Line 45:
** Nagi informs the HiME that {{spoiler|1=the HiME Star is descending and will continue to do so until someone gains its power. The earthquakes and weather shifts caused by its movemement make the HiME consider that it will destroy the world otherwise.}} Not really, but the {{spoiler|1=perceived time crunch forces several of the more impulsive HiME into actions they might've waited before taking otherwise.}}
** Yukariko blames {{spoiler|Nao for attacking her after the above revelation, in reality [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit|an illusion projected by her CHILD]].}} Nao, already a bitter, cynical girl by nature, {{spoiler|1=assumes the HiME coming to confront her about attacking Yukariko are attacking her first, and [[Eye Scream|loses an eye in the resulting fight]], firmly shoving her from Anti-Hero into an antagonist slot.}}
** Yuiichi has no idea how deep [[:Category:Yandere|the feelings]] his [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]], Shiho, are. Naturally, she ends up {{spoiler|trying to [[Murder the Hypotenuse]] multiple times, and her defeat in the end causes his death.}}
** Mikoto's training and {{spoiler|arguable brainwashing at a young age}} repeatedly spawn [[Diabolus Ex Machina]], {{spoiler|killing Takumi and Yuiichi both.}}
** Shizuru's failure to inform Haruka she was leaving the school to look after her grievously hurt best friend leads to Haruka {{spoiler|tracking her down, seeing Shizuru's private actions while Natsuki is asleep, and jumping to all the wrong conclusions.}} Her eventual accusations {{spoiler|of her molesting Natsuki while she slept, in Natsuki's hearing, cause Natsuki to react...poorly to Shizuru's attempts to reassure her, and the perceived rejection causes Shizuru to have a psychotic break and kill lots of people that "could threaten Natsuki", ending in the deaths of Haruka, Section 1, Nao's mother, and Shizuru and Natsuki themselves in the final showdown.}}
* In the manga ''[[Saitama Chainsaw Shoujo]]'', the main character is a bad speaker with self-confidence issues whose only two friends suddenly stop talking to her after a transfer student joins the school and steals her boyfriend. She doesn't take it well, feeling crushed and friendless, and soon decides that [[:Category:Yandere|revenge followed by suicide]] is the only option she has left.
* The entire series of ''[[Ranma ½]]'' is made of this trope. This is lampshaded at least once, after Akane beat up Ranma who was trying to get a scroll with a secret technique, which was incidentally in the Hotspring Akane was in. After Akane's father explains she says [[Why Didn't You Just Say So?|Ranma could have just told her]]. His rather accurate response is "And just how often do you listen before clobbering me?"
* Parodied in ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]''. There is an episode that has Hayate spending the night at Hinagiku's house; then Hinagiku end up bumping with Ayumu, Hayate's other love interest and Hina's new friend as well. That's when she says this is bad, and the narrator detailedly explains this trope, commenting that Hinagiku fears that Ayumu will find out somehow that Hayate is inside the house, then will run away and get frustrated because of a misunderstanding. And then it happens.
