* In practically ''every [[Story Arc]]'' in ''[[Bleach]]'', Hollows are involved in some way, shape or form. In the very first one, they're worked in a [[Monster of the Week]] format. In the second arc, they appeared as [[Elite Mooks]] in flashbacks, and in the very last act, a group of [[Giant Mook]]s showed up to transport the [[Big Bad]] to their dimension, Hueco Mundo. Following that, we're introduced to Hollow-Shinigami hybrids called Arrancars, who take over the scene as a [[War Arc]] erupts between them and the Soul Society. Hell, in the Deicide mini-arc, said [[Big Bad]] used the Hogyoku, the same device that created the Arrancars, on himself, but it gradually turned him more Hollow-esque with each transformation. Even in the latest arc, where the antagonists are essentially superhumans, said superhumans only gained their abilities because Hollows attacked their pregnant mothers in the first place.
* The Skruggs of ''[[Heroman]]'' fill this role from the simple fact that they NEVER.''never, EVER.ever'' Seemseem to stay beaten.
* The Beastmen are this for the first half of [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]. After suppressing the humans underground for who knows how long they had it a long time coming too.
* Played with in ''[[Daphne in the Brilliant Blue]]'' with the Wong-Chang-Lee brothers, a group of [[Siblings in Crime]] who frequently butt heads with the members of the Nereids agency (including both groups stealing a submarine from each other over and over again) -- but who are more [[Friendly Enemy|friendly enemies]] than anything else, and [[Gondor Calls for Aid|join forces with Nereids (and others)]] when Maia's kidnapped.
