoiler|Hakko tries twice to kill Liang Qi with one of these (which she can actually do due to her superpower) only to have Liang Qi troll her on both accounts and then deliver her own Reason You Suck Speech right back at Hakko each time; to add insult to injury, Hakko finds to her dismay that she accidentally killed Santana with her second speech, which Liang Qi all too gleefully informs her of during her second speech.}}
Line 123:
* ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' has one delivered by {{spoiler|Anthy}} to {{spoiler|her brother Akio}}, the [[Big Bad]] of the show, as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: By all means, stay in this cozy coffin of yours and continue to play prince. But I have to go now. She isn't gone at all, she's merely vanished from your world.
** And Touga gives one to Utena in episode 12 after defeating her. "Even though you fancied yourself to be a prince in the end you were just a girl. Despite what you may have hoped for your hopes didn't become reality."
* As part of a [[He's Back]] moment in the second season of ''[[Darker Thanthan Black]]'', Hei delivers one to Reprin, an FSB officer. Reprin [[No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine|invites Hei to a meal on the train they are both on]] and pressures him into working for him by threatening to blow up the train. Reprin justifies this by talking about the evil of Contractors, citing one who is a [[Complete Monster]] (who works for him). Hei tells Reprin that he wouldn't have the guts to do it and is a hypocrite who [[Not So Different|has all of the moral cowardice he accuses Contractors of having]]. Hei then pins his hand to the table by stabbing him with a carving knife.
* The end of the ''[[Mai-Otome]]'' manga has one of these, in which the protagonist "Manshiro" tells the [[Big Bad]] that he [[Complete Monster|does not love anyone, not even himself]].
* Schwarzwald of ''[[The Big O]]'' delivers one {{spoiler|from beyond the grave!}} As big duo devours {{spoiler|Alan Gabriel}}
