Line 17:
{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[X 1999]]'', at least the manga, Satsuki Yatoji [[I Always Wanted to Say That|Hannibalizes]] Yuzuriha Nekoi into nigh-catatonia by explaining why she thinks killing people is alright. She then proceeds to put theory into practice and it takes a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] by {{spoiler|Inuki}} to save Yuzuriha.
* In the ''[[Berserk]]'' manga, both Griffith and Guts do this to antagonists who have captured them, proving that they don't need any weapons to get the better of people.
Line 55 ⟶ 54:
* In ''[[Prinz von Sommerhoffnung]]'', when Sommerhoffnung tries to pull a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] on Ywiu and Romea, the two shut her down with this, centred on accusing her of being a [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]] [[Know-Nothing Know-It-All]].
* [[Dragon Age: The Crown of Thorns|This]] Dragon Age story has the dwarven noble protagonist delivering one to the female human noble Warden {{spoiler|in her Fade nightmare,}} and that's just one of several.
** Actually, an even more memorable example is the one he delivers during [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6072033/6/Dragon_Age_The_Crown_of_Thorns Chapter 5], when he {{spoiler|is on trial and completely dominates the entire assembly, throwing Bhelen's pet nobles at each other and completing his epic [[Zero-Approval Gambit]] by destroying the focus of the gathering, which means that no one ever got around to questioning exactly why he didn't try to defend the innocence he'd so vehemently proclaimed earlier that day.}} Of course, the reason was because {{spoiler|he'd [[Faking the Dead|faked Trian's death]] and ''wanted'' to be seen as the murderer.}} [[
* An [[Your Mileage May Vary|epic]] display of Hannibal Lecture versus [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] is featured in the fourth chapter of A:TLAR, 'Revolution 1.' In a conversation set late in the chapter, morally ambiguous [[Rebel Leader|Katara]] is interrogating the warden of a prison for earthbenders. He attempts to perform a Lecture, it being centered on [[Not So Different]], and she promptly tears that down. He later questions the idea of a [[The Stoic|battle-hardened]] warrior being troubled by death, which she responds to by describing his cruel nature at its roots (in a sort of reverse Hannibal Lecture). He [[Villainous Breakdown|does not take this well]], which leads to her slashing his throat to keep him quiet.
* {{spoiler|[[GLaDOS]]}} uses this on {{spoiler|Wheatley}} in the ''[[Portal 2]]'' fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6953776/1/Test_Of_Humanity Test Of Humanity]''.
