Line 30:
* Akito Sohma from ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' fits this trope. She was set up as a male heir to the Sohma's, and her extremely cruel mother made her life a living hell. No wonder that she goes insane and controls everyone around her with an iron fist.
* In ''[[The Familiar of Zero]]'', [[Tiny Tyrannical Tsundere]] Louise mistreats Saito, often causing him more injury than the main antagonists. Aside of Saito being a [[Lovable Sex Maniac]], it's suggested Louise has had a long history of being bullied by the other students due to her inability to perform spells properly, and used to be on the recieving end of her not - so - tiny [[Tsundere]] sister Eleonore's annoyance. (In fact, Eleonore is one of the few persons who ''scares the shit outta Louise''.) Still '''not''' an excuse for how ''far'' she goes in her abuse of Saitou.
* Tsukasa from ''[[Hana Yori Dango]]''. Didn't see his father in years, his mother Kaede was a borderline [[Complete Monster]] [[Evil Matriarch]] who fucked up with his and his sister Tsubaki's lives ever since birth, his well-intentioned but troubled sister disciplined him harshly... and he grew into a MASSIVE bully with huge entitlement problems who pretty much ran Eitoku Academy through fear and could be very less-than-pleasant to his close friends and his [[Tsundere]] love interest.
* If there's a Conflicted type of [[Bastard Boyfriend]] in any [[Shoujo]] or [[Josei]] manga, they'll almost surely be this: terribly abusive to their girlfriends/[[Yaoi Guys|boyfriends]] and with either a [[Dark and Troubled Past]] (with either [[Abusive Parents]], heavy [[Parental Neglect|parental neglection]], etc) or an extremely dark and trouble present. It certainly explains why they're like that, but it doesn '''NOT''' justify the shit they pull on their "other halves". Some examples are:
** {{spoiler|Takumi}} from [[Nana]] ( {{spoiler|alcoholic father, [[Ill Girl]] mother, he and his sister raised themselves}});
** Sakuya Ookuchi from ''[[Sensual Phrase]]'' ( {{spoiler|[[Child of Rape]], [[Broken Bird]] [[Alcoholic Parent|alcoholic mother]] who dies, [[Financial Abuse]] from his [[Parental Substitute]], bullying and isolation due to his American heritage}});
** Uo Hakuron from ''[[Haou Airen]''] ([[Tyke Bomb]] raised by [[The Triads and the Tongs]] and turned into their top-one [[Child Soldier]],
** Klaus from ''[[Hyakujitsu no Bara]]'' (drug-addicted, with lots of [[Conflicting Loyalty|conflicted loyalties]], a love interest [[The Chains of Commanding|with]] [[Broken Messiah|his own]] [[Warrior Prince|and strong]] [[Can't Have Sex Ever|issues]]);
** Souma from [[Sakura Gari]] (''horrifyingly'' abused by every single person he met ever since he was taken in by his Japanese family... Then he goes on abusing Masataka, the only person he feels that he can relate to.)
* Kouichi Saionji from ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'', in spades. He's a wannabe [[Bastard Boyfriend]] who treats Anthy like absolute shit, scoffs at Wakaba's love letter and is pretty much the [[Butt Monkey]] of the Student Council—and also a dude with intense self-loathing and issues towards his best friend Touga, who exploits it like whoa for his own purposes.
* {{spoiler|Mr. Legend}}'s gradual power loss in ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'' forced him into
* ''[[Your Lie in April]]'': Saki Arima pushed her son Kousei to extremes in his piano training, punishing mistakes harshly and beating him several times, including once hard enough that he bled. She also had a terminal illness that she would die of two years before series start, a husband seemingly always away at work, and fear that Kousei would not be able to survive on his own if he did not develop his piano skills fully whatever the cost. Whether this successfully excuses or at least explains her conduct, or if it isn't enough to grant her any sympathy, is one of the main disagreements in the fandom.
