Line 31:
* ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' presents to us Karasu, a demon specialized in channeling his energy to create explosives and one of the members of Team Toguro during the Dark Tournament Arc.
* The Playing Card Bomber from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh]]'' is a sadistic psychopath who stakes people's lives on a game of solitaire (the anime changed it to a guessing game involving balloons - probably to keep the number of card games down to one), by detonating bombs depending on the player's choices.

== [[Real Life]] ==
* [[Truth in Television|Real life example]]: George Metesky, who planted 33 bombs (22 of which exploded) and injured a total of 15 people from 1940 to 1956. He was motivated by being denied compensation when he waited too long to file a claim after an industrial accident. See [[The Other Wiki]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Bomber for details].
* Franz Fuchs, a racist terrorist guy who used a total of 28 bombs,killing four people and injuring 15. [[Laser
** Also in real life: The Unabomber.
