Line 28:
* ''[[Kekkaishi]]'' had [[Lady of War|Tokine]] perform this trope, right after fighting a much bigger rodent ''that could breathe fire''. She and her grandmother also have a similarly disproportionate fear of cockroaches.
* In [[Ranma ½]]'s second movie, all the girls run away from a horde of mice. Ranma stands there unaffected and comments on how silly they are to be afraid of mice, until he discovers that cats are following said mice. [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|At that point, he starts screaming in terror.]]
* Rabbit Team of ''[[Girls und Panzer]]'' bail out of their tank like it's on fire when they discover a [[Creepy Cockroach]] has taken up residence in it, and nobody else wants to go near their tank until it's dead. Perhaps because they fear that [[Speak of the Devil|speaking its name will attract its attention]], nobody calls it by its full name (''gokiburi''), instead calling it a "G". To take the gag even further, it's also drawn as a capital G (with antennas) rather than as a roach.
* In the ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' [[Visual Novel]] ''Tomo to Kimi to Senjou de'', Athrun decides to make a robot pet for his crush Cagalli. He ends up giving it a hamster design, but when she first sees it she has this reaction and smashes it. Kira steps in and explains, and Cagalli is both very touched by the gesture and very apologetic for destroying it.
* ''[[Inuyasha]]'': Kagome can handle [[Youkai]], blood, guts, wounds, two-timing boyfriends, time-travel, saving the world while trying to pass exams, lifting the spirits of the depressed, downtrodden and bullied and can even befriend the reclusive, the painfully shy, and aggressively hostile, but ask her to help a giant beast-faced [[Half-Human Hybrid|hanyou]] in his herb garden when there's an earthworm in plain sight and she'll fall to pieces.
