* Near the end of the Stone Ocean arc of ''[[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure
* ''[[Digimon Savers]]'': The [[Big Bad]] Kurata committed genocide,created collateral damage to [[Motive Decay|to take over the world]] in the mean time he sucked in void bending devices,so what does he do when he gets defeated? He activates a huge explosion that causes the Digital World to crash into Earth,and he disappears into a light while doing it.This action also is the final straw for the [[Final Boss]].

** In episode 27, Ashura captures Aphrodite A and scans it in order to learn how building a photong engine. He hands over the records to an Iron Mask and commands him go and hand them out to Dr. Hell. Though, a [[Robeast|Kikaiju]] -that had been deployed by Ashura to delay Mazinger Z- is returning to base right on that moment, and steps on the Iron Mask, killing him and destroying the information they had obtained.

** This only happened in the anime; the Scouts regularly killed villains in the manga.

* ''[[Dragon Ball
** A good example of the monster variety: Babidi is done in by Majin Buu (while Buu was his ''father's'' creation, not his own, he intentionally released him).
** Frieza was cut in half by his own attack (he even lampshades it) which led to his first demise (though he got better later on).
Line 18:
*** Four times if you count ''[[Dragon Ball GT|GT]]''.
** And in the original ''Dragon Ball'', Tao Pai Pai got blown up by his own grenade, as Goku kicked it back to him (although like Frieza, he made an [[Unexplained Recovery]] later on. In both cases, they came back as [[Cyborg|cyborgs]].)
* In ''[[
* In an early episode of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', Ed does battle with an alchemist who transmutes a sword and is later impaled by it. Needless to say, he doesn't get better. This also shows up much later in the ''Brotherhood'' series when one of the generals awakens the Mannequin Soldiers so they can take back the city. They promptly eat him.
** The main villains of both series also fall victim to this. In the first anime Dante, tired of Gluttony's whining over the loss of Lust, transmutes his reason away and turns him into a mindless monster. [[The Dog Bites Back|She is later killed by him because he's gone berserk]]. In the second anime, Pride eating Kimblee proves his downfall when Kimblee's soul ends up distracting him at a crucial moment and causing his death (something Pride never even considered, because he assumed it was impossible for any soul he consumes to maintain its individuality). Father's attempt to absorb Greed for his Philosopher's Stone also backfires when Greed uses the connection between them to use his Homunculus power on Father, turning his body to charcoal and leaving him vulnerable.

** Gato, the gangster who hired Zabuza and Haku, gets slaughtered by Zabuza.
** Zaku ended up having his arms blown up by his own air tubes (implants which let him perform sonic and air pressure attacks) after Shino snuck some of his bugs up into them, clogging them.
Line 34:
** Sasuke absorbed Orochimaru into his body using the technique Orochimaru intended to use to take over Sasuke's body.
** Danzo's death is also an interesting case. Having spent his whole life preaching his principles that a shinobi should never show any emotions in battle, and consider the mission to be above comrades, guess how he died? Sasuke pierced his Chidori right through his teammate (whom Danzo had held hostage) to kill Danzo.
* In ''[[
* In the [[Grand Finale]] of ''[[Mai-HiME (
* ''[[Fate/stay
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'':
** Toredia was an insane [[Dystopia|Orussia]] [[Right-Wing Militia Fanatic|Liberation War activist]] that experimented on mass-producing [[Night of the Living Mooks|the Mariages]] in ''[[All There in the Manual|StrikerS Sound Stage X]]'', planning to use them to attack the capitols of numerous countries, saying that they needed to know pain. [[I'm a Humanitarian|He was devoured by the Mariages]] before he could execute this plan.
** Precia Testarossa, desperate to reach Al Hazard before dying of her disease or being arrested by the TSAB, tried to go do the dimensional transference when she had nine out of 21 Jewel Seeds, short of even the 14-seed bare minimum she suspected she would need. She falls to her death as the transference fails and her lair collapses.
* In ''[[
** Even though no one dies, Luffy is beaten around by Foxy for nearly their entire fight. Foxy uses both his power to slow down time and mirrors to reflect his "slow beams." At the end of the fight, however, he's caught by one of his own beams, reflected from a shard of the same mirrors he used earlier, allowing Luffy ample time to set up a truly epic finishing punch.
** Also with Eneru, the very gold ball he grafted onto Luffy's arm meant to slow him down becomes the very thing that ends up stopping Eneru's energized death ball and defeating the fake "god".
** Moria uses his 'Shadows Asguard' technique in order to absorb one thousand shadows on the island to fight Luffy. While he's much bigger and stronger, he's also slower and struggling to keep the shadows in. Luffy defeats him handily through a combination of Gear 2nd and Gear 3rd.

** One of the Death Note owners, Kyosuke Higuchi, is killed when his notebook is repossessed by Light, who recovers his memories and writes Higuchi's name in a scrap that he tore out of the notebook earlier.
** Light himself suffers this fate at the very end of the anime when Ryuk makes good on his promise to Light in the very first episode and writes Light's name into the Death Note.

** AND used straight. Kurotsuchi's awesome in that particular respect. He works in a job where being eaten is a job hazard. So what does he do? He implants packets of drugs inside himself and his lieutenant so anything that takes a bite out of them or otherwise consumes them gets a nasty overdose.
*** ...how many jobs do you know where being eaten ''isn't'' a hazard?
Line 56:
** In 421, this happens to Aizen. Relying on the Hogyoku for power was fine when it still considered him a worthy master. The moment it didn't, the Hogyoku took back all of the power it had given him leaving him vulnerable to Urahara's sealing kidou.
** IN 466, Yukio tries to kill Toshiro with an inescapable [[Zerg Rush]] of [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]] programmed to zone in on Toshiro's location and crush him. Then Toshiro flashsteps ''right next to Yukio'' and freezes his Fullbring. Yukio can't do anything but scream in terror as his own monsters surround him and Toshiro, knowing full well that Toshiro will be able to dodge their attack while he can't.
* ''[[Robotech:
* In the [[Bile Fascination]]-filled ''[[
* ''[[Ranma ½
** In an earlier story, the Date Monster of Watermelon Island, Ranma is stuck in female form and defenseless against Tatewaki Kuno, who has lost his delusions and thus is capable of actually concentrating on defeating Ranma for once. Aware that his [[Training From Hell]] has conditioned him to attack watermelons, s/he slips one onto Kuno's head, whereupon he knocks himself out cold and restores his memory- and thus his delusions.
** The Martial Arts Dining story might also count by a technicality; Ranma's winning move, the Parley du Foie Gras, not only takes advantage of a loophole in the rules, but also turns Piccolet Chardin's normally advantageous mutations into Ranma's key to victory. Piccolet's rubber-like face allows him to eat faster then Ranma can, but also makes it easy for Ranma to force his own food down Piccolet's throat.
*** Actually referred to by name in an anime-exclusive OAV; early into the Christmas Scramble OAV, Kodachi mockingly points out that Kuno's unidentified but huge present is far too big to even get through the door, never mind into Akane Tendo's stocking. Kuno, horrorstruck, points out that he's been hoisted with his own petard (probably not in the original Japanese, though, as Kuno's Shakespearean references are a [[Woolseyism]]). And is promptly squashed under Shampoo's bicycle.

** Ah, but the super weapon with a programming defect may as well be the same as the mad scientist whose creations kill him in the end. This also happened in the live-action movie, ''G Savior'', directly to the main antagonist.

** On a different scale, [[Fantastic Racism|Blue Cosmos]] [[The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized|extremists]] incited the previous war by [[Moral Event Horizon|surprise-nuking Junius 7, killing millions of civilians]]. The second war begins by ZAFT extremists [[Colony Drop|surprise-deorbiting the remains of J7 and chucking it at Earth]] because [[It's Personal|their families died on the installation]]. You know, just in case one didn't realize that the whole theme of the series is [[Cycle of Revenge]] provoking a [[Lensman Arms Race]]...

** Kodai, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Pokémon: Zoroark: Master of Illusions
** Bianca's Minccino in ''Black and White'' had a dreadful habit of cleaning anything it found dirty. Bianca pulled out a Poké Ball that was just as unclean as Ash's badge case (she delivered that to him as well), and when Minccino saw that, it darted up to clean it off. After that, though... wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, click.
